This is a statement from the Iraq Freedom Congress, a Secular Non-Ethnic organisation which campaigns on behalf of ordinary Iraqi people. It opposes both the US Occupation and the Islamist Militias. Here it deals with fighting between two Islamist Militias which is causing untold hardship to the Iraqi people. Full text at link.

Since yesterday, and the militia groups (Sadr and the Islamic Supreme Council) turned many cities of Iraq to battlefields and military barracks; and the atmosphere of terror has dominated the lives and livelihoods of people as if they needed more killings and crimes. This came after fighting erupted between supporters of the two groups in the city of Karbala (95 Km southwest of Baghdad) in a religious event.

These militias are not hesitant to commit heinous massacres against innocent people. Not too long ago, they killed hundreds of innocents after classifying them as Sunnis following Samara bombings, and today they open fire indiscriminately on people in the areas of worship to kill each other.

Let's unite our ranks around the banner of Iraq Freedom Congress and its slogans "No to the occupation ... No to the sectarian gangs." Let's form Safety Force to expel those gangs from your regions.
