It will not be the same after these protests in any case, so let them be aware of that ... This is what the Supreme Religious Authority said.

The Supreme Religious authority indicated - earlier - that evading the real reform by procrastination by those in power is an illusion, as it stressed that the matter will not be after these protests as it was in any case before.

These were the important points stated in the second sermon of Friday prayer of the 17th Rabi' Awwal 1441 AH corresponding to November 15, 2019, which was held in the Holy Shrine of Imam al-Hussayn (peace be upon him) and led by his eminence Sayed Ahmad al-Safi, in which he stated:

“It’s unprecedented that Iraqi citizens have protested in large numbers, remained in the streets for that long period of time, and sacrificed themselves and everything they had — it’s because they’ve found no way to get rid of the aggravated corruption and the rampant deterioration at all levels with the agreement of the ruling powers -from various components- to share the homeland's wealth among themselves and disregard each other's corruption, but to protest and insist on their demands; it’s a serious attempt to end the unbearable government’s corruption and policy, where ordinary citizens can’t have their basic needs to live a decent life, despite the abundant financial resources of the country.

If those in power think that they can evade the benefits of real reform by stalling and procrastination, they are delusional, as what comes after these protests will not be the same as before, and they should be aware of that.”
