The resignation of Abdul Mahdi ... and dislocated gouge

Last Updated: Saturday 12 November 1441 - 09 November 2019 KSA 00:31 - GMT 21:31
Published Date: Saturday 12 Rabi Awal 1441 H - 09 November 2019 KSA 00:30 - GMT 21:30

 

"My resignation is in my pocket."
This is the statement made by Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi his political insurance policy, which entered the scene of political governance in Iraq.
He is the fourth head of an Iraqi government of Shiite fundamentalist parties, if we exclude the liberal Shiite Iyad Allawi, if we neglect Abdul Mahdi's old Marxist background, and if we focus on Abdul Mahdi's close association with the Supreme Islamic Council, the Hakim group, even if he tries to present himself independently afterwards.
The impression that the son of the aristocratic Baghdad family and the prestigious academic tried to present himself with is humility, political asceticism and personal independence, but the events of the popular "October Revolution" in Iraq, whose chapters are still being written, have devastated much of Iraq's political landscape. .
Abdul Mahdi appeared days after the rise of the popular revolution less innocent from the beginning of his reign, despite his calm speech compared to the speech of the leaders of militias linked to Iran and the generalists and the buzz of these militias towards the gift; but less Iraqi popular uprising against; not only Abdul-Mahdi's government, but all the political situation that It resulted after pro-Iranian parties were able to govern Iraq.
When popular protests against corruption and unemployment began in early October, Abdul Mahdi prepared the resignation letter to be directed to the people on television, but was unable to deliver it, due to Iranian pressure through its affiliated groups inside Iraq, and Qasem Soleimani personally attended to prevent the fall of Abdul Mahdi's government.
The first wave of protests between October 1st and 6th killed at least 157 people, most of them protesters who shot dead live in Baghdad, according to official figures.
Now, even if Abdul-Mahdi resigns, and this is what Iranian groups do not want, it will not be the antidote to the wicked political body in Iraq, and the resignation of Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri has not succeeded in calming the Lebanese public anger.
The dilemma lies in the marrow of the political system and the structure that the rulers of Iraq and Lebanon have come to understand, and the people here and there know this sad reality, so it says in Lebanon: "Do you mean all?" .
What is needed is precious and expensive.
The rulers of Baghdad and Beirut will not acknowledge the essence of the crisis and see the source of popular anger, so they are marred by the margins and formalities of things ... People, despite all the sacrifices, do not see light at the end of the tunnel ...

The Popular Mobilization militia and Iraqi security forces used live bullets, tear gas and tear gas to end the protests, but demonstrations continue despite the violence.

The United Nations has condemned the use of live bullets against demonstrators, and a statement by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed deep concern about the high number of deaths and injuries during the ongoing demonstrations in Iraq.

On Friday, Iraqi security forces reportedly fired live ammunition at demonstrators in Basra, wounding at least three people. Security also injured demonstrators in Baghdad.

In a related matter, the Shiite authority in Iraq Ali al-Sistani, called for a rapid response without "procrastination or procrastination" to the demands of the "reform movement" and to maintain the peaceful and purity of demonstrations that have been going on for more than a month in the country.

Sistani called in a statement published by the Iraqi News Agency, on Friday, to hold accountable the killers of the demonstrators, pointing out that "popular protests calling for reform in more than one place, has manifested many bright images that express the qualities of Iraqis and their courage and altruism, patience and perseverance, And solidarity and compassion among them. "

He identified the most prominent Shiite authority in Iraq, at some points, a description of the state of the country, and through which he sent messages to the ruling political forces and security forces as well as demonstrators and military forces, warning at the same time from external and internal parties want to thwart this reform movement.

Sistani said that "the political forces in power have a unique opportunity to respond to the demands of citizens according to an agreed roadmap, implemented in a specific period of time, putting an end to a long era of corruption and distasteful quotas and the absence of social justice, and may not further procrastination and procrastination in this area, for what it "There is a big risk surrounding the country."

He pointed out that maintaining the peaceful nature of the protests in all its forms is of great importance, and the major responsibility in this is the security forces to avoid the use of violence - especially excessive violence - in dealing with peaceful protesters, stressing that most of the participants in the protests take into account their peacefulness and avoid exposure Government facilities and private property.

He stressed the need to direct the few who are still exposed to the security forces and facilities to stop it, so that the scene of the protests remain pure from all that it disgraces.

Sistani stressed that peaceful demonstrations are the right of every Iraqi, expressing his opinion and demanding his right. The opinion.

He accused the Shiite authority in Iraq, parties and internal and external "unnamed" had played a prominent role in the past decades in Iraq has suffered great harm and oppression of Iraqis from the oppression and abuse. Be very wary of exploiting these parties and any loophole through which they can penetrate their gathering and change the course of the reform movement.

For its part, Amnesty International revealed after research and investigations conducted on the ground, and contact with several Iraqi sources, that some tear gas canisters, used by security forces in the capital Baghdad, especially riot police, which was aimed at killing protesters instead of dispersing them, Origin from Iran and Bulgaria.

For its part, the newspaper "Washington Post" the US that the mass demonstrations in Iraq posed a serious threat to Iran and its agents in Baghdad, adding that Iran has instructed its Iraqi militias to snipe demonstrators in the streets and the kidnapping of prominent activists and targeting the media to eliminate the protests. The government Adel Abdul-Mahdi prepared the letter of resignation, but Iran pressed to prevent the resignation, since it is for the first time fully in power in Iraq.

From Baghdad to the southern city of Karbala, Iraqis are pushing for the revolution and are massing in the central squares of enthusiastic youth facing riot police at nightfall.

The newspaper adds that the streets of Iraq are not alien to power struggles, especially the stage of sectarian conflict and the emergence of "IS." But the crowds are different this time, in other words, this is the largest popular movement in Iraq's modern history: a new generation has emerged under the US-led and post-invasion invasion dominated by Iran.

There were signs in the central square in Baghdad saying to the generation of the 1960s and 1970s we have more courage than you. ”

Although the unrest is confined to predominantly Shiite areas, prominent clerics have not mobilized for these demonstrations and have also targeted Iran's influence in Iraq. , I have been burning the Iranian consulate in Karbala, and tearing up their national flag.

in scenes reminiscent of the fall of Saddam Hussein, the protesters used their shoes to hit images backed by Tehran militia leaders as well as symbols of Iran.

"If anything, these protests have challenged the sectarian form of government that has transformed Iraqis from national identity to ethnic and religious identity," says Harith Hassan, a nonresident fellow at the Carnegie Middle East Center.

Fearing the erosion of its influence, Iran is intervening to mobilize a brutal response, and according to Iraqi officials Iran has instructed its militias to assign snipers to shoot at street demonstrators.

Government officials say Iran this time pressured the weak Iraqi prime minister not to step down and was persuaded that the protests were a foreign conspiracy.

As the latest round of protests began in the second week, at least 264 people were killed and more than 12,000 injured, according to the country's Human Rights Commission.

Iraqi security forces fired tear gas and live ammunition in the air to disperse protesters in central Baghdad on Wednesday, beating captured youths as the biggest wave of anti-government demonstrations in decades spread across the capital and the Human Rights Commission said at least three people were killed.

During his visit to Baghdad early last month, Iranian General Qasem Soleimani told Iraqi officials that Tehran knew how to deal with the protests, recalling that it had come under control when it erupted in Iran, two people familiar with the meeting said.

The security crackdown intensified rapidly, with snipers on rooftops, media outlets attacked and prominent activists abducted.

In his repeated speeches, Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi expressed support for the crowd's demands, promising reform and condemning violence from all sides. But his early promises to step down have disappeared, and in a speech to the Iraqi government on Tuesday, he called the resignation "the easiest way."

Iraq: 5 candidates refused to replace Abdul Mahdi

 

Baghdad - Zaid Salem, Dhi Qar - Mohammed Ali

November 8, 2019

 

 

Iraqi officials and parliamentarians are unanimous that among the main reasons for the current political closure in the country , and the failure of negotiations to dismiss or resign the current government, as a measure currently being put forward to ease the curse of the Iraqi street demonstrating weeks ago, is the inability of the main political forces in the country to provide appropriate or convincing personalities for the presidency The ministers, which led observers to consider the early success of the demonstrations, because the various Iraqi political forces are seeking to introduce new faces to the street other than those known to Iraqis after the US invasion of the country (2003). With the anticipation of a new session of parliament, announced on Thursday, scheduled to be held at 1 pm on Saturday, to discuss "the demands of demonstrators and reforms", on the expectation of demonstrators to organize new events in Tahrir Square, central Baghdad, and a number of fields in the south.

An activist in Karbala said a simulated trial would be held for dozens of officials and politicians in the country for "weakening and impoverishing the people." Under article 4 of sectarianism and article 56, politicians were accused of fraud and fraud under the Iraqi Penal Code. The event comes after two days of preparations, despite the escalation of government repression of the demonstrations and the rise in the number of victims to more than 300 victims and about 13 thousand injured, from October 1 last until Friday.

" Some interpreted Sistani's sermon that it may be in favor of giving the Mahdi government a time limit to implement reforms "

In the context, an Iraqi official told the "new Arab", has been put more than five names since the first days of the demonstrations, including personalities residing abroad to take over the country, but did not get the approval of the main blocs, such as "Sairon" and "conquest" , On the pretext that they will not be convincing to the street, or the existence of party and personal reservations on some of them because of considerations relating to Iran and reservations. He points out that the Iranians do not want the post of prime minister to go outside the framework of the main Islamic parties close to them, namely the Dawa Party, the Supreme Council, the Badr Organization and the Sadrists, and other political blocs such as Sadikon and Fadhila.

The official confirms that so far there is no alternative to Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi, and any talk otherwise is not correct, and there are blocks may retreat from its positions in the coming days, most notably the wisdom movement led by Ammar al-Hakim, and will be given the government a time limit to implement the reform packages and promises to the demonstrators, It may be for six months or until the middle of next year 2020. It is considered that this option is available to the political forces, and it certainly will not be acceptable, so there may be an escalation in the procedures to counter demonstrations. He believes that the selection of Abdul Mahdi for the mission in 2018 was the last card and if he found better than it would have been submitted.

On the other hand, the speech of the religious authority in Najaf, Ali al-Sistani, in spite of the praise of the demonstrations and reflected the spirit of cooperation and authenticity of the Iraqis and support for the demands of the demonstrators, but at the same time talked for the first time on a road map and timelines. This has been interpreted as support for giving the Mahdi government a time limit to implement reforms, but others considered the reference to a roadmap and timelines as a general reference to all the forces of the political process and not to the government alone. Sistani

demanded In a sermon on Friday, delivered by his representative Abdul Mahdi Karbalai, the authorities "not to bring combat troops any of their addresses against the demonstrators, and not to allow the country to slip into the shafts of internal fighting." "The religious authority reiterates its well-known position on condemning the exposure of peaceful demonstrators and all kinds of unjustified violence, and the need to hold those responsible to account," he said. "Maintaining the peaceful nature of the protests in all its forms is of great importance," Sistani said in a Friday sermon in the holy city of Karbala. "It is the responsibility of the security forces to avoid using violence, especially excessive violence in dealing with peaceful protesters, because it is unwarranted and leads to consequences." Dire. "

 

He added, "We would like to point out several points, including that the political forces in power have a unique opportunity to respond to the demands of citizens according to an agreed roadmap, implemented in a specific period of time, putting an end to a long era of corruption, distasteful quotas and the absence of social justice. It is permissible to procrastinate and procrastinate in this area because of the great dangers that surround the country. Notable in the serious harm done to Iraq The oppression and abuse of Iraqis. Today, it may seek to exploit the current protest movement to achieve some of its objectives, so the participants in the protests and others should be very careful not to exploit these parties and any gap that can break through their gathering and change the course of the reform movement.

For his part, said the head of the Iraqi Group for Strategic Studies confident Hashemi, in an interview with the "new Arab", what is understood from the sermon Sistani reference that the reference wanted to give another opportunity to Abdul-Mahdi determine his survival in power, in return for achieving the demands of the demonstrators and stay away from violence and according to specific time limits . He considered that there are no convincing solutions. Political forces are not in agreement on the fate of the government and parliament, nor are the three presidencies in agreement. This makes it difficult to give guarantees to the street to implement reforms, pointing out that the guarantee accepted by the street according to timelines is the religious authority in Najaf and the United Nations, and the government if it can convince these parties to be guarantor, there will be a solution at the level of the street demonstrator, but if It could not, things tend to escalate, considering that the movements of Najaf proceeds from its concern for the blood of Iraqis .

" Current leaders of the political process seek not to compromise what they have "

For his part, member of the national axis Kamel al-Dulaimi, said that "the current political process leaders are seeking not to compromise their achievements in the government of Abdul-Mahdi, and therefore they are adhering to the Prime Minister as they could for this way, in order to preserve what they have achieved for themselves and their parties, how much They are not thinking of finding solutions that satisfy the protesters, but they are looking for the scapegoat they hold responsible for the failures and the suppression of the demonstrators. " He explained in an interview with the "New Arab", that "the youth revolution will not calm down only to address the imbalance in the political process, which tampered with the funds of Iraqis for 16 years, especially as the revolution shook the thrones of the leaders of the parties and militias, which did not provide rational political generations, for believing that they alone can Management of the country. "

On the ground, a medical source in Baghdad said For the "new Arab", reported 5 casualties in Baghdad, yesterday. In Basra, the death toll has risen to 12 and nearly 200 wounded. Witnesses and activists said that security forces used ammunition and gas canisters to disperse the demonstrators near the local government building, where witnesses on Thursday night killed six demonstrators by security fire. In Karbala, Wasit, Muthanna and Missan, the governorates witnessed large demonstrations in public squares and squares, in which various tribal and religious leaders participated.

In Dhi Qar, security forces imposed a comprehensive curfew on the city of Rifai, south of the province, and approved new measures in Nasiriyah, the provincial capital, after the spread of demonstrations outside the perimeter of Habboubi Square, the city center, where it cut off a number of main roads and two bridges on the river Euphrates.

In the name of God the Merciful
Our people listened on Friday, 8/11/2019 to the letter of the Supreme religious authority in Najaf. The speech was an affirmation of last Friday sermon in stressing the right of peaceful demonstrators to express their opinion freely and reassuringly, and to isolate the sabotage elements and internal and external parties that want to distort the march of the demonstrations .. Security, electoral and constitutional correct the paths of the state work, to put it in the natural contexts as a servant state and sponsor and protect the interests of the people and not the interests of the rulers or parties and political forces holding power. Our people, both civilians and military, demonstrated in favor of the blessed sermon, especially as it expressed the precious opportunity that should not be lost.
Demonstrations took place not only in Tahrir Square or other demonstration yards, but also in every home and family, and in the same mind and mind of every Iraqi. Our people have witnessed many movements led by great revolutionaries, civilians and military, but it is the first time that the youth of the age of flowers lead a movement shaking the country from end to end, and shake all our behaviors and the depths of our practices, leading us to a full comprehensive review of the general situation in our country and its current and future tracks.
This movement began victorious and will not end because it will remain victorious with the achieved record speeds of defenses will lead to major reforms in Iraq. It is not a coup from above that carries special interests, but rather a tidal wave of the depths of the consciousness of our people and its rising youth movement with all its hopes and interests. All attempts to circumvent this movement or divert its path or push it in the path of violence and vandalism have been in vain despite all the dear sacrifices made in this way, and all the martyrs and blood that have flowed from the demonstrators and security forces. Our people finally won the cohesion of their youth and their forces and the patronage of the supreme religious authority and loyal in the country to achieve the noble goals that this movement was launched to achieve.
As for the government, it does not consider itself an authority that stands above the will of the people and the constitutional institutions in force, but rather its authority according to the principles and institutions that it clearly endorses through the democratic tools of its choice. Such movements are what correct the paths if there is a deviation, and we fully agree that there is a major imbalance that requires major reform, and it is inevitable. The precious opportunity movement for the youth of Iraq was launched and will not die.
1. We consider the peaceful demonstrations of our people to be one of the most important events that took place in the country after 2003. The government will do its utmost to successfully protest the demands of the demonstrators.
2. The demonstrations have helped and will help to pressure the political forces, the government, the legislative, executive and judicial authorities to correct the paths and accept the changes. Just as demonstrations are a movement to return to the natural rights of the people, the continuation of demonstrations must serve the return of normal life in which legitimate demands are fulfilled.
3. The Government and the judicial authorities will continue to investigate cases of martyrs and wounded demonstrators and troops. It will not keep any of the demonstrators detained and will bring to trial those found guilty of criminal crimes and any party. It will prosecute anyone who assaults, abducts or is detained outside the law and the judicial authorities. The government will grant the martyrs their full right as well as care for the wounded with all their capabilities and capabilities.
4 - There are popular demands for comprehensive or partial ministerial changes to get out of the quota system and to make our institutions more youth, efficient and transparent, and we have confirmed that we will make an important ministerial reshuffle in response.
5. Political forces and parties are important entities in any democratic system. They have made great sacrifices but have fallen into many wrong practices. The parties choose the people to govern according to specific methods, not to dominate or monopolize or take over the state and society. If the last stage witnessed a single-party monopoly that prevented the suppression of the transfer of power, the post-2003 period witnessed a monopoly of parties that took power and prevented through specially designed electoral systems and means of intimidation, buying and selling, a real transfer of power that renewed the youth of the state. This has made the country locked in closed tracks that prevent it from progressing and spread corruption, nepotism and chaos.
Therefore, there are many steps to reform the electoral system and the Commission will be put forward in the next few days and the most important factor has helped and will help is the acceptance of political forces to correct these tracks as a result of public pressure and reference to achieve this.
6 - The digital world (the Internet) is a contemporary reality and a right for all, and a means of questioning repressed voices and free opinions.And the authorities in defense of the rights of the group is sometimes forced to restrict it when it is used to promote violence and hatred, conspiracy against the homeland and disrupt public life which is also the right of all citizens. When some claim the right of the digital world, others also demand the right to continue the life that is disrupted by the digital world because of its misuse by some at the expense of the majority and because of its jelly, hypothetical and global nature, which many countries have addressed in a way that benefits and prevents harm.
7 - In addition to the reform packages issued successively by the Council of Ministers and the House of Representatives, which we are working hard to implement, there are other new packages of reforms, including the adoption of a schedule to reduce the salaries of senior officials in half, as well as adjustments in the scale of salaries to achieve the minimum segments and achieve greater social justice and to implement a system of Social compensation that would not leave Iraq below the poverty line, the application of social security, labor and retirement rights so that private sector workers are equal to the public sector, etc.
We will also continue to implement the reform package issued by the Council of Ministers and the House of Representatives, which dealt with many constitutional and security reforms, especially the implementation of the order 237 and the prevention of any weapons outside the state and any armed entity operating outside the control of the state is considered illegal and is being fought .. Following the influx of officials' wealth, referring all who should be referred to the Supreme Central Court to fight corruption, resolving the issues of unemployment, distributing land, improving services, providing more justice, turning to projects in the real sectors and fighting chaos and others.

Baghdad - Writings

For the 16th consecutive day since the resumption of the people's uprising on October 25, 2019, Iraqis continue their steadfastness despite the brutality of the government and militia killing machine, which led the protesters to describe the government of Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi as the `` deadly government '' and adhere to its dismissal and dissolve parliament and hold accountable killers and corrupt.

Since Saturday morning, 9 November, rebels and demonstrators have gathered on the ground in Baghdad in an attempt to cross the Ahrar bridge in the face of Iranian gas bombs and live bullets.

Tuk-tuk drivers continued to stand on the ground to provide support to the front-line demonstrators as the injured and suffocated gas were rescued and transported away from targeting operations as soon as possible.

In the meantime, local reports revealed that members of militias affiliated with Iran in the Popular Mobilization targeted rebels and demonstrators in the southern Iraqi city of Basra, prompting some angry youths to set fire to the intelligence and security building and the watchtower.

The Washington Post: Abdul Mahdi prepared the letter of resignation, but pressure prevented him from stepping down

BAGHDAD, Nov. 8 (Xinhua) - The Washington Post claimed Friday that Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi had prepared the resignation letter, but pressure prevented him from doing so. The newspaper said: From Baghdad to the south, Iraqis are pushing for the revolution and are massing in the central squares of enthusiastic youth who face riot police at nightfall. This time, in other words, this is the largest popular movement in modern Iraqi history: a new generation that grew up in the shadow of the US-led invasion and the post-invasion era.

According to the newspaper, government officials say that pressure is being exerted on the weak Iraqi prime minister not to step down, and was convinced that the protests are a foreign conspiracy.

Since October 25, Baghdad's Tahrir Square has become a vision of a different kind of Iraq where government authority is largely absent, young people and women cleans the streets, paint pictures of their heroes and kill protests, and hundreds flock to cooking for the crowds. Nearly 60 percent of Iraq's 40 million people grew up in a political system drafted by the United States after the overthrow of Saddam Hussein in 2003, devoting power between religious and ethnic groups, which entrenched corruption.
