ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – Senior Kurdish leader Masoud Barzani met on Sunday with Iraqi National Security Advisor Falih al-Fayyadh in Erbil to discuss the nation's current political and security climate amid ongoing deadly protests in central and southern Iraq.

The two sides expressed their continued support for the government of Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul Mahdi. Protesters have called for his resignation, as well as his cabinet, as the newest wave of violence-ridden protests continued for the third day in a row in all major cities in Iraq with the exception of those in the Kurdistan Region.

Barzani is head of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) and former president of the Kurdistan Region. Along with his role as the national security advisor, Fayyadh is also the chairman of the Iranian-backed Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) militias.

The two stressed the urgent need for reform, for anti-corruption measures, and for an adequate governmental response to the "legitimate" demands of protesters, echoing dozens of similar statements by officials that Iraqis have gotten used to hearing whenever public unrest mounts.

Crowds took to the streets in Baghdad and then in several other cities in early October for approximately a week, during which close to 140 were killed—mostly protesters, as the security forces responded violently to disperse and deter demonstrations, including the use of live rounds. 

In the days following the first surge of protests, Abdul Mahdi made promises of reform and a cabinet shuffle, but protesters viewed the response as insufficient and returned to the streets again on Friday. While demonstrations were initially peaceful, they quickly turned violent as the security forces responded with a confrontational show of force. Demonstrators also upped the ante, torching dozens of government buildings and political party offices. 

 

On Sunday, Abdul Mahdi ordered the elite Counter-Terrorism Service to deploy in the streets of Baghdad in purported efforts to protect important state buildings as other security forces worked to control the throngs of angry citizens that poured into public spaces.

 

Reuters quoted anonymous security sources in Iraq on Saturday, who said the elite forces had been informed to “use all necessary measures” to stop the demonstrations.

On Saturday, one of the largest parties in the national parliament announced it would be moving to the legislature’s opposition, urging other factions to follow suit in order to force the passage of national reforms.

Adel Abdul-Mahdi's spokesman says prime minister will stay in position amid fears of chaos in the country

At least 74 people have been killed and more than 3,600 wounded after protests resumed Friday

BAGHDAD: Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi will not resign in response to the demands of demonstrators and refuses to allow his country to slide into civil war, his spokesman said Sunday.

Baghdad and seven other Shiite-dominated southern provinces have witnessed mass demonstrations since the beginning of the month. The protests have been against corruption, unemployment and a lack of basic services.

Demonstrations stalled after the first week when at least 147 people, including security personnel, were killed and more than 7,000 injured in a bloody crackdown by the Iraqi government and its allies.

But the protests resumed on Friday after Iraqi forces vowed not to use live ammunition against demonstrators.

Despite the pledge, at least 74 people have been killed and more than 3,600 wounded in the past three days, according to the Independent High Commission for Human Rights in Iraq.

Protesters have responded to the violence by increasing their demands, which now include the resignation of Abdul-Mahdi and his government, changing the election law, and holding fresh elections.

The prime minister’s insistence on not resigning, means the cycle of violence is expected to continue and increases the possibility of clashes erupting between the different Shiite factions.

“Abdel-Mahdi will not resign in this critical and difficult circumstance,” Sa’ad Al-Hadaithi, the prime minister’s spokesman, told a local Iraqi TV station on Sunday evening. “The resignation of the government could lead the country into a dangerous situation. We warn of the loss of civil peace and the collapse of the country into chaos.

“The prime minister continues to respond to the legitimate demands of the demonstrators and will not allow the loss of control of the situation.”

Most of the casualties in Baghdad have been from tear gas, while in the provinces they have mainly been caused by clashes when demonstrators attempted to attack the headquarters of Iranian-backed political parties, security officials and witnesses told Arab News.

Abdul-Mahdi attempted to quell the protests with a promise to secure hundreds of thousands of jobs, speeding up corruption trials, and increased welfare for poor families.

But after a two week pause, the incentives appear to have failed with large numbers of demonstrators, returning to the streets with increased popular support, especially in the Shiite communities.

His refusal to resign is linked to the positions of his local and regional allies. Several Iraqi political leaders allied with Abdul-Mahdi told Arab News that an agreement overseen by Gen, Qassem Soleimani, the powerful Iranian military commander, was made to keep Abdul-Mahdi in his post until the end of the crisis.

Soleimani, who commands the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, is accused of leading the crackdown on demonstrators in Baghdad when they first erupted.

“All the Iraqi political parties involved in the government were clearly informed that they are not allowed to take any step to resign Abdul-Mahdi now,” a prominent Shiite governmental advisor closed to Abdul-Mahdi told Arab News.

“At the first days of the crisis (demonstrations), we suggested to ask the prime minister to resign to calm the demonstrators and gain some time, but Haj (Soleimani) rejected this.

“He (Soleimani) said in front of most of the prominent political leaders that he is committed to protecting Abdel-Mahdi to the end and would not allow him to fall because of the protests.

“He said he would agree on the resignation of Abdul-Mahdi just after the end of the crisis. Maybe after two months and Abdul-Mahdi knew and agreed on this.”

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Outgoing
MP Raed Fahmy on Monday criticized the government's actions on protesters' demands, calling on them to resign.
Fahmi said his resignation "came in opposition to the Iraqi authorities and security forces dealing with the movement of protests and youth uprising since the beginning of this month, especially in terms of the use of all forms of violence and escalating, which led to a large number of deaths and injuries."
"It is not a solution but a form of pressure on the government on the one hand," he said.
He added that "the means of repression and violence practiced against the demonstrators proved sterile in front of the demonstrations, but the government and security authorities continue to suppress and kill demonstrators."
"It is true that some demonstrators resort to non-peaceful means and infringe on public property, but the general nature of the protest is peaceful," he said.
He continued, "The majority of the protesters are young people who are armed only with their naked breasts, but the government did not take any significant political step through which to end the congestion, but resorted to fuzzy measures, including economic promises and other measures that have not received the acceptance of people and conviction." "The promises are unreal and have already been given to them at a bygone stage."
"After all this bloodshed, the government must resign until a new one is formed that opens the door to transformations outside the quota, and with real reforms," he said.
He added that "
He concluded by referring to the deficit "structural in parliament prevented so far from addressing the crisis, which prompted deputies to resign."
