After the news yesterday of Al Qaeda weakening in Iraq, where every year is worse than before, comes this good news today from Haider Ajina.
The following is a Haider Ajina translation of news in Iraq’s May 10th addition of Almada.
Over 200 Iraqi tribal leaders to sign an honor compact rejecting terrorism.
Over 200 Iraqi tribal leaders will meet in Baghdad on Wednesday may 10th to sign an honor compact to denounce and reject terrorism and sectarian violence.
Tribal leaders announced they will meet in Khademiah Baghdad on Wednesday May 10th at a conference. This conference will result in an honor compact obliging Iraqi tribes to cooperate amongst each other and the authorities to protect their members from terrorist attacks, and to help with national unity and condemning sectarian violence.
The "Foundation for Humanitarian Dialogue" sponsored and organized the conference. Husien Ismail Alsadar who uses Khademiah as his center of activities and enjoys the backing and blessing of Al Sistani is the foundation’s president. Some Sheiks and tribal leaders said they hope that a committee can be formed to represent Iraqi tribes in the "National accord conference" on June 10th along with the honor compact signed by tribal leaders.
A foundation speaker said that the conference will be attended by heads of Tribes from all of Iraq, Arab Kurd and Turkmen tribes. The speaker added that the conference will also discus political, security, and social issues in the country. We hope to come up with ideas and plans to cooperate in stopping terrorist activities affecting the citizens. He pointed out that the honor compact to fight terrorism and denounce sectarian violence would be the main results of this conference.
Guess who didn't attend?
Shiite Leader Al-Sadr said U.N. and Arab League envoys had been invited to attend the meeting and he was disappointed they had not!
So much for wanting to help the Iraqi people get peace, eh?
