On 27 July 2022, hundreds of Iraqi demonstrators supporting Iraqi Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr stormed the Council of Representatives of Iraq building located in the Green Zone in the Iraqi capital Baghdad. The storming, known as the "Ashura Revolution" (Arabic: ثورة عاشوراء) or the "Muharram Revolution" (ثورة محرم الحرام) by Sadrists,[2][3][4][5][6] came after news was leaked about the nomination of Shiite forces opposed to the Sadrist movement, Mohammed Shia' Al Sudani, for the position of prime minister of Iraq.[7]
Earlier in July, al-Sadr effectively vetoed the candidacy of rival Nouri al-Maliki, accusing the former premier of corruption in a tweet.[8] Incumbent Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi called for the protestors to "immediately withdraw", and after a public message by al-Sadr to "pray and go home," the crowd dispersed,[7] although they returned a week later after al-Sadr called on them to not miss the "golden opportunity" to demand reforms.[9]
