Today, in its revolution, 20 demonstrators climbed an 11-storey building and called it "Mount of Martyrs".

This comes as the local government announced the suspension of official working hours on Sunday, 1-12-2019. 

On Thursday and Friday, 70 protesters were killed in the cities of Najaf and Nasiriyah by security forces and unknown armed elements, a day after demonstrators set fire to the Iranian consulate in Najaf.

Since the protests began, 418 people have been killed and 15,000 wounded, and the bloody violence prompted Supreme Leader Ali al-Sistani on Friday to call on parliament to seek a no-confidence motion against the government of Abdul-Mahdi, who preempted the move by announcing his intention to resign to parliament without setting a specific date.

Do we like Abadi?

IMO, according to the constitution they have now, Saleh will govern until the new election and according to the protesters The PM will not come from any party.  He/She will be elected by the popular vote.  The Constitution must be ammended for this to take place.  Sooo that leads us to noone really knows how things are going to be run until the Constitution is amemded.   Right now things are a mess.  Tribal Sunni's are going after the Shia...  Shia Malitia are killing the protesters and vying for power.  I just pray Iran is forced out of the situation, which IMO, there will be much more bloodshed until that happens.  The Mullah's know their Regime will fall without money coming from Iraq.  Our State Department knows that and that is why they are backing the protests.  I'm afraid this Freedom fight has a way to go.  God bless the Freedom Fighters.

Iraqi's PM Calls on Parliament to Accept His Resignation

https://www.thebaghdadpost.com/en/Story/44866/Iraqi-s-PM-Calls-on-Parliament-to-Accept-His-Resignation

 

Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi called on parliament to accept his resignation and move quickly to find a successor, saying the country needs a new leader to end two months of violent, anti-government protests.

“I have no doubt that the council and its members will be diligent in finding a suitable replacement as soon as possible as the country in its current state can’t rely on a daily caretaker government,” he said during a meeting with the National Security Council.

The initial announcement Friday that he would step down sparked celebrations in the capital, Baghdad, and rallies in the southern city of Basra as protesters welcomed the apparent climb down. Mahdi, who’s backed by neighboring power Iran, had offered to quit earlier but then insisted he’d only go once lawmakers agreed on a replacement.

On Friday, the prime minister said that once he departs, parliament can “review its options and act to preserve the interests of Iraq.” The alternative could be a “vortex of violence, chaos and destruction,” he said.
His move followed a call from an influential Shiite cleric for lawmakers to promptly hold “free and honest” elections to prevent the OPEC member from slipping into deeper chaos.

Sheikh Ahmed Al-Safi, who speaks on behalf of Grand Ayatollah Ali Al-Sistani, also renewed calls for officials to end the violent crackdown against protesters a day after security forces killed at least 25 people and wounded scores more in the southern city of Nassiriya, and demonstrators burned Iran’s consulate in the holy city of Najaf.

Iraq will “pay dearly” for any delay by parliament in holding elections that “express the people’s will,” Al-Safi said in a Friday sermon.

At least 380 people have died in clashes between security forces and protesters since Oct. 1, Ali Al-Bayyati, a member of Iraq’s independent High Human Rights Commission, said in a text message.

Violence Against Iraqi Protesters Is Rising, Rights Group Says
Iraqis, mostly from the Shiite majority population, are protesting against government corruption, poor services, and wide-ranging Iranian political influence, calling for an overhaul of the ruling class.

The challenges Iraq faces after prime minister’s resignation

The news on November 29 that Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi will resign is unprecedented in post-2003 Iraq. Many questions must be answered before his successor is appointed, and in the meantime, we can expect unrest to continue.

The immediate concern will be constitutional. The Iraqi constitution addresses the replacement of a prime minister following his removal from office by a parliamentary vote of no-confidence and in the case of vacancy for any reason, but it is silent on resignation, other than a scenario related to the dissolution of parliament and the calling of a new election. If that occurs, the prime minister will be “considered as having resigned and the government becomes a caretaker” government until a new one is confirmed, according to Article 64. In the event of parliamentary removal of the prime minister, the constitution allows the government to remain in office to run the country for a maximum period of thirty days until a new government is formed, according to Article 61. If the office of prime minister is vacated for any other reason, the president will serve as prime minister until a new government is formed, and he must designate a new prime minister within fifteen days, according to Article 81. It remains to be seen which pathway will be used to replace Abdul-Mahdi, and the process may require a ruling by the Supreme Court.

The other question that must be addressed is the possible constitutional violation of October 2018 when President Barham Salih appointed Abdul-Mahdi prime minister on the basis of parliamentary consensus before the proper designation of the parliament’s largest bloc. Article 76 of the constitution authorizes the president to nominate a prime minister from the largest parliamentary bloc. However, no such bloc was identified subsequent to Abdul-Mahdi’s nomination, leaving the parliament and the presidency faced with more questions to answer in this contentious and uncertain moment. 

If the president nominates a prime minister now without properly designating the largest bloc, he will be challenged in court. If he follows the constitution literally, he will have some time until the designation of the largest bloc is made; a care-taker government can run affairs temporarily as mentioned earlier. However, if the Article 81 pathway is chosen, there will be only fifteen days to identify the largest bloc and nominate a new prime minister.

Aside from the complexity of this situation, there is also the menace of foreign influence. Government formation periods in Iraq have always attracted regional and other international powers to converge in Baghdad and throw all their weight to tip the balance in favor of their interests—or what each of them unilaterally deem to be Iraqi interests. Since 2003, Iraqis have consistently lost their first choice of prime minister and have settled for an alternative who was viewed as a compromise by foreign powers, and namely the United States and Iran. Despite the protesters’ vociferous rejections of foreign meddling in Iraq’s affairs, both in words and in action, it is not realistic to expect that the coming government formation process will be significantly different. In fact, there is perhaps more at stake in the next government than all previous iterations and, therefore, its formation will be accompanied by more intense pressure campaigns than ever before.  

The appointment of a new government, with all the uncertainties that surround it, is only half of the picture of what is happening in Iraq and what will shape its immediate future. The other (and more important) half concerns the reaction of the protesters who are the driving force behind this crisis.

The demands of the Iraqi protesters—who represent the overwhelming majority of the people’s views—include not merely the overthrow of the government and the replacement of it with officials from the same mistrusted political elite. The protesters’ slogans (“I want a homeland” and “I am protesting to reclaim my rights”) go way beyond giving the political system a facelift. Their demands span from employment and economic opportunities to the overhaul of the political system and real reform that addresses the corruption and political apportionment system (muhassassa) which gives a few privileged political parties exclusive control over the country.

The protesters also envision a sovereign country free from foreign influence. Any government that is not going to present a credible program to meet this wide range of demands combined with the aptitude to implement it will not gain their approval and secure stability and security, which are essential prerequisites for moving Iraq forward.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Judicial Council in Iraq announced on Saturday to punish those who assaulted demonstrators in Baghdad and nine other provinces in accordance with Iraqi law. A statement issued by the Supreme Judicial Council distributed yesterday «will be punished for attacking citizens peaceful demonstrators, the most severe penalties in accordance with the Iraqi Penal Code». He called on the Supreme Judicial Council »the injured and the families of martyrs to review the investigative bodies in the provinces of Dhi Qar and Najaf, to record their statements regarding the crimes committed against them during the demonstrations. 

On the other hand, an AFP correspondent reported that the protesters set tires aboard three bridges along the Euphrates River, while hundreds gathered in the main protest square in the city center. Renewed demonstrations in Nasiriyah despite the bloody repression carried out by security forces, which killed more than 40 demonstrators during the past two days in the city. Violence erupted after demonstrators stormed the Iranian consulate and burned it in the city of Najaf, accusing Iraq's neighbor of supporting the Baghdad government. 

Medics told AFP that security personnel in plainclothes infiltrated the demonstrations following the burning of the consulate, killing more than 20 protesters. 

Witnesses said on Saturday that 16 people were injured after being shot by police forces, when they tried to storm the headquarters of the Federal Police headquarters in the center of the city of Nasiriyah. Witnesses told Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa that police fired live ammunition at demonstrators as they tried to break into the Dhi Qar police headquarters to disperse them, wounding 16 protesters. 

The witnesses said that «hit-and-run operations in the streets of Nasiriyah between police forces and demonstrators to keep them away from the police headquarters, which the demonstrators insist on storming». 

Five demonstrators were killed as they tried to approach the shrine of religious political figure Mohammed Baqir al-Hakim, founder of the Supreme Islamic Council of his party, Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi.

Protesters burned tires on Saturday and fresh clashes were reported, leaving at least 25 wounded, doctors said. Karbala, the second most important holy city for Shi'ites, was the scene of protests, including the firing of gas bombs that lasted until early Saturday morning.

In Diwaniyah, thousands of people took to the streets early to demand the "overthrow of the regime." "We will continue this movement," Mahdi told AFP. "The resignation of Abdul Mahdi is only the first step. Now all the corrupt figures must be removed and brought to justice."
