Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, leader of the Islamic Dawa party, has turned the table on party secretary and vice-president Nuri al-Maliki, the newspaper al-Sharq al-Awsat reported in a report published on Monday. 

The newspaper said that "hours after the settlement is perhaps the hardest in the history of the Dawa Party, the prime minister and leading party leader, Haider Abadi, turned the table on the party leader and head of the coalition of state law, Nuri al-Maliki, when he decided his choice of coalition with the coalition of the conquest, Popular and a number of political parties and entities'.

Al-Abadi issued a statement late in the evening, saying: 'I declare to the people of my people in all its spectrum and components under the banner of one Iraq to form a coalition (victory) cross-sectarianism and discrimination and discrimination, and invite the faithful and political entities to join our new national coalition.' 

The newspaper pointed out that 'hours after the declaration of Abadi, announced the stream of wisdom led by Ammar al-Hakim joining the alliance, which varied positions and views on the nature, both on the part of Abadi and with him from the Dawa Party and other political entities, or the crowd, which includes different factions have views and positions on how to ensure The Shiite arena in the light of the multiplicity of partners'. 

In the midst of these alliances, the leader of the Sadrist movement, Moqtada al-Sadr, condemned yesterday the entry of Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi in an electoral alliance with the popular crowd in the name of the victory of Iraq.

Al-Sadr said in a statement: 'I give my people the steadfast resistance to the abhorrent political agreements of abhorrent sectarian subjugation, to pave the way for the return of the corrupt people again, and we were offered admission, and we categorically rejected it.' We thought it was the first advocates of patriotism and advocates of reform ', stressing that' will only support the lists of cross-quotas and distanced from partisan and sectarian strife '. 

The newspaper quoted an unnamed Iraqi politician as saying that 'joining the stream of wisdom to this alliance may strengthen the position of Abadi in terms of guaranteeing the second mandate, which does not compete with it, and may constitute the egg Alkban if there were competitors from within the forces of the crowd for this position.'

He pointed out that 'the leader of the Badr Organization, Hadi al-Amiri, who may aspire to get the post of prime minister for the next session, despite the difficulty of that American and even Iranian, because all indicators say: Iran is supportive of Abadi, and may have encouraged the forces of the crowd to coalition with him, Which puts Maliki in a difficult position and puts the Dawa Party in the confusion of speculation on the difficulty of choice between Maliki and Abadi in the central and southern provinces with a Shiite majority. 

The Iraqi politician went on saying that 'this does not mean that the road is full of roses for Abadi, he may lose the second mandate because he does not have so far the regulatory base that strongly supports him, especially under the shroud (invitation) between him and Maliki', pointing out that ' Benefit from this situation resorted to a kind of emotional escalation in the Shiite center in order to circumvent it.

"This coalition will be an open door for the joining of new blocs and parties because of the fact that it will be popular in the central and southern regions, and the competition will be very clear in the upcoming elections," the paper quoted the spokesman of 'Asaib Ahl al-Haq, Naim al-Aboudi, as saying. 

He added that 'this coalition will be a step in the radical changes in the political process, but must be preceded by serious steps', indicating that 'what we seek is to cancel the quota, and will be all under the roof of the Constitution and the law'. 

In turn, does not deny a member of the political bureau of the movement 'Asaib Ahl al-Haq' Laith al-Athari according to the Middle East 'Iranian, American, Turkish and Gulf influence on the nature of electoral alliances in Iraq, but he believes that the political interest of the two sides of the coalition is the one who pushed the alliance Abadi - Amiri and the rest of the parties to the forefront' .

He said that 'there are not many options for Haider Abadi after the announcement of his withdrawal from the rule of law, as well as the options of the alliance (conquest) few, so they decided to serve the Alliance for their common interests,' echoing 'interests are the basis of each alliance, there is no room to talk about the dictates of this party or That, whether Iranian or otherwise. " 


The newspaper quoted a professor of media at the University of Karbala Ghaleb al-Da'idi that "the alliance (victory of Iraq) comes under the auspices of Iran and clear after the meeting of the current mentioned with the Iranian leader Qassem Soleimani. In reference to the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Qasim Soleimani, who was reported to be in Baghdad these days'.

"The entry of Abadi in this alliance is risky because it will be subject to negotiations after the elections, and will be in the same error that occurred when his predecessor, Nuri al-Maliki after the end of the first mandate when he allied with the parties won the votes because it joined the list when he had popular support large, 'Those forces abandoned later al-Maliki because it is forced under the influence of Iranian influence on each other, and the impact of American influence on others, and consequently lost the third mandate when he repeated his alliance with them.' 

The newspaper concluded with pessimism in the words of political science professor at the University of Kufa Iyad al-Anbar, which includes that 'Abbadi is no longer a bet to achieve political reform, his alliance with the forces of popular mobilization contradicts his positions, which refused to participate in the political process,' the newspaper reported.

Iran dominates Iraqi politics after unholy marriage between Abadi, IMIS

January 15 2018 04:50 PM
Haider al-Abadi and Ali Khamenei
Haider al-Abadi and Ali Khamenei

 

 

In an attempt to secure more dominance over Iraq’s political system, Iran has succeeded in exacerbating divisions among Shia political parties after Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi announced Sunday he allied with a powerful Shia group close to Iran in his stand for re-election in the coming national elections slated for May 12.
Abadi's "al-Naser Alliance," or Victory, and "al-Fatah Alliance," or Conquest, headed by Hadi al-Ameri, leader of powerful Shia party Badr Organization, have signed an electoral pact.
According to observers, both alliances, the one led by the Iranian Militias in Iraq and Syria (IMIS) and the one spearheaded by Abadi, seek mutual benefit and a win-win result in the upcoming election.  

Image1_1201815164228896532636.png

Former prime minister Nouri al-Maliki prematurely is out of the race due to the decline in his popularity in southern governorates and reservations other Shia parties have about him, they added. 
Abadi chose to seek re-election in a separate coalition away from Maliki who holds the mainly ceremonial post of vice president as well as maintaining his post as head of Islamic Dawa Party.
Maliki will also run in the coming elections in a separate coalition named State of Law.
Observer say the pact also alienated Muqtada al-Sadr, an influential Shia cleric with a large following among Iraq’s urban poor who two years ago led demonstrations against the corruption eating away at Iraq’s oil revenues.
“I am stunned to see the course taken by brother Abadi, who we had thought to be a leading advocate of reform,” said a statement from Sadr, one of a few Iraqi Shia leaders who keep Iran at arm’s length.

 

Image1_1201815164336235932192.png

This comes as well-informed sources said the electoral pact has been reached with the blessing of Iran and Qassem Suleimani, commander of the Qods Force, the elite branch of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Under the pact, Abadi shall secure a second term while IMIS leaders will hold high-ranking  positions in the new government, they noted.     
The prime minister will pledge to support the Shia militias and all its factions. He will also ensure that the militias are neither under the umbrella of the Ministry of Defense nor the Ministry of Interior, they added. 
Meanwhile, Hussein al-Waeli, a political analyst, said the Abadi-IMIS electoral pact has been expected, adding that it reveals a radical change in the prime minister’s stances, reflected in his speeches and statements, in which he used to talk about a civil state and the importance of limiting arms use to the state. 
The political understanding between the two parties will yield new agreements related to IMIS’ weapons and forces, he noted.
Also, the new pact will consolidate political sectarianism and instill fear in the hearts of Sunnis and Kurds, he further stated, stressing that the new parliament will be religious and military in nature where Iran will have a greater influence compared with the current parliament.    

It is expected that the US has failed to convince Abadi to forge an alliance with civil and Sunni political parties, the analyst said, speculating that the prime minister would not adopt his slightly balanced policy if he won a second term.     
Many Iraqi MPs have voiced concern over the new Abadi-IMIS electoral pact. Shrouq al-Abaiji, a leader in the Iraqi Civil Movement, said citizens were disappointed as they were expecting a civil, national and cross-sectarian alliance, but Abadi’s was shocking.  
Iraqis now believe that change is impossible after a sectarian and Iranian-allied militia will have a representation in parliament and control the political landscape in the country, she added.    

 

Image1_1201815164813145244229.png

Observers’ remarks have been also echoed by political analyst Hashim al-Hashimi said the Shia political establishment in Iraq is now protected and administered by Suleimani, in reference to Iran and its insidious and covert role in the Iraq’s politics. 
In Iraq, the prime minister’s office is reserved for the Shia Arabs under a power-sharing system set up after the 2003 US-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein, a Sunni Arab.
The largely ceremonial office of president is reserved for a Kurdish member of parliament. The speaker of parliament is drawn from Sunni Arab MPs.
Iran has guaranteed to hold sway over Iraq’s political landscape over the next four years. This will pave the way for the Mullah regime to dominate other Iraqi sectors, observers told The Baghdad Post. 
The decision making will be totally hijacked by Tehran. Iraqis has fallen victims to a dirty political game which its masterminds will seek to suck the country’s wealth in years to come, they concluded.

"The coalition does not intend to enter into any other alliance, not out of stubbornness, but in order to find a correct approach to work, and does not want to get lost in the subject of alliances as others do," the newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat reported in a report . 

 The source added, "Abadi is very excited to cooperate with us, but we reject it. His credibility with us has deteriorated, and we can not guarantee that his withdrawal from the mobilization groups will be a phased tactic and then join them later . "

Abadi's ambitions shatter as warring Shias withdraw from his Coalition

Abadi's ambitions shatter as warring Shias withdraw from his Coalition
Abadi's ambitions shatter as warring Shias withdraw from his Coalition

 

 

The Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi's Victory Coalition is currently threatened to be dismantled as warring Shia political and arming factions within the coalition are withdrawing or threatening Abadi to withdraw.

This came after the Iranian-backed Badr and Asaib Ahl al-Haq (AAH) militias have withdrawn from Abadi's Victory and Reform Coalition, well-informed sources said.

These militias called for working according to sectarian quotas but Abadi refused their calls, the sources added.

Observers told The Baghdad Post that the Victory Coalition also suffers another internal struggle as its top leaders Abadi and the prominent IMIS leader Hadi al-Ameri are having a major dispute about who will be number one on the coalition's electoral list.

They asserted that Ameri has set a condition for Abadi to not include any members from the Wisdom or Sadrist movements, stressing that Abadi's negotiations with both of them have cause Ameri to distrust Abadi.

They further stated that Sadrist Movement leader Muqtada al-Sadr's attack against Abadi's coalition came as a major blow to the incumbent PM as any legitimate political movement rely on Sadr's credibility and his popularity to gain popular votes in any elections.

This came when Sadr slammed Abadi's electoral coalition which is due to include Iran-allied IMIS. He also voiced concern over the sectarian coalitions which will allow corrupt officials to resurface.

Abadi also faces another challenge as National Wisdom Movement (NWM) refuses to include Sadrist Movement to the Victory Coalition.

"We would have been pleased if the Sadrist Movement had joined the coalition. But it has a different viewpoint and we respect it," Baleegh Abu Kalal, a member of NWM’s political bureau noted.

National Wisdom Movement, headed by Ammar al-Hakim, also declared it mulls withdrawing from the Abadi-led electoral coalition.

"We are seriously mulling a decision to pull out of Abadi coalition," a source who asked to remain anonymous said.

This came as NWM say that it put three conditions to Abadi's for his coalition to succeed. It said that these conditions were to include politicians from all Iraq's components, whether they are Shias, Sunnis or Kurds, the coalition's main aim is to rebuild Iraq and the last condition is that decision making must be unanimous. It noted that these conditions were not met.

Analysts told The Baghdad Post that Abadi's Coalition will likely be dismantled, especially after Fateh Coalition, made up of IMIS militias, and State of the Law Coalition led by Nouri al-Maliki have united under one coalition for the coming legislative elections.

Abadi’s Electoral Coalition Nipped in the Bud
 

ERBIL — The electoral coalition Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi had announced on Sunday with Iranian-backed militia group of Hashd al-Shaabi, is now dissolved after a day only.

Hadi al-Ameri, leader of Badir Brigade (a militia group operating under the umbrella of Hashd al-Shaabi), withdrew from Abadi’s Victory Alliance after Ammar al-Hakim, another influential Shi’ite cleric, joined the coalition on Monday.

A source close to the premier told AFP that Ameri’s faction was removed from the list and not withdrawn. “The removal from the list of certain groups (led by the Hashd) is due to the fact that they could not comply with the conditions that the prime minister had sought,” he claimed.

However, another source told Iraqi media outlets that Ameri had previously warned Abadi that his faction would retreat from the electoral alliance if Ammar al-Hakim or Muqtada al-Sadr — another powerful Shi’ite cleric and leader of Sadrist Movement — ever joined them.

Unconfirmed reports said that Ameri is now in talks with Abadi’s political rival, Nouri al-Maliki, to form a separate alliance.

The crowd leaves the "alliance of victory" .. And the conditions of Sadr abort attempts to bring Abadi closer



 Baghdad / Wael Ne'ma 
 

The "coalition of victory", led by Prime Minister Haider Abadi, to a violent shake 24 hours after the announcement of its formation, after the withdrawal of all components of the "Alliance of conquest" led by the leader of the Badr Organization Hadi Amiri and his allies. 
Several reasons have led to the dissolution of the coalition, most notably the opposition of the forces of the crowd to the figures accused of corruption entered into the new alliance, and the extent of the excessively reasonable. The number of political entities, which joined the "victory alliance", exceeded the 30-year political barrier between Shiite and Sunni forces, ministers and deputies. As of the writing of the report, the choice of the Fatah alliance seems to be heading for elections alone and not joining new alliances. 
Abadi's alliance appeared publicly two days after the Electoral Commission closed the registration of alliances. UNHCR has not yet decided on the legality of the victory alliance.

 

At the same time, the Dawa Party may have to back down from its recent decision not to run in the elections to get rid of a legal stalemate that threatens to deprive its members who want to run out of seats or resign from the party. 
And announced on Sunday, the alliance (Nasr Iraq) between Abadi and Amiri, after rounds of negotiations, and differences on the number one on the list. The Prime Minister has announced, on Saturday, the formation of a coalition of victory, calling on political entities to "join the National Coalition Trans-sectarianism."


A wave of withdrawals 
did not break hours yesterday morning, until some of the forces of the crowd announced the suspension of their participation in the alliance of slaves, and opened Faleh al-Khazali, a member of the mass of victors (Ktayab Sayed martyrs) within the Fatah alliance, the campaign of withdrawals. 
"We do not allow ourselves to be part of the corruption system and the rotation of some of the personalities that have harmed Iraq," said Khazali, a deputy in the parliament, in a statement read to him. "We are looking for the best for Iraq." 
Hours after the statement, MP Iskandar Tutt, head of the Loyalty and Change bloc allied with Fatah, said he had decided to withdraw from the alliance with Abadi and stay in the coalition led by Hadi al-Amiri. "Our project is clear to fight corruption and sectarianism, and we have not found this goal in the alliance with the prime minister," he said, without elaborating. But he stressed that "all the forces of conquest, consisting of 18 form, decided to withdraw."
Al-Fath Al-Mubain has 9 forces from the popular crowd, recently announced its disengagement from the military wings in preparation for the elections, in addition to 9 other groups joined later, most notably the Islamic Supreme Council. 
For his part, Mahmoud al-Rubaie, a spokesman for the political bureau of Asaib Ahl al-Haq, said in a statement to (the extent), that "the Fatah alliance decided to withdraw also from the alliance with Abadi, but we will remain supporters of him." Al-Rubaie confirmed that his bloc withdrew because of "the size of the participants in the coalition that does not meet our ambition." 
Al-Rubaie told "Al-Mada" on Sunday that his party "welcomes any party that joins the Al-Nasr coalition as long as it is far from corruption and does not have a negative attitude towards the war against Da'ash." 
The al-Hakama bloc, led by Ammar al-Hakim, was the last to join the Al-Nasr alliance, announcing its merger with the Abadi coalition late on Sunday. 
The leaks were talking about the possibility of joining the alliance ("Suron towards victory), backed by the Sadrist movement, before attacking the current leader Moqtada al-Sadr, the recent coalition and refuses to support
MP Rahim al-Darraji, a member of the Fatah Alliance and one of the withdrawal from the prime minister's coalition, said that "the alliance of victory included many contradictory and overstretched blocs." He said Daraji, in a statement to (the extent) yesterday, that "there are blocks and personalities undesirable joined the coalition, some of them have files of questioning in Parliament and accused of corruption." He said that "joining the victory alliance has become without controls and without meaning." 
"The Fatah alliance will not participate with other coalitions, and will run alone," he said.

The leaks, a source close to the Prime Minister, considered that the withdrawal of the forces of "conquest" came because of the conditions of the latter, which rejects "the method of quotas and the selection of efficient personalities and support the actions taken against the corrupt."


Negotiations with Sadr 
In parallel, negotiations conducted by the delegates of Abadi failed with the leader of the Sadrist movement. Informed sources said that Sadr required to join the alliance Abadi, "the signing of a document declaring not to alliances later with other parties or parties of the forces of the crowd." 
The announcement of the "victory alliance" at an uncertain time, after the closure of the Electoral Commission to register alliances, and refused to extend the legal deadline that ended last Thursday. 
But Nema al-Moussawi, a member of the Electoral Commission, confirmed that "deciding the legality of the victory alliance will be considered after the application is submitted." He added, in a statement to (range) yesterday, that "the Board of Commissioners will meet today to study all alliances, and the time of submission to the Commission." 
Experts on the elections considered that the registration of the Commission to the "victory alliance" despite the closure of the registration, will be the first electoral violation in the 2018 ballot.


Predicament call for 
his part , the legal expert Jamal al - Asadi stressed that " the alliance announced by Prime Minister Haider al - Abadi legal, because it is registered earlier in the name of Hassoun al - Rubaie." 
"The Commission allowed individuals or parties to participate in elections and alliance with other entities," Al-Asadi said in a statement. "The entry of people and parties in the registered coalition does not affect his legal status." 
The process of joining candidates will continue until the end of official working hours on February 10, according to the decision of the Electoral Commission. But al-Asadi referred to a new legal breach, which concerns members of the Dawa party who intend to run in the elections, after the party's decision not to participate.
"Article 4 of the Parties Law No. 36 of 2015 states that" No citizen may belong to more than one political party at the same time, "the legal expert said." Members of the Dawa Party can not contest the elections in another entity, In which the call ". 
The legal expert believes that "there is a solution of two, either that party members submit mass resignations, or back down the call for his decision not to run in the elections." "There is a second violation, concerning the illegal registration of the State of Law coalition in the Commission as a disqualified entity since the 2014 elections."
"Article 23 (a) and (b) of the system of ratification of political entities and coalitions in the Commission states that (a coalition of political entities can not be registered on behalf of a dissolved coalition participating in the previous elections other than the entities registered in it. The registration of a coalition that participated in the previous elections with the same name must be submitted by the absolute majority (half + 1) of the entities formed for it at least) ". 
On the basis of this, the legal expert believes that "Maliki's coalition is not legal, or must recognize half plus one of the problems of the coalition in 2004 that they are within the coalition."

Much Appreciated Yota for all you bring to DV, this investment is riding on a teeter totter depending on who wins the elections. But either way you know the question has always been will we make any money. I recently watch the 2 part documentary on Chain of Command, the displacement of people, the destruction of there country and Mosul is a large pile of ruble, there not on there feet yet not even close,  this is only the beginning. War torn country like this,  it needs a lot of help, infrastructure is a most getting some control on some of these top officials in corruption, making sure the money goes where it needs to rebuild is a process in its own. I do hope that someday in the future that these people can come together somehow and make it work. Don't get me wrong I am not giving up, but in my opinion I am calling it as I see it, they have a ways to go and they need help. Let the negs begin

Bad day at Black Rock - my tummy is getting all squirty - if they don't RV Prior to the elections, no telling WHAT could happen AFTER the elections.

What a FUBAR state of affairs. If they can't get out of their own way, they're liable to step on their own Pee Pee and send it all spiraling out out control.
