Protestors in Anbar threaten to sever
relations with the Government (NINA)
31 Mar 2013
Ramadi (NINA) – Protestors in Anbar
threatened the Government that they will
sever relations with it unless it shows
good intentions.
A statement issued on Sunday evening,
Mar. 31, the Protestors said that the
Government's negative messages, in the
last three days, mainly aerial bombing of
Tarmiya area and besieging the prisons
suggest that the Government is not
serious in discussions with protestors in
the Protest Fields.
The statement added that the tyrannical
decision of postponing elections in Anbar
and Niniveh provinces might result in
withdrawing military units from provinces
where elections held and send them to
these provinces under the pretext of
protecting polling centers, while in fact to
attack Protest fields.
Earlier Anbar Protest Organizing
Committee announced that a negotiating
committee is been formed to negotiate
with the Government.
Chairman of the Protest's Political
Committee, Sheikh Abdul Razak al-
Shimari, pointed out that the Negotiating
Committee will carry the protestors'
demands in one working paper for all
provinces and will not allow any side to
talk for the Protestors' demands other
than the Negotiating Committee.
