Between 23:39 and 23:56 on 22 August, Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) posted four items from its "Qabl al-Ghad" programme carrying MP Salem al-Abbasawi on the PMF Authority. The channel asked in its own editorial voice why PMF headquarters were not evacuated before the strike despite early warnings, then carried al-Abbasawi saying Falih al-Fayyadh's media justification was insufficient and that he could be referred to the courts and not merely dismissed, that his non-attendance at parliament breaches the law and undermines state institutions, and that the wounded have not received their entitlements since 2014. The rung is credible: this is AAH's own official channel publishing the remarks in text and on-screen graphics across four items, and nothing in the collected material contradicts them; the underlying allegations about the Authority's administration are not independently established here, and the evidence does not identify al-Abbasawi's faction.

Pressure on the PMF Authority's chairman routed through the official media of one of its largest constituent factions is a fight over who administers the institution's money, warning systems and personnel files, not a policy debate.
