In its report, NRT Arabia highlights the most prominent reasons that local, Arab and international media outlets have been discussing over the past few hours on the reasons for withdrawal:

Electoral reasons

A spokesman for the political bureau of the Sadikoun bloc of the Asaib Ahl al-Haq party, Mahmoud al-Rubaie, said that the reasons for the withdrawal were "electoral, not political" following the adoption of the 1.7 electoral law, the reduction of the number of seats, .

Accusations of corrupt 
MP said in parliament for "honest", Hassan Salem, said that the alliance of al - Abadi attracted accused of corruption figures, and can not continue the alliance with him, and denied close to Abadi , a political source, to be "Abadi agreement with the crowd, you may include any line Red on the accession of any political forces want to enter the coalition. "

"We had hoped that the crowd would remain in the alliance of victory, and each of us needs the other," said Salah al-Arabawi, a leader of the al-Hakamah movement. He added that "power and power need to be wise," in reference, that the entry of the stream of al-Hakim in the alliance victory, blew up the agreement Abadi with the crowd.

Arab NRT sources say that the withdrawal of the popular crowd from the Abadi coalition is a prelude to the withdrawal of other parties, after joining it, led by the party "institutes" led by the head of the Sunni Endowment Abdullatif al-Humim and "independent bloc" led by Hussein al-Shahristani.

Political confusion: 
Observers believe that the lack of clarity of the map of electoral alliances, lies in the reason that "the date of elections has not been officially approved by the parliament so far and did not deal seriously with this important parliamentary," while pointing out that "the Electoral Commission did not take their times into account the case The uncertainty that prevailed and is still around the date of the elections. " 
Recent bombings 
Shi'ite sources , including the Lebanese daily news of Hezbollah , said that there is a fine line that combines the bombings of Baghdad on Monday , and withdrawals from the list of al - Abadi, there are those who say that some regional powers provoked a scene , "Nasr Iraq alliance" continuous inflation of Iranian influence in this country, was The response was provocative and bloody among the workers, according to political sources told the newspaper.


Other Iranian sources reported that the formation of the alliance was mainly an Iranian attempt to burn the paper Abadi in the absence of "logical interpretations" of this move, which brought together factions of the crowd and calculated on the Iranian influence with Prime Minister Haider Abadi, known for openness to the Americans and Saudi Arabia, From the night before the expiry of the registration period of the entities.

The alliance with Hakim and Sadr 
political sources involved in the negotiation has made it clear to Arab and international newspapers that the new coalition, which was announced with the formation of Abbadi could not tolerate the accession of other parties, which was reported to Abadi, because this would distract the votes and lead to fragmentation, adding that the parties that Agreed to this alliance was surprised after the signing by Abadi to hold an alliance with Ammar al-Hakim held the process, because the accession of the stream of wisdom and news Abadi continue with the leader of the Sadrist movement to join his alliance, "reflected the mood of the leaders of the popular crowd in an attempt to add competitors to the voices of the Shiite component.

Maliki alliance 
After the announcement of the alliance "Al-Fath" out of the alliance of Abadi, some sources are talking about his intention to join the compound of his former ally, the head of the coalition, "state law," Nuri al-Maliki, something excluded by observers in light of the state of anxiety and instability, which covers the issue of alliances.

For his part, the leader of Badr Karim Nuri denied the existence of any scenario in this regard.

International pressures 
Other political sources mentioned that an international party, however, offered to Abadi tips that his alliance "must bring together several forces from all components of Iraq, and that this alliance may devote sectarianism, making it difficult for him in the future, and that he must form a transient coalition of sectarianism to be acceptable in a second term For the prime minister, and that this alliance may push the other blocs to line up against him. "

Charges of corruption 
Forces under the crowd's tent objected to figures accused of corruption entered into the new alliance, and its breadth exceeded the limit. Where the number of political entities, which joined the "Alliance of Victory", exceeded the 30 political blocs between Shiite and Sunni forces and ministers and deputies.

Pressure and campaigns 
For months, Abbadi regularly criticizes the leaders of the popular mobilization, accusing them of "stealing the strength of ordinary fighters and his election." The announcement of joining the alliance with them came under criticism in the means of communication and media platforms, which led Abadi to retreat, where he feared that the wave of criticism and ridicule from this alliance to a popular decision against him, vote for his opponents and Maliki in the forefront, or boycott the elections.

U.S., Iraqi forces bracing for possible violence, ahead of key elections

 

American military advisers in Iraq are working closely with national counterterrorism and local police forces to prevent the Islamic State terror group or other extremist entities from disrupting key parliamentary elections, scheduled for later this year.

Officials from the U.S.-led military coalition in Iraq are moving ahead on efforts “to ensure the [security] conditions are set” for the May elections, Marine Corps Brig. Gen. James Glynn told reporters at the Pentagon Tuesday.

In the weeks ahead of the parliamentary elections — the first national elections since ISIS was driven out of its northern Iraqi stronghold of Mosul — senior U.S. advisers and their counterparts in the Iraqi Security Forces have been drilling into “things that need to be done now” to guarantee the safety of the hundreds of thousands Iraqis expected to head to the polls, he said during a briefing from coalition headquarters in Baghdad.

 

Gen. Glynn, who is second in command for Special Operations Joint Task Force — Operation Inherent Resolve, declined to comment on what specific measures will be taken in the run-up to the May elections, or what efforts are already underway, to prevent any potential terror attacks against national polling centers or government institutions in the nation’s capital.

His comments come a day after Baghdad was rocked by a pair of massive suicide bombs leaving 26 dead and over 90 injured, according to local reports.

ISIS claimed responsibility for Monday’s early morning attack, which targeted the city’s bustling al-Tayaran Square, saying the bombings were the beginning of a so-called “vengeance” campaign by the jihadi group against Iraq’s central government.

 

Speaker of the Iraqi Parliament Salim al-Jabouri condemned Monday’s attack and urged Iraqi security forces to do more to ensure the safety of the country’s citizens.

“We condemn the terrorist acts that targeted innocent people in the Iraqi capital Baghdad, and we call on security bodies to take required measures to protect citizens,” he told members of parliament Monday.

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi mobilized the country’s counterterrorism and intelligence directorates to begin hunting down the ISIS cell responsible for the al-Tayaran Square attack, according to local reports.

Mr. Abadi’s coalition government is facing mounting public pressure to improve security conditions in a post-ISIS Iraq. His regime is also under political siege by a new Shia political group led by the heads of the country’s Iranian-backed militias.

The new Iraqi political faction, dubbed the Mujahedeen Coalition, includes representatives from the Shia-led Badr Organization, Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq — also known as the Khazali Network — Kata’ib Hezbollah and other Shia militias that battled ISIS under the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) banner.

The new Shia political faction could seize a sizable portion of the Iraqi parliament, forcing Mr. Abadi into a power sharing deal with the militia leaders or risk his ruling party being unseated by the upstart Shia coalition.
