Mass arrests, but will it last?

The list of names is long, but these sweeps usually feel more like political theater than real reform. Given how rare such raids are in the Green Zone, I can't help wondering if this is about rooting out corruption or just settling scores with rivals.

In my country, these raids happen just before elections. All for the cameras, then back to business.

Bro, it's always the same show. They catch the small fish and the big sharks swim away. Rinse and repeat.

Settling scores, 100%. I know a guy who got arrested after a business dispute with someone connected. Convenient, huh?

May Allah guide them to true justice. This dunya is temporary, but every deed is recorded.

Politics is all theater these days. Next week there'll be a new scandal and these names will be forgotten.

They raid the Green Zone and act like they've cleaned up everything. Please.
