bkeiller Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 Al-Zrafi pledges to Iraq "without quotas" and a weapon in the hands of the state ABU DHABI - (Arab News Agency, Sky News): The Iraqi Prime Minister-designate Adnan Al-Zorfi said that he will be keen to prepare for fair, free and transparent elections within a maximum period of one year after the formation of the next government. Al-Zrafi pledged in his first speech after his assignment, late, on Tuesday, to form a government away from sectarian and partisan quotas, considering that the assignment placed upon him "a great historical responsibility." He also pledged to work to limit the survival of weapons in the hands of the state, end all armed manifestations and impose the authority of the state, and said that the state’s weapon will not be carried against the people, but rather will be to protect it and maintain the borders of Iraq. Al-Zorfi called for launching an immediate dialogue with the peaceful demonstrators, stressing the follow-up files of the investigation into the events of the demonstrations, and holding those responsible for violence against the peaceful demonstrators and security forces accountable. On the other hand, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that the Iraqi Prime Minister will have the support of Washington and the international community "if he will support the sovereignty of Iraq", distance himself from corruption and protect human rights, among other things. And the Iraqi President, Barham Salih Al-Zorfi, was appointed, on Tuesday, to head the Council of Ministers, after unrest and stagnation for several months. https://alwatannews.net/article/871733/Arab/الزرفي-يتعهد-بعراق-بلا-محاصصة-وسلاح-بيد-الدولة 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6ly410 Posted March 20, 2020 Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 03/1920 2020 18:12 http://almasalah.com/ar/news/189658 Masoud Barzani refuses to receive Al-Zarfi: There is no discussion about forming a government without the approval of the Shiite leaders Baghdad / Obelisk: Sources told "Obelisk", Thursday, March 19, 2020, that the head of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Massoud Barzani, refused to receive Zarfi and to engage in any discussion on forming a government without the approval of Shiite leaders. The sources said, that Masoud Barzani apologized for receiving Al-Zarfi, stressing that Barzani refused to engage in any discussion or dialogue regarding the formation of the government without the approval of the Shiite leaders. The sources added that Masoud Barzani stressed the necessity of maintaining the relationship and partnership with the Shiite component and its frightening political leaders. This was explained by the President of the Supreme Judicial Council, Wednesday, March 18, 2020, about the appointment of Adnan Al-Zrafi to head the government by President Barham Saleh of a violation of the constitution, considering that the Federal Court’s decision in this regard is invalid. Sources revealed a meeting held on Thursday evening, March 19, 2020, between the Shiite forces at the home of the leader of the al-Hikma Movement, Ammar al-Hakim, which aims to withdraw support for Adnan al-Zarfi and assign another person to replace him. The sources said that the forces of conquest with the rule of law and virtue, in addition to the National Congress Party, and in the presence of the head of the Popular Mobilization Committee, Faleh al-Fayyad, will hold a meeting with Ammar al-Hakim at his home Thursday evening. The meeting aims, according to the obelisk sources, to reject the commission and nominate another person in his place. The latest repercussions resulting from the assignment of the head of the parliamentary victory bloc, Adnan al-Zarfi, Thursday, March 19, 2020, revealed that the negotiating tracks expect a forthcoming and sure failure of Al-Zrafi to obtain a consensus to pass his government in Parliament, despite the temptations he presented to the various blocs in his contacts. With her, they tried to distribute positions on the sizes of parties ’wills, and they were required to negotiate secrecy in an attempt to cover up the quotas that Al-Zrafi intends to paint with a new color, but it remains the same, by choosing“ technocrats ”but“ partisans ”. The sources said that Al-Zrafi works in contrast to the withdrawer, Muhammad Allawi, who has time against the dictates of the blocs. The rapid developments indicate that the regional support that al-Zarfi was expecting did not happen, and will not happen, after the regional powers and the United States realized that al-Zorfi is causing a great division in the Iraqi interior, and angering the crowd factions and making them in direct confrontation with their opponents and the American presence. In Iraq, which prompted the American authorities to remove the cover from any support for al-Zorfi, and to make the political process go automatically, except for what the US Secretary of State declared in support of the upcoming al-Zorfi government, which is a protocol statement Pompeo made with every new prime minister, which happened with Muhammad Allawi, too. The coming hours reveal a more solid determination of the Shiite forces not to pass Al-Zarfi, who will announce his apology for forming the government, despite his great efforts in satisfying the protesters with ministerial portfolios and very special interests. Meanwhile, Shiite forces have decided to work on an urgent project to remove Barham Saleh from his position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
