President Salih to launch a political initiative soon

Shafaq News / A source close to President Barham Salih revealed that the latter will launch a new initiative to address the current political crisis in the country.

The source told Shafaq News agency that Salih started working on the initiative shortly after al-Sadr decided to pull out of the political process, pointing out that the President received positive signs from the political parries, especially the Coordination Framework.

He added that the initiative aims to make al-Sadr retract his decision which can seriously affect the country, noting that no government can succeed without Sadrist blessing and support.
