Simply amazing dysfunctional..for all to see

So true. Kurds are, and have been, the whipping post for Iraq many years. GOI doesn't want to pay them, see them succeed or partner with them. But Baghdad wants their oil and expect Kurd military to join hands to defeat ISIS. It's a great distraction for all those fat cat GOI members who should be focused on rebuilding their country and recovery of billions stolen by Maliki and cronies that would benefit the average, poor citizens. If the Kurd are successful, watch the Sunni areas follow suit. What a mess Baghdad has gotten themselves in to. And what's their solution? Whip that post some more. <_<

Iraqi Parliament Demands Abadi Move Force to Disputed Areas

Iraqi Parliament Demands Abadi Move Force to Disputed Areas
 

 

ERBIL— In response to running the independence referendum in the Kurdistan Region and in the absence of Kurdish MPs, Iraqi House of Representatives on Monday issued three decisions against Kurdistan.

Today, concurrently with running the plebiscite in Kurdistan, the Iraqi lawmakers debated penalties and sanctions against the semi-autonomous region for holding the vote against Baghdad's wish.

 

The lawmakers have demanded Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi to deploy force to the areas covered by the constitutional Article 140, which were liberated from the Islamic State (IS) and are currently protected by Kurdistan Peshmerga forces.

 

Kurdistan Region's independence vote was also carried out in these areas, whose tenure is disputed between Erbil and Baghdad.

The Iraqi lawmakers also decided that the parliament should file a lawsuit in the Federal Court against Kurdish-born Iraqi President Fuad Masum "for violating constitutional Article 61," pertinent to the sovereignty of Iraq. The MPs will demand the court to oust Masum.

The border gates between Kurdistan and Iraq should also be closed down, the MPs have demanded.

Iraqi MP: parliament mulls arrests of Kurdistan secession advocates

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) An Iraqi parliament member said Monday that the chamber puts arrests of proponents of Kurdistan’s secession from Iraq as an option in dealing with the divisive referendum.

Hassan Khallati, a member of the Mowaten (citizen) parliamentary bloc, told Alsumaria News that a current referendum held by the autonomous Kurdistan Region violates a recent verdict by Iraq’s federal court which ordered to cancel the vote. He said that overrunning that verdict involves legal consequences.

He said penal measures are considered by a parliament committee formed by the parliament’s speaker to address the referendum, noting that one measure could be “approaching international bodies to arrest whoever endangers the country’s unity and sovereignty”.

Kurds headed to voting stations on Monday to partake in a plebiscite on independence from the central government in Baghdad, a move objected by the Arab-led government in Baghdad, the United Nations, the European Union, the United States and regional powers Iran and Turkey.

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has repeatedly vowed to take legal action if Erbil proceeded with the vote.

Kurdistan gained actual autonomous governance based on the 2005 constitution, but is still considered a part of Iraq. The region was created in 1970 based on an agreement with the Iraqi government, ending years of conflicts.

Baghdad and Erbil have for long disputed sovereignty over a number of regions, most notably the oil-rich province of Kirkuk, besides contending over petroleum exports’ revenues from those regions.

What a bunch of fools. The GOI that is. They've been dragging the election law along for months. The HCL and Article 140 enforcement, not implemented for years. The Kurds have a non-binding vote on succession and GOI wants to fire the president, send military to borders and arrest absentee Kurdish members of parliament. No mention of the 165 members that were elected that haven't shown up for years. Or parts of the constitution that are law but never implemented. And there sits Maliki, a cancer in the heart of the government and the country. He has to be thrilled about the distraction away from the destruction he brought on the country. Pathetic idiots. All of them.

"What ever is happening, ole Nouri al-Maliki is sure squealin'. Pretty sure this indicates ole Nouri al-Maliki is well aware of how precarious his situation is and he understands he will face justice for his Crimes Against Humanity. Obviously no love lost with Barzani, Abadi, Sadr, and a host of people in Iraq. "

I'm betting on SADR to end up fixing the Baghdad GOI. And in turn the new and improved GOI of technocrats pushing the Kurds to clean up their political train wreck  so Iraq can sign off on the HCL and resolve artical 140 once and for all! I think it's going to happen a lot faster then we all are fearing it take also. Another bump in the road to riches!!!

I agree, JCFrag! I think there are many, many parts in play - seen and unseen - in Iraq and what You mentioned could very well be the case! To me, Muqtada al-Sadr not in the news more about cleaning up corruption tells me there is something suspiciously going on with him. Hey, Muqtada al-Sadr coming out in the news again with full guns a blazin' to stamp out corruption may just be some sort of SURPRISE! or something.

 

Just thinking out loud here. I, for one, will just have to wait and see!
