  1. Indonesia to buy French warplanes as Paris boosts Asia alliances 10/02/2022 - 08:26 Jakarta (AFP) – Indonesia signed a deal with France on Thursday to buy six Rafale warplanes as part of an anticipated total order of 42, as Paris bolsters military ties in the Asia-Pacific. The agreement was announced as Indonesian Defence Minister Prabowo Subianto met his French counterpart Florence Parly in Jakarta. "We agreed on the purchase of 42 Rafale. The contract signed today is for the first six, which will be followed by 36 others," said Subianto. It is the latest sign of warming ties between Jakarta and Paris, as France rethinks its alliances in the region following the collapse in September of a multibillion-dollar Australian submarine deal. Paris was left furious by the debacle, saying it had been given no warning that Canberra was negotiating a new defence pact with the United States and Britain. Australia is now obtaining nuclear-powered submarines as part of the new defence alliance, named AUKUS, with Washington and London to counter a rising China. In November, France and Indonesia strengthened a strategic partnership agreement during a two-day visit by French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian to the vast Southeast Asian archipelago. Indonesia's first order for French warplanes comes as Jakarta replaces an ageing fleet -- consisting mainly of American F-16s and Russian Sukhois -- as concerns grow about rising US-China tensions in Asia. 'Technical excellence' In Jakarta, Parly told reporters that Indonesia had chosen a warplane known for its "technical excellence", which had demonstrated its "operational capabilities on numerous occasions". Indonesia is also reportedly in negotiations to buy about 30 American F-15s, and is participating in a South Korean programme to develop a warplane. Since the Australian submarine deal collapsed, France has been bolstering ties with long-time partners including Japan and India, as well as turning to Southeast Asian nations such as Indonesia. Indonesia is one of several Asian countries that expressed concerns about the AUKUS pact, with Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi warning it could trigger a nuclear arms race in the region. The Dassault Aviation Rafale aircraft, which entered service in 2004, has proved popular in the international market despite competition from American and other European manufacturers. The United Arab Emirates signed the biggest ever order for the jets in December, with a deal to buy 80 for 14 billion euros. Other foreign clients include Qatar, India, Egypt, Greece and Croatia. link : https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20220210-indonesia-to-buy-french-warplanes-as-paris-boosts-asia-alliances
  2. Indonesia to buy 42 Rafale jets as it boosts ties with France Paris is looking to expand geopolitical relations in Indo-Pacific after Australia scrapped a multibillion-dollar deal. The Rafale aircraft, which is made by Dassault Aviation, entered service in 2004 10 Feb 2022 Indonesia has agreed to buy six Rafale fighter jets produced by French manufacturer Dassault Aviation, with the acquisition of 36 more on the way, the governments of the two countries said. “It’s official: Indonesia orders 42 Rafales,” French Defence Minister Florence Parly said in a Twitter post during a visit to Indonesia on Thursday. The two countries signed a series of agreements that also include submarine development and ammunition manufacturing. Parly said the “strategic partnership will benefit from the deepening of our defence relations”, adding that France was proud to contribute to the modernisation of armed forces within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). For his part, Indonesian Defence Minister Prabowo Subianto told a news conference: “We started this today with the signing of a contract for six aircraft, to be followed soon with another for 36 with necessary support and simulators.” Dassault Aviation said the announcement marked the start of a long-term partnership and would allow it to rapidly step up its presence in Indonesia. Its shares climbed about 4 percent on news of the agreement. The deal comes as France seeks to expand geopolitical ties in the Indo-Pacific, with Indonesia becoming the second country in the region – after India – to acquire the aircraft. It also follows Australia’s decision last year to cancel a multibillion-dollar submarine deal with France in favour of a new strategic alliance with the United States and the United Kingdom, called AUKUS, that includes nuclear-powered submarines. Indonesia has expressed concern about AUKUS, wary that the use of such submarines could add to geopolitical tensions in Southeast Asia, a region where China has considerable clout. Indonesian President Joko Widodo said he hoped the partnership with France would not be limited to munition purchases but include joint production, technological transfer, and investment in defence industries. The Rafale aircraft, which entered service in 2004, has proved popular in the international market despite competition from the US and other European manufacturers. The United Arab Emirates signed the biggest-ever deal for the jets in December to buy 80 aircraft for $19bn, while its other foreign clients include Croatia, Egypt, Greece and Qatar. link : https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/2/10/france-seals-deal-with-indonesia-on-rafale-fighter-jets
  3. Indonesia to buy US, French warplanes as Paris boosts Asia alliances on February 10, 2022 Indonesia on Thursday ordered 42 Rafale fighter jets from France and may acquire two French submarines, while the United States approved Jakarta’s potential purchase of 36 F-15s in the face of growing tensions in the Asia-Pacific. Indonesia’s first order for French warplanes comes as Jakarta replaces an ageing fleet — consisting mainly of American F-16s and Russian Sukhois — as concerns grow about rising US-China tensions in Asia. The Rafale agreement was announced as Indonesian Defence Minister Prabowo Subianto met his French counterpart Florence Parly in Jakarta. Subianto confirmed a deal had been struck for the purchase of the jets, with a contract signed Thursday relating to the first six. France’s defence ministry said the contract for the 42 aircraft and their weapons was worth $8.1 billion (7.1 billion euros). Spokesman Herve Grandjean said the two countries also signed a letter of intent for research and development with a view to Indonesia ordering two Scorpene submarines. Meanwhile, the US State Department said it had approved the potential F-15s sale along with other assorted military equipment for an estimated $14 billion. The proposed sale will improve “the security of an important regional partner that is a force for political stability, and economic progress in the Asia-Pacific region,” said a statement, adding that it “will not alter the basic military balance in the region.” It did not mention China, whose rise Washington is seeking to counter in the region, and gave no indication when the sale could be concluded. The Rafale deal is the latest sign of warming ties between Jakarta and Paris, as France rethinks its alliances in the region following the collapse in September of a multibillion-dollar Australian submarine deal. Paris was left furious by the debacle, saying it had been given no warning that Canberra was negotiating a new defence pact with the United States and Britain. Australia is now obtaining nuclear-powered submarines as part of the new defence alliance, named AUKUS, which brings together Canberra, Washington and London to counter a rising China. French President Emmanuel Macron welcomed Indonesia’s decision to choose “French industrial excellence”, writing on Twitter that the Rafale deal would “strengthen our partnerships”. In November, France and Indonesia strengthened a strategic partnership agreement during a two-day visit by French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian to the vast Southeast Asian archipelago. – ‘Technical excellence’ – In Jakarta, Parly told reporters that Indonesia had chosen a warplane known for its “technical excellence”, which had demonstrated its “operational capabilities on numerous occasions”. Eric Trappier, CEO of manufacturer Dassault Aviation, said the contract “marks the start of a long-term partnership that will see Dassault Aviation rapidly step up its presence in the country. “It also demonstrates the strong bond between Indonesia and France and reinforces the position of the world’s largest archipelago as a key power on the international stage.” The president of ship and submarine manufacturer Naval Group, Pierre-Eric Pommellet, accompanied Parly in Jakarta and signed a memorandum of understanding with Indonesia’s PT Pal, according to a source within the French company. The agreement included technology transfer, but “everything remains up for negotiation” regarding the Scorpene submarines, the source added. Scorpenes are conventional diesel-electric attack submarines. They are capable of carrying 18 torpedoes and Exocet anti-ship missiles and navigating to a depth of 350 metres (1,148 feet), according to Naval Group. Indonesia is also participating in a South Korean programme to develop a warplane. – Arms race fears – Since the Australian submarine deal collapsed, France has been bolstering ties with long-time partners including Japan and India, as well as turning to Southeast Asian nations such as Indonesia.

Mirani added that the options offered range from presenting a candidate outside the two parties, or presenting a consensus candidate with their support instead of the current candidates, or going to compete in the style of 2018. https://ashourland.net/2022/02/11/صمت-يسود-أجواء-الحزبين-الكرديين-في-ساع/

  14. Iraq makes final reparation payment to Kuwait for 1990 invasion United Nations 10 Feb 2022, 08:21 GMT+10 More than 30 years after the UN Compensation Commission (UNCC) was created to ensure restitution for Kuwait following the Iraqi invasion of 1990, the reparations body announced on Wednesday that it had processed its final claim, amounting to $52.4 billion in total. Around 1.5 million successful claims were awarded, out of a total of around 2.7 million lodged with the Commission. If all the claims had been found legitimate, that would have meant a total pay-out of $352.5 billion. With the final payment made on 13 January, all compensation has now been paid in full, the UN Office at Geneva said in a press release. Marking the moment The UNCC's Governing Council convened a special session to mark the conclusion of the reparations process, ending the process for the individuals, companies and governments, able to prove they had suffered damages from Iraq's unlawful invasion and occupation of Kuwait, under former dictator Saddam Hussein. Delegations from Iraq and Kuwait addressed the session during the opening plenary meeting, which was held under the Presidency of Ireland. Almost 31 years ago, the Commission was established in Geneva - as a subsidiary organ of the Security Council under its resolution 687 (1991) - to process claims and pay compensation for losses and damages suffered as a direct result of the Gulf War from 1990 to 1991. Making reparations The $52.4 billion that has gone to successful plaintiffs, was paid out from the UN Compensation Fund, which received a percentage of the proceeds generated over the years by the export sales of Iraqi petroleum and petroleum products. This percentage, originally set at 30 per cent, was reduced over time under various Security Council resolutions and Governing Council decisions. Most recently, under Governing Council decision 276 (2017), it was set at three per cent. Chapter closed During the special session, the Governing Council adopted decision 277 (2022) declaring that the Government of Iraq had fulfilled its international obligations to compensate all successful claimants for the losses and damages they suffered as a direct result of Iraq's unlawful invasion of Kuwait. In adopting the decision, UNCC recognized and thanked Iraq for its cooperation with the Commission and commitment in meeting its obligations, despite extraordinary security and economic challenges. It also thanked the Government of Kuwait for supporting and cooperating with the Commission.

  16. Khashan challenges the reopening of the nomination for the presidency and requests a state order to stop the decision. Parliament justifies the reasons for re-nomination for the post of president with unconstitutional excuses Khashan challenges the reopening of the nomination for the presidency and requests a state order to stop the decision. Parliament justifies the reasons for re-nomination for the post of president with unconstitutional excuses The Iraqi Council of Representatives broke the silence that accompanied its decision to reopen the candidacy for the position of President of the Republic. By re-running the nomination process for the position of President of the Republic once again, relying on the provisions of Law No. (8) for the position of President of the Republic, and regarding it, we make the following observations: First:Article (3/first) of the candidacy law for the post of President of the Republic referred to stipulates that (those wishing to be nominated who meet the legal conditions stipulated in Article (1) of the law shall submit their written requests accompanied by official documents that prove the fulfillment of these conditions in them, along with their CVs, to The Presidency of the House of Representatives within a maximum date of three days from the start of the announcement of the submission), which is clear from the mentioned text as the overnight sun that the set date is inevitable, as it is not extendable and may not be repeated again. The President of the Republic, even if the first paved the way for the second, if the aforementioned session could not be held due to the lack of a quorum, which is expected, and because the period specified by the constitution is organizational and not inevitable, then this does not definitely affect the nomination process, and does not deprive the candidates who meet the legal conditions truly.Since the decision of the Council of Representatives mentioned above is a legislative decision, it is acceptable to challenge it before the Federal Supreme Court based on the provisions of Article (93/Third) of the Constitution and Article (4/Third) of the amended Court Law for the year 2005 and its internal system, and requesting its annulment due to its interference with the provisions of the law. The legal advisor stressed that "what is required of the House of Representatives is to set a new date for the presidential election session for the electoral process to take place among the candidates who have fulfilled the legal requirements so that the political process in the country is not disrupted and the rest of the constitutional institutions are formed as soon as possible, and the new parliamentary session will start." Khashan submitted an appeal to the Federal Supreme Court against the decision of the Presidency of the House of Representatives, which included opening the door for candidacy for the position of President of the Republic. Khashan said in a statement that the decision "It contravenes Articles (59/Second) and (72/Second/B) of the Constitution and Article (2) of the Law on the Provisions of Candidacy for the Post of President of the Republic, and I asked the court to issue a wilaya order to stop all procedures resulting from this decision.” The decision by the Presidency of the House of Representatives to refrain from calling for the Council’s convening during the last days of the inevitable constitutional period for the election of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, 8/2/2022, nor on any other day.” He pointed out that he “referred to Federal Court Decision No. 2010), which I see as a grave violation because it enables the president and the government to continue to exercise their duties for four years, if one-third of the parliament members insist on boycotting the sessions. The position of the President of the Republic is an illegal or constitutional step and will open the doors to challenge it through the Federal Court. Al-Shammari said that "The Kurdistan Democratic’s nomination of Hoshyar Zebari for the position of President of the Republic put their partners in embarrassment as a result of the presence of suspicions and judicial indications on Zebari that were the reason for issuing a loyalty order from the Federal Court to stop the procedures for his candidacy for the position.” He added, “This situation made the presidency of the House of Representatives go to a step other than Legal or constitutional by opening the door for candidacy again to allow the Kurdistan Democratic Party to submit other names for candidacy, even though the actual names of candidates meet the conditions and there is no need to add others by a decision that violates the law and it can be challenged through the Federal Court.This situation made the Presidency of the House of Representatives go to an illegal or constitutional step by opening the candidacy door again to allow the Kurdistan Democratic Party to submit other names for candidacy, even though the actual names of candidates meet the conditions and there is no need to add others by a decision that represents a violation of the law and it is possible to appeal it during Federal Court.This situation made the Presidency of the House of Representatives go to an illegal or constitutional step by opening the candidacy door again to allow the Kurdistan Democratic Party to submit other names for candidacy, even though the actual names of candidates meet the conditions and there is no need to add others by a decision that represents a violation of the law and it is possible to appeal it during Federal Court. link : https://www.addustor.com/content.php?id=13552

While reports quoted a source describing him as very close to the meeting, saying that (it was a friendly and intimate meeting, and there was no Iranian initiative or suggestion, but rather politically, Mr. Al-Sadr is still insisting on his position, and all rumors of news and pledges are absolutely untrue), other reports revealed that (Qaani handed al-Sadr a message from the Iranian leader, Ali Khamenei, in which he stressed the necessity of uniting the Shiite political house with all its forces, and stressing the inviolability of dismantling this house, under any circumstances). She added, "Al-Sadr informed Qaani, by conveying a message to Khamenei that he is proceeding with the majority government project, with the participation of parties from the coordination framework, not all of the framework, and specifically the rejection of the head of the State of Law coalition, Nuri al-Maliki, who Khamenei confirms on his participation or not the framework will go with the government." new). After his meeting with Qaani, al-Sadr confirmed his adherence to the formation of a majority government through a tweet in which he wrote, (No Eastern, not Western... a national majority government). One of his most prominent aides distributed a picture of him putting an Iraqi ismagh under his cloak, which was interpreted as a message from al-Sadr to the other, which is the framework and Iran. This is Qaani's third visit to Iraq since last month, in an effort to bridge the gap between the forces of the coordination framework regarding the formation of the next government. Other reports described as leaks stated that "Al-Sadr, in his meeting with the commander of the Iranian Quds Force, refused any talk about forming a government and told him that this was an internal Iraqi affair." Al-Sadr called on "Iran to support Iraq as a state without interfering with its internal details, and Al-Sadr assured him that we reject all foreign interference in this direction." Al-Sadr received Qaani at his home in Najaf, which is the second visit within weeks, while the crisis of electing the President of the Republic continues. And a political source said that (Qaani discusses the possible solutions available by hand for a stable situation of the political process, within the framework of Iranian efforts to find a solution to the crisis of the Sadrist movement, which won the elections with the framework of the losing forces). Al-Sadr's office stated in a brief statement, that (Mr. Muqtada al-Sadr received a short while ago, Haji Ismail Qaani in Al-Hanana), and the decision of Parliament Speaker Muhammad al-Halbousi to reopen the candidacy for the position of President of the Republic sparked the discontent of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, revealing his intention to file an appeal to the Federal Court regarding He opened the door for candidacy for the position of President of the Republic for the second time, while renewing his position on continuing his support for Barham Salih for the presidency. link : https://www.azzaman.com/الصدر-يجدّد-تغريدته-بعد-لقاء-قاآني-لا-ش/

In addition, Representative Ali Al-Fatlawi said, “The decision of the Presidency of the House of Representatives regarding reopening the door for nomination is certainly a constitutional decision, but at the same time it is not devoid of political agendas and goals.” He stressed that (the decision to reopen the candidacy door is constitutional and political).

  24. Weak tactics in negotiation may lose the Sadrist movement to its winning strategy Number of readings: 88 Author: Farhad Alaa Al-Din Publication date: Thursday 10-02-2022 Farhad Aladdin The project of the national majority government is dying today, approaching its last breath, after the shock of the Federal Court's interpretation of Article 70 of the Constitution that two-thirds must be held during the presidential election session. And the presence of two-thirds will not be achieved without prior agreements and consensus between the political blocs, in particular between the Sadrist movement and the coordination framework.. In a precedent that the political scene was unfamiliar with, the parliamentary blocs unanimously agreed in frequent statements that they refused to participate in the February 7th session called by the Presidency of the Parliament to choose the President of the Republic, which ended in a lack of a quorum after it was limited to the attendance of 58 deputies from independents and small blocs only. We say a precedent because we used to go to the parliament in most crises and be in its corridors without entering the session with the aim of disrupting the quorum. After a series of announced positions not to participate, the surprise was not against the backdrop of the boycott and thus the failure of the presidential election session, but rather what the leader of the Sadrist movement Muqtada al-Sadr announced in an unexpected tweet in which he implicitly called for the possibility of directing members of the Sadrist bloc not to vote for the candidate of his ally, the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Hoshyar Zebari for the presidency.. He went even further by stopping the ongoing negotiation with the parliamentary blocs and their political forces, as well as boycotting that session, which raised the astonishment of observers that the largest parliamentary bloc that has the project of the ruling national majority is the one behind the disruption of the session and thus pave the way to bypassing the constitutional deadlines. The current between strategy and tactics The strategy of the Sadrist movement in dealing with the electoral process over the previous sessions, especially with the last, i.e. early elections, was and still is the subject of interest and praise from most political circles and all observers, which now indicates the rise of the trend’s graph in reaping the fruits of parliamentary victory one cycle after another.. This time, the current revealed a clear desire to take over the administration of power through a tweet to its leader on November 22, 2020, in which he said, "If I find that the elections will result in a (Sadr) majority in the House of Representatives, and that they will obtain the prime ministership, and therefore I will be able with their help and as we pledged together to complete the reform project. from the inside". Although the observers did not pay attention to this desire and dealt with it with interest, the movement and its leader were actually planning to achieve it. And the spokesman for the movement, Salah Al-Obaidi, announced in a press conference held on December 29, 2020, that “there is an intention and ambition to obtain 100 seats in the upcoming elections, to seize control of matters,” which sparked at the time a wave of speculation that this would be impossible to achieve. Seats at the latest. However, the current surprised everyone and became the largest winning parliamentary bloc with 73 seats. According to what was achieved, it appears that the current adopted a new strategy of three parallel dimensions: The first dimension: the formation of internal alliances, which was represented by holding a series of talks with two important parties in the Iraqi political arena. The second party was represented by the Kurdistan Democratic Party, led by Massoud Barzani, and reached a deep understanding about entering into an alliance after the elections.. The second dimension: the trend towards establishing foreign relations and building partnerships of mutual understanding at the regional and international levels, where the Sadrist movement dispatched high-level representatives to several capitals with the aim of confirming its openness to the outside world, and in particular Iraq’s regional neighborhood. - The third dimension: developing the internal organization of the movement, spreading the culture of elections in accordance with the applicable law, raising the level of performance of the movement’s electoral machine despite its experience and depth of experience, and providing it with efficient cadres and granting it broader powers to choose candidates in addition to entrusting its management with a leader from the first line known for his successes and his remarkable management in the previous elections . As well as mobilizing the public by the leader of the current personally and calling on him to obey the necessity of participation. All of this ended with the current winning a Sadrist majority of 73 seats, in conjunction with a clear decline in their strong competitor, the Al-Fateh Alliance, which won only 17 seats.. Muqtada al-Sadr announced the victory of his movement in the elections in an enthusiastic televised speech on November 11, 2020, after the announcement of the preliminary results, in which he said, "Praise be to God who cherished reform with its largest bloc, an Iraqi bloc, neither eastern nor western, there is no place for corruption and corrupt people in Iraq after today, and we will remove corruption with our blood. From now on, the government or the parties will not have control over the money and goods, but rather it is for the people. The arms must be confined to the hands of the state and the use of arms outside this scope is prohibited. All embassies are welcome unless they interfere in Iraqi affairs and form the government.". This discourse aroused the ire of al-Sadr’s opponents and rivals alike, and they considered it as a declaration of war or a direct threat to their existence in the least described, and as a political, economic and security targeting, which pushed the forces, parties and factions under the weight of the dispute with the trend and its leader to unite its ranks and declare its adherence to an undeclared alliance called the Coordination Framework. As a large bloc rivaling and at the same time opposing the larger Sadrist bloc, it began to draw the features of its political and negotiating discourse by confronting al-Sadr. This was the first tactical mistake that the current made. Observers believe that it was better for the current to give reassurance messages to competitors instead of raising their fears. Al-Sadr's other move, excluding the negotiating team, freezing the work of the political body, and then changing its leadership with a new cadre from Najaf, who are considered the closest to Sadr in the first episode, raised the astonishment and astonishment of most observers, because the previous body and its electoral machine had performed well, and they were the ones who were behind Al-Sadr's successes. It was expected that they would be rewarded for their good performance and their achieved success. However, the chest went the opposite of expected. This, in turn, led to the decline of the role of the Sadrist movement and its disappearance from the scene, which allowed its rivals from the forces of the coordination framework to start an unprecedented movement and to appear on the scene with a remarkable force, the first of which represented by organizing loud demonstrations and mass sit-ins and occupying the media scene with press conferences and a remarkable appearance on television screens with a speech that seeks to confirm The falsification of the election results, in addition to the trend towards the judiciary to challenge the integrity of the elections in return for the silence of the applied movement due to the commitment of its leaders to al-Sadr’s orders to freeze the movement and stop statements pending what the judiciary will say about the lawsuits of those affected. Here the scene approached to resemble what happened in 2010 after the results of the elections at that time and the intensification of the confrontation between the Iraqi List led by Iyad Allawi and the rule of law led by Nuri al-Maliki.". In other words, I see that the current here has lost the political and practical initiative, leaving the arena to its rivals, in conjunction with what it suffers from a clear internal confusion, so it lost its necessary and obligatory tactical capabilities as soon as the election results were announced, losing about two months during which it was able to implement its plans to form the largest bloc and build supportive alliances Assigning him a comfortable and secure majority government ensured. Polarization failure Observers believe that al-Sadr's early announcement of winning a fiery speech had negative effects on the movement and its negotiating position, as it pushed the political blocs under the coordination framework to unite the position and evoke the requirements of the confrontation with a high level, at the expense of the strength of the position of the Sadrist movement among the Shiite component, which demands unity. As al-Sadr and his current do not represent all the spectra of the component, and that the mood of those spectra is distributed among several blocs and forces, whether inside or outside the framework, such as the independents and the Octoberists, for example.. Al-Sadr also decided to stop the new political body from its negotiations to lead the negotiations himself, seeking to attract the other Shiite blocs, by visiting the leader of the Wisdom Movement Ammar al-Hakim and the head of the Victory Alliance Haider al-Abadi on January 5, 2021 in an attempt to include them in his alliance, but he met him by refusing that step, to return The Sadrist movement has moved to a situation of silence and stagnation in exchange for the continuation of the coordination framework in its attempts to win the side of the judiciary and the friendliness of the street with its mass demonstrations. Al-Sadr tried again with some of the framework forces to invite them to a meeting at his father’s house in Al-Hanana, but the framework refused the invitation, forcing Al-Sadr to go to Baghdad to meet with the leaders of the coordination framework at the house of the head of the Al-Fateh Alliance Hadi Al-Amiri on December 4, 2021, and the meeting ended with a tweet Excerpted from al-Sadr, in which he said, "No eastern, not western, national majority government," which means that no solution will be reached. The framework insisted on participating with all his might, but al-Sadr was insisting on excluding the rule of law and its leader, Nuri al-Maliki.. A delegation from the framework led by Hadi Al-Amiri visited Najaf on December 29, 2021 to meet Al-Sadr in Al-Hanana, but the meeting also ended in a tweet with the same meaning. Although the Federal Court announced its ratification of the final results of the elections on December 27, two days before the date of Al-Amiri’s visit, then the President of the Republic set on December 30, 2021, by a republican decree, the date for the first session of the House of Representatives to be held on January 9, 2022. Time was raiding everyone, which increased the pace of the movement, but the failure of the agreement was the master of the situation, as well as the failure of the framework to polarize the Kurds and Sunnis, so the situation remained as it is. For its part, the Sadrist movement was unable to attract the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan because of the deep disagreement between the latter and the Kurdistan Democratic Party, especially with regard to the struggle for the position of President of the Republic. Therefore, the movement avoided direct negotiations with the Union, and in the end, the movement maintained its tripartite alliance with the Kurdistan Democratic Party and the constituent alliance of sovereignty. Whoever advanced under the leadership of Muhammad al-Halbousi and resolved to lead Khamis al-Khanjar, without an official announcement until this moment. In the first session of the House of Representatives, the tripartite alliance was able to elect a presidency after being able to impose a comfortable majority on its rivals, which reinforced the sharpness of the dispute between the current and the framework. The matter of cohesion and the prohibition of exclusivity The framework’s chances of preventing the current from proceeding with the election of the Presidency of the House of Representatives declined to increase its repeated failures, starting with its loss of the largest bloc and passing through its failure to win appeals submitted to the judicial body for elections and losing the case before the Federal Court and ending with the failure of its attempt to keep the first session open with the departure of its deputies to the House of Representatives, leaving the road Paving the way for the tripartite alliance to choose the president of the council and his first and second deputies. The dialogue resumed between the current and the framework through a series of urgent messages to find a way out of the current dispute, following a lightning visit to Hananah by Hadi al-Amiri to meet al-Sadr in private on January 15, when it was agreed that some of the framework forces would participate in the expected Sadrist movement without the rule of law, but that Al-Amiri, after returning to Baghdad and discussing the agreement with the framework forces, returned and informed Al-Sadr of his retreat. According to what al-Sadr revealed in a televised interview on January 25, 2022. Meanwhile, an informed source revealed that the leader of the state of law, Nuri al-Maliki, sent a message to the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran asking for his opinion on the current’s disagreement with the framework. The response came to him through a visit by the commander of the Quds Force, Ismail Qaani to Baghdad, stating the invitation of the Supreme Leader for the framework forces to remain coherent and that none of it enters the tripartite alliance without the other parties, so that the framework gathers its forces with this invitation and expressly declares its refusal to participate in any partial alliance at the expense of the framework’s unity. The doors were closed again between the framework and the Sadrist movement, while Qaani went to meet Parliament Speaker Muhammad al-Halbousi and the leader of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Massoud Barzani, and informed them of Iran's refusal to proceed with forming a majority government at the expense of the unity of the Shiite house, which threatens Iranian national security, calling on Barzani to intervene to heal the rift within the component. Shiite and played the role of the big brother because of its political and social weight. This prompted Barzani to launch his initiative of assigning the President of the Kurdistan Region, Nechirvan Barzani, to go to Al-Hanana, accompanied by Parliament Speaker Muhammad al-Halbousi, and with them, the head of the Sovereignty Alliance, Khamis al-Khanjar, on January 31, and an attempt to persuade Muqtada al-Sadr to address the crisis by agreeing with the forces of the coordination framework.. This Al-Hanana meeting resulted in Al-Sadr sending a high-ranking delegation from his current to Al-Amiri presenting a roadmap consisting of nine new points for participating in the majority government, but Al-Amiri rejected it because it excluded part of the framework forces, to keep the situation as it is.. The Sadrist movement has so far lost all available opportunities to attract the Shiite blocs within the framework, forcing its allies in the Triple Alliance to move from their side to try to create understandings with the framework forces, contrary to what al-Sadr calls for.. Reducing the available options The Federal Court is as close as possible to detonating two bombs in the face of the Sadrist movement. The first is represented by its decision on the largest bloc and the date of its formation, and the second and most importantly is that the quorum for the session to elect the President of the Republic and according to the text of Article 70 of the Constitution, is completed only when two-thirds of the members of the House of Representatives are present. This interpretation is a project hit The majority is at the core and gave birth to him before he was born. The Sadrist movement's available options began to recede, which made it lose the ability to maneuver. The stream has confined itself to a narrow corner, from which it is difficult to leave for several reasons, including: - First: Raising the slogan of a national majority government and insisting on the non-participation of influential Shiite forces within the coordination framework, despite the lack of support by its partners within the tripartite alliance for this approach, based on their belief that consensus is the easiest and surest way to reach the formation of a government that satisfies all conflicting parties. Second: The tripartite alliance is based on the principle of the strongest winning component blocs, i.e. the forces that obtain the highest number of seats within their components and they have broad public bases that support their leaders, but these blocs do not have a common vision and do not have a unified work program with clear parameters, goals and mechanisms. There are clear differences between these forces and those. As one of the announced priorities of the current is reform, fighting corruption and reorganizing the armed factions, while the priorities of the Sovereignty Alliance focus on the issues of the Sunni component, represented in the reconstruction of the liberated areas, the return of the displaced and others, and the disclosure of the fate of the missing and the disappeared. As for the Kurdistan Democratic Party, its priorities are related to the region’s problems with the center and the budget Territory, Article 140 and other contentious issues. It should be noted here that the joint paper that was signed by the constituent parties of the tripartite alliance does not refer to the demands of the Sovereignty Alliance or the Democratic Party. And the real response to the demands of the rising street demanding radical reforms, which ended in holding early elections as the beginning of the awaited series of detailed treatments.. Third: The leaders of the forces of the Triple Alliance confronted managing and directing negotiations and following up on the formation of alliances, in contrast to what happened in the past of assigning negotiating teams to reach common denominators that were later presented to the leaders. Therefore, these forces lost the flexibility of movement and maneuvering, because the final decision is in the hands of the leader. An opinion or position announced and adhered to?! This was evident through his decision to freeze the work of the political body of the movement and prevent its leaders from negotiating, assuming these tasks himself.. Fourth: The leader of the Sadrist movement changed his negotiating team immediately after the elections, which confused the partners, as they had been dealing with the old team for more than a year, and they were not familiar with or heard about the new team. This sudden change made dealing with the partners difficult for a while, and after holding a series of meetings and knowing the negotiators' potentials for both parties, which led to delaying the negotiation and thus delaying the conclusion of the results.. Fifthly: The absence of the previous negotiating team means the absence of all previous understandings on which Al-Sadr built all his victories and successes, as the architect of Al-Sadr’s successes and his efficient team was suddenly absent here, and then almost certain leaks stating that the old team was flexible and pragmatic, while the new team was formed of hawks They are hardened in vision, orientation and dealing with the other, and the team’s hardening converges with what is known about al-Sadr. Its adherence to a final opinion made dealing with the Sadrist movement very difficult.. As a result, we see that the current did not succeed in polarizing even a small number of small blocs and independent representatives, while the prevailing expectation was that the Sadrist movement would become attractive to these without much trouble, but that others would race to join the movement, but what happened blew up all expectations.. Sixth : Strict discourse and lack of flexibility united the competitors despite their internal differences, as the blocs within the coordination framework are from several spectrums and diverse directions, and most of them do not agree in vision, approach and tradition, but their sense of threat and marginalization made them agree among themselves to preserve their entities and existence. Seventh: A feeling prevailing among the partners of the past that the Sadrist movement is leaving the partners of the past for political reasons and forgetting the previous positions of these blocs and the personalities that cooperated with it, which made others deal with great caution and feel distrust that the movement may leave them as it did with others in the past.. Eighth: The faction’s failure to open up to and polarize the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan was a major tactical mistake, as the union and the framework together could break the quorum in the session to elect the president, while if the union was with the movement, holding the session would have been much easier. Ninth: The sudden shift in attitudes without warning makes the partner feel suspicious and apprehensive about the change in the direction of the current. Perhaps the last tweet that surprised the Democratic Party about their candidate for the presidency of the Republic is the best proof of this. Tenth : Miscalculation of timing, emptying the arena for competitors, indifference to what is happening in the political corridors, remaining as a spectator, not proposing practical initiatives, adhering to and insisting on one position, and believing that others are forced to accept, and since the announcement of the final results of the elections so far, they all enter into the door of political tactics that have not succeeded. tangible current. It is clear that the Sadrist movement has won in drawing a complex and difficult strategy and succeeded in achieving it, but it stumbled in implementing its pages due to tactical errors and weak negotiating ability. Article 70 of the constitution, to ensure that the electoral achievement is preserved, or else he and no one else will fall victim to his resounding success. Blockage and early elections again After the political blockage and adherence to hard-line positions and self-closure by all parties, the political process will have entered a dark tunnel fraught with dangers, as proceeding with the majority project has become almost impossible due to the decision of the Federal Court, as well as continuing without electing the President of the Republic and forming a new government will mean failure. The excuse for the winning forces to achieve their electoral entitlement, and they bear the greatest responsibility for that. Observers believe that the Sadrist movement has no choice but to agree with the coordination framework in whole or in part to proceed with the project of forming the government. The Current, Al-Fateh and the State of Law, Progress and Resolve, Democratic and Union) with the small and independent blocs going to the opposition and the selection of a consensual prime minister". This scenario has become the closest with changing its name to a five-way consensus government (the current and the framework, the alliance of sovereignty, the democracy and the union).. The Sadrist movement, as the first winner in the elections and the head of the largest parliamentary alliance (the Alliance to Save the Nation), bears a great responsibility as a result of what will happen in the near future. Therefore, the leader of the Sadrist movement must think carefully about his next steps, and perhaps the first steps to be taken are to assign his team to start negotiating with the other blocs in order to reach solutions. And remedies that end the status quo. Otherwise, calling again for new elections is the option without which there is no choice. Otherwise, it is risking the fate of the country and its future, especially if chaos spreads or armed confrontation erupts to resolve the dispute, God forbid.. https://www.altaakhipress.com/viewart.php?art=138791
