The mobility of the 170 deputies waving Saleh's conspiracy and powers of quotas over the aspirations of the Iraqi street

Baghdad / Obelisk: MP Muhammad Al-Khalidi, one of the most prominent leaders of the 170-member coalition, considered, on Tuesday, January 21, 2020, that the President of the Republic succumbed to the pressure of quotas and did not name a Prime Minister.

Al-Khalidi said in a press statement, read by the "obelisk", that "the national forces and personalities have endeavored, with continuous and continuous efforts, for nearly two months and more to reach a national, political and popular consensus on a strong personality that can cross the political process to safety."

He added, "Those efforts reached their final stages after we signed the signatures of more than 170 deputies for the specifications that should be met by the candidate for the post of prime minister, and after that we presented the name of a candidate accompanied by the signatures of more than 60 deputies, and we were able to gather the national class towards a figure with specifications that were agreed upon in order to assign it to The President of the Republic yesterday evening (Monday). "

Al-Khalidi stressed, "The President of the Republic was supposed to announce the name of the candidate yesterday, but he acquiesced to the pressure of quotas advocates who did not like them to liberate Iraq from the hegemony of the parties and to achieve the change that called for demonstrations."

He pointed out that, "From this standpoint, after the quotas have succeeded in passing their will and passed their word and failed everything that we went through to achieve the aspirations of the street with change, we leave the decision today to the largest bloc and the decision-maker and all the authorities, which is the Iraqi people to defend their rights by peaceful means that they deem appropriate. And to serve Iraq and achieve legitimate and constitutional demands. "

Amid a new wave of demonstrations sweeping the country, the Iraqis were surprised that President Barham Saleh traveled to Switzerland to attend the Davos conference.

The news of Saleh's travel to Davos, angered Iraqi tweets on Twitter, as some of them considered a flaw in assessing the priorities of the stage for the President of the Republic.

US President Donald Trump will meet President Saleh and the President of the Kurdistan Region, Nechirvan Barzani, in two separate meetings.

Despite the bad weather conditions, "the protesters expanded their popular movement inside the capital."

Meanwhile, protesters in Najaf Province closed the international road linking Najaf and Karbala governorates.

In Wasit governorate, demonstrators on the dirt barriers blocked the road between Wasit and the capital.

In the far south of Iraq, protesters cut off the road between Khawr al-Zubayr and Umm Qasr.

As the international highway between Basra and Baghdad continues to be cut off by protesters in Dhi Qar Governorate at the intersection of Al-Batha District.

The source said, "The protesters in Dhi Qar allow only the transit of vehicles loaded with food and medical supplies, humanitarian cases and the transit of citizens' vehicles, including parts of trucks and tanks coming from ports, border ports and refineries towards the capital, Baghdad."

On Monday, protesters escalated their steps against the country's political class, and began cutting roads, fueling confrontations with the security forces.

The escalation came after the deadline granted by the protesters to implement their demands that they went out of since the first of last October, such as the formation of a government of competencies capable of reviving the country's deteriorating economy and fighting corruption.

Hezbollah Brigades: Next Friday's demonstration will raise the Iraqi flag exclusively

 

Baghdad / Obelisk: Hezbollah Brigades confirmed, Wednesday, January 22, 2020, that Iraq will not allow the foreign occupier to desecrate its land because it is known for its courage and protection, noting that the demonstration next Friday will raise the Iraqi flag exclusively.

Obelisk publishes the text of the statement:

O masses of our dear Iraqi people, sons of those who rose in the first revolution of the twenty, and tasted the English occupiers humiliation and humiliation, my sons of the tribes of generosity, and courage, and fathers in Anbar and Mosul, and the clans of splendor, sacrifice and giving in Basra and Nasiriyah, my dear sons of the provinces of Iraq from the beloved north To the dear south ... Here you are in front of a historical page of pride and dignity, in which you will unveil a new epic by launching the spark of the second revolution of the second revolution in the book of confrontation with the invaders who defiled our holy land.

We invite you, as you are tempted in the midst of despair, to pray next Friday in the arenas of honor to demonstrate against the foreign occupier who dared challenge the will of the Iraqi people, and underestimated their sovereignty and independence, for his insistence on keeping his brute military forces in Iraq in spite of the House’s decision, and our government's requests to remove Sweetie. ”

“Our proud Iraqi people, known for their protection and courage, will not fear confronting the arrogant, nor will the foreign occupier be allowed to defile their land, nor will the threats of fools and criminals threaten him, for he has committed himself to fear only God.”

And for those whose grandparents did not have the honor to fight the English occupation in the first revolution of the twentieth, he only has to write his name in letters of gold on this page of struggle, to be a source of pride for him and his children and grandchildren, and a symbol and beacon for future generations.

This Iraqi revolution will exclusively raise the flag of Iraq to the palm of its Sunnis, Shiites, Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds and all the spectrums of our dear and generous Iraq, in order to turn the land high and lower it on the soil of the earth.

Follow the obelisk

Who is next in line to be Iraq's Prime Minister?

2 hours ago

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – More than 50 days since Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi’s resignation, Shiite political parties are failing to find consensus on a new leader that can satisfy protesters rallying on streets across Iraq. 

After only one year in office, Abdul-Mahdi resigned in late November after Iraqi protesters piled pressure on the government to resign, as well as a direct call from  the highest Shiite authority in Iraq, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani to step down.

Since then, Iraq’s various political blocs have been locked in talks to nominate a suitable candidate to replace Abdul-Mahdi.

Amjad Aqabi, a Sairoon MP, told Rudaw on Wednesday that his party aims for a candidate that will be accepted by the protesters. 

“We want someone...who is independent, [without] dual citizenship, and familiar with Iraqi struggles,” Aqabi said. 

“Sairoon will accept and support the candidate who would earn the acceptance of the Iraqi street and protesters,” he added. 

However, Bina coalition has not given up on pushing its agenda, despite the rejection of all of their candidates in the past weeks.

Bina, headed by Hadi al-Amiri, counts former Iraqi Prime Minister  Nouri al-Maliki and political parties affiliated with  Iran-backed Popular  Mobilization Forces (PMF) paramilitaries among its membership.

Muhammad Baldawi,an MP in the Faith Alliance, which heads the Bina coalition,  told Rudaw on Wednesday that Bina have candidates in mind but will not release their names in order to avoid media smear campaigns. 

“We have offered some names, but we still have some other names that won’t be revealed for now so as to not face media destruction campaigns or  any defamation from some media,” Baldawi said. 

“The name of the candidate of Bina coalition to be [the] next Iraqi PM will be directly announced when  he gets the approval of the Iraqi President,” he added.

Both Sairoon and Bina are linked to Iran. Foreign influence in Iraq, particularly at the hands of Tehran and Washington, has been a key grievance for Iraqi protesters, who have torched several Iranian consulates since demonstrations began. 

Iraqis have been protesting in central and southern parts of Iraq for  more than 110 days, demanding real change in the country and  threatening to topple the political class that has held power since  2005.

A protester in Tahrir Square told Rudaw on Wednesday that the new  Iraqi PM should be fully independent from political parties and have not held any governmental position since 2003.

“We want someone who loves Iraq, and has no ties with regional  countries," they added.

Another protester, who is in his 60s, told Rudaw on Wednesday that “we  have given a lot of martyrs and blood, and we won’t be satisfied by only changing the Iraqi PM, but removing the whole government.”

Protesters have been met with brutal force from security forces, many  being killed after being hit with tear-gas canisters.

More than 520 protesters and members of the security forces have been  killed and around 17,000 more wounded since October 1.

After a period of relative tranquility, a wave of violence resumed in  many central and southern provinces of Iraq on Sunday, after  protesters decided to block new roads and bridges in Baghdad and other  southern cities in order to put more pressure on the Iraqi government  and the political parties to hear the demands of the protesters.

At least 10 protesters have been killed and more than 150 wounded since Sunday, according to the Iraqi High Commission for Human Rights.

The Iraqi researcher and political writer, Ghalib Al-Shabandar, sent a message to the Sadrist movement leader Muqtada Al-Sadr about a million tomorrow morning.

He added that "many millionaires, one brought Al-Maliki and the other to Al-Abadi, but no one brought out corruption. Too much is not necessarily a force and I do not like the popularity of Al-Sadr to decline by the Sadrists only."
