Iraqi Protesters Reject Premiership Candidate Suggested by Maliki
 

ERBIL - Iraqi protesters have rejected a candidate for the country's premiership who has been suggested by former PM Nouri al-Maliki.

The majority of political parties have agreed on Mohammed Shia al-Sudani as a candidate for the post of future prime minister, but the demonstrators on Sunday made it clear that they would not support him, according to a report by Sky News.

Sairoon alliance, led by Iraqi powerful Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, and Victory coalition of Haidar al-Abadi have already rejected to support al-Sudani.

Earlier on Saturday, the angry demonstrators set al-Sudani's house on fire.

Representatives expected the President of the Republic, Dr. Barham Salih, to receive the prime minister’s mission in addition to his primary job after the end of the constitutional period assigned to assign a certain person to take over the prime minister’s tasks without reaching solutions, and at a time when some deputies confirmed that the vision for the next stage is still blurry for the political blocs, The Victory Coalition and the Alliance of Wisdom announced that they would not nominate or support a specific figure to take over as prime minister, while the Presidency of the National Coalition submitted a proposal to form a mini-government for a period of one year, preparing for fair and transparent elections with a new election law. 
Member of the House of Representatives Abbas Al-Sayyed Sarout told Al-Sabah: “There is nothing yet on the political scene, and what is present is only what is being discussed in the media regarding the nomination of a person to take over as prime minister after Adel Abdul-Mahdi resigned from his post.”

He added, "Any person who is running now finds objections, whether from the political blocs or from the demonstrators, which leads to withdrawing her candidacy and replacing her with another, knowing that everyone who nominates is professional and clean his job record while he holds positions in the provinces where he worked or ministries."
And Sarout expected that "the President of the Republic will replace a prime minister in addition to his job to end the constitutional period without reaching solutions regarding a personal candidacy for this position, despite the constitutional problems that will emerge after that."
 
Kurdish position
For his part, said a member of the House of Representatives Diyar Berwari: "Parliament is awaiting the last moments before the end of the constitutional period to assign a certain person to take over the prime minister during the next stage."
Barwari added to Al-Sabah that "it is hoped that there will be a session (today, Monday) to vote on the candidate for prime minister, but the letter of assignment has not yet reached Parliament."

Street w.
And the MP indicated that "the political blocs must bear in mind that the choice of the next prime minister will be for a transitional and experimental period, and for this it is preferable not to be a known political face and to be independent and businessmen, because the state administration currently needs people who lead the stage," stressing "that there is a difference among the masses The ones on the street are similar to the difference of political forces regarding the nomination of a certain personality that could lead Iraq during the next stage to safety, so that the basic evaluation of the personality that is nominated will result in the results of its work.
Barwari hinted that "the vision is still not clear to the political blocs, regarding whether to go towards early elections, or rely on the recommendations of the reference on adherence to constitutional times, etc., on the basis of which the work of the next cabinet will be, while this change will be reflected on The House of Representatives worked to provide a more suitable ground for building high confidence between the deputies and the masses on the street. "
The head of the KDP Parliamentary Bloc, Vian Sabri, called on the blocs to resolve their affairs regarding the position of prime minister.
Sabri said: "Everyone is waiting for the Shiite political blocs concerned with the position of Prime Minister to decide the matter of the candidate and not to let things go towards complicating the political scene more, and that the introduction of the name (Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani) as a candidate for this position did not take his share of the complete agreement between the blocs concerned." .

coming".
In turn, the head of the wisdom movement, Mr. Ammar Al-Hakim, affirmed that the current would support any candidate for prime minister agreed upon by the Iraqis.
Mr. Al-Hakim said in a statement that Al-Sabah received a copy of it: “Since we adopted the option of constructive opposition, we continue and urge the rest of the forces to consolidate the foundations of the political system, evaluate its positives, and diagnose and remedy its negatives.” He added that, "From this standpoint, we clearly announce that we support the choice of our people in the matter of a person and the specifications of the prospective prime minister to form the transitional government, and we confirm that there is no candidate from us for this task and position."
Mr. Hakim said, "We will support all those who agree on the word of the Iraqis in order to advance the reality of the current stage, and prepare for early elections to implement the demands of the peaceful demonstrators."
 
National proposal

Al-Ghazzi stated in a statement received by Al-Sabah that “we have the honor to represent the Iraqi street and the confidence of (the leader Muqtada al-Sadr) is honor and trust. As for preserving this honor, it is our commitment to the line of popular interest and nothing else. The dignity of Iraq, land and people, "as he put it.
He added, "While we are fully committed to everything that would do justice to the oppressed Iraqi people, we proudly announce that we will stand in the face of any project to install a partisan or a party figure for a previous post of prime minister, and we also strongly reject the passage of anyone who does not meet the conditions of the demonstrators."
And Al-Ghazi added: "In my name, and on behalf of the Bloc of Other Walkers, I declare that we will support any personality agreed upon by the demonstrators in the demonstration arenas. However, "This is a promise and a pledge made against us in front of our people." 
According to him.
 
An informed source
In a related development, a source close to the candidate for the presidency of the next government, Muhammad Shi'a Al-Sudani, revealed that the political blocs rejected the conditions of Al-Sudani to take over the next government, indicating that the blocs categorically refused to form a supreme court to hold corrupt people accountable and not grant them any entitlement to the government.
The source, who asked not to be named, said: "The candidate for prime minister, Mohamed Shiaa Al-Sudani, informed the political blocs of his conditions for taking over the next government and the most important paragraphs of his next program."

Iraq protesters reject nomination for new PM

image.png.40d483ebaea933bec999b3427bad173c.png

https://www.thebaghdadpost.com/en/Story/45091/Iraq-protesters-reject-nomination-for-new-PM

 

Iraqi protesters have rejected Mohammed Shia al-Sudani’s nomination to become the country’s new prime minister.

Al-Sudani is a frontrunner to head Iraq’s interim government amid ongoing protests which forced the resignation of former Prime Minister Adil Abdul Mahdi in November.

At least 400 people have been killed at the hands of security forces and unidentified assailants firing live ammunition and tear gas to disperse the demonstrations since they erupted in October.

At Tahrir Square, the focal point for the spontaneous, leaderless protests over long-standing grievances including government corruption, unemployment and a lack of basic services, demonstrators voiced their opposition against al-Sudani’s nomination.

One protester said al-Sudani, who resigned from the powerful Shiite Dawa and became an independent candidate, was still a “biased party member” and would prefer someone who comes from “inside the revolution,” referring to the protests.

Tishreen protesters have grown more certain and proud of themselves as Iraqis

 
* Munqeth Dagher / From The Washington Post, translation: Anis Al-Saffar                                             
 

Thousands of demonstrators in the Tahrir Square in the capital, Baghdad, and other areas in central and southern Iraq, showed their pride and pride in themselves as Iraqis, and the majority of them expressed the distancing of the previous negative feelings after they entered the demonstration squares.
In an effort to come up with a better understanding of the nature of the dynamics driving these protests, and how the protesters' complaint will be responded to, my research group called "The Independent" conducted an opinion poll through face-to-face interviews with 1,250 demonstrators from Baghdad and all major cities in southern Iraq during the period between November 24 And December 1, and since we did not have the opportunity to take a representative "random sample", we resorted to the method of targeting people among those participating in the demonstrations to take what is called the "purposeful sample".

Among the strongest connections that the recent survey process ended was the overwhelming necessity for protesters to feel important and that they were "important". In a previous poll process conducted earlier this year that included all of Iraq, a percentage ranged between 3 and 4 percent of those surveyed Their opinions say that they feel their lives have lost any meaning, while 80 percent said they have experienced symptoms of depression for at least once in the six months preceding that survey.
However, participation in the current demonstrations changed those feelings as it seems, with about 94 percent of protesters saying that the demonstrations made them feel important people, and an almost equal percentage said that just participating in the protests made them feel that they have an audible voice in shaping the future of Iraq. 97 percent said that just going out on demonstrations made them feel more proud and proud of being Iraqis.
 
The digital revolution
Since 2004, the percentage of Iraqis who own mobile phones has jumped from 1 percent to nearly 100 percent, and more than 80 percent of them have smartphones with access to the Internet, and our surveys have shown that, since 2018 (as close as possible), Iraqis have become They use the Internet as a main source of information.
Nearly two thirds of the protesters state that they went out to demonstrate in response to an invitation they received either online or through the so-called “physical social network”, and only 12 percent of them went out on the basis of an appeal by their family members, and this changed from what was happening in the past when the government was Control the flow of information that reaches Iraqi citizens.
 
trustless
The greatest problem that any permanent solution will face is the deep lack of confidence in the current political players. With the exception of (the reference) Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Ali al-Sistani, who is the most influential cleric in Iraq and enjoys the confidence of 60 percent of the protesters, the other state players (legislative, executive and even power) Judicial) except for the confidence of less than 5 percent of Iraqis, according to our latest polls. 
More than 90 percent of the protesters welcome early elections, but only a low percentage are willing to agree to hold these elections under the supervision of the current election commission, or even under the supervision of Iraqi judges.
 
Looking to the future
Young Iraqi protesters showed a remarkable ability to resist being drawn to violence, and the protesters did not lose their focus and were firmly on the path to achieving their demand, which is to transform the political system into a different system based on merit and merit, so its formation is no longer subject to fundamentally affiliation.
It may be difficult to find a way out of the current protest pliers, but it is worth paying attention to the fact that 70 percent of protesters are content to hold early elections under the supervision of the United Nations.

Al-Mukhtar: Tehran's militias disintegrated and there were signs of their fighting

The Iranian presence in Iraq is dying

Report - Hussein al-Badawi
lg.php?bannerid=538&campaignid=451&zonei

 

The demonstrations that invaded Iraq in protest against corruption, poor public services and unemployment are still continuing to demand the change of the political system that took power after the American invasion of the country in 2003 AD, and the Iraqi authorities have strengthened security measures in the capital in preparation for the events that some factions warned of, and in a closer look at what is going on On the ground now, Iraqi politician Dr. Salah Al-Mukhtar, facts that control events.

Al-Mukhtar indicated that the political system disintegrated after it was floating over corruption, quotas, and dependencies, and was no longer able to collect its papers and needed only a strong (professional) push to remove it, stressing that the militias affiliated with Iran practically disintegrated and there were signs of widespread fighting, and nearly 90% of its elements leaked from its elements. After the picture became clear, the militia left this large number, and a large part of them joined the national uprising, and the result is that few numbers remain spirited and ready to flee when you find those who confront them strongly, with the exception of those who linked their fate to them and they are few symbols and are unable to cope with what will happen, especially since the strength You will find millions of worries Upscale carrying weapons behind it, and it will be proven in history that the next escape will be the largest and most rapid escape.

The Mukhtar clarified that eastern Israel, "Iran", does not originally have the ability to send a large army to Iraq for internal and external reasons, and this relies on officers, snipers, and only a few hundred inside Iraq, which are isolated numbers now and terrified of the black fate awaiting them. Especially since the Lebanese uprising expands and attracts a portion of the energies of Iranian colonialism to it, so its strength is dispersed and its weakness increases. More importantly, the Persian leaders know that Iraq will be chopper for them - not a cemetery - if they send large forces and they will not find the bodies of their soldiers because they will be chopped.

Al-Mukhtar pointed out that the internal situation in Iran has reached a dangerous stage of attrition, and the proof is the recent general uprising that included hundreds of cities awaiting an appropriate opportunity as a major international or regional event to overthrow the regime, stressing that the Iranian regional role exercised by the mullahs' regime is about to end after it was attached The destruction required in the main Arab countries, and it is time to put Iran between two tracks and cut its nuclear worm appendages and others, to complete the arrangement of the region.

Al-Mukhtar said: "The uprising now, and unlike the disintegration of the Iranian forces, has gained broader public support that includes all of Iraq. The role of the original tribal sheikhs who reject the Iranian invasion overwhelmed the sheikhs of the dollar after the hideous massacres carried out by Iranian militias, so the tribal position became essentially based on the demand for revenge, a position that will have an effect The largest in the next comprehensive collapse of the Persians’s regime, the Iranian regime has revealed the fact that it was hiding it, which is that it is hateful with extremism on all Iraqis, and what has been wiped out for more than a thousand martyrs and wounding more than twenty thousand with deep wounds and without compassion, is only conclusive evidence that convinced those who were hesitant or misleading that a thousand Q are the most dangerous enemy of the Arabs, the national project of the Persian fell in Iraq after losing what he saw as the basic Hadhanth, and ended up in practice and what is left of his dying bull kicked. "

Regarding the Arab position towards Iran now, Al-Mukhtar emphasized that it is better and this is reflected in the Arab media coverage of the Iraqi and Lebanese uprising. As for the international position, it is becoming more solid in rejecting Iranian colonial expansion and is reflected in the American and European positions, which helps to cause more disintegration in Tehran's ranks.

Abdul-Mahdi courted Iran to defend its proxies

A race against time in search of a solution to the crisis in Iraq

  • Baghdad - the statement, agencies
History: December 16, 2019

Various Iraqi political and parliamentary forces are trying to reset the hour of the constitutional deadline granted to the President of the Republic, Barham Salih, to nominate a new prime minister, by considering the beginning of the deadline from the time the Iraqi president received the official letter of mandate issued by Parliament, not from the date of its issuance, in an effort to win another two days, after A final agreement on the name of the prime minister, who will most likely hold a provisional government with limited files, faltered before going to early elections.

The Iraqi constitution provides for a period of 15 days to nominate a new head of government instead of the resigned, which the President of the Republic submits to Parliament for a vote on it, without explaining the consequences in the event of a breach of the constitutional deadline, which was considered by experts of the constitution another new gap added to the loopholes of the Iraqi constitution , And subject to the interpretations and interpretations of politicians.

It is scheduled to end the deadline of tomorrow, Tuesday, given that the book of Parliament that mandated the President of the Republic, Barham Salih, was issued on the second of this month, but political blocs and forces have been promoting, since yesterday morning, that the time limit starts from the arrival of the book to an office The Iraqi president, not from the date of its issuance, although the distance between the parliament office and the president’s office is two streets, the path between them requires five minutes and no more.

According to an Iraqi official, consultations and meetings have been going on since last night between the various political forces and blocs, and he confirmed that there are attempts in the meantime to reach an agreement to announce a political agreement directed primarily to the street, to announce that the next government is temporary, with the aim of persuading the protesters or those who refuse to nominate Muhammad Shia Al-Sudani to head the government, or any other name. The protesters place a refusal on any name that comes from the current parties, which is the same case for Moqtada Al-Sadr.

In addition, an Iraqi activist died Sunday of wounds sustained on Saturday night after he came under fire from unknown gunmen in a Baghdad neighborhood, according to a police source, to be the fourth activist to be killed in two weeks.

A police source said, "Unidentified gunmen shot the car of the activist, Muhammad Jassim Al-Dujaili, and wounded him in the back. He was taken to the hospital, where he died on Sunday morning."

Al-Dujaili's relatives indicated that, since the start of the demonstrations denouncing corruption and demanding to change the system of government in the country, he has always attended the Tahrir Square and worked to provide food and drink to the demonstrators.

Meanwhile, the resigned Iraqi Prime Minister, Adel Abdul Mahdi, expressed his condemnation of the inclusion of Iraqi leaders and personalities in sanctions lists, in reference to the recent US sanctions.

Abdul-Mahdi said in a statement: We have rejected and denounced the inclusion of names of Iraqi leaders and figures known for their history and political role by fighting ISIS in lists of sanctions and prohibitions by countries with which we have relations and agreements. He added: We also reject and denounce the insulting flags and pictures of leaders of countries with which we have relations and agreements by Iraqi demonstrators, or insulting other demonstrators to the names and pictures of well-known Iraqi personalities.

Observers believe that Abdul-Mahdi, with this condemnation, seeks to woo Iran's proxies by defending them from American sanctions in order to protect his influence.

Abdul-Mahdi said that all these practices are harmful to Iraq and its people, mix papers and lead to dangerous practices and results that are harmful to everyone, difficult to control.

Today, Monday, independent Iraqi politician Ibrahim Al-Sumaidaie sent an urgent message to Iraqi President Barham Salih to brief him on the conditions for assigning the head of the interim government.

Al-Sumaida's message came on the heels of an unusual political crisis in the country, represented by demonstrations and protests that led to the overthrow of the first government for the first time after the 2003 system based on the parliamentary experience.

Al-Sumaidaie said in his letter obtained by "Yassin Iraq", "Your Excellency, please inform you that the Iraqi constitution requires that the candidate of the largest (most numerous) bloc be nominated in the first post-election only according to the text of Article 76 \ First, and it is not required that he assign the president of the republic Candidate for the largest bloc in the second mandate 76 / third or in the third mandate 76 / fifth.

He added, "With this, the President of the Republic will have more flexibility in consulting to choose the second or third commissioner with the political blocs and active forces (demonstrators now)."

The message of al-Sumaida’i, a politician close to the door, opens the door wide for the Iraqi president to do the assignment without waiting for nomination from the largest bloc, which can bring a national figure who heads one of the Iraqi institutions to assume the position of Prime Minister of Iraq.

Saleh throws the ball into parliament

Earlier in the day, President of the Republic Barham Salih addressed Parliament Speaker Muhammad al-Halbousi to determine the largest parliamentary bloc to nominate the candidate for prime minister.

According to a document issued by the Office of the President of the Republic, Barham Salih, addressed to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, during which he stated that Prime Minister Adel Abdel Mahdi submitted his resignation to the House of Representatives, which in turn before the resignation, which requires returning to Article (76 / first).

According to the document, the memo article states (The President of the Republic assigns the largest number of parliamentary bloc candidates to form the Council of Ministers within fifteen days), noting that “For the purpose of assigning a new candidate to form the Cabinet, please inform us of the largest number of parliamentary blocs registered in the first session of the Council in Its first meeting.

The political developments in Iraq, which live in recent months, on the impact of a protesting street uprising that clings to regime change and rid the country of Iranian influence, raise many questions regarding the fate of American policy in this country, as there has been much talk about the possibility of the United States atoning its sin of paving the way In front of an Islamic political class that is mortgaging to Iran's dictates and has ruled the country since the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime in 2003.

BAGHDAD - Despite the cruelty of the fierce militia attack on the Iraqi uprising youth, they neither look nor expect the United States to extend the rapid rescue rope to them and their country due to the painful political and military balance left by US policies against the people of Iraq since the heinous implementation of the harshest economic siege that lasted four Ten years.

The Iraqi issue has been dependent for nearly three decades on international solutions and the decisions of the American administrations culminating in the military occupation in 2003 and beyond from a cheap partnership with the Iranian regime, which completely dominated Iraq in 2011 after the departure of the American forces by a decision from former President Barack Obama.

The political and cultural elites of Iraq had pointed out years ago to the grave American mistake added to the occupation, which is handing the government over to the Shiite political Islam group and then to Iran and not to the independent Iraqi liberal forces that were in the opposition ranks against Saddam Hussein's regime. This is one of the reasons that led to the catastrophic situation in Iraq.

The negative image of American engagement in Iraqi affairs does not negate many geopolitical facts that say that Iraq is strategically important for the United States and others with international influence, and this encourages many of the research community close to the American political decision to express attempts that they find necessary to press towards making adjustments in the American approach to Iraq and the region.

These circles believe that the interrelationship between the Iranian and Iraqi files has become more sensitive than before and that the backgrounds of the decision to hand rule in Iraq to the Shiite Islamists were a prelude to handing over rule to the Islamists within the Arab Spring movement in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya and then in Yemen, in order to end the role of Islam The politician and his parties in Arab life.

The grave American mistake added to the occupation after the toppling of Saddam Hussein’s regime is the handing over of power to Shi’ite political Islam groups and then to their ally Iran, not to independent Iraqi liberal forces.

These factors give political interpretations close to reality indicating that the Americans have serious arrangements whose full picture may not be clear for a new stage in dealing with the important Middle East arenas, especially Iraq.

Also, what is happening now from the political deterioration in this country may lead to chaos that not only harms the Iraqi people, but also has negative repercussions on the American strategy in the region more than it currently lives.

These indicators preceded a wide campaign of parties and militias calculated on Iran that exaggerate and weave imaginary stories about the American political and military activities in Iraq before and during the peaceful October uprising in order to justify some military attacks on American centers and military bases deployed in Iraq and in order to distort the patriotism of the street uprising and it is in all of that Express the growing concern in the Iranian regime that the uprising may reach important results.

A wide range of American experts and researchers find the need for the American administration to enter new challenges in Iraq that support the Iraqi popular movement.

The Washington Institute researcher (Michael Knights) says, "The US government must quickly resolve this issue and then act accordingly." There is a relatively clear way, and even if it may be dangerous, to move forward we must line up with the new generation of Iraqis and the middle Shiites within the religious establishment, and we must support the organized and non-violent change that culminates in a new electoral law and a new law for political parties and international monitoring. Effective in the upcoming elections. ”

Political scientist in Washington, Bilal Wahab, believes that "Americans have long lost interest in the democratic experiment in Iraq that they started more than fifteen years ago by abandoning the 'freedom agenda' which was the title of US policy in the Middle East in favor of a realistic policy focused on threats to Similar to the one that Iran poses, and while Washington has largely distanced itself from internal politics in Baghdad, the practice of Iraqi freedoms suddenly poses a profound strategic challenge to the Iranian regime.

The most visible American policy on the ground does not carry in the foreseeable future effective measures inside Iraq that go beyond political and media support for the Iraqi uprisings, whether through official statements that went to the aspirations of searching for new Iraqi political leaders to take charge of their country, or intensifying diplomatic efforts in the corridors of the United Nations and adopting Calls to escalate those efforts to more robust levels of expressing solidarity with the protesters in Iraq, and condemn the bloody repression of pro-Iranian armed militias backed by the power of the parties in Baghdad.

Observers rule out that the American policy in support of the current Iraqi people's uprising will go in proportion to the volume of blood being shed in the streets of Iraq, and they cannot expect an American position for change that will be strong and influential, similar to their obligations for two decades before 2003 in adopting protests by Shiite and Kurdish political groups when The American services provided facades for a formal Iraqi opposition, which they strongly adopted.

Washington to support this last facade issued a law in Congress in 1998 called the “Iraq Liberation Law” while a US bill was circulated in 2017 called “Preventing destabilization of Iraq’s security and stability.” He moved from the US House of Representatives to Congress and left for 2018 and 2019 without legislating A whirlwind of terror and fear within Iraqi parties and armed militias, and he has not seen the light of day until now.

The hot Iraq’s situation and the prospects for what will be obtained on the political and security levels puts questions again before the American responsibilities to correct its mistakes against the people of Iraq and help to get Iran out of this country.
