A screenshot of an account allegedly belonging to former MP Faiq Al Sheikh Ali was circulated on social media, containing a group of photos of Iraqi figures accompanied by inappropriate language.

#The_truth
The account is fake and does not belong to former MP Faiq Al Sheikh Ali. When reviewing the “Page Transparency” it became clear that the page’s name had been changed more than once. On December 1, 2023, the page’s name was (Um Ali Al Mulla), and then on August 20, 2024, they changed the name to (Diary of an Iraqi Officer), and then they assumed the name of the Iraqi politician (Faiq Al Sheikh Ali), so that the page would appear in this form and delude many people that the page belongs to Sheikh Ali.
In addition, Sheikh Ali noted in 2022 that he does not have any account other than his account on the X platform (formerly Twitter), where he stated:
"I have repeatedly announced that I do not have any page or any account on social media, except for my one million follower account on Twitter."
For his part, the media figure (Majid Saleem) shared a post on his Facebook account on January 20, 2025, after the fake account's post included a picture of Saleem, in which he denied that the page belongs to Sheikh Ali, saying:
"Of course, this has nothing to do with the esteemed Faiq Al Sheikh Ali. This is political defamation that prevents us from telling the truth and exposing the corrupt and thieves of the people."
We also note that the account that criticized Sheikh Ali's post also impersonated the name of the Iraqi political analyst (Ghaleb AlShabandar), and not the official one, as the account description shows the word (parody), which means in Arabic (satirical imitation). For his part, AlShabandar shared a post on the X platform in May 2023, in which he stated:
"My brothers and sisters, this is my only page on Twitter, I do not have another page."
Who is Faiq Al Sheikh Ali?
