The movement's own channel published, at midday on 18 August, that secretary-general and parliamentary security and defence committee member Jawad Rahim al-Saadi met army chief of staff Abdul Amir Rashid Yarallah, with MP Ahmad Kayin present, to discuss the security situation and strengthening coordination between the committee and the army general staff. Half an hour earlier Al-Janoub TV (Harakat al-Jihad wal-Bina — official) carried a segment headlined that al-Yasiri urges the factions to integrate with the security forces. The supplied evidence does not identify al-Yasiri's affiliation, so he is reported without one.
