All they do is waste time. And should they approve someone today, there's another 30-day window for that person to build his cabinet. Then parliament has to approve. The next thing you know, it's time for their Christmas break. Who's got time for work, when you can vacation. Fools.

gregp Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Qusay al-Suhail Language Watch Edit Dr. Qusay Abdul Wahab al-Suhail is an Iraqi politician from the Sadrist Movement who is the current Minister of Higher Education in the Government of Adil Abdul-Mahdi.[1] BackgroundEdit He graduated from Baghdad University with an MSc and a PhD in Hydrology and went on to be an Assistant Professor at the University of Basrah.[2] Political activitiesEdit For the 2010 Iraqi parliamentary election, the Shiite Islamist National Iraqi Alliance split, with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki leading his own State of Law Coalition. The cross-sectarian Iraqiya party won the most seats but fell well short of a majority. The Sadrists significantly increased their number of MPs and became the second largest component of the NAI. After eight months of negotiations, a national unity government incorporating all the main blocs was agreed. An Iraqiya MP, Osama al-Nujaifi, was elected Speaker of the Council of Representatives, with al-Suhail elected his first deputy.[3] His election was seen as a sign that the Sadrists wanted to demonstrate that they had responsible professionals who were able to govern Iraq and move on from the insurgency against the United States army. He was also one of the first major politicians elected since the 2003 invasion of Iraq who was not from among the opposition politicians who organised themselves from exile under Saddam Hussein.[4] He was nominated as Minister for Higher Education by Prime Minister Adil Abdul Mahdi in October 2018, but was not approved by parliament due to disagreements between the Sadrists and the second largest bloc, Fatah.[5] Suhail was eventually approved by the Council of Representatives on 18 December 2018, after they agreed to allow parliament to vote on five further ministries which were "not shrouded in disagreements" - a reference to the Interior and Defence Ministers 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something to consider: Note which news organizations report the political crisis as originating entirely within Iraq, with no fault attributed to Iran. Also worth noting that Al Jazeera is Qatari, a country allied with Iran and Turkey. Qatari money influences a vast portion of global and American media, especially the Never-Trumpers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkeiller Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Hopefully, if he is one of Sadr's goons, they only have him for a few months to get the economy kick started with free elections no later than December. There is a shiite majority in Iraq. So, there will continue to be an internal struggle between shiite nationalists, pro-Iranian theocrats and others. Not sure if we will see more protests, but there is a lot of work to do and if he tries to kick the US out, he won't last long. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shafaq News / A source in the 7-party Committee, which includes Shiite political forces revealed on Sunday, that there is an agreement within the committee to nominate a close member to Nuri al-Maliki, leader of the State of Law coalition, Naim al-Suhail as a prime minister. Who nominated this guy? The second constitutional deadline for selecting a candidate for prime minister in Iraq will end tomorrow, Monday. The main Shiite leaderships Last week, as a seven-party committee was formed that includes all the Shiite parliamentary blocs represented in the parliament to discuss the conduct of more than 31 candidates for the position, provided that one of them is agreed to be presented to the President of the Republic, Barham Saleh for the purpose of assigning him. Saleh will never agree! Good thing for that!!! The source told Shafaq News that , "The Seven- Party Committee reached a preliminary agreement to nominate Naim Al-Suhail as prime minister, but the dialogues are still ongoing and will not stop." He added, "If the committee does not reach a final agreement to nominate Al-Suhail and present his officially to the President of the Republic, Barham Saleh, then the Seven –party Committee will present the head of the intelligence service, Mustafa Al-Kazemi to fill the position." Good! He said, "We expect that Al-Kazemi is the favorite, although there is agreement on Al-Suhail." 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharp disputes delay the candidate's announcement and expectations for resolving the file today 16/03/2020 Political sources close to the Seven Committee said on Monday that the sharp differences between the political blocs delayed the announcement of the candidate to head the government. The sources said, "Non-minor differences delayed the announcement of the name of the new taxpayer despite the narrowing of options to three names, after objections appeared on the name of the candidate for the position, Naim al-Suhail by one of the prominent political blocs representing the committee and the arrival of an explanation from the Iraqi Accountability and Justice Commission indicating that Another candidate, a current university president, had ties to the dissolved Baath Party, which is prevented by the new constitution. " She emphasized, "Other names such as Mustafa Al-Kazemi and Ali Al-Shukri are still on the table in light of the insistence of some components of the Seven Committee on assigning a person from the technocrats to be president of the university." He pointed out, "The representatives in the committee made contact with the leaders of their blocs, and matters may be resolved on Monday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
