Meet the man trying to bring Iraq back from the brink

On August 16, an Iraqi parliamentary report named Iraq’s former prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki, among dozens of officials responsible for the collapse of security forces and the fall of Mosul to Islamic State militants last summer. In his eight years as premier, corruption thrived and Maliki repeatedly purged the Iraqi security forces of those he suspected of disloyalty.

Iraqis now hope that Maliki and other officials will stand trial and be held to account for why militants were able to capture the northern city with so little resistance. (Maliki dismissed the parliamentary investigation as “worthless,” and he blamed Mosul’s fall on a conspiracy by Turkish and Kurdish leaders.)

At the same time, Maliki is poised to lose his ceremonial post as one of Iraq’s three vice presidents under a series of reforms that the current prime minister, Haider al-Abadi, is trying to enact. After weeks of popular protests in Baghdad and other cities against corruption and the government’s failure to provide basic services, Abadi sought to reform Iraq’s political system by eliminating several high-level positions, reigning in government spending and removing sectarian quotas in political appointments.

Most prominently, Abadi scrapped the posts of the three vice presidents and three deputy prime ministers. The positions were largely symbolic but included large budgets that allowed these officials to reward their supporters with patronage jobs. While several other politicians lost their positions, Abadi’s measures were intended to detach his rival Maliki from the power structure in Iraq.

But Maliki is a survivor, and it’s a mistake to count him out of Iraq’s intricate politics because he is losing his post as vice president and he faces a potential trial. Maliki still has a base of support among some Shi’ite factions and militias that view Abadi as weak and too eager to offer concessions to Iraq’s Sunni minority.

Since he was forced out of office last year, Maliki has become a champion of the mainly Shi’ite volunteers and militias that are leading the fight against Islamic State under the banner of “popular mobilization units.” Many of these volunteers answered a call to arms by Iraq’s top Shi’ite cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, urging all able-bodied Iraqi men to join the security forces and stop Islamic State’s advance after Mosul’s fall. Tens of thousands of Shi’ite volunteers showed up at recruiting centers to sign up for the Iraq security forces, or the militias.

Abadi has tried to overhaul the Iraqi military and security forces, which are under his control. Last year, he announced that an initial investigation had uncovered 55,000 “ghost soldiers” in the army — nonexistent troops who were on the government’s payroll and whose salaries were collected by corrupt officers. Abadi is now expanding his anti-corruption drive to eliminating patronage jobs and other perks provided to many government officials, including large security details.

But Abadi risks a backlash from other power centers in Iraq, including some of the Shi’ite parties connected to militias and within the ranks of his own Dawa Party, a Shi’ite Islamist group where Maliki still has strong support.

Even as Maliki tries to undermine him, Abadi needs to assure Iraq’s Sunnis that he will be able to reverse the legacy of his divisive and sectarian predecessor. Since Abadi took office last September, Sunni political leaders have made several demands: amnesty for tens of thousands of Sunnis imprisoned — in many cases without judicial review — by Maliki’s regime in the name of fighting terrorism; greater power in the new government; an end to aerial bombardment of Sunni towns; and a more significant role in the Iraqi security forces, which Maliki cleansed of many senior Sunni officers.

Abadi has responded to some of these demands, releasing prisoners and ordering an end to the Iraqi air force bombings of Sunni areas. But for the most part, the Shi’ite militias are outside his control. Many Sunnis cringe at the memories evoked by the reestablishment of Shi’ite militias. These groups carried out widespread kidnappings, torture and killing of Sunnis during the sectarian war that raged in Iraq from 2005 through 2008.

Many of the Shi’ite militias depend on Iran for weapons, funding and training. Since Islamic State militants swept through northern Iraq last year, Tehran has mobilized to protect the Shi’ite-led Iraqi government from the jihadist threat. General Qassim Suleimani, commander of the Quds Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, traveled to Baghdad at the start of the crisis to coordinate the defense of the capital with Iraqi politicians and military officials. Suleimani also directed Iranian-trained Shi’ite militias — including the Badr Brigade and the League of the Righteous, two notorious militias responsible for atrocities against Sunnis — in the fight against Islamic State.

When the United States invaded in 2003, Shi’ites made up nearly two-thirds of Iraq’s population of 25 million. But members of the Sunni minority had ruled Iraq since its independence in 1932. The Shi’ites had waited seven decades for their chance to rule, and it’s not surprising that they would consolidate power after the American invasion. But Maliki and other leaders manipulated a dysfunctional political system, put in place by the United States and the United Nations after 2003, to concentrate power and exclude Sunnis.

As Maliki struggled to remain in power, he became more dependent on Iran, which is the dominant external power in Iraq. Maliki was a reliable ally who allowed Iranian flights over Iraqi territory to transport weapons and manpower to Bashar Assad’s regime in Syria. Maliki also paved the way for thousands of Iraqi Shi’ites to cross the border and fight alongside the Syrian regime.

Abadi inherited this sectarian and dysfunctional political system. He must unify a fractured Iraq, by assuring Sunnis that the central government will protect their interests, while keeping rivals like Maliki in check. Abadi must also ensure that his predecessor stands trial for his corruption and the failures that helped empower Sunni extremists — and led to the catastrophe that has unfolded in Iraq.

After a month of the launch of the government's reforms package deputies from the bloc of Prime Minister revealed that the measures "was hasty," and it came because of pressure from the street and it needs to "rationing" So do not conflict with the Constitution and the laws in force.

And those actors also criticized the parliamentary paper which coincided with the reforms Abadi, arguing that the House of Representatives need to "reform from within" before you start wading in the controversial laws.

Despite the importance of the laws that Parliament intends to discuss the National Kahars and the law of amnesty, it is, according to Kurdish deputies, must take measures to break the stereotype formed by the public against him started.

This does not hide some political forces fear that the protests and reform measures Abadi to pay "play

The role of the three authorities, "at the same time. Warns of exclusivity and prejudice as the" constitution ", stressing that the infringement it will lead the country in a big mess.

After weeks of public support and support for reforms that packs issued by the Prime Minister, the political blocs began to raise their voices to intercept shy about "constitutionality" of these measures.

The House of Representatives recently listed National Guard law on the agenda, but the continuing political controversy over its provisions led to the lifting until further notice. And Baltazmn with Union forces that demanded the inclusion of a general amnesty law on the parliamentary agenda, as one of the terms "political paper" that emerged from the government-Abadi.

And it showed the three presidencies, during a meeting last week, support for the reforms a condition to be "in accordance with the constitution." She stressed the need to complete the presidencies of the National Guard and the Federal Court and national reconciliation laws, and stressed the need to go all the reforms are carried out in accordance with the Constitution and the law.

Observers expressed fear of some political blocs attempt to circumvent the government reforms under the pretext of abiding by the Constitution, and compatibility with the consensus.

Paper hasty reform

MP says Rubaie, a member of a coalition of state law, that "reforms Abadi prepared in haste and must codified accordance with the constitutional dimensions."

He said al-Rubaie (range), that "the Constitution is the only standard agreed upon by all the political blocs and the loss of this standard will pay into chaos."

And confirms a member of a coalition of state law that "some of the reforms launched by the government will need to change the laws and other window may conflict with the constitution."

And it urges al-Rubaie government to "expedite sending bills to parliament for legislation to move the process of reforms," ​​pointing out that "the reforms that may be in conflict with the Constitution can be modified but according to the policies included in the provisions of the Constitution and not through demonstrations or a military coup."

And it stresses the former adviser for national security that "Daash longer in the top priority of reform because it is a deadly disease must be combated rapidly," and expressed his belief that "corruption is a chronic disease in Iraq and needs time to deal with it." He says that the eradication of corruption need to be "a long time and the enactment of new laws."

Furthermore, al-Rubaie said paper reforms Parliament as "came hasty also because of the pressure of the street and the government to the House of Representatives", stressing that "Parliament needs to internal reforms to end a sagging career and strengthen its oversight role by talking about the implementation of the bills which appeared in his paper reformist".

Preoccupation with controversial laws

He returned the House of Representatives, last week, to discuss the National Guard Law, which is witnessing significant differences since put forward for discussion a few months ago.

Included parliamentary reforms several Kanhae appointments proxy in state institutions file issues including military positions, and provide candidates for the presidency of the Army Staff and his aides and who hold the title of division leader and up, the head of the National Intelligence Service to ratification to parliament within a period not to exceed 30 days. Parliamentary paper also provides for reference files of corruption, especially armament contracts and the sale and rental of state funds immediately to the judiciary, and to hold ministers for negligence.

In this context, the MP Hoshyar Abdullah, head of the Kurdish change, that is. "Laws to be discussed in the House of Representatives such as the general amnesty and the National Guard have importance in the Federal Court to end the differences between the components of Iraq and the achievement of social justice."

He said Abdullah, in an interview for the (long), that "parliamentary reforms should run concurrently and not separate," calling on Parliament to "take steps to strengthen the role and change the stereotype formed by the Iraqi street about that," pointing to the importance of "reducing disparities salaries with the rest of the staff are so Aazbb in the wrath of the public. "

Abadi three roles

On the other hand the head of the Kurdish change criticizes some reforms Abadi, and sees that the prime minister "acting like an owner of the three authorities." He added that "al-Abadi states and writes decisions on behalf of the people which is contrary to the Constitution, which gave this right to the parliament only," adding that "the House of Representatives is the only one authorized to issue laws on behalf of the people and Abadi his executive authority Vlasaleh out what he wants."

It is feared Kurdish lawmaker from some public protester lead to "make way for al-Abbadi of the uniqueness of power if it continues to rely upon alone, without taking into consideration the rest of the democratic institutions, and if the adult Abadi to ignore the role of the judicial and legislative authorities in the country, put himself as a savior."

But Hoshyar MP Abdullah is due to confirm by saying "We support all steps the Prime Minister, but we will not allow him to bypass a law or the Constitution and not fall into chaos will not rise beyond."

MP calls for Kurdish Prime Minister "not to ignore the partners and also taking into account the balance and harmony which is different from the quota system."

Abdullah draws that "al-Abadi himself as the head of government came to office as a result of consensual process."

Constitution and national cohesion

In the meantime defends Deputy for the National Coalition, led by Iyad Allawi, the constitution despite the objection of his bloc to paragraph 45 thereof.

MP says Abdul Karim Abtan (range) that he "can not be cancel or go beyond the Constitution under the pretext of reforms because the alternative would be chaos," adding that "national bloc supports the reforms but that are correct and Mmenhhh way."

And criticizes Abtan Messier reforms in one direction to cancel positions and reduce the advisers, as has been neglecting the repair of electrical system and the promotion of economic and agricultural unemployed reality.

On the other hand supports the MP for the National Coalition initiate the parliament to discuss the National Guard and the Federal Court Rules, expressing his belief that "the country is threatened by division and legislation such laws would woof."

Haider tempted Jarallah

 

   

The nature of the political changes and developments in the region to impose a reality new must keep pace in Iraq and deal with all the wisdom and intelligence, Accelerating the political and economic reforms, and even cultural, social, all of which are possible to defuse chaos incipient on the horizon, or at least limit the Gluaha and rein virulence and extremism, there is no room anymore in front of Mr. Abadi government which won a mandate is unprecedented that the lagging or flattering or seek to delay and delay and delay to gain time and to circumvent the basic elements which are essential in the project the great reform significant challenges and risks serious and continuing poor conditions unchanged turning a blind eye all symbols of corruption will have serious consequences for the present and future of Iraq in particular and the country fighting a battle of destiny requires mobilization of all energies and capabilities to defeat the ferocious criminal gangs, was one of the reasons they appear is corruption in all its forms and manifestations and headlines, Valmard which people may wake up from slumber and came out of the bottle and no longer served him all attempts at obfuscation and deception operations and hypnosis that was practiced against him using debt and for other means of deception and plundering its wealth.

The only option now before the Prime Minister, Mr. Haider al-Abadi is a rapid response and urgent demands expressed by many spectra of the Iraqi society, which demands can be met before they escalate in roofs and become incapacitating affect the foundations of the state, as has been happening in neighboring countries, reform is no longer a requirement only popular but has become a national necessity required by the best interests of the country, and does not understand the reform fight against corruption and the corrupt only and brought to justice, but must fix also focuses primarily base on the restoration system of moral values ​​of Iraqi society, which has been severely damaged due to many factors, class is corrupt is the product of the people and soldiered and regularly on her election every time and drives out to power or decision-making centers or delegated to take over administrative responsibilities, this is proof that there is a real problem in the system of moral values, and this is not Massa Iraqi people or detracting from it; it is an invitation to his class educated and influential in guiding and formulating decisions that take the initiative to urge people to adhere to the noble values ​​and stay away from harmful legacies underdeveloped vocabulary and corruption that prevailed by Blackout systematic operations practiced by some political and religious forces.

In front of Mr. Abadi, today these large files and serious challenges and is required to address them and to find effective solutions, it will be eligible to take responsibility and face all the symbols and the hotbeds of corruption and redress for segments of the Iraqi people and forces of the good demand for change to make him a date supervisor and distance himself from all impurity? Or that self-interest and political consensus will frustrate Hmmm man and determination

Supreme Council and the Dawa party denies knowledge of reforms team deputed by the Prime Minister to implement procedures which announced last August. The first expresses the fear of "mystery and secrecy" that surrounds the team reforms, the second does not pay any importance to it, attributing this to the mandate given by Parliament to Ebadi.

On the other hand does not hide the newborn, "the existence of the political dimension of choice," stressing that "the names that will be selected will be the nomination of ministers exclusively and will choose the prime minister the best candidates," pointing out that "the names of candidates will be presented for a vote on the Cabinet, which includes all the political blocs, then to a vote in the House of Representatives to turn to the counties officials in their positions in order to end the state of positions filled by proxy. "

Team  reformist

Speaks Fadi al-Shammari, a leader of the coalition of citizen, for "discreetly Abadi about the identity of the team in charge of reform and how to choose the names in their own positions."

He said al-Shammari, said in an interview with the (range), that "leaks about some of the names revealed the existence of Mahdi Keywords, who runs Abadi Office Agency, part of a committee of reform, in addition to Sami when a former agent of the Minister of Planning and one adviser to the prime minister, as well as Novell Abu Barns , Associate Abadi office, Kadhim al-Hassani economic adviser to Prime Minister ".

He continued leadership of the coalition citizen "The committee had been formed to reintegrate ministries and redistribute own positions," but he points out that it "has achieved nothing so far, because they do not have a clear vision or plan of action."

Shammari and striking fear into the mass of the National Alliance and the rest of the components of the "uncertainty surrounding the team Abadi and mechanisms work," and asserts that "secrecy will not help us and will not help the public to monitor the performance of al-Abadi."

A senior adviser to Ammar al-Hakim, head of the Islamic Supreme Council, said that "al-Abadi says attended two meetings of the National Alliance out of four were held in the last period and did not ask one of the Committee, because the meeting is usually talking about the broad lines without going into details."

Attempt to  penetrate the  team

And it confirms Shammari said "Closed Prime Minister on his side and that he did not receive, during the last period, any proposals from any party is his team," adding that "the Supreme Council aspires to deliver his reform agenda of the new which includes the transition from a welfare state to state maid."

And it includes the Supreme Council for the program, according to al-Shammari, a set of mechanisms to combat corruption, and rationalizing and reducing its government, functional and crew, dealing with idle factories to ensure that no shift workers to the unemployed, and to address the housing crisis in 10 years, as well as repair Alkmarki and the banking system, and the use of companies to consult a global well-known in the field of investment and reconstruction.

Among the most prominent features of the program, according to the leader of the coalition citizen, the formation of a Higher Council for the reconstruction of wide powers to rebuild the country and open up investment plans in accordance with the process, and be granted all the investment budget.

Supreme Council proposes the President of the National Congress, Ahmad Chalabi name as a candidate for this position to be directly linked to the Prime Minister.

Call for  reforms

For his part, says Jassim Mohammed Jaffer, MP from the Dawa Party, he said his party also does not know who is a team-Abadi. But he corrects saying "Dawa Party does not care to know the team Abadi, as long as the latter is primarily responsible for all of those measures."

He said Jafar, speaking for the (long), "The prime minister in one of the meetings of the party said that he had asked ministers to reduce the number of general managers and owners re-evaluate own positions."

The MP for the coalition of state law that "will reduce the number of ministries and directorates or cancel some of them in order to reduce the number of general managers who number more than four thousand people, according to estimates of the Finance Committee in the House of Representatives."

But the Turkmen deputy draws that "managers own name no more than 400 people," attributing the cause to "the existence of the rank of director positions, and it also applies to agents minister."

Abadi is trying to escape from the pressures of the reforms the dismissal of 123 responsible

 

Decision comes a day after one of the warning Saleem al-Jubouri, that patience was running out of Parliament because of delays in the implementation of the government's reform promises they have made.

The noose is getting tight

BAGHDAD - Iraqi Prime Minister relieved Haider al-Abadi 132 Undersecretary of the Ministry, and as general manager of the office, in the latest reform steps that suffer in order to be implemented to combat corruption and improve the performance of enterprises, according to a statement issued by his office Wednesday.

He pointed Elian, that these would be brought to retire "or adjust their status by administrative law in accordance with instructions issued by the General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers."

It did not specify the ministries included in the resolution, as it did not refer to the cancellation of these positions. And said that these measures come "in implementation of the package of reforms and move limbering procedures including raising the efficiency of the performance of state institutions."

Abadi recently began to take reform steps gradually, most notably the reduction of ministerial posts from 33 to 22, and reduce the elements of protection officials, however, excluded the former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki of the measure although the latter is facing charges to facilitate the fall of Mosul, however, the organization of the Islamic state and remittances from suspicious billion dollars to his calculations and his family own accounts in Swiss banks.

Despite the support of al-Sistani and popular demands, analysts say that any radical change in Iraq would be difficult due to the nature of the deep-rooted corruption in state institutions since the Nuri al-Maliki government, and parties take advantage of it, in addition to the complexities of the political and religious situation.

Iraqi cities of Baghdad and has seen weeks since the massive demonstrations demanding the fight against corruption and improve the level of public services, especially water and electricity.

The demands of the demonstrators dose received support from the Shiite authority in the August 7, calling Abadi to be more aggressive in the fight against corruption.

The government approved on the ninth of August, reform measures package, approved by parliament two days later, accompanied it with a series of additional measures, and pledged to Iraq's parliament speaker Salim al-Jubouri, then, to question the Minister suspects in corruption cases.

However, the same al-Jubouri returned Tuesday, waving to withdraw the mandate given to the prime minister Haider al-Abadi, because of the slow implementation of reforms.

It is likely, analysts, to be initiated to declare exempt Abadi 123 responsible, to escape from the enormous pressures, especially after the last position of the Jabouri which increased pressure on him doses and show the appearance of lagging in the implementation of the promises made by the same.

They said that away from this measure, which may not be seen inside Iraq as part of the treatment of Iraqi institution disease, Abadi move reflects the presence of a silent crisis with the parliament speaker.

The Jubouri had warned in a press conference held Tuesday in Baghdad, the parliament of the impatience of the slow pace of reforms launched by al-Abadi support of the Shiite authority in Najaf.

He has made it clear that the House of Representatives, may think to reconsider the issue of the authorization granted to the executive branch to complete those reforms. He said "the Iraqi street, did not touch any change reformist path."

The Jubouri had confirmed Monday that the parliament is keen to install reforms compass direction that serves the people, and that the path of reform, which was launched in Iraq, does not exclude the military and security devices.

Observers say, said Saleem al-Jubouri's comments, reflecting a large order to accelerate reforms, but the timing of the threat of the withdrawal of the full mandate given to Ebadi, the question raises a lot of points, especially as he has never directly criticized the government in this regard.

They noted that, it may be exposed is the same than the one that is exposed to undo some of the reforms launched by the private including those related to the prosecution of persons accused of corruption, including former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki Prime Minister items. Pressures

The Jubouri had accused al-Maliki, without named, led a campaign for his dismissal in order to cover up its failure in governance when he was prime minister.

According to some readings, that pressure led by al-Maliki the support of the influential Shiite parties and campaign described as the arms of Iran in Iraq, began a capacity to affect all of reforms Abadi support one way or another.
