BAGHDAD - Mawazine News 
MP for the coalition of construction, Mohamed Baldawi, Friday, that the crisis of the cabinet formed a gap that hindered the work of the legislative institution and made its meetings formality only, while stressing the need to resolve the remaining ministers as soon as possible. 
Al-Baldawi said in a statement received by Mawazine News: "While our dear people look forward to welfare, services, security, stability and reconstruction of what has been destroyed by the forces of evil and darkness, the terrorists are urging the return of the displaced to their homes, To keep all those aspirations hopes are suspended and frozen. "
Abizaid said: "where the political conflicts of blocs and parties disrupted the work of the legislative institution, which is almost formal meetings because of the suspension of many issues and projects to end the gap caused by the crisis of the cabinet, which resulted in the suspension of the draft budget law and resolve the presidency of parliamentary committees and the government program and discuss the important laws" . 
He stressed that "the need to resolve the remaining ministers as soon as possible," stressing that "this is absolutely necessary for the fact that this contributes to the emptying of the House of Representatives to resolve the budget and the approval of the pending power and will end the disruption in the organs of the state." 
He concluded by saying: "And here it must be stressed that it is not possible to conduct a radical review of the budget without the presence of the Minister of Planning in light of the decline in oil prices, and the other ministries are other vacant ministries vital all aspects of daily life of citizens."

What is the relationship between the delay in the formation of the government and the assassination of a leader of the Saraya peace?

 

What is the relationship between the delay in the formation of the government and the assassination of a leader of the Saraya peace? 

Linking the leadership of the Sadrist movement Zamili governor between the assassination of Hussein al-Hajami, leader of the Saraya peace in the area of the flame in Baghdad, and the lack of a ministerial cabin. 

Zamili said in a press statement: "The lack of completeness of the ministerial cabin, the causes of instability and increasing assassinations and the spread of organized crime." 

He added that "so far did not know who is behind the assassination," asserting: "These attempts are a blackmail of the Saraya peace, which had a prominent role during the war against Dahesh, and there are those who try to mix the papers." 

He pointed out: "The blocs and political parties insist on gains and positions do not pay attention to the interests of citizens in Iraq, so the formation of the government was delayed."

What is the relationship between the delay in the formation of the government and the assassination of a leader of the Saraya peace?

————————————————————————

 

The newspaper “The Daily Telegraph” quoted British security officials as saying that the “assassination squads” had been deployed following the Iraqi general elections in May when Iranian attempts to control the formation of the new Iraqi government were hampered due to the failure of pro-Tehran candidates to take over an adequate percentage of the votes.

According to the newspaper, during the Iraqi election campaign, Iran supported one of Iraq’s former prime ministers, whose close association with Tehran’s ruling circles was one of the main factors that led to his removal from office in the Iraqi government. The newspaper quoted the officials as saying that the Iranian side in its electoral bet in the appointment of another candidate with Iranian support was the leader of one of the factions of the popular crowd, although neither of them received enough votes to give one of them the right to form a government. Some officials who provide military advisory services, support and training to the Iraqi armed forces say Iran has responded to those failures by sending a number of assassinations squads of “the Quds Force” in an attempt to silence Iraqi voices critical of Iranian intervention attempts in Iraq’s political destiny.

They'd better do this and get it right  - this is quickly approaching the 7 month mark. This " Ridiculousness " must end. . . it's tragic the citizenry have this for a government.

 

Not that they're particularly concerned about deadlines and such: seeing how they won't allow " outside influences " to pressure them into doing anything expedient.

Stalemate persists in Iraq, Shia blocs remain at loggerheads

 
A face-off between two of the most powerful Shia politicians in Iraq has deepened tensions within and between major blocs.
Sunday 09/12/2018

LONDON - Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi has been struggling since October to fill the remaining eight posts in his cabinet. There was another reminder recently of how entrenched divisions are in Iraq’s political scene.

The key posts that have held up the government’s formation are the so-called sovereign ministries of interior and defence. A face-off between two of the most powerful Shia politicians in Iraq has deepened tensions within and between major blocs.

Speculation was rife before a planned parliamentary session on December 4. One member of parliament with the Binaa bloc told Alsumaria news that parliament was set to confirm six out of the eight remaining ministers, excluding defence and migration. A Kurdish lawmaker told Kurdistan24 that the Shia and Sunni factions had not reached an agreement on the interior and defence ministries.

After an initial delay, parliament convened as planned. However, MPs failed to elect the remaining cabinet members presented by Abdul-Mahdi because representatives mostly affiliated with Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr reportedly interrupted the session by shouting “illegitimate” and banging on tables. The session was postponed and the political stalemate persisted.

The parliamentary sessions had been preceded by deepening tensions between major political blocs. At the heart of the dispute lies Falih Alfayyadh’s nomination as interior minister, widely seen as the most contentious candidacy on Abdul-Mahdi’s list.

Alfayyadh previously served as the head of the Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF) and is the preferred candidate of Binaa, a political bloc led by Hadi al-Amiri, who is the head of the Badr Organisation, an Iran-backed militia and political party.

Al-Sadr, whose Sairoon alliance finished with the most seats after the elections in May, has strongly rejected Alfayyadh’s nomination. A video on social media showed MPs allied with al-Sadr chanting “our decision was Iraqi” after blocking Alfayyadh’s confirmation.

Al-Sadr further raised the stakes by sending a letter to Abdul-Mahdi in which he warned that the prime minister had one year to “prove himself.” He urged Abdul-Mahdi to appoint technocrats, especially to the interior and defence ministries.

“You are obliged not to comply with what is going on behind the scenes but to be free to establish a state on the right basis, through technocrat ministers who are independent and have free decisions, especially the ministers of defence and interior and other security organs,” the letter read.

A failure to accommodate al-Sadr’s demands could have a big effect beyond the halls of power in Baghdad. One member of al-Sadr’s alliance told Reuters on condition of anonymity: “If Binaa ignores us then we will resort to all possible options, including mobilising the street.”

Al-Sadr has led mass protests against corruption and the political status quo in past years. His supporters stormed the Green Zone in Baghdad, the seat of government, in 2016.

“I think the current prime minister will lose Muqtada al-Sadr’s support because of his insistence on Falih Alfayyadh,” said Iraqi journalist Methaq al-Fayyadh.

Observers also identified tensions within Amiri’s Binaa bloc. Commenting on Twitter, Renad Mansour, a research fellow at Chatham House, said Amiri was losing power and could not be seen as conceding too much.

However, as head of the Binaa bloc and the Fateh alliance, Amiri and his allies control heavily armed forces that are part of the PMF. Amiri has close ties to Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the deputy head of the PMF who has reportedly concentrated more power in his hands while Abdul-Mahdi struggles to form a government.

For the position of defence minister, Abdul-Mahdi stuck with his nomination of Faisal al-Jarba, who has been investigated for his ties to the regime of Saddam Hussein. However, the national de-Ba’athification commission cleared Jarba, who is seen as the favoured candidate of former Prime Minister Iyad Allawi. However, other Sunni politicians close to Amiri are vying for the post.

Asked how hopeful he was that the government formation would be completed by the end of the month, Lukman Faily, spokesman for Iraqi President Barham Salih, said: “We are expecting the prime minister every day to fix a date and provide the CVs [of the candidates]… and take it from there.”

He said Salih had been engaging in political dialogue with the political blocs and would continue to do so to “accelerate the government formation and implementation of the government’s reform programme.”

The last months have shown that, while Sunni-Shia sectarian tensions that have shaped much of post-2003 Iraq are still pervasive, the current stalemate is a direct result of divisions within previously cohesive blocs. Shias are divided over the Interior Ministry, Sunnis over the defence post and Christians over the migration portfolio.

In a potential sign of future instability, protesters in Basra, the site of mass demonstrations this year, interrupted a news conference by Iraqi Finance Minister Fuad Hussein, loudly voicing their frustration.

Parl't to vote on 6 ministers Sunday, minus defense, interior

 

Six ministerial portfolios in Prime Minister Adil Abdul Mahdi's cabinet are expected to be voted on during Sunday's parliamentary session, according to a member of parliament.

 

Fatah Alliance MP Abdul Amir Taiban stated that the parliamentary session on Sunday will witness voting on six of the remaining eight ministerial portfolios, with the exception of the two security posts.

Chaos has been ensuing Abdul Mahdi's attempts to complete his government for weeks, mainly over his nominations for the defense and interior ministries. Former IMIS commander Faleh al-Fayadh, Abdul Mahdi's choice for the interior post, is viewed as extremely controversial due to his crimes and his connections to the Iranian regime. While Iranian-backed political blocs are pushing for Fayadh's appointment, he has been rejected by popular Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr and his Saairun Alliance.

 

While the security posts will not be voted on, Taiban added that the resolution of the defense and interior portfolios should not take a long time, especially in the presence an atmosphere seeking to resolve this file between Abdul Mahdi and leaders of different political blocs.
