IRAQ SHIITE CLERIC MUQTADA AL SADR INTERVIEW CLIP 1

Cleric Muqtada Al Sadr commenting on the former Prime Minister of Iraq Nouri Al Maliki: " No it was not a mistake. He did it on purpose. Many thought that these policies would lead to a positive outcome, but unfortunately it did not. I am sure that he realized that these policies will not have a positive result. However, we hope that the new government will rectify the situation and gradually put an end to sectarianism. It cannot happen in one second or even in one year… addressing sectarian concerns require a long period of time… because these concerns fill the minds and hearts of people making it hard to eliminate them… It is a strong wall that needs to be gradually broken."
