4/9/2020 23:55:30

 

 

The former commissioner of the Prime Minister, Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi, saw that the new commissioner, Mustafa Al-Kazemi, should take the initiative to appoint the ministers on the basis of competence and integrity.

Allawi said in a series of tweets on his account on Twitter: "Brother Mustafa Al-Kazemi before a great test. Today, Brother Mustafa Al-Kazemi was nominated for the position of Prime Minister."

He added: "It is a difficult and not easy task in this important historical detail of the history of Iraq. It is at a crossroads that either it goes on the path of quotas in continuation of the approach of the past seventeen years, and the ministries are distributed to various political parties with their economic committees, so the country's resources are shared on The political class does not achieve tangible achievement on the ground, so Iraq will continue in this case to slip into the shafts of the unknown, especially after the escalation of the Koruna and the decline in oil prices and the government's inability to pay pensions after a few months."

He continued: "Either Brother Mustafa Al-Kazemi decides to take the initiative, form a cabinet, and appoint ministers on the basis of competence, integrity, and sincerity. In this case, he may face difficulties as I myself have faced, but he will be in a better position. There is a relative difficulty that the political class may face if it wants to continue the quota method. In particular, after more than five months have passed since successive failures by the political class in forming the government."

He concluded by saying: "I hope from Brother Mustafa Al-Kazemi that he takes the right decision before it is too late and pray to God for him success."

Hezbullah Brigades attack Al-Kazemi's mandate fiercely, describing it as a "conspiracy" and a "suspicious deal"

 

 

 

10th April, 2020

 

 

Today, Friday, the Hezbollah Brigades attacked Mustafa Al-Kazimi's mandate to form the government, ferociously, describing the "conspiracy" and "suspicious deal".

In a statement, "Al-Ikhbaria" received a copy of it, she said, "It will not calm us down until we see those involved in the blood of the martyrs succeeding the bars of justice."

The following is the text of the statement:

"It is unfortunate that the political reality in Iraq has reached this level of inferiority, and that the political forces that represent the majority deal with this surrender in a sensitive issue that does not accept compromise.

The consensus on the nomination of a suspicious personality to which the standards do not apply, and in this ceremonial form, is a waste of the rights and sacrifices of the people, and a betrayal of the history of Iraq.

Also, the attempt of the political forces to cross this stage by submitting to the pressure of the enemies, surrender to their choices, and falling into the trap of the adventurous boys who are caught in the corridors of disorganization, the incompetence of incompetence, the incompetence of disorganization, the incompetence of disorientation

We say it to God purely, and we mean by it the face of the generous and do not fear in it a blame blame; we refuse to be part of this conspiracy, whatever the supporting and supportive parties.

It would have been better for these forces to take a serious and sincere stance, to work on the assignment of a sincere patriotic personality, to which the standards that serve this evil people would apply to the evil people.

We said it and repeat it: This conspiracy is a declaration of war against the Iraqi people; and the loyal and patriotic citizens of this country must take their usual role in rejecting this disastrous deal. And we will not stop chasing those involved in the blood of the martyrs and the leaders of the victory, and you will not rest for us until we see them behind the bars of justice, and God is the God of God.

The Prime Minister-designate .. in front of 6 thorny files, can he break it?

 

 

10th April, 2020

Mustafa Al-Kazemi is the third in charge of forming the Iraqi government, after the failure of the first taxpayer, Mohammed Tawfiq Allawi, to pass his government in Parliament, and the second taxpayer’s Adnan Al-Zarfi’s apology, even before his arrival in Parliament. Regardless of my experiences of Allawi and Al-Zarfi, or perhaps because of the political pressure caused by the two experiences, specialists expect that Al-Kazemi’s chances of passing his cabinet will be greater.

The former official in charge of government formation, Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi, said in a letter to Al-Kazemi that “at a crossroads, he either goes on the path of quotas, in continuation of the approach of the past seventeen years, and the ministries are distributed among the various political parties with their economic committees, so the country’s resources are shared among the political class and there is no achievement Tangible on the ground or take the initiative and form the ministry and appoint the ministers on the basis of competence, integrity and sincerity and in this case he may face difficulties as I myself have faced, but he will be in a better position.  But unlike al-Zarfi and Allawi, both of whom were assigned in small rooms in the presidential palace, and in the presence of unimportant politicians, al-Kazimi's assignment, which was conducted in a main hall in the Peace Palace, was attended by leaders of blocs such as Haider al-Abadi, Ammar al-Hakim, Khamis al-Khanjar and others, which means that his assignment was lucky. With clear political support.

However, Al-Kazemi’s mission will not be easy, says Abbas Future’s Director of the Future of Iraq Initiative at the Atlantic Council in an article posted on the Foundation’s website, in addition to dealing with the economic challenge and the COVID-19 epidemic, Al-Kazemi is expected to pursue a strong reform agenda and prepare for elections credible, and will include planning and population for the next census, and put the finishing touches on the election law, the reform of the electoral Commission". "It is expected to regain his government balance lost between Iraq's regional and international policy, especially the challenge of being caught in the crossfire in a dispute American who Which Rani is escalating.” But these expectations are somewhat optimistic, as the challenges Kazem mentioned, along with others, may be more complex than the prime minister-designate’s ability to solve. 

The economy

With the significant drop in oil prices, Iraq faces a major problem that may prevent it from paying the salaries of its 6.5 million employees and retirees, according to statements made by the Minister of Finance in mid-2019.Global oil prices have fallen to the lowest level in 18 years, after demand has decreased On the product due to the Corona epidemic, and also because of a "price war" between Saudi Arabia and Russia that dumped markets. Without salaries, the market could be crippled in Iraq. But the problem may be much deeper, according to economists.

The burden of government expenses was very heavy on Iraq even before the oil crisis, and the solution was to reduce it, but the rentier Iraqi financial system prevents this, so the other solution was to float the dinar, according to these experts. Floating a dinar means abolishing state support for the currency by selling it at subsidized prices in the exchange market, which did not happen. According to these economists, "the economic crisis will be the most important thing facing the Prime Minister-designate," especially at a time when the country faces great potential for recession due to the disruption of measures to prevent the spread of Corona disease, for economic life.

The conflict between the United States and Iran

Before the end of last year began the American-Iranian tension out of control, and the escalation reached dangerous borders after the killing of the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, Qassem Soleimani, with an American strike in early January, in response to the bombing of American camps. Iran responded by bombing a US base in Iraq with ballistic missiles, and the bombing of US bases in Iraq continued until recently, before the United States moved its soldiers to two main bases in the west of the country. It said it would deploy Patriot missiles to protect these bases. According to Iraqi journalist Ahmed Hussein, the next Iraqi prime minister will have to walk with caution in the "minefields of conflicting international wills in Iraq, especially after the weak stances of his predecessor, Adel Abdul-Mahdi, who issued statements condemning the actions of the combatants, without being able to control the movement which one of them".

The Fugitive Weapon

Al-Kazemi pledged to confine arms to the state. In Iraq, it has armed groups, armed with up to tanks, heavy artillery and surface-to-surface missiles. A source close to Al-Kazemi said, "The Prime Minister, in his capacity as Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces, will place all security services under his command, including the army, police, popular army, and peshmerga, before their legal responsibility." The source, who requested not to be named, added, "There will be a follow-up of fugitive and leaked weapons, and the parties that possess them, and no party not subject to the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces will be allowed to possess weapons." "The potential spoiler (of the Al-Kazemi government) here is the armed groups that may not see the proposed US-Iraqi dialogue on June 10-11 as being in the Its interest."

Corona

In addition to the devastating health effect of the virus, Corona has a similar effect on the economy and public life. The United States and Europe have lost more than a trillion dollars so far because of the virus, and there are expectations that this loss will double. In Iraq, the country is under strict curfew to try to control the spread of the disease, and according to the Iraqi Ministry of Health, more than 1,200 injuries and 69 deaths have been recorded in the country so far. In light of the oil crisis, the blow to the already weak Iraqi private sector, and the lack of medical equipment, hospitals and respirators, the next prime minister will face a difficult health challenge.

A source close to Al-Kazemi, “The Prime Minister will work to mobilize all available efforts to confront the epidemic, the efforts of health cadres, security cadres, civil society organizations and voluntary bodies. Any valuable initiative that contributes to fighting the epidemic will be supported by a body, institution or person, and there will be allocations Finance to develop the work of medical personnel, and to compensate those affected by the curfew. But the director of the National Institute for the Development of the South, Ramadan Al-Badran, said, "The Corona Challenge is a combination of mixed, healthy, societal, and economic challenges, and the problem is how to tackle the epidemic in light of a severe economic crisis." He continues that "Al-Kazemi needs big and firm decisions and decisions in which he needs many minds, objective and wise decisions and get consensus from the scientific and political aspects."

Political accommodation 

The political consensus produced the government of Adel Abdul Mahdi, and before that the Abadi government, and the two, like Al-Kazemi, did not qualify for the position through the ballot box, but rather with political will. While the Al-Abadi Ministry’s circumstance was exceptional because of the ISIS challenge, political forces did not explicitly support Abdul Mahdi when his government came under the challenge of the demonstrations. Rather, one of those who brought him to power, Muqtada al-Sadr, turned against him explicitly when his popular movement participated in the demonstrations, and he began In the nomination of alternative names for Abdel-Mahdi. Without a political bloc, it will be difficult for Al-Kazemi to impose difficult decisions on parliament or at least to negotiate their implementation.

The demonstrators and the street

Months ago, Al-Kazemi's name emerged as a candidate for prime minister, and the protesters responded quickly, bearing pictures of him bearing an X in the square, as a sign of the protesters' refusal to nominate him. Immediately after the announcement of his assignment, the remaining demonstrators, whom Corona dispersed, gathered quickly, to announce his rejection of the scene. While the Corona virus has virtually ended the demonstrations, Iraqi activists are coordinating a new round "after getting rid of the virus." During this period, Iraqi activist Muhannad Jawad says, "It may be a blessing for Al-Kazemi if he exploits it to win the street." Weak, and unstable political situation."  The demonstrators are demanding the preparation of early elections, the reform of the electoral law, and the presentation of the killers of the demonstrators to the judiciary, "as a criterion for their withdrawal from the squares."

Al-Kazemi did not mention any of these demands in his acceptance letter to the commission, unlike the previous commissioner, Adnan Zarfi, who also mentioned these demands in his letter of apology for the assignment, hinting that it is one of the reasons for his rejection by the political blocs.

"Hezbollah": Al-Kazemi is a suspicious figure and his candidacy is "declaration of war"

 

Finally, this is what I've been waiting to see. This is how we know Iraq has made a worthy selection.

 

There is no compromise with these fanatics, and this cannot end without a theocratic militant ass stomping.
