The demonstrations were renewed yesterday, but with less participation than in the past days in this city.
Protests also erupted in Tahrir Square in central Baghdad.
The representative of the United Nations after meeting with the reference Sisati yesterday in Najaf, that the reference approved the road map presented by the organization, which includes a review of the election law within two weeks.
The Grand Ayatollah, who never speaks publicly, "is concerned to see the political forces not serious enough to implement such reforms," Hines said.
For him, "if the executive, judicial and legislative authorities are unable or unwilling to make these reforms decisively, there has to be a way of thinking about a different approach."
Despite protests demanding the resignation of the government in its second month, Sistani, who is the main supporter of all prime ministers in Iraq, did not withdraw confidence from Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi.
He constantly calls for a political and "peaceful" solution to the "legitimate" demands of the demonstrators.But it is not enough for the Iraqi street.
"We don't want amendments, we want a complete change, we don't want the government, the parliament, and all the parties," one protester in Tahrir Square said.
Demonstrators consider the political system obsolete and must be changed, and demand the enactment of a new constitution and a completely new political class to lead Iraq, OPEC's second largest producer.
Calls by the Marjaiya to avoid violence do not have any impact on the demonstrators so far, while the majority of the political force in the country to put an end to this challenge, even if it is necessary to resort to force.

In the meantime, thousands of protesters continued to demonstrate yesterday in the cities of Hilla, Diwaniyah and Kut, all south of Baghdad, and continued civil disobedience paralyzing government departments and schools, despite security measures that many considered to turn the country into a "new republic of fear."
Demonstrators accuse Iran, the United States' strongest rival in Iraq, which they see as the architect of a corrupt political system and demanding his "dismissal."The agreement was reached by political blocs, through meetings at the highest level supervised by the commander of the Quds Force in the Iranian Revolutionary Guards General Qasim Soleimani, who held meetings in Baghdad and Najaf to convince leaders of political parties to protect the government.
On the other hand, slogans against the United States, which seemed largely absent from the crisis in Iraq, until yesterday.
Lebanon and Iraq We regret the timing is not appropriate
The only logical explanation for the lack of movement of the United States of America, Britain and France to support the Iraqi and Lebanese demonstrations and pressure on their governments that the demonstrations came at a time!It is a movement that surprised everyone and these countries are still in the first path of sanctions and the establishment of naval forces and the purchase of missile systems and and and and, and the story of sanctions is still at the beginning and did not exhaust its purpose and no one is in a hurry to the fall of the mullahs now, but no one is in a hurry to get Iran out of the region The region must be at the hands of those countries in order to take the price of it, but to be brought out by the peoples of this region will not have the virtues and safety, so in the careful safety and more careful alliances and deals and these revolutions will spoil the cooking !!
It is stated that everyone is against Iranian influence supporting terrorism, and the Iraqi and Lebanese revolution is pouring in the same declared directions for those countries that are working to get rid of Iranian influence and restrict the role of Iranian-backed militias in the region and stop their terrorist activities in the words of the European Union. Iraqi and Lebanese who shout «Iran Libra Libra Baghdad and Beirut remain free»?
Why is no one moving to pressure the governments of the two countries to get rid of the Iranian influence in their countries now?Did not let Qasim Soleimani roam shuttle between the two capitals order and end and incite the killing of demonstrators and the international community do not see can not hear do not speak?
Suleimani visited Beirut and was in the southern suburbs in support of Hezbollah and inciting him to move against the demonstrators and motivated him to use all means of repression to terrorize and prevent the demonstrators, Iran will not bear the loss of Hezbollah's influence in Lebanon after all the money paid and the cost of it, through Iran governs Lebanon .
Suleimani himself, who met with the Iraqi government to support and incite to suppress the demonstrators and his refusal to replace this government through which Iran bypasses the economic sanctions, and for every dollar spent by Iran in Syria and Iraq, it reaps 7000 dollars, the Arab capitals 4 golden chickens to Iran to avoid the effects of sanctions, and get rid Of its agents and agents would mean closing a door that had been an outlet for Iran.
All this is happening under the eyes of the countries that declare that they are working to end the Iranian influence in the region and declare that they are against the terrorist militias of Iran, and these are the militias that practice their terrorism in public and are overlooked and silenced or tolerated only a tweet or a soft statement to save face.
How many dead people will move this so-called international community to save these peoples?Is not Iran suppressing demonstrators in both countries?Aren't their terrorist militias practicing murder and public terrorism?Isn't that a good opportunity to get rid of Iranian terrorism?Or is the timing irrespective of the number of people killed in these demonstrations?

Sistani in the future UN envoy (Rudaw site)
Baghdad: Hamza Mustafa
Hours after launching an initiative to resolve the crisis of popular protests in Iraq, which entered its second month, the United Nations representative to Iraq, Jenin Blaskart, met with the Shiite supreme authority in Iraq, Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, in his office in Najaf (160 km south of Baghdad) yesterday. "The religious authority is concerned about the seriousness of the political class in carrying out serious reforms," she said after the meeting.Sistani has continued through his representatives in Friday sermons in the city of Karbala during the past five weeks sharp criticism of the Iraqi political class, blaming them what happened in the country of crises and failure at all levels after the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime in 2003. Sistani's office also denied the news circulated about Talks between the Shiite blocs to keep the current Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi and his mandate to end the protests by force if necessary, indicating that it is not part of those meetings.
The UN representative said after meeting Sistani that the reference approved the road map presented by the organization, which includes a review of the election law within two weeks."If the executive, judicial and legislative authorities are unable or unwilling to make these reforms decisively, there must be a way of thinking about a different approach," Sistani said. Although the protests demanding the resignation of the government enter its second month, Sistani, who is the main supporter of all prime ministers in Iraq, did not withdraw confidence from Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi.He constantly calls for a political and "peaceful" solution to the "legitimate" demands of the demonstrators.But it is not enough for the Iraqi street.One of the demonstrators in Tahrir Square: «We do not want amendments, we want a complete change, we do not want the government, parliament and all parties!». Demonstrators say the political system formed after the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003 is outdated and must be changed, and demand the enactment of a new constitution and a completely new political class to lead Iraq, OPEC's second-largest oil producer.
Calls from the Marjaiya to avoid violence do not have any impact on the demonstrators so far. Plasskart's initiative to resolve the crisis coincides with an escalating political movement between the forces and parties as well as the three presidencies to find a way out of the current crisis in Iraq with unprecedented protests since 2003 and to date claimed more than 320 dead and more than 12 thousand wounded. In this context, the Presidency has completed the new election law.A source in the presidency said in a statement yesterday that the presidency, with the help of a team of Iraqi experts and representatives of the United Nations, drafted a new election law, under which the Electoral Commission will be reconstituted from the judiciary and experts «away from partisan quotas».He added: «The law also includes the reduction of the House of Representatives by 30 per cent, and reduce the age of candidacy to 25 years».He pointed to «the adoption of the loudest voice in the electoral districts», noting that «the prime minister also has a draft election law, has been submitted draft prepared by the presidency to the government for the financial implications».He pointed to «the existence of consultations to unify the vision on the law in preparation for submission to the House of Representatives». Hussein Arab, a member of parliament, told Asharq Al-Awsat that "the current crisis needs to involve the United Nations and the religious authority in order to find a solution, because they have the confidence of all, and they can also include any dialogue between the various parties.""The chances of a solution are not great, but if all aspects of the dialogue are completed, as well as the continuation of the reform measures on a large scale, it could be a unique opportunity to resolve this crisis," he said. "The government is now ready for any initiative. "To make serious reforms, as well as for the parliament, which is also trying to reach practical solutions."
For his part, Hashim Shamaa, a member of the Iraqi Center for Political and Legal Development, told «Middle East» that «the political space is open to all attempts to curb the current crisis», noting that «in light of the broad popular movement in Iraq and amid the insistence of demonstrators to achieve the demand The main thing is to change the form of governance in Iraq, it is difficult in the presence of the current political class to reach real participants to defuse the crisis ».Shamma added that «initiatives have been numerous; both by Parliament Speaker Mohammed Halbousi as well as the President's call for a comprehensive national dialogue and the call now adopted by the United Nations ... but they all clash with the crisis of confidence experienced by the street with the political class», noting that «the solution lies in Implementation of the Constitution despite all the observations on it ».
Sadr: We will not allow the United States to make Iraq like Syria, nor early elections under its supervision
The leader of the Sadr movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, on Monday and America threatened to angry million demonstrations if they intervene in Iraq.
Sadr said in a tweet through his platform "tensioning", that "once again proved America occupied as insect and interfere in the affairs of Iraqis," pointing out that "Iraq is the people of Iraq, which is determined by Mesira, especially if we turn to the occupation of the corrupt and brought them to the necks of the people." .
He added: "It demands not to block (the Internet, although it is the biggest controller of that network," adding: "We will not allow America to ride the wave of transforming Iraq into Syria and into another arena of conflict."
"If it intervenes again, it will be the end of its existence through angry demonstrations by millions of us directly," he said, concluding: "My free patriotic father does not need the aid of arrogant countries and does not need the help of others."
