Text of the document {national framework for a unified Iraqi policy}
{Baghdad: Al-Furat News} The presidency published the text of the document {national framework for a unified Iraqi policy}.
The text of the document: In recognition of the changes that have occurred and occur in the region, and consistent with the large role that Iraq can play amid these variables we have become necessary to create internal political cohesion resulting in important outputs, the first is to create an integrative approach played by the government and political parties in line with what is happening on Both internal and external. 
We realize that the recent escalation between the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran will have a negative impact on Iraq, which has just emerged from a costly war with the terrorist organization. Some of its mosques are still active in several provinces, which threatens security. To date, thousands of our displaced people in the camps have not returned to their cities.
The military success achieved in Iraq is very important and can not be underestimated, but it remains reversible. Therefore, Iraq must adopt a practical policy based on a national consensus and based on the interests of Iraq first, stressing its sovereignty and independence and taking into account its security and building and consolidating its nascent democratic institutions. 
Iraq is due to the accumulation of political problems and security breaches, not to mention remnants of dictatorship, allowed foreign interventions, therefore, protect and promote stability in Iraq and its interests in the region, can be accomplished, but this requires a serious and precise practical effort on more than one level in order to : 
- enable institutions The State in the light of a strategy of action based on adherence to the Constitution and professional foundations, which restore prestige and enhance respect and strengthen the confidence of citizens. 
To limit the weapons to the state institutions with jurisdiction and to promote integration without interrupting its security apparatus.
The fight against corruption, which has penetrated into the depth of the state, the security and political system, is the most important factor for perpetuating crises and undermining the country's sovereignty, independence and the welfare of its citizens. 
To work on developing the infrastructure of the Iraqi economy so as to enhance self-sufficiency and reduce the country's need to rely heavily on imports, making its positions strategically dependent on others. 
Therefore, we believe that it is necessary to restore our calculations and make our decisions and understanding based on this national vision based on the promotion of the Iraqi independent decision and the protection of sovereignty and looking forward to: 
- reject the policy of axes and avoid Iraq being a yard for settling disputes and settling scores or a platform for aggression against any other country.
- Iraq's supreme interest and the region should be a platform for the compatibility of common economic and security interests. It is in Iraq's interest to work with its partners in the countries of the region to establish a regional system based on common security interest and economic integration with its Islamic neighborhood and Arab depth. In the internal affairs of States. Iraq, with its geographical and political location and with its resources and wealth, can be a bridge to communicate and meet the interests of our countries and peoples. Iraq has been seen during the past periods as a source of tension and the source of problems in the region. While the stability of Iraq has become a common international and regional interest.
In this sense, Iraq will initiate contact with neighboring countries and brothers. To establish a framework for periodic dialogue on regional problems, to establish cooperation among the countries of the region and to reduce tension in them and to prevent the aggravation of the problems without ignoring the importance of continued cooperation in the fight against terrorism. We believe that the interests of different parties will help and prepare the atmosphere for the success of such a pioneering endeavor. Parliaments of neighboring countries are an important precedent and the preparation of such a meeting. 
We affirm that the strengthening and strengthening of Iraq's relations with its neighbors and its Arab and Islamic depth are important and essential for many reasons, including historical and cultural reasons, which are also important for economic, security and political reasons due to overlapping interests arising from the regional system during the twentieth century.
- We believe that the interest of Iraq and the Arab and Islamic countries is in more joint work based on trust and respect, and away from any polarization by isolating, antagonizing or attacking any Arab or non-Arab regional state. 
- We affirm that Iraq and its territory will not be the starting point for any aggression against any neighboring country, and that it will begin to solve outstanding problems on the basis of dialogue and peaceful understanding and respect for the sovereignty of States. 
- We affirm the support of the Iraqi state and its government in protecting sovereignty and the Iraqi independent decision based on the Iraqi national interest and the need for the Iraqi forces to abide by this stance 
to launch a wide campaign to mobilize the regional, international and international efforts. The crisis must be respected respect for internal sovereignty and non-interference in the affairs of States.
- The presence of foreign military forces in Iraq depends on the agreed controls between these forces and the Iraqi government. Its mission is limited to enabling the Iraqi forces in their war against terrorism. The coordination and cooperation between Iraq and the international coalition countries was not limited to the security aspect but extended to the economic, scientific, And in other areas, and therefore requires that we work to strengthen and consolidate these relations in a way that believes in Iraq's supreme interests. The presence of foreign forces can not be part of any action that detracts from Iraqi sovereignty or targeting the security of neighboring countries. Noting that Iraq will not accept the establishment of permanent foreign military bases on its territory. 
- The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces shall follow the number and nature of these forces and ensure compliance with the tasks entrusted to them within the agreements concluded and compatible with Iraqi sovereignty and the security priorities of the Iraqi state.
We believe that success in developing this policy will help Iraq on more than one level. As this role will enhance the basic value of our country in the region and restore the citizen's confidence in his country and his government after years of tension. A role that the region needs as we need it. Finally, it is useful role to clarify Iraq's strategy in its relations in the event of aggravation of the crises of the region, especially with the possibility of increasing tension or resort to the logic of power between the various parties, God forbid.

Sadr Issues 10-Day Ultimatum for Government to Complete Cabinet

 
 18/06/2019 - 11:34 
Sadr Issues 10-Day Ultimatum for Government to Complete Cabinet
 

ERBIL — Iraqi powerful Shi’ite cleric and the leader of Sairoon bloc, Muqtada al-Sadr, warned the government on Monday to complete the cabinet within 10 days before his supporters take “a new stance”.

“I call on all political blocs to charge the prime minister with completing the cabinet formation process within 10 days,” Reuters quoted Sadr’s letter released by his office.

“Otherwise we will have another position ... and you are aware of our stance.”

Sadr would most likely send his supporters to take to the streets again if the cabinet of Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi is not completed.

Several ministerial posts, including the ones of defense and interior, remain vacant in Abdul-Mahdi’s cabinet due to political tensions between the Shi’ite and Sunni blocs over the candidates.

Is Iraq’s former PM Abadi making a comeback?

By Rudaw 3 hours ago

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – Shiite leaders have turned up the heat on Iraq’s Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi to deliver on his promises. One man who stands to gain from this is Haider al-Abadi, Iraq’s former PM.

Abdul-Mahdi’s task was never a simple one, inheriting a country wracked by war, political division, mass displacement, crumbling infrastructure, and rampant corruption. 

Now, just seven months into the job, the PM is fighting for his career as powerful Shiite figures question his progress.

Ali al-Sistani, the highest Shiite religious authority in Iraq, voiced his dissatisfaction with the government’s achievements in his Friday sermon

Moreover, one of the kingmakers of Iraq’s politics, the firebrand Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, warned the PM he has just 10 days to fill the remaining vacant posts in his cabinet, else he could be removed. 

Abdul-Mahdi is yet to appoint ministers to head the Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Interior, and Ministry of Justice due to competition and disputes between the political parties.

Sadr’s Sayirun alliance, the biggest bloc in the Iraqi parliament, may soon force Abdul-Mahdi to appear before MPs to account for his government’s shortcomings. 

One bloc in particular, Abadi’s Nasr (Victory) Alliance, appears to be capitalizing on Abdul-Mahdi’s woes. 

Abadi

Appointed after Nuri al-Maliki stepped down in 2014, Abadi labored through four turbulent years in office, presiding over the war with the Islamic State (ISIS). 

Continuing the policy of his predecessor, Abadi deprived the Kurdistan Region of its budget share in a dispute over independent oil sales. 

After the Kurdistan independence referendum of September 2017, Abadi imposed an embargo on the Region’s airports and deployed federal troops to seize Kirkuk and other disputed territories from the Peshmerga.

His ruthless approach caused Erbil-Baghdad relations to sink to their lowest ebb in years. 

Abadi broke away from Maliki’s State of Law Coalition to run in Iraq’s May 2018 parliamentary election as head of the Nasr (Victory) Alliance – designed to capitalize on the defeat of ISIS. 

As a result, Abadi and Maliki split the Dawa Party vote, causing it to lose power for the first time in 15 years. 

 

Nasr came in third place, followed by State of Law in fourth. 

 

Abadi was removed from office in part because of his poor public approval ratings following a brutal state crackdown on anti-government protests in Basra and other southern provinces that summer. 

He had also lost the support of Iran-backed militia chiefs, who saw him as America’s preferred candidate.

Abadi has remained active in the Iraqi parliament ever since – becoming a thorn in Abdul-Mahdi’s side. 

Budget 

According to a Kurdish MP in the Iraqi parliament, Nasr MPs are leading the effort inside parliament to stop Abdul-Mahdi sending public sector salaries to the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). 

“The MPs of the Nasr faction are working on this and have turned it into a weapon against Adil Abdul-Mahdi,” Bakhtyar Shaways, a Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) MP in the Iraqi parliament, told Rudaw.

Baghdad agreed to resume the salary payments in the 2019 budget bill, despite the KRG’s failure to uphold its end of the bargain to send oil to be sold through Iraq’s state oil marketing agency SOMO.

One of the clauses of the bill stipulates the KRG must hand over 250,000 barrels of oil per day in exchange for its budget share.

Abadi is upset with the Iraqi PM for sending salaries without Iraq receiving the oil in return, Shaways said.

“That is why, in every session of the parliament, Abadi’s MPs raise the agreement between the Kurdistan Region and Baghdad and ask where the 250,000 barrels of oil that are supposed to be sent are,” he added.

Dana Jaza, a Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) MP in the Iraqi parliament, told Rudaw the issue is likely to come to a head once the new Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) is established in Erbil. 

“There are attempts on the part of some blocs to destroy [Abdul-Mahdi’s] government,” Jaza claimed.

Abdul-Mahdi is planning to visit the Region at the end of the week, sources told Rudaw. 

“This issue has to be resolved because there are many attacks against Adil Abdul-Mahdi, and he has asked for help,” Shaways said.

Abadi’s return to frontline politics is likely to be fraught with challenges. He made many enemies during his time in office, particularly among the Kurds.

 

Kurdish parties hold 57 seats in the Iraqi parliament and play a prominent role in the federal government. As a result, they have a de-facto veto over who gets to become PM and who doesn’t.


After the May 2018 election, Kurds refused to back Abadi for a second term. It is likely they would do the same again if Abdul-Mahdi is toppled.

Saairun parliamentary bloc affirmed its commitment to leader of the Sadrist Movement Muqtada al-Sadr's statement concerning the completion of the cabinet formation and the parliamentary committees.

Sadr on Monday called on "all" political blocs to authorize Prime Minister Adil Abd Al-Mahdi to complete the government within 10 days.

Sadr had urged supporters to stage mass protests against former governments and suggested it could happen against the current government of Abd al-Mahdi.

Spokesman of Saairun bloc Hamdallah al-Rekabi expressed his hope that the rest of the political blocs deal positively with Sadr's "pure call which seeks the interest of Iraq in the first and last place."
