UN Special Representative to Iraq Martin Kobler has issued a statement today expressing grave concerns about the soaring level of violence in the country, saying the sectarian violence is “ready to explode” into another full scale civil war.

iraq1.jpg“Systemic violence is ready to explode at any moment if all Iraqi leaders do not engage immediately to pull the country out of this mayhem,” Kobler added.

Of course the decision of whether a civil war is ongoing depends on who you ask, but well over 400 people were killed in April, and the May death toll is now in excess of 600. Those tolls are in-line with the last sectarian blood-letting, during the US occupation.

Violence never really went away in the wake of the US occupation, of course, but it had dropped off significantly from the surge-era tolls, and sectarian killings weren’t the daily issue they were in 2008, or that they are now.

Today saw yet more sectarian attacks nationwide, mostly centering on Shi’ite neighborhoods in Baghdad, but also including the attempted assassination of the governor of Anbar Province, a Sunni-dominated province in Iraq’s west.

NICE MAP of Iraq and surrounding countries, thanks!!.........interesting to see where Kuwait sits in relation to the Persian Gulf.....one can certainly see why Saddam took a "run" at Kuwait, probably thought this nice quiet little community-on-the-sea would be a nice place for his personal "Beach Palace" amongst his own oil wells flowing the black gold.  20 to 1 odds says that Maliki has had the same thoughts.....lets give Maliki Chapter VII release and the full right to get all the heavy duty weapons he wants or thinks he needs.  Under the current circumstances I would suspect Kuwait would not accept a total payout of the $11 billion as opposed to the current revolving credit arrangement......Kuwait is smart enough to keep Maliki IN/UNDER chapter VII until 2015 in hopes the Iraq political situation gets its pooky straight before the final payment.   Sorry, got a little off the Nice Map bit.................

the main leaders Hakim (Supreme council), Mutlaq (former Deputy PM - Kurds), Najafi (Head of Parliament), Sadr, Allawi, and Maliki are supposed to have a meeting on the security situation tomorrow.  Time will tell if maliki shows up, and if they actually agree on something.

Chicago had 532 murders last year. Iraq has about that every month.

Agreed but  the Chicago rate is impressive anyway ( in the negative). Not quite like those of Brazilian big cities but still......

Big deal, deaths equal the murder rates in Chicago, Miami & DC.........Ha.

It makes no sense to compare the murder rate of a city to that of a country.  The murder rate overall in the US is about 4.8 per 100,000 of population.  If Iraq keeps up at an average of 400 per month, they would be about 16 per 100,000 (with 30M inhabitants). The murder rate in Chicago is about 14 per 100,000.

Maliki has already made it clear...he will boycott Parliamentary votes on the 14th & will not allow his party, The Iraqi List to also vote present. Without the Iraqi List, no bills can be passed & no currency reform can take place without such bills.

 

Even if Maliki loses the other upcoming provincial elections, he is still in charge until the new government takes over on the 1st of the year.

 

He can & will continue to reek as much havoc til such time, if anything just for spite.

 

The other option...The IMF, UN, USA & Iraq are going to have to find a way to kill this toxic guy.

 

That's the only option left on the table short of allowing the world to slide into a great depression.
