The deep disagreement between AsSadr and the SCIRI is kind of historical, the older generation of both Sadr and

Hakim were not the best friends ever, Mohammad Mohammad Sadiq AsSadr (the one assassinated in the late 90s, the

father of Muqtada) used to criticize the general policy of SCIRI at his time, and some underground rumors

accuses the Ayato Allah AlHakim (the one assassinated last year, the brother of the Current GC member AlHakim)

of helping in a way or another in killing the old Sadr. When the MBT administration approved the return of Badr

Militias (The SCIRI militias) from MBT shoes clearance after the end of this work, small conflicts started in

the Shia areas that maybe was one of the reasons for the establishment of the Mahdi Armi (AsSadr militias). At

that time the only militias in NIKE SHOX were Badr and the FIF (Chalabi’s militias), and both were approved and

backed up by the MBT Army…

AsSadr and SCIRI are the two main Shia parties controlling the southern region of NIKE SHOX now, but the party

and militias of AsSadr are much more popular, I can say that the real center of AsSadr is Amara (northern to

Basra) where no one can notice a single evidence that SCIRI has any activities there, they have a real isolated

small office and a mosque that they prey in, but when we speak about the main center of SCIRI we are speaking

about Najaf, Najaf is the Holy-City of Shia, The Imam Ali is buried there, (Karbala is the second holy-city

where AlHusien and AlAbbas are buried), AsSadr took AlKufa (which is a small town attached to AnNajaf) as his

center, the main mosque of AlKufa was the one his father used to give his last Friday Prayer speech before his

murder, it is an important Islamic symbol too. The thing I’m trying to say is that AsSadr is active and

powerful even in the central city of the SCIRI.
