After downloading the failure of previous governments .. Abadi exposed to betray allies and friends

11:24 - 22/07/2018

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - 
Prime Minister Haider al-Abbadi found himself in a position he never imagined, amid popular protests calling for him to fight corruption and provide services, and in a very difficult time, a second term prime minister. 
Haidar al-Abadi feels "injustice" in these protests, according to sources close to him, explaining that it took longer after the liberation of the country to carry out his promise to fight corruption, which he considered an extension of Daash. 
Contrary to previous protests, most political figures and blocs are silent about what is happening in the popular movement, which sometimes took severe forms in the central and southern governorates of Iraq. 
The silence of the parties and the political forces about what is going on seems to be an attempt to get out of these demonstrations with the least possible losses, leaving Abadi alone to face the unknown fate.
The Kurds and the Sunnis have not issued any statement about the protests that have been abandoned by their regions, nor have they been issued by most of the Shiite forces, except for Muqtada al-Sadr's calls for calm and an offer to the protestors to participate with them. 
There is still uncertainty about the role of Sadr's leader, Moqtada al-Sadr, the only major political actor who has the motivation and the means to give the demonstrations broader political organization, yet he has been cautious so far. He has expressed his support for the demonstrators without asking his supporters to join the demonstrations. , Iraq will be in a more serious predicament. 
Sources within the Dawa Party said: Abadi is in an enviable position these days, especially as he leads an expired government, and things seem to be moving towards more complexity. 
The sources believe that "it is unlikely in the shadow of a government does not have the powers and funds sufficient, and restricted by the restrictions of the World Bank."
 "Abadi today is committed to agreements with the International Monetary Fund because it oversees the implementation of the decisions and the state's administrative and financial policy." 
Laith Kubba, a former spokesman for the Iraqi government under Jaafari's government, was commissioned by the fund to manage the taxpayer and is now working from his office in the Green Zone. 
As for Abadi's position within the Dawa party, the movements of the party's secretary-general, former prime minister Nuri al-Maliki, are still pending. 
Maliki is trying to implicitly support the protest movement, in an attempt to disobedience, and not to respect the isolation of the party between the political and popular circles.
"I salute you, respected young people, and I salute the high patriotic spirit in you when you took up arms in defense of your dear country Iraq, and you won the victory over gangs. You are today the heart of Iraq," he said, You are now the leaders of this movement demanding services and a life of dignity, "an attempt to hold Abadi responsible for the failure of the government over the past period, forgetting that he took over the presidency of the government for eight years intersected by the biggest corruption in history, as well as control over one third of Iraq. 
It is known that al-Maliki faced the protests, which came out in the second session of the Prime Minister, in the winter of 2011, heavy measures led to the arrest of dozens, and sought to many times not to allow the demonstration, which later eroded the political reputation.
Despite calls by some to expand the protests to the northern and western provinces, observers of the Iraqi issue do not expect a large response to this. They ruled that these demonstrations to move to the Sunni provinces in any way, memories of the demonstrations that emerged spontaneously in 2013 and 2014 are present in mind , Before being exploited by some quarters and turn into a relapse in the sense of the word. 
As for the Kurds, they are steeped in the problems of the region and do not need any demonstrations in it, especially as they suffer from the consequences of the referendum on the independence of Kurdistan, whose results were reflected in disappointment and successive political losses on the political and economic levels and the loss of international relations.

On Monday, July 16, Iraqi protesters in the southern oil city of Basra burned a poster of Iranian leader Ayatollah Khamenei, shouting “Iran out!”


It was the culmination of a week of protests targeting Iraqi government and party offices as well as Iran, as people expressed anger over lack of jobs, electricity, water and infrastructure in southern Iraq. Now Baghdad has suppressed the protests with Iranian-backed militias and the U.S.-trained Iraqi army. U.S. officials, including Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, have warned that these Iranian-backed militias are a threat and the crackdown should serve as a wake-up call.


The protests offer an opportunity for Washington, after years of working with Baghdad, to reappraise its policy and stop giving a “blank check” to Iraq, which has empowered Iranian interests and harmed U.S. allies on the ground.
 


Demonstrators began by blocking roads to oil fields in the south, demanding jobs. Then protesters in Najaf occupied the airport, and others blocked the Safwan border crossing with Kuwait. In response, Baghdad sent the elite Counter Terrorism Service to the south, alongside the army. The government cut off the internet and blocked social media and messaging services — utilizing a tool from Tehran’s playbook to quell protests.


Most significantly, the protesters targeted political parties backed by Iran. They burned down party offices of the Dawa party, Kata’ib Hezbollah and Asaib Ahl al-Haq. The latter two are affiliated with the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) of Shi’ite militias that are officially part of the Iraqi government security forces. Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has called them the “hope of the future” of the country. On videos, protesters accused these parties of being part of an Iranian agenda that is strangling the Iraq economy, cutting off electricity and water and sponging up Iraqi oil while the locals suffer.


The protests illustrate that hope for Iraq’s future stability is in question. In February, the United States urged members of the anti-ISIS coalition to extend Iraq a $3 billion credit line, among the billions of dollars that Iraq seeks for its rebuilding. But there are serious concerns about where this money is going.


A U.S. Inspector General report published in May noted that “Iranian-aligned elements of the PMF remained one of the major security challenges in Iraq.” The report detailed how Baghdad was integrating these Iranian-backed units into the security forces and had granted them equal pay as the regular army. In his May speech to the Heritage Foundation about withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal, Secretary Pompeo noted, “Iran sponsored Shia militia groups and terrorists to infiltrate and undermine the Iraqi Security Forces and jeopardize Iraq’s sovereignty.”


The protests offer Washington a chance to support people in Iraq who are confronting Iran’s disastrous influence on the country. Without meddling in the country, Washington can find ways to support residents in the south and anti-Iranian groups. It can work to monitor and expose the ways that oil, water and electricity are being siphoned off to Iran, and examine the degree of Iranian influence over the nascent coalition government. Specifically, Washington can work more closely with the Kurdistan region in the north, a safe and more stable area in Iraq.


In the north, the autonomous Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) recently sent its armed forces, the Peshmerga, to help hunt down ISIS cells in a mountainous area. Since the Peshmerga were forced out of Kirkuk last year by the Iraqi central government, instability has returned to the area. Near-daily attacks make the road from Kirkuk to Baghdad unsafe. This is a result of Baghdad’s inability — despite billions of dollars invested by the United States over the years — to use its security forces effectively. Instead, Baghdad sends them to confront protesters.


The United States has proactively supported minority groups targeted by ISIS in Nineveh plains, investing in more than 60 projects, according to a 2017 report. This is essential to stabilizing the Mosul and Sinjar areas where ISIS carried out bloody assaults and genocide just four years ago. Stabilizing these areas, along with the Kurdistan region and Kirkuk, will help Iraq recover. And sending a message to Baghdad that Washington will not continue to work with anti-American, Iranian-backed militias would be in line with warnings from U.S. officials.


The United States invaded Iraq in 2003 to get rid of its dictator, Saddam Hussein — and succeeded. There is no reason to keep pouring resources into Baghdad to prop up an Iranian-backed government when the United States has allies elsewhere in Iraq.

Iraqi officials plan to travel to Riyadh to strike an energy deal with Saudi Arabia as protests over electricity cuts reach Baghdad.

This came after Iran severed its electricity supply to Iraq’s southern provinces of Ziqar and Meysan last month, saying Iraq had failed to pay its mounting debt to Tehran.

Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are now looking to fill the void left by Iran’s move.

Kuwait, on Saturday, also announced it would send 30,000 cubic meters of diesel to Iraq to help with electricity generation in the south. The first shipment was said to have been delivered on Saturday.

The unrest presents a potentially unique opportunity for the Saudis, who seek to curb Iranian influence in Iraq and potentially cut them off from supply routes reaching Syria, where Iran has propped up Tehran-leaning rebels.

More than 75 per cent of Iraq’s accessible oil reserves are found in the country's southern provinces. 

Gulf countries over the last year have made a push to improve relations with Iraq as part of their policy to counter Iran’s perceived meddling in Arab affairs.

Iran over the weekend threatened to block oil exports in the Gulf if moves were put into place to bar Iran from exporting fossil fuels.

The US is imposing sanctions on Iran in an attempt to bar it from exporting oil.

Earlier in June, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo made Iran a priority during meetings with the Saudi Foreign Minister Adel Al Jubeir and Iraq Prime Minister Haidar Al Abadi.

Saudi intervened in Yemen's civil war after the internationally recognised government said Iran had been providing arms to the Houthi rebels, who seized Yemen’s capital in 2015.

As for Kuwait, ensuring the safety of its northern border is paramount to the country, which plans on building a new commercial centre, Silk City in Subiya, less than an hour’s drive from the Iraqi border.

Kuwait is willing to bolster the economy of Iraq, and in particular Basra, to quell the possibility of protests spilling over the relatively insecure border. Kuwait fears the unrest in Basra, which is less than two hours’ drive from Kuwait city, could pose a security threat.

Kuwait is less aggressive in its policies towards Iran when compared to its other Gulf neighbours.

Although Kuwait does not endorse many of Iran’s policies, some in the country fear that an economic failure in Iran could ripple through the other Gulf countries.

Al Shall, an economic consultancy and risk assessment firm in Kuwait, wrote: “We do not believe that it is in the interest of the region, particularly Kuwait, for the poor conditions there to continue, neither in humanitarian terms nor in security terms.” 

Stuck between regional powers, Kuwait’s security depends on peaceful relations between Iran, Saudi Arabia and the political stability of Iraq, which has traditionally insulated Kuwait from Iranian influence. 

Kuwait last year pledged $2 billion (Dh7.4bn) to the reconstruction of Iraq in a conference hosted in Kuwait City that saw dozens of countries attend to pledge a total of $30 billion.

The pledge came as a surprise as Iraq is also set to resume payments to fully meet the $4.6 billion still owed to Kuwait in reparations for the destruction of oil production during the Gulf War.

"The clashes between security forces and protesters in Iraq’s south and center left 831 people dead and injured since the start of the demonstrations 10 days ago," Iraqi News quoted Mostafa Saadon, the spokesperson for the Iraqi Observatory for Human Rights, while speaking at a press conference, adding that the security forces are currently searching for protest organizers who took part in the capital city of Baghdad and the other provinces.

The observatory group has not specified the number of people killed in the protests.

"Iraqi authorities arrested 348 people for taking part in the rallies, 314 of whom were released later after signing a pledge that they will not stage or call for any protests afterwards," Hesam el-Hashemy, a member of the Iraqi Observatory for Human Rights, was quoted by the news agency.

Demonstrations against the poor public services and job vacancies, were first staged in Basra province two weeks ago, but they were later expanded to Amara, Nasiriya, Karbala and the Shiite holy city of Najaf, including some parts of Baghdad.

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – Iraqi Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr is planning to order his supporters to take to the streets and join the angry protesters in their mass demonstrations against unemployment, corruption and poor services in Iraq, a Lebanese newspaper reported Sunday.

 
According to Lebanon’s Al Akhbar newspaper, there is a big possibility that “the Sadrists would join the protesters, particularly after Sadr called on the winning parties in the elections held last May to suspend talks over the new government formation until the protesters’ demands are met.”

“The winning political parties in the election have to suspend all political dialogues for forming coalitions and until they meet protesters’ rightful demands,” Sadr wrote on Tweeter Friday in his first public comments on unrest which has swept the south.

Mass demonstrations against unemployment, corruption and poor services spread further across southern Iraqi provinces almost two weeks ago.The demonstrations started in Basra province, but they later extended to other cities, including Amara, Nasiriya, Karbala and the Shiite holy city of Najaf. There were also protests in parts of the capital, Baghdad.

 

The protests prompted Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi to rush from a NATO summit in Brussels to Basra to meet with local officials and tribal leaders in a bid to restore calm.

Al-Sadr’s Sairoon coalition won 54 parliamentary seats in the May 12 parliamentary polls, followed by an al-Hashd al-Shaabi-linked coalition (47 seats) and Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi’s Victory bloc (42 seats), according to the election commission.

Al-Sadr’s coalition did not win the majority needed to form a government alone but will play a primary role in selecting the next prime minister.

Iraqi election-winner Sairoon suspend negotiations over formation of new government

ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – The leader of Sairoon and influential Shia cleric, Muqtada al-Sadr, has suspended his coalition’s talks over the formation of a new Iraqi government.

Mohammed Rashk, a senior member of Sairoon, told Baghdad Today Newson Sunday that Sadr has postponed all talks over the creation of the largest coalition to form the new government.

Rashk said Sadr had previously ordered the suspension of all talks until the demands of the protesters are met; therefore, Sairoon has also put all negotiations with other political parties on hold.

He added that it is not possible to begin political talks and assign posts while Iraqis have legitimate demands that the government must fulfill.

The senior member of Sairoon noted they would only resume talks on the formation of the new government when the people’s demands, including the provision of job opportunities and better services, are met.

In a tweet last week, Sadr called on Iraqi parties to suspend talks over the formation of a new government and address the demands of protesters.

“The winning political parties in the current [May 12] elections should suspend all talks for the formation of coalitions [to establish the new government] until they meet the rightful demands of the protesters,” he wrote.

For three weeks, people have taken to the streets in several provinces in southern Iraq to demand better public services and an end to unemployment.

In response, the Iraqi government imposed strict measures, including blocking access to the internet and social media and deploying the army and counter-terrorism units into provinces where people are protesting.

According to local Iraqi media outlets, so far, at least 12 people have been killed by security forces and over 250 others wounded.

On June 23, Iraq’s parliamentary election winner Sadr and current Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi announced that their political blocs would form an alliance.

Earlier this month, Sairoon and Iran-backed Hashd al-Shaabi’s al-Fatih Coalition, who finished runners-up in the polls, said they had reached an agreement to create the largest alliance in the next Iraqi Parliament.
