Baghdad today - Baghdad 

 

US President's Special Envoy, Donald Trump, for Syria and the International Alliance, James Jeffrey, Thursday (January 23, 2020), made the first US comment on the crisis of naming a new prime minister for Iraq. 

Jeffrey said in a press conference, "There is mobility in the Iraqi street, and Iraqis have to decide who chooses him as prime minister and does not enter the United States in Iraqi affairs."

He added, "Addressing the issue of the candidates for prime minister in Iraq is a matter for the Iraqis alone, and what concerns us is that a new Iraqi government that is subject to Iran does not come."

Concerning the presence of the American forces in Iraq, Jeffrey said, "Our presence in Iraq came with the desire of the Iraqi government and our situation and our future in the country is linked to a decision from Baghdad," noting that "the operations of the international coalition in Iraq are currently suspended," noting that "the international coalition exchanges information with Iraqis about confronting ISIS. "

He noted that "the international coalition agreement with the Iraqi authorities is to stay until the elimination of ISIS," stressing that "our efforts in the war against ISIS must continue and we will not relent in their war."

Jeffrey said: "We are ready to discuss with the Iraqi government and agree on the status of American forces," noting that "our mission in Iraq came according to an agreement concluded in 2014 and its goal is to eliminate the threat of ISIS."

The US President's envoy added: "We have suffered 11 attacks in Iraq since storming the vicinity of the American embassy." 

He went on to say: "What is important for us is that a new Iraqi government subject to Iran does not come and the issue is purely an Iraqi affair," noting that "there is mobility in the street and that the Iraqis have to decide who they choose as prime minister and do not enter the United States in Iraqi affairs."

He explained, "Addressing the issue of candidates for prime minister in Iraq is a matter for Iraqis alone."

On Sunday (January 05, 2020), the House of Representatives voted in an extraordinary session on the departure of all foreign and American forces from Iraq, the abolition of the role of the international coalition in Iraq, as well as the abolition of the security agreement with the United States of America, by the Iraqi government.

Baghdad-Iraq today:

 

The leader of the State of Law coalition, Saad Al-Muttalabi, said on Thursday that the crisis of naming the new prime minister for the transitional government, instead of the government of resigned prime minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi, may need an international opinion, especially with the lack of signs of its internal solutions.

Al-Muttalabi stated that "the dispute over the issue of choosing the new prime minister still exists between the political blocs, which makes the nomination of the new president subject to the length of time, especially with the lack of signs of a solution to this crisis."

He added that "the solution to the crisis may be only through an international opinion, and as I believe the President of the Republic, Barham Salih, will return to the capital after the conclusion of his visit to Davos with this opinion," noting that "any American opinion in this regard will work by the Iranian side to fail him, and this is what It will make the crisis unresolved as the political disputes deepen further.

Iraq: The efforts to choose a new prime minister failed to present several scenarios, including internationalization

 

- 3 Hours Ago
 

368-3-1.jpg

 

With the anticipation of the return of Iraqi President Barham Saleh to Baghdad, after the end of the Davos Forum in Switzerland, observers and politicians will present several scenarios in the event that the attempt to assign a new prime minister fails, after more than a full month after entering the country a state of constitutional void, with which many joints were disrupted in The state, including not approving the budget for the current year, and freezing various projects and decisions that require the existence of a government to pass it, instead of the current caretaker government headed by Adel Abdul Mahdi.

It was scheduled that, on the evening of last Tuesday, in the light of a political agreement, Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi be assigned to form a new government, but sharp differences prevented this, according to what Iraqi political and parliamentary sources confirmed, indicating that it was agreed to postpone the assignment step until Barham's return. Valid from Davos, on Friday or Saturday.

Besides Allawi, Mustafa Al-Kazemi and Ali Shukri also stand out. The first occupies the position of the head of the intelligence service, and the second is the chief adviser to the Presidential Diwan, who also gave their names after the exclusion of more than 10 personalities so far, due to the rejection of the demonstrators or other political blocs to them, such as Muhammad Shi'a al-Sudani, Qusay al-Suhail, Asaad al-Eidani, Rahim al-Aqili, and Faeq Sheikh Ali, and others.

"Osman:
Iraq will not come out of this crisis only through the convening of a special international conference"

According to political sources in the Iraqi capital Baghdad, the hopes pinned on the return of Saleh and resolving current disputes quickly, with the agreement also provides that the government is a government one year before going for early parliamentary elections.

The same sources added to "Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed" today, Thursday, that "the current fears are to provoke the street along the crisis and not resolve it, or to register new victims, in a way that gives cover or an excuse to international parties to internationalize Iraqi demonstrations or impose measures against Iraq."

On the other hand, the leader of the Kurdistan Alliance and former deputy in the parliament, Mahmoud Othman, told Al-Jadeed Al-Jadeed that “the issue of choosing a new prime minister depends on the Iraqi political blocs themselves, and they cannot get out of the crisis, because they are holding on to power, and they cannot agree For anyone. ”

Othman stressed that "there is no consensus, signs, or movements towards resolving the crisis. The blocs have become enemies among themselves because of the conflict of interests, and the file is heading towards a dead end."

He pointed out that “even if the political blocs choose a prime minister, such as Muhammad Allawi or others, he cannot provide anything, and he will not be able to solve any crisis, he or others, especially with the absence of political blocs supporting him, unless a person is appointed He has the support of the blocs and the demonstrators, and this is difficult if not impossible, so the road has become blocked and may reach an international solution.

And Othman warned that "if things continue as they are now, I see that Iraq will not get out of this crisis except through holding an international conference on Iraq, as happened in Lebanon and Libya," stressing that "there is a responsibility on the United Nations to Pushing in that direction. ”

He explained: "I expect Iraq to go towards the international conference, because the Iraq file is complicated, because Iran has strong and significant influence, and many groups in Iraq, and Washington have influence, and other countries have influence, and in the event that countries agree to hold an international conference that may free the crisis, Especially since the Iraqi authorities cannot offer any solutions out of them.

He pointed out that "if the countries agreed to hold the conference, the various Iraqi blocs among them will be forced to accept it and its outputs."

And political parties confirm the difficulty out of the crisis of nominating a person for the post of prime minister, because of the depth of the dispute between the blocs.

The head of the Rafidain Parliamentary Bloc, Deputy Yonadam Kanna, said that "the crisis of naming a new Prime Minister continues until further notice, due to the failure of the blocs to put forward an acceptable candidate."

He stressed, in a press statement, that "everyone is looking for their own interests, so the discussions on this matter are still very stalled."

On the other hand, Mahdi Taqi, deputy of the "Al-Fath" coalition, warned Thursday, of what he described as "Iraq going to the unknown in the event that the political forces did not succeed in finding the appropriate candidate to head the government," explaining, in a statement, that "the current stage requires everyone to abdicate for the sake of Choosing a strong personality for the prime minister who will be able to impose the prestige of the state, "warning that" the country is going through a real crisis that may push everyone towards the unknown, in light of the lack of agreement on a non-dialectical figure. "

Taqi added that "the insistence of some may worsen the situation further, and may foreshadow a real catastrophe that affects everyone," pointing out that "the millions of demonstrations are capable of resolving a personality to manage the interim phase until the early elections are completed."

Observers believe that the big political blocs impede the file of choosing a new prime minister, to "buy time", betting that the demonstrations will fade or their momentum will decrease.
The Iraqi political expert, Ahmad Al-Hamdani, told Al-Jadeed Al-Jadeed today, Thursday, that "the political forces have proven that they are not ready to give up their gains or positions, and even their current privileges that they have drawn for themselves after 2003, so the Iraqis today consider themselves before a multiple dictatorial regime." The parties possess regular forces, and at the same time each party has its own faction or armed wing, which also practices repression. ”

Al-Hamdani considered that "the continuation of the situation as it is, and with the continued state of denial and repression by the authorities, it may prompt the movement of the file and its internationalization, or to weaken the legitimacy of the regime in Iraq with the international community," considering that "the Iraqi crisis needs only concessions made The political forces of the people who are the first source of legitimacy. ”
