Yesterday, Iraq lost one of the most important popular poets, Muzaffar al-Nawab, who is called the great poet. Muzaffar al-Nawab was known for belonging to the radical leftist revolutionary movement.
His poems were famous for his revolutionary expressions towards the Arab and Iraqi rulers. He also wrote many poems about the Palestinian cause. Iraqis’ love for Muzaffar, regardless of their political affiliations, cannot be described in words, because Muzaffar was not only a poet, but one of the fiercest fighters against the Baathist regime in Iraq, despite his torture and imprisonment, but he did not stop fighting this regime with his fiery words. Muzaffar al-Nawab passed away after a struggle with illness in the city of Sharjah in the Emirates.

Muzaffar Al-Nawab died after a struggle with illness in the city of Sharjah in the Emirates yesterday, but today, the Iraqi government decided to bring Muzaffar’s body and his funeral near the Writers’ Union, with the participation of Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi and a large number of officials, whom Muzaffar Al-Nawab has a radical stance towards them, which angered the public who loved Muzaffar Al-Nawab and angered them.
The processions of officials were stoned, and the funeral turned into a very strong demonstration against the oppressors.
Today, young “workers against sectarianism” and others have tried to keep state officials away from the body of Muzaffar al-Nawab, After the funeral, all the attendees headed to Tahrir Square to protest against the government and to revive the revolutionary spirit that Muzaffar al-Nawab had called for, chanting slogans such as: We who went out with Muzaffar al-Nawab, not the officials in the Green Zone. Muzaffarnazab is for the people, not thieves.
