After weeks of debates amongst #Tishreeni actors regarding attendance at the long-awaited planning meeting for the third anniversary of the Tishreen Revolution, the meeting finally took place on Friday in #Nasiriyah. 🧵1/6

This is the first time in which #RDG has seen disparate actors within the broader Tishreeni network function properly as a collective movement rather than several power centers that compete amongst themselves for primacy. 2/6

It is not an understatement to say that the meeting was the first time they sat together in one room and concretely planned activities based on a shared vision. 3/6

Based on decisions taken at the meeting, Oct 1 will be Tishreen #RemembranceDay, marked by a half-day vigil in #TahreerSq. However, more provocative Tishreenis will protest in #NisourSq & march towards #IZ, which will surely attract the attention of the Sadrists, gov, & SCF. 4/6

Though this is a remembrance event of ‘the’ #Tishreen Revolution – the movement has never been a monolithic, organized group. Its strength in 2019 was the exponential momentum that organically grew from the multitude of frustrations amongst a broad spectrum of #Iraq|i youth. 5/6

October 1st, 2022, in contrast, will be an organized, coordinated event – which #RDG believes is unlikely to have the same momentum that forced (eventual) political changes three years ago. 6/6 🧵
