Khazali rules out a "Shiite Shiite" war in Iraq and threatens America with an open war

Khazali confirmed his refusal to re-select Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi for the post again (Al-Jazeera)
20/1/2022
 

Qais al-Khazali, Secretary-General of the Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq movement in Iraq, ruled out the possibility of a "Shiite Shiite" war, against the backdrop of the escalating tension between the Sadrist bloc led by Muqtada al-Sadr and what is known as the coordinating framework that includes other prominent Shiite forces regarding the form of the new government and the results of the parliamentary elections that took place in The tenth of last October.

Khazali said - in an interview with the British Persian-language BBC channel (BBC) - that he has information that raises concerns about the existence of international projects and wills that want to exploit the election results to push for Shiite fighting, and said that he excludes this from happening because of the presence of those he described as wise. The wise and the religious reference in Najaf.
Khazali indicated that he does not rule out the occurrence of convulsions and friction between the Shiite parties, pointing out that the next government will not succeed in its work due to the complexities of the political situation in the country.

Khazali confirmed his refusal to re-choice Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi for the position again, but if Al-Sadr decides to choose him, he must bear responsibility for the success or failure of this choice, according to him.

Khazali asked, "What is the benefit of holding early elections if 3 presidents retain their positions?", and stressed that their decision "is independent and stems from the internal interest, and the congratulations of the Iranian Parliament Speaker to his Iraqi counterpart, Muhammad al-Halbousi on the occasion of his re-election as Speaker of the Iraqi Parliament" will not change their position in rejecting the election results.

In response to a question about the deadline for the withdrawal of US combat forces from Iraq set by some Shiite factions - which is on December 31, 2021 - Khazali said that there is no “deadline” for the Americans, but “as long as the occupation exists, the resistance also exists.” ".

Khazali threatened the US forces with "open war" if they responded to the attacks they are being exposed to in Iraq, by bombing Shiite armed factions affiliated with the Popular Mobilization.

He said, "We can defend ourselves and Iran can defend itself, if the American forces respond more violently... to a faction of the factions or one of the sectors of the popular mobilization, the response to it is ready with an escalation at the highest level, and if America responds with a more response, we will respond with a higher level."

He revealed that many Shiite factions affiliated with what he described as the resistance are now able to manufacture their weapons, especially drones, so if the commander of the Quds Force in the Revolutionary Guards, Ismail Qaani, decides one day to cut support - if any - this will not affect the capabilities of the factions.

It appears that Khazali is going to be a thorn in the side of Sadr & the US, and will continue to disrupt progress as a pro-Iran Shiite leader.

I find it interesting just by the way the dress code is. How can you negotiate with people that have not or want not, to be more modern. Not that that is everything. 
I have said for years you can not negotiate with terrorists or Democrats. Now I think I can add to that list. Men who where what ever they call their thingys on their heads, not hats, and long dress type things. It’s like being trapped in a time warp.

Religious nuts are the hardest to deal with, their mindset has no grounding in logic or reality. What you say doesn’t have to make sense. The radical views that they hold are entrenched. I witnessed it in my own life having dealt with many angry people who were traditionalists when it came to their beliefs. Not about God’s love just about Their legalistic views of God. Wild

Shafaq News/ Prominent political forces instructed their deputies not to make statements to the press in order to contain the escalating political crisis and the resulting tensions against the backdrop of the recent parliamentary elections.

 

This was revealed by deputies in the Iraqi parliament about different political blocs during their conversation with Shafak News Agency correspondent.

 

According to the deputies, the Sadrist bloc, the Progress Alliance, the Kurdistan Democratic Party, the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, the Al-Fateh Alliance, and the State of Law coalition asked their deputies to take a position of "media silence" not to make any statements to journalists in order to contain the tensions and the political crisis in the country.

 

They added that the "media silence" will continue until the issuance of a decision by the Federal Court to stop the work of the Presidency of the Parliament and the end of the political crisis related to the selection of the President of the Republic and the candidate for the post of Prime Minister.

 

Iraq has been experiencing a political crisis since the early parliamentary elections were held last October, after prominent Shiite forces within the "coordinating framework" objected to the results, in addition to deep differences between the political forces over the formation of the next government.

 

The crisis was punctuated by tensions and violence, represented by the attempt to assassinate Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi and targeting the offices of political parties in Baghdad and Kirkuk.

 Baghdad: Omar Abdul Latif
 
Amid the escalation of media statements and speculation about the candidate for the position of the next prime minister in charge of forming the government, the coordinating framework confirmed that this personality would be far from the names presented previously, ruling out that he would accept the exclusion of the head of the State of Law coalition, Nuri al-Maliki, for an alliance with the Sadrist movement.
Member of the framework, Representative of the State of Law, Muhammad Al-Ziyadi, said: "The coordinating framework is determined to form a consensual government that includes all political forces."
He added that "if the Federal Court decides to invalidate the session, the parliament speaker will be re-elected and new constitutional times will be set," noting that "the course of the first session confused the political process and constitutional timings."
He pointed out that "the coordination and the current did not agree on candidates for the position of prime minister, and that the next prime minister will be far from the names put forward previously."
In turn, a member of the leadership framework in the Al-Fateh Alliance, Mukhtar Al-Moussawi, said: "The State of Law coalition is part of the Coordination Framework Alliance, and this important part cannot be abandoned, just as nation-building and reform cannot be achieved by excluding others."
He added that "it is unlikely that the State of Law coalition (and its leader, Nuri al-Maliki) will be excluded from the framework coalition," noting that "the country and the political process will not depend on anyone, so everyone must reject differences and make Iraq's interest a priority."

Al-Kazemi returns to the fore as a "strong" candidate to head the next government

Al-Kazemi returns to the fore as a "strong" candidate to head the next government

Although the position of the leader of the "Sadr movement" Muqtada al-Sadr was not clear in terms of the talks held with him by the commander of the Iranian "Quds Force" Ismail Qaani, the position of al-Sadr did not budge, according to the ongoing movement between the "Sadr movement" and the "coordinating framework", in terms of accepting some of the Coordination framework only. Al-Sadr, who used to express his position regarding his adherence to the government of the national majority when meeting any official or delegation, is still the master of silence for him, especially after his meeting with Qaani. But he violently attacked what he called "the prosecutor of the resistance", against the backdrop of the attack on the headquarters of the second deputy speaker of parliament, Shakhwan Abdullah, in Kirkuk.
According to political observers, Sadr's violent attack on the armed factions; None of which claimed responsibility for a series of attacks that included the headquarters of Sadr's allies from the Sunnis ("Progress" and "Azm") and the Kurds (the Kurdistan Democratic Party), which means that Sadr is still seeking to include those he described in a previous tweet on Twitter as “He still thinks well of them.” What is meant by that is the “Al-Fateh Alliance” led by Hadi Al-Amiri.
on their part; The forces of the “coordinating framework” (which includes several Shiite forces whose results varied in the elections, namely: “Al-Fateh Alliance”, “State of Law”, “The Wisdom Movement”, “Victory”, “National Contract” and “Supreme Council”) are still continuing. Hold almost daily meetings, but without issuing a statement as was the case in previous meetings. Even a few days before the visit of Qaani and the Lebanese Wajih Kawtharani, responsible for the Iraqi file in the Lebanese “Hezbollah”, the forces of the “coordinating framework” were expressing their positions in an official statement after each meeting, summarizing that the position of the forces of the “coordinating framework” is unified on all issues related to the formation of the next government. But that has changed over the last four days; Since the start of a meeting of the leaders of the “framework” is announced, the outcomes of the meeting remain confidential, while the leaks begin either through media close to one of the framework's parties, or through leaders in these alliances. However, according to information obtained by Asharq Al-Awsat from close sources, “the (framework) forces are in a critical situation; Especially since al-Sadr's position did not budge from adopting not only the idea of a majority government; Rather, his absolute rejection of the accession of all forces (the framework) to this government, by his insistence on the exclusion of the leader (coalition of state law) Nuri al-Maliki. According to the same sources; “The forces of (the coordinating framework), although they see that the exclusion of al-Maliki, who has 34 seats, which is about half of the seats (the coordinating framework); Which means that the forces (the framework) if they agreed to exclude al-Maliki from among their ranks; Its position will be weak regarding the cohesion of (the Sadr bloc), which has 75 deputies in Parliament.” According to the same sources; “The forces of (the coordinating framework), although they see that the exclusion of al-Maliki, who has 34 seats, which is about half of the seats (the coordinating framework); Which means that the forces (the framework) if they agreed to exclude al-Maliki from among their ranks; Its position will be weak regarding the cohesion of (the Sadr bloc), which has 75 deputies in Parliament.” According to the same sources; “The forces of (the coordinating framework), although they see that the exclusion of al-Maliki, who has 34 seats, which is about half of the seats (the coordinating framework); Which means that the forces (the framework) if they agreed to exclude al-Maliki from among their ranks; Its position will be weak regarding the cohesion of (the Sadr bloc), which has 75 deputies in Parliament.”
While the idea of distributing a number of representatives of the State of Law Coalition to the forces of the “coordinating framework” as a way out to resolve the crisis between the “current” and the “framework” as long as the position of al-Sadr appears personally towards al-Maliki without his coalition, the representative of the State Law» Dhurgham al-Maliki denied the existence of such an idea. Al-Maliki said in a statement that “(The State of Law Coalition) represents the main force within the (framework) because of the number of parliamentary seats it possesses, which reached 35 after two minorities joined it,” denying that “there is an idea to distribute a number of deputies ( The rule of law) over the rest of the forces of the (coordinating framework) as a way out to resolve the crisis between (the framework) and (the current). Al-Maliki explained that "the State of Law coalition is coherent and organized under the tent of the (coordinating framework)", stressing that "the forces of the (framework) are coherent as well, and there is no withdrawal or alliance of any of its forces outside (the framework)."
According to these statements and other opinions expressed under different names; This in itself means that there are differences within the "framework" forces, but they have not been made public so far, while al-Sadr's position remains the same.
According to this political movement; It is among the positions and opinions that all of this has repercussions on the personalities nominated for the next government. Among them is the current Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi. At a time when there was a veto regarding the three presidencies (the republic, ministers and parliament), the election of Muhammad al-Halbousi for a second term to head the parliament and the nomination of the current president, Barham Salih, himself for a second term practically dropped this veto, while the position of the prime minister remained dependent on the major bloc. . While the forces of the "coordinating framework" presented themselves as the ones that would form the largest bloc and put forward their candidates for prime minister.

Intensive movement to resolve alliances

Sunday 23 January 2022 133Intensive movement to resolve alliances

 
 Baghdad: Muhannad Abd al-Wahhab 
 
Observers and members of some political currents stated that there is an intense movement by the main political forces to resolve the file of alliances between them during the next two days, indicating that this movement is trying to anticipate the decision of the Federal Supreme Court regarding the constitutionality of the first session of Parliament, at a time when the head of the State of Law coalition, Nuri, confirmed Al-Maliki, yesterday, Saturday, the cohesion of the coordinating framework forces between them.
Al-Maliki said in a tweet on "Twitter": "The coordination framework is strong and coherent, its position is unified, and its practical ideas for forming the government and managing the state are based on partnership and the integration of the components in it all under the roof of the constitution." or not), and he is keen that all parties meet in consensual coalition formations to prevent any case of deterioration of the political process.
It seems that al-Maliki's tweet came to respond to speculation that the "coordinating framework" is fragmenting, dividing it between one involved in the Sadrist bloc's project and another towards the opposition.
In addition, a member of the advanced cadre of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, Mahmoud Khoshnaw, said in an interview with “Al-Sabah”: “The political movement is continuing and intense within all components, between the coordination framework and the Sadrist movement and between determination and progress, and within the two Democratic parties and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan at the level of the Political Bureau. There is also a movement among the Kurdish-Sunni dichotomies, extending the political movement from within the party itself to moving on the political blocs. He added, "The results of the political movement have not yet appeared, and perhaps there are indications that the two Kurdish parties will reach a single candidate for the post of President of the Republic," noting that "the position will be decided by a Kurdish-Kurdish understanding, and it will be for the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan in the coming hours or during the next 48 hours."

Shafaq News/ An informed source in the Sadrist bloc confirmed, on Saturday, that strategic alliances with Sunni and Kurdish partners are able to win the three presidencies and pass them comfortably, noting that the announcement of the formation of the new government will be soon if the Kurds agree on the candidate for the presidency.

 

The source told Shafaq News Agency, "The Sadrist bloc and its partners possess the required number of votes needed to form the government, and the political movement for its formation is proceeding in full swing, and as soon as the Kurdish forces agree on their candidate for the presidency, we will be very close to announcing the nomination of the candidate to head the government and its formation."

 

He explained that "the Federal Court will issue a logical decision commensurate with the data presented to it, and therefore its decisions will be decisive, as all of this will not affect our strategic alliances with partners who support the program of a national majority government."

 

He added, "Also, the issue of forming a government is progressing in full swing, and that the Sadrist bloc, being the largest because it has the largest number of parliamentary seats, has the right to nominate or put forward a candidate for prime minister, and thus the ball remains within the Sadrist bloc's arena regarding that."

 

The source added that "there are political parties trying to play the role of mediator to revive the Shiite house again, but this will not happen unless all the political forces affiliated with the strategic framework secure the government program that it seeks to implement to bring about a legislative revolution that guarantees the activation of service and investment projects that achieve the interests of Iraqis exclusively, as well as Advancement of economic and health aspects, as previous parliamentary sessions were almost suspended for these bills.

 

He added that "the pivotal point of contention between the Sadrist bloc and the coordination framework lies in the mechanism for naming the prime minister, as the framework seeks to be consensual, while the Sadrist bloc insists that he be a candidate for a national majority government, not consensual."

 

He pointed out that "the movement between the partners is proceeding smoothly and that once the Kurdish brothers agree on their candidate for the presidency, the process of forming the government will be completed after the Sadrist bloc's candidate for prime minister has been proposed, and all the procedures in this have been completed and there is little change in the presidency of Parliament and its belongings, as we can say in a more precise sense that Announcing the final formation of the Iraqi government is just around the corner."

 

The court had postponed the deciding session on the legitimacy of the election of the presidency of the House of Representatives, to the twenty-fifth of this month.

 

And the court decided to stop the work of the Presidency of the House of Representatives elected in the first session of the House of Representatives until two lawsuits regarding the legality of the session are resolved.

 

The decision comes after two lawsuits filed by MP Basem Khashan and his colleague Mahmoud Daoud regarding the first session and its "illegality".

Aswar // Analyzes assess that the cold war of exclusion waged by the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, against the head of the State of Law coalition, Nuri al-Maliki, will end with a moral victory over al-Sadr.

The moral value that will be recorded against the Sadrist movement is that al-Maliki in the 2010 elections had 89 seats and refused to exclude the Sadrist movement, which won 31 seats.

Now, after winning only 74 seats, al-Sadr insists on eliminating al-Maliki, who has 34 seats.

And the Shiite house is based on alliances, most of which are very short, and are based on servants and the exchange of interests, as is the case with the Sunni and Kurdish alliances.

It does not seem that the political crisis in the Shiite house is on its way to a solution, especially after the insistence of the leader of the Sadrist movement Muqtada al-Sadr that the leader of the State of Law coalition and former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki not participate in the next government.

None of the mediations yielded clear and decisive results in finding understandings between al-Sadr and al-Maliki.

According to observers, this insistence conceals the real struggle over the leadership of the Shiite house, which is the basis for al-Sadr's disagreement with the forces of the coordination framework to proceed with the formation of the government and the distribution of positions, as happens after every election in Iraq.

The Iraqi expert on political affairs, Ahmed al-Hamdani, believes that the conflict between al-Sadr and al-Maliki has transformed from a political rivalry between the Dawa Party and the Sadrist movement under different headings, given that they are two major intellectual and ideological blocs in the Iraqi arena, to a personal animosity between the two men.

The head of the State of Law coalition, Nuri al-Maliki, has bitter experiences in alliance with Shiite forces, including alliances with the two Shiite figures Haider al-Abadi and Ammar al-Hakim, which led to failure, as disputes quickly surfaced, while fearing that the coordinating framework forces would salivate towards Positions, today, after abandoning the alliance with al-Maliki.

According to observers, al-Maliki absorbed many of the shocks of the Sadrist movement, and preferred not to escalate in terms of maintaining the unity of the Shiite ranks.

Al-Maliki said in a tweet on Twitter that the coordination framework is strong and coherent, his position is unified, and his practical ideas for forming the government and managing the state are based on partnership and the integration of all components in it under the roof of the constitution.

He added that the framework is unanimous in adhering to one position regarding (participation or non-participation) and is keen that all parties meet in consensual coalition formations to prevent any case of deterioration of the political process.

And the framework’s agreement on a unified position on participating in the government or the boycott, will increase its political weight, and make it appear independent and unhurried behind positions, according to analyzes.

Rather, the boycott will cut the way for the Sadrist movement and the Democratic Party and their allies from moving on an impassable path towards forming a government.

And the fact that about 120 deputies remain outside al-Sadr’s alliance, it will disrupt many laws and decisions of the parliament if the framework is forced to oppose, and this will have an impact on the first parliamentary vote to elect the president of the republic.

Observer of the Iraqi issue, Abu Muhammad Mansouri, warns that the coordinating framework remains on this large number of leaders and parties, and the absence of a strategic vision and the approach of courtesies necessitate the repetition of its failure once again.

**Al-Kazemi returns to the fore as a "strong" candidate to head the next government**

Al-Kazemi receiving the family of Colonel Yasser Al-Jourani, who was killed at the hands of “ISIS”…
Although the position of the leader of the "Sadr movement" Muqtada al-Sadr was not clear in terms of the talks held with him by the commander of the Iranian "Quds Force" Ismail Qaani, the position of al-Sadr did not budge, according to the ongoing movement between the "Sadr movement" and the "coordinating framework", in terms of accepting some of the Coordination framework only. Al-Sadr, who used to express his position regarding his adherence to the government of the national majority when meeting any official or delegation, is still the master of silence for him, especially after his meeting with Qaani. But he violently attacked what he called "the prosecutor of the resistance", against the backdrop of the attack on the headquarters of the second deputy speaker of parliament, Shakhwan Abdullah, in Kirkuk.
According to political observers, Sadr's violent attack on the armed factions; None of which claimed responsibility for a series of attacks that included the headquarters of Sadr's allies from the Sunnis ("Progress" and "Azm") and the Kurds (the Kurdistan Democratic Party), which means that Sadr is still seeking to include those he described in a previous tweet on Twitter as “He still thinks well of them.” What is meant by that is the “Al-Fateh Alliance” led by Hadi Al-Amiri.
on their part; The forces of the “coordinating framework” (which includes several Shiite forces whose results varied in the elections, namely: “Al-Fateh Alliance”, “State of Law”, “The Wisdom Movement”, “Victory”, “National Contract” and “Supreme Council”) are still continuing. Hold almost daily meetings, but without issuing a statement as was the case in previous meetings. Even a few days before the visit of Qaani and the Lebanese Wajih Kawtharani, responsible for the Iraqi file in the Lebanese “Hezbollah”, the forces of the “coordinating framework” were expressing their positions in an official statement after each meeting, summarizing that the position of the forces of the “coordinating framework” is unified on all issues related to the formation of the next government. But that has changed over the last four days; Since the start of a meeting of the leaders of the “framework” is announced, the outcomes of the meeting remain confidential, while the leaks begin either through media close to one of the framework's parties, or through leaders in these alliances. However, according to information obtained by Asharq Al-Awsat from close sources, “the (framework) forces are in a critical situation; Especially since al-Sadr's position did not budge from adopting not only the idea of a majority government; Rather, his absolute rejection of the accession of all forces (the framework) to this government, by his insistence on the exclusion of the leader (coalition of state law) Nuri al-Maliki. According to the same sources; “The forces of (the coordinating framework), although they see that the exclusion of al-Maliki, who has 34 seats, which is about half of the seats (the coordinating framework); Which means that the forces (the framework) if they agreed to exclude al-Maliki from among their ranks; Its position will be weak regarding the cohesion of (the Sadr bloc), which has 75 deputies in Parliament.” According to the same sources; “The forces of (the coordinating framework), although they see that the exclusion of al-Maliki, who has 34 seats, which is about half of the seats (the coordinating framework); Which means that the forces (the framework) if they agreed to exclude al-Maliki from among their ranks; Its position will be weak regarding the cohesion of (the Sadr bloc), which has 75 deputies in Parliament.” According to the same sources; “The forces of (the coordinating framework), although they see that the exclusion of al-Maliki, who has 34 seats, which is about half of the seats (the coordinating framework); Which means that the forces (the framework) if they agreed to exclude al-Maliki from among their ranks; Its position will be weak regarding the cohesion of (the Sadr bloc), which has 75 deputies in Parliament.”
While the idea of distributing a number of representatives of the State of Law Coalition to the forces of the “coordinating framework” as a way out to resolve the crisis between the “current” and the “framework” as long as the position of al-Sadr appears personally towards al-Maliki without his coalition, the representative of the State Law» Dhurgham al-Maliki denied the existence of such an idea. Al-Maliki said in a statement that “(The State of Law Coalition) represents the main force within the (framework) because of the number of parliamentary seats it possesses, which reached 35 after two minorities joined it,” denying that “there is an idea to distribute a number of deputies ( The rule of law) over the rest of the forces of the (coordinating framework) as a way out to resolve the crisis between (the framework) and (the current). Al-Maliki explained that "the State of Law coalition is coherent and organized under the tent of the (coordinating framework)", stressing that "the forces of the (framework) are coherent as well, and there is no withdrawal or alliance of any of its forces outside (the framework)."
According to these statements and other opinions expressed under different names; This in itself means that there are differences within the "framework" forces, but they have not been made public so far, while al-Sadr's position remains the same.
According to this political movement; It is among the positions and opinions that all of this has repercussions on the personalities nominated for the next government. Among them is the current Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi. At a time when there was a veto regarding the three presidencies (the republic, ministers and parliament), the election of Muhammad al-Halbousi for a second term to head the parliament and the nomination of the current president, Barham Salih, himself for a second term practically dropped this veto, while the position of the prime minister remained dependent on the major bloc. . While the forces of the "coordinating framework" presented themselves as the ones that would form the largest bloc and put forward their candidates for prime minister.
