Iraq: Demonstrators executed by death squads

 

The protests in Iraq against corruption among the ruling elite have been going on for about two months. So far, 450 people have been killed and around 20,000 injured.

 

As Iran is claimed to be increasingly intervening on the part of the Iraqi government, there are suspicions that pro-Iranian death squads are deliberately executing or kidnapping protesters amid increasing cases of forced detention, threats and murders.

Only at the night from Tuesday to Wednesday was the body of Ali al-Lami, father of five children, found with three bullet wounds in his head. Lami had come to the al-Shaab district to take part in the protests at Tahrir Square in Baghdad. The murder was committed there. His friend Taysir al-Atabi found his body with three bullets in the back of his head.

 

He blamed "the militias of the corrupt government" for the murder and referred to Iranian death squads serving the government. A police source reports that a weapon equipped with a silencer was used in the crime. Lami had called for peaceful protests through the social media shortly before his death.

Lami is the third protestor to have been the victim of an execution in the last ten days. On December 2, 19-year-old Zahra Ali was kidnapped while distributing leaflets. She was tortured and her body thrown outside her home in Baghdad a few hours later. Relatives report that her body showed traces of electric shocks, blows and fractures.

Last week, 53-year-old family father Fehim al-Tai was shot dead by two assailants on a motorcycle on his way home.

Since October, many more protesters have been found dead in various places in the country. In addition, armed and uniformed people have repeatedly kidnapped people. The state declared that nothing was known about these kidnappers.

Last Friday, some twenty opposition members were shot dead by gunmen in Baghdad. Since then, a new wave of kidnappings has begun.

The banner included other politicians who were considered potential candidates for the post of prime minister.

Iraq’s Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi resigned on last month amid pressure from mass anti-government protests.

Izzat Al-Shabandar took to Twitter in response to the banner, saying that he was “neither a candidate” nor will he “honor the leadership of the monkeys who wrote this banner” and referred to them as belonging to “mafias.”

An upcoming meeting reveals the insistence on resolving the prime minister candidate, before the legal deadline expires

http://almasalah.com/ar/news/183954/اجتماع-مرتقب-يكشف-عن-اصرار-على-حسم-مرشح-رئاسة-الوزراء-قبيل-انتهاء-المهلة-القانونية

 

Baghdad / Obelisk: The Presidency of the Republic of Iraq, on Thursday, December 12, 2019, confirmed that a candidate for prime minister will be released, before the legal deadline expires, after three days.

The Iraqi Council of Representatives approved the request to resign the Prime Minister, Adel Abdul Mahdi and his government in the first of this month, to turn into a caretaker government.

Salar Mahmoud, a spokesman for the Presidency of the Republic, said, "Although the issue is complex and sensitive, the President of the Republic, Barham Salih, is determined to resolve the nomination of a candidate for prime minister according to constitutional procedures and terms."

Mahmoud added, in a press statement read by the "obelisk", that Saleh "will meet with the heads of the blocs, the presidency of the parliament and political parties, to resolve this issue within the specified legal deadline, and we are confident that the identification of the candidate of the Prime Minister of Iraq will be soon."

According to Article 76 of the Iraqi constitution, the President of the Republic must, within 15 days from the date of ratification of the resignation of the Prime Minister, assign the candidate of the largest parliamentary bloc to form the government.

The information monitored by the "obelisk" indicates that the new candidate must have street support and acceptance by regional and international parties and the agreement between the political blocs on the most appropriate personality and that the personality be independent, and not be dual national.

Mostly Shiite political blocs are leading the efforts to form the largest bloc, to choose the next prime minister, within constitutional contexts, and proven paths since 2003, but they are faced with categorical rejection by the demonstrators, who are not already confident of any political solution issued by the current political class that is making unremitting efforts to settle Fast and satisfactory alternative to Abdul Mahdi.

Candidate to succeed Adel Abdul-Mahdi considers protesters monkeys and bandits

- Two Hours Ago

BAGHDAD - A leaked recording of a speech by veteran Iraqi politician Izzat al-Shabandar regarding the protesters stationed in Tahrir Square in central Baghdad 72 days ago revealed the angle from which the political spectrum views the protest movement calling for the overthrow of the country's ruling regime.

The Shabandar got angry when he saw his photo, which the demonstrators raised on the Turkish restaurant overlooking Tahrir Square, after they crossed it with an "X" to signify their rejection of his presumed candidacy for the post of prime minister, to succeed the resigned Adel Abdul Mahdi.

The name Shabandar leaked as one of the five candidates presented to the President of the Republic, Barham Salih, to assign one of them to form the new government, but he denied, and said that he would refuse if the matter was presented to him.

"Within a photo banner of characters, my picture is among them, with a comment saying that they are rejected in advance by (the heroes) of the Turkish restaurant, knowing that I am neither a candidate nor a candidate and I will not nominate," Shabandar said.

He added, "I do not honor the leadership of the monkeys who wrote this banner or hung it or ordered them from the mafias of the struggle for power, corruption and murder," considering that the demonstrators who control the Turkish restaurant are "bandits and lowways", and that the political class is curved for them.

Happy I am the first time I hear this arrogant , which laments his luck and cursing quarter because the heroes of the Turkish restaurant Margoa header soil and finished his dreams to reach the seat of power # Azat_ahabandar # Antfadh_alarac
accused Shahbandar protesters in the Turkish restaurant as "tavern Qmarp of Oath", and they are taking drugs and practicing adultery day and night, Surprised by the politicians and clerics who send secret messages to the demonstrators, confirming that they stand beside them, while he said that the supporters of the Shiite leader Muqtada Al-Sadr who are in the same location are murderers and thieves.

And Shabandar is one of the most controversial Iraqi political figures, as he recorded sharp political transformations and placed him in the category of utilitarianism.

After the right arm of former Prime Minister Iyad Allawi was leading a project to counter the hegemony of Islamic forces linked to Iran on the Iraqi political scene, he moved to the State of Law coalition to turn into the chief negotiator in the Nuri al-Maliki team, before he recorded a new turn with his going to work within the businessman team Sunni Khamis Al-Khanjar, who was recently placed on the list of personalities covered by US sanctions, due to his involvement in paying bribes to Iraqi officials.

Activists say that the Shabandar is one of the symbols who experienced all stages of failure in the Iraqi experience, after the year 2003, as he was a prominent star in each of them, given his unique ability to change his skin.

The uproar associated with Shabandar, in conjunction with news of the possibility of the end of political consultations regarding the choice of the new prime minister, within the next two days, came to agree on a figure who had not run for the elections or participated in any of the governments that have succeeded in running the country since 2003.

Informed sources said that the consultations for choosing Abdul-Mahdi's succession are witnessing a breakthrough, with the parties approaching the nomination of a person with a consensus of different powers, waiting to know the reaction of the protesters when announcing the name of the candidate.

The Iraqi writer, Farooq Yusef, said that Shabandar insulted the demonstrators in these critical times, which could lead to him losing the privileges that he enjoyed, and he would re-engage him in the political class that he mocks, and that could be done by any opportunistic and reach-like opportunist.

Youssef added in a statement to “Al-Arab” that the well-known personal history of Shabandar presents a model of what became known in Iraq as “politicians of chance” who were thrown by the wheel of the American occupation on the seats of power, adding, “If the Shabandar was not favored to receive a political position in the country He was and still considers himself a man whose politicians need his advice.

And he considered that what Shabandar stated was what any member of the regime could say after they felt a sense of imminent defeat and that Iranian protection was no longer useful, stressing that had it not been for that feeling, Shabandar would not have found it necessary to respond to the demonstrators, who he described as attributes that could be generalized From his point of view to the entire Iraqi people.

Activists say that most corners of the political class think about the Shabandar method when it comes to their view of the protesters, who classify them as inferior, because they are dissolved and not religious, even followers of Muqtada al-Sadr of them.

Blogger Shabr Al-Maqdisi said about accusing the demonstrators in the Turkish restaurant of drug use, homosexuality and drinking alcohol. He added that "this class must be tried and punished for corruption if the people want a real victory."

The prominent activist Ahmed Abdel-Hussein says that the Shabandar is "narcissistic, the slightest scratch that makes him bleed important words without realizing, to manage the wound of his insignificant narcissism."

"We were fighting our Iraqi brothers for Iran, but the Iranians were insulting us and spitting on us," Abdel-Hussein quoted Shabandar as saying a few days ago. He added, "This was due to the Iranian contempt for him and the proximity of the militia, his narcissism was wounded and he came out to us with an important recognition of their slavery to Iran."

Abdel-Hussein continued, “The Shabandar saw a picture of him on the mountain of Uhud (the characteristic that the demonstrators call the Turkish restaurant) multiplied by a cross, indicating his refusal. Covertly for fear that they might take revenge in the coming days. ”

And he added that the Shabandar "revealed terror in the green, in his kingdom, the kingdom of monkeys."

Iraq: Pressure to impose Mohamed Shiaa Al-Sudani as Prime Minister

 

Baghdad - just deputies

December 13, 2019

 

Iraqi demonstrators anticipated the new millionth scheduled today, Friday, in which some 20 cities and towns are expected to participate, by agreeing to raise unified slogans in it to confirm the continuation of the protest and reject what has been described as patchwork and demanding early elections in the country, while the Al Wathba Square incident , in which 5 protesters were killed About 10 others were wounded, after being shot by a gunman, who was subsequently killed and his body suspended on a column, to spark a widespread condemnation in refusal of what happened.

At this time, three well-informed Iraqi sources confirmed that the name of a member of the Islamic Call Party, Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani, was nominated as a candidate for prime minister, by Al-Fateh and the State of Law led by Hadi Al-Amiri and Nuri Al-Maliki, while Iran is trying to persuade the opponents to hand over the Sudanese prime minister, even if it is temporary. Amid skepticism about its success this time, by imposing a candidate contrary to the desire of the rising streetOr against Najaf’s will to support the demonstrations.

" Saleh confirmed that he would not provide a name that would cause him problems with the demonstrators. "

In spite of the anticipation of the major Shiite political forces in the country, the sermon of the supreme religious authority in Najaf, Ali Sistani, and the proposals that he would have included that he had opinions of help and that there was no authority higher than the authority of the people, Iraqi officials and political leaders affirmed, to the "new Arab", Al-Maliki and Al-Amiri, with Iranian support , the former minister and member of the Dawa Party, Mohamed Shiaa Al-Sudani, is a candidate for the presidency of the government, a nomination that is sure to meet with a strong rejection from the protesting street, especially after hanging the image of the Sudanese with other candidates days ago in Tahrir Square and placing the phrase "No to my candidates" Corrupt parties. "

A prominent leader in the "Al-Fateh" coalition, the political wing of the "Popular Mobilization", said that the leader of the Fateh Alliance Hadi al-Amiri and the leader of the State of Law coalition Nuri al-Maliki nominated the Sudanese to head the government, during a meeting in Baghdad last Wednesday, with the support of the leader of the "Quds Force" Qassem Soleimani, who is moving alongside the Iranian ambassador to Iraq, Erg Masjid, to bring views closer to the Shiite political forces. He emphasized that President Barham Saleh informed several parties that he would not provide a name that would cause him problems with the demonstrators or with other political forces, especially the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, who previously rejected this nomination, explaining that he had telegramed to several parties that they had to choose a new person, revealing the dependence of al-Maliki Al-Amri on the Iranian movement to subject other blocs to the option of nominating the Sudanese Prime Minister for a temporary period .

 

A member of the Ata bloc led by the head of the “Popular Mobilization”, Faleh Al-Fayyad, confirmed the authenticity of this information, explaining, in a telephone conversation with the “new Arab,” asking not to be named, that “the next interim government will have five or six tasks, including opening corruption files since In 2003, therefore, it is in everyone's interest that a Prime Minister close to him come, most notably Al-Maliki, the first supporter of the Sudanese nomination. " He stressed, "There is Iranian support for this nomination, but at the same time it cannot be the last, and the main motive for the nomination of the Sudanese is that it is temporary, with limited staff and limited tasks until elections are held within a year."

The Sudanese is one of the leaders of the "Dawah" and a member of the State of Law coalition, led by Maliki. In 2010, the Ministry of Human Rights received the second Maliki government, then he was appointed as the acting head of the National Commission for Accountability and Justice (de-Baathification), then the acting minister of agriculture in 2013, then the acting head of the Political Prisoners Foundation, then the acting minister for immigration and the displaced, the minister of labor and social affairs Then, the acting Minister of Finance, and then the same position of the Ministry of Trade and Industry.

The leader of the Iraqi Forces Alliance and MP Hebet Al-Halbousi told Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed that “the Shi’ite forces have not fully agreed until the moment with a final person on the next prime minister, even though the Sudanese are their most prominent candidates to head the government.” And that "the Iraqi street, and even the religious authority, do not accept that the new prime minister be from within or affiliated with the political blocs, but rather they are with an independent candidate," stressing that "Saleh cannot provide any candidate for prime minister, without the agreement and agreement of the Shiite blocs on him." , In order to ensure its passage within the House of Representatives. " He pointed out that "the reference wants to choose an independent political figure for the prime minister, and any personality belonging to any political party will be rejected by the reference and the rising street."

" Any personal belonging to any political party will be rejected by the reference "

In turn, the leader of the al-Hikma movement, Muhammad al-Husayni, told Al-Jadeed al-Jadeed that "until now, there is no final agreement on the personality of the next prime minister." And he warned that "insisting on the same names, which were tried in the previous stages and that have clear political and partisan affiliations, for the prime minister is dangerous and will not convince the Iraqi street, reference and political forces that aim to get Iraq out of the crisis." On the other hand, the leader of the Sadrist movement, Hakim al-Zamili, told Al-Jadeed Al-Jadeed that the Sadrist movement categorically refuses to recycle faces and hand over the premiership to any party that once ruled Iraq and was a major cause of corruption and quotas. He stressed that "the demonstrators reject any party political figure, leading the government in the next stage, and Saleh must resolve his matter within the next few days in order to nominate an independent professional figure."

Activist in the demonstrations in Baghdad, Jawad Al-Tamimi, told Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed that they did not expect them to " nominate a new and clean personality , because she will have to open all the files before the last October uprising of corruption, violations and manipulation of the country's capabilities. Therefore there are preparations By the demonstrators to escalate in the event of choosing a Sudanese or someone like him. " He revealed that the demonstrations today, Friday, will witness "great criticism of the Sudanese and other names to confirm her refusal" to head the government, at the same time, it is likely that the religious authority in Najaf will reject any figure that the protesters do not agree with, especially if it is from parties involved in corruption and known to be linked to Iran.

Meanwhile, the Al Wathba Square incident, the fourth protest square in Baghdad, imposed itself on the field sceneYesterday in Iraq. Developments began when demonstrators in Al Wathba Square came under heavy fire from a nearby house, killing five protesters and wounding about 10 others, and this continued without any intervention by the Iraqi security forces surrounding the square, which led large groups of protesters to storm the house that was issued. He shot and pursued the gunman, who was later killed. Protesters who spoke to the "new Arab" assert that they do not know who killed him or who hung his body on a column. Formats of demonstrations rushed to disavow the incident, considering it a new attempt to distort the protests. A statement to the Baghdad demonstrators said: "We went out peacefully for the sake of reform, bloodshed and putting criminals in the hands of the judiciary, we went out to restore everything normal, we went out in order to live in peace and peace, we went out while we were raising the slogan of peace, and what happened today in Al Wathba Square is a crime condemned by the demonstrators It is condemned by humanity and religions and punishable by law.

The Solution Party: Ensuring individual candidacy with multiple constituencies and international monitoring are necessary bases for building the citizenship state in Iraq

 

Baghdad / .. The solution party, Friday, counted that the revisions and amendments to the Iraqi Parliament’s election law will not be feasible and have an acceptable effect, nationally and nationally, if they do not put guarantees for political participation in accordance with the vision and demands of the demonstration arenas. The solution party stressed in a statement received by "Eye of Iraq News" that "what the political process in Iraq has attained due to the misuse of power and its separation from the source of its legitimacy - the people - requires a review of the foundations of its construction and the pumping of new blood into thinking, behavior and practice to prevent the death of the state." . He stressed that "ensuring the right to independent individual candidacy guaranteeing the rights of citizens in their electoral constituencies defined by the judiciary using biometric voting technology with solid international monitoring is the most objective and acceptable basis for approving a national election law that promotes the support of the people and strengthens the democracy of its system."

Sectarianism and rivalries crossed .. Middle East:

The Tahrir Square protests gave Iraq a new birth

The Turkish restaurant or Uhud mountain has turned into an unprecedented symbol of protest movement

The current movement has become a cultural revolution even if it fails to achieve a political revolution

 

 

 

Baghdad - Agencies:

The Middle East Eye website published an article saying that the "Turkish restaurant" - a 14-storey building on the side of Tahrir Square - is a sight worth seeing, and this building occupied by protesters in mid-October has turned into an unprecedented symbol of the protest movement in Iraq. The article written by Fanar Haddad indicated that "the building has become covered with national emblems and Iraqi flags, and a look worth photographing and a recognizable symbol: In Tahrir Square, miniature models from the Turkish restaurant have become memorials for the fallen demonstrators, in addition to that the front of the building is drawn on Shaped keychains and other souvenir pieces.

The writer points out that a great debate is taking place on Iraqi social networking sites among the demonstrators, about whether what should go on in Iraq is called a revolution, indicating that, as expected, the debate is between those who are more enthusiastic about the protest on the one hand, and less enthusiastic, or opponents on the other side. Haddad says: After I visited Tahrir Square several times over the past two weeks, I found that there is no doubt: even if the current movement failed to achieve a political revolution, and even if it was not a revolution, it is undoubtedly a revolutionary movement that has so far achieved a cultural revolution .

The writer shows that, unlike Al-Khulani Square and Al-Senak Bridge, where violence is more present and the prevailing feeling is the feeling of confrontation.

Haddad notes that among the jungle tents in the square you hear everything, from hip-hop to poetry to Shiite condolence readings, and you see what is mentioned because of the Iraqis going to the street at any price, from pictures, murals, memorials, prayer gatherings and other forms of memory. Young people who fell during the past two months of crowd crowd.

The writer finds that the flourishing of the expressions presented exceeds its great artistic value, for it is more than just an interesting display or a suitable background for taking selfies. The cultural output of the liberation square and the popular effort to keep the sit-in throughout the square reflects the topography of an emerging political culture far from the Baath period and from the early years after In 2003.

Haddad reports that he is beyond the incentives for opposing the regime, because the tendencies of protest cannot be limited to a specific direction or ideology, and while you watch a mural depicting an American dagger that drains Iraq and carries the slogan (America is Righteousness), you hear a repeated recording of a chant saying that Iraq is occupied by Iran, and reflects Tahrir Square is a cross section of political trends, religious convictions, classes and age groups.

The writer notes that most of the people in Tahrir Square are young people from poor areas in Baghdad, such as Sadr City, but they reflect the demographic composition of the capital: most of them are youth and most of them are poor. Haddad notes that the tents that do not fill the protest area reflect the diversity of Iraqi society. On any given day, you find everything in the field from civil activity to concerts to tribal marches to religious rituals, the culture of solidarity and the participation of everyone that kept Tahrir Square is in itself an achievement Big.

The writer states that the infrastructure of the crowd and charitable services associated with Shiite events, such as Ashura and the forty, were employed to serve the civil movement that intends to occupy the square indefinitely with the aim of imposing a change in the system, and this is more than the active participants or those already in the Tahrir Square.

Haddad notes that donation boxes have been allocated in stores all over Baghdad, and Iraqis from all walks of society offer what they can provide to the demonstrators, from blankets to food to money, so that some rich businessmen finance supplies and infrastructure for the protest movement, and beneficiaries have become Corruption and practitioners have a dislike for the negative impact on their interests.

The writer says that these protests come at a time widely believed to have crossed the horizon of sectarianism and sectarian competition, and this does not mean that sectarian identity has disappeared.

Haddad concludes his article by saying that the people who built the spirit of Tahrir Square, other protest sites, and Iraqis in general, deserve the best.
