Foreign actors must not ‘impose will’ on protests: top Iraq cleric
Iraq’s top Shia cleric Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani yesterday warned foreign actors against interfering in anti-government protests that erupted early last month and urged political factions to avoid “infighting”.
“No person or group, no side with a particular view, no regional or international actor may seize the will of the Iraqi people and impose its will on them,” Sistani said in his weekly sermon read by a representative in the Shia holy city of Karbala.
