Abdul-Aziz al-Hakim, leader of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (Sciri), commanded a mass rally of his followers "to support the government to solve the issue of militias, and to spread the implementation of law and order."
Sciri is allied with the Badr Organization, one of the most feared militias in Iraq, but is also a key member of the two-month-old government of national unity, led by Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki.

While it would be foolish to deny Iraq is full of violence and problems, this is a very positive event.
