Kurdish divide between the camps of Abadi and Maliki ... and fears of bargaining
Negotiations of the "big bloc": Kurdish divide between the camps of Abadi and Maliki ... and fears of bargaining
Baghdad Aktham Saif Eddin
23 August 2018

 

The efforts of the Iraqi Kurdish blocs to reunite under one alliance to dialogue with Baghdad have failed after dividing between the camps of current Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi and former Nuri al-Maliki , who seek to attract political blocs in order to form a coalition of the "big bloc" amid fears of political haggling . 
"The issue of the alliance of the Kurdish parties and their agreement under the umbrella of the Kurdistan Alliance has become impossible," said the deputy Kurdish opposition bloc, Sherine Reza, in an interview with "The New Arab". "We as a bloc of change, the Islamic Group, , We will not join the other Kurdish parties ( the Kurdistan Democratic Party led by Massoud Barzani, the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan under the leadership of Iraqi President Jalal Talabani),  in any coalition, because they stole our votes during the elections, and can not be allied with them.

Reza stressed "the determination to ally with any bloc, Sunni or Shiite, provided that it works for the benefit of Iraq , and will not ally with the two Kurdish parties," noting that the party and the parties that agreed with him, far from the camp Abbadi, as the latter did not offer anything to Iraq, Whether for Kurds or others, during his term of office ended, and evidence of this are the demonstrations that sweep the country to demand better services.

"We see that the leader of (coalition) rule of law Nuri al-Maliki closer to us to ally with him, and we think it is better for the next stage."

 
" 
The Kurdish parties that the camp Abbadi did not offer anything to Iraq, while the two main Kurdish parties that the axis closest to them is the axis of Abadi - Sadr 

"
For his part, an official in the Masoud Barzani party, the "new Arab", that "the Kurdish opposition parties responded to pressure and extortion of Maliki, who seeks to form a large bloc, but at the same time to create a division between the Kurdish parties," noting that "this band Constitute a great loss for the Kurdish people, and serves only the anti-Kurdish. "

"We have not yet decided as two Kurdish parties (the Barzani and Talabani parties) that we have turned towards any of the Abbadi or al-Maliki camps," he said, adding that " Our approach will be based on the rights of the Kurds. "

He added: "We have provided our conditions in the coalition, and we await approval, and obtain guarantees to meet them and not to procrastinate, and will not ally with any party does not recognize the rights of the Kurds and undertake to meet the conditions," noting that "so far, the axis closest to us is the axis of Abadi - Sadr, but remains the basis of the coalition is to give the Kurds their constitutional rights. "

Political bargaining that fuels the dialogue with the Kurds raises the fears of other components (Arab and Turkmen) about their future, especially in Kirkuk , which is a key point in the process of forming the "big bloc".

"

 
For his part, revealed a member of the alliance, "Saroon" led by Moqtada al-Sadr, Ahmad al-Obeidi, the refusal of religious authority Ali Sistani to intervene in the current conflict between the two poles of the Shiites, explaining in an interview for "the new Arab," Sistani, "refused to align with either of the two competing parties , And there is resentment he has of negotiations and the way to manage the Shiite parties and compete for positions. 

The media advisor to the former president of the Kurdistan region Massoud Barzani, Kifah Mahmoud, explained to the "new Arab", that Erbil moving in light of the programs offered by coalitions or axes in Baghdad, declaring that "the Kurdistan has not resolved his order in alliance with either party in Baghdad, Is the rights of the Kurds that were put in a basket of delegations that came from Baghdad, notably Article 140, the fiscal budget, and disputed areas, and oil and gas.

In the meantime, the former Iraqi Defense Minister Khalid al-Obeidi, launched a sharp attack on the various Sunni Arab leaders. Al-Obeidi, one of the prominent Sunni leaders still allied with Abadi's list, said in a statement carried by Iraqi media that "the negotiations of the formation of the Great Bloc revealed the reality of the faces that were hidden behind fake masks and slogans", referring to the symbols and leaders of the Axis alliance Announced his convergence with the camp of Nuri al-Maliki and the "popular crowd", notably Khamis Khanjar and Osama Najafi. "Those who incite Iraqis and promote hate speech among them would quickly seize the price of those who were called enemies in closed rooms," he said. "Iraqis have learned the lesson and will not be able to deceive them again."

In another context, accused the leader of the alliance, "victory" headed by Abadi, Ali al-Sunaid, armed militias linked to Iran to try to assassinate him in Baghdad, saying in a television interview, that this attempt came because of his national positions, and his continued support for Abadi.

Militia leader calls for change in Iraq's system of government

ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – A leader in the Fatih Alliance called for a change in Iraq’s system of government, from a parliamentary one to a presidential system, claiming this step would “save the country” from arbitrary allocations of posts and corruption.

Qais al-Khazali, leader of the Asaib Ahl al-Haq faction in the Iran-backed Hashd al-Shaabi, known in English as the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), shared his observations on Wednesday. His militia group is among the most powerful ones in Iraq.

“There are no real solutions with a parliamentary system that governs the country by quota, and the situation will continue to lead to corruption and misconduct because the regime operates on a quota system,” Khazali wrote on his Twitter account.

 

Following an unofficial power-sharing tradition in Iraq, the prime minister must be Shia, the president a Kurd, while the speaker must be Sunni.

“We, therefore, call upon all [political entities] to cooperate in changing this system to a presidential or semi-presidential one to save the country,” Khazali appealed online. His faction won 17 seats in the May 12 contested national election.

A change in the Constitution of Iraq—which defines the country as an Islamic, democratic, federal parliamentary republic—would be required if one is to go from a parliamentary system to a presidential one.

Participants in drafting the constitution say the parliamentary system was approved to avoid a dictatorial regime, such as the one under Saddam Hussein, to arise in Iraq again.

Forgot to add - celebrate never ending holidays, tell everyone how great they are and how the world admires Iraq, stealing Billions of $$$$ to line their pockets, Beg or Demand more $$$ ( cuz we have a crisis ) all this while a population suffers horrible privations eagerly waiting for the day when actual relief is at hand ( which to many seems very much out of reach ) while these primate politicians go on blithely about their business. 

 

Ive seen “ F*^K YOU JACK IM OKAY “ - never so much in your face as with this mob. Meanwhile in Arizona, it’s time for beer, peanuts and a baseball game. Go Boston & Cubs & Dodgers.
