Movement of the Rebellious Iraqi People
A nationalist movement established in 1991 and led by Secretary-General Uday Hatim Al-Urs and Deputy Secretary-General Yasin Muzhir Al-Hasimi. In a "political statement" issued by the movement in Al-Basrah's "Al-Nahdah" in October 2003, the movement described itself as an independent political movement that is not affiliated with any foreign party. "Our objectives are to achieve the hopes of our great people in freedom, democracy, and equality and create an atmosphere of freedom, progress, prosperity, and happiness for the entire Iraqi people from north to south. We work with all the honorable national forces to build a free, strong, and independent Iraq. We are serious about drafting a constitution in harmony with the inherent beliefs of all the Iraqi people across the homeland," the statement read in part.
