AAH's channel runs forty-minute broadside at PMF chief Fayyad

WHAT HAPPENED

Between 21:49 and 22:30 on 22 August, Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) posted five segments from its programme "Siyasi al-Ab'ad" carrying MP Safaa al-Jabri and Rahim al-Aboudi attacking Falih al-Fayyad by name over his refusal to appear before Parliament, his handling of a reported shelling of the Hashd, and his conversion of the Hashd into "a political institution." Al-Jabri said Fayyad had "lost the confrontation," violated legal procedures and military norms, and that Parliament would take escalatory measures, possibly repeating the removal of the Investment Authority chief. The rung is credible: five separate posts from the faction's own official channel, consistent in line and speakers, with nothing in the collected window contradicting them; what is missing is any response from Fayyad or the PMF, whose channels show no messages in this window.

WHY IT MATTERS

The chairmanship of the PMF and the passage of the PMF law are being argued on a faction channel rather than through the institution, and one faction is publicly claiming the accountability ground over the body's own leadership.
