The political crisis resulting from the conflict between Iraq's two main Shiite groups, the Sadrists and the Coordination Framework, is becoming more complicated with fewer options for a solution.
In his first public appearance since Sadrists stormed the parliament building on July 27, former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said in a press conference on Aug. 9 that “there will be no dissolution of the parliament or early elections without the return of the legislature to hold sessions.”
