After violent protests and preventing, Shia chief Muqtada al-Sadr’s supporters have left Baghdad’s Inexperienced Zone.
The unrest was triggered by his announcement that he's quitting politics.
Dozens of individuals had been killed when al-Sadr’s supporters battled Iraqi safety forces and rival Shia factions close to authorities buildings and embassies.
Al-Sadr is one in all Iraq’s most necessary figures, wielding monumental affect over many elements of public life.
Is there another excuse for al-Sadr’s announcement?
