Someone should make a movie out of all this mess   Starting to see no end to this....

Personally I'm disgusted with all of this. Nearly 20 years of the most Epic FUBAR/SNAFU I've ever witnessed...well, next to our present administration that is.

It's astounding how these people have allowed (a golden opportunity to create massive wealth ) a Pro-Iranian Cabal of criminal Iraqi politicians to  decimate a country & it's people.

Now they want new elections which will only serve to elect & reelect new & the same corrupt officials creating a Deja'Vu all over again scenario delaying even further the seating of a new government.

I'd call for MASS ARRESTS of ALL Pro-Iranian et.al. elements...Purge the country: it's the only way you'll ever have a "  free & governable " Iraq.

That'll never happen Will it???

is this an "insurrection?"

I find it very interesting the echos of parallel behavior. But, there is a clear and remarkable difference. Here in Iraq a country has been unstable and at civil war for decades and is moving through a process that has the potential to create stability for the citizens of Iraq as a whole. 
 

When rain falls from the sky vapor is changed into liquid. As a boiling pot of water is heated up the liquid changes into vapor. Both process look the same as water vapor suspended in the atmosphere.

 

What happened in the United States was decades of peace and stability with the potential to transition into civil war. 
 

Things that may look similar may not always be the same.

Baghdad today - Baghdad

A member of the State of Law coalition, Fadel Mawat, confirmed today, Wednesday, that the political blocs of the Kurds and Sunnis and the coordination framework will not agree to al-Sadr's call to repeat the elections and dissolve parliament.

Mowat told (Baghdad Today), "There is confusion in the demands of the Sadrist movement and instability in its goals. Sometimes it attacks the judiciary and sometimes it occupies Parliament, which led to a lack of understanding of what the Sadrist movement wants ."

He added that "the issue of re-election is not easy in the current circumstances, as well as that the political blocs will not accept, such as the Kurds and Sunnis, and the coordination framework that represents the largest bloc in Parliament ."

Mowat added, "The Kurds will not agree either to amend or change the constitution because the current constitution is among their rights. The issue is complex and not easy ."

Al-Sadr had called, in a speech today, to dissolve parliament and organize early elections, noting that "the old faces will not have any presence through a peaceful democratic process."

A statement to 'People'

Legal expert: There are two ways to constitutionally dissolve parliament... one of them cannot be implemented

2022.08.04 - 11:42

 

Baghdad - people  

On Thursday, legal expert Ali Al-Tamimi identified the constitutional mechanisms for dissolving the Iraqi parliament.  

  

  

  

Al-Tamimi said in a statement to “Nass” (August 4, 2022): “Article 64 of the constitution stipulates that the House of Representatives is dissolved by an absolute majority of its members, i.e. half of the total number plus one, and this is done in two ways. The first is a request by a third of the members, any written request to The Speaker of the House of Representatives is signed by 110 deputies. As for the second method, it is a request from the Prime Minister and with the approval of the President of the Republic.  

  

He explained, "If we exclude the second method, because the current government is a daily business that did not come from the current parliament, neither it nor the President of the Republic, and therefore neither the Prime Minister nor the President of the Republic has the right to submit the joint application," noting that "this is in accordance with Federal Court decision 121 of 2022. ".  

  

While the legal expert pointed out that “there remains one way to dissolve the current parliament, which is to dissolve the parliament itself, that is, at the request of a third of the members and the approval of the absolute majority of the number of members, that is, half of the total number plus one.”  

  

Al-Tamimi indicated that "when voting on the dissolution of the House of Representatives by the absolute majority of its members, the President of the Republic calls for general elections in the country within a maximum period of 60 days from the date of the dissolution, and certainly the Council of Ministers continues to conduct daily affairs until the formation of the new government."  

  

He also pointed out that "there is no limitation for the term of the caretaker government in the day-to-day affairs in Article 64 of the Constitution regarding the dissolution of the House of Representatives, in contrast to the limitation that came in Article 61, paragraph eight of the Constitution related to the withdrawal of confidence from the Prime Minister, in which the Council of Ministers is considered resigned," explaining that " The period of conducting daily business in it was no more than thirty days until the formation of the new Council of Ministers,” noting that “the reason in the case of dissolving the House of Representatives requires long procedures that cannot be accomplished within 30 days, unlike the case of withdrawal of confidence in which this can be done with the presence of the House of Representatives. The elected representatives and the presence of the voting president of the republic, which does not exist in the event of the dissolution of the House of Representatives.  

  

The leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, earlier demanded the dissolution of parliament and the holding of early elections, while at the same time he called on the protesters to continue their sit-in.  

  

Al-Sadr said in a speech followed by "Nass" (August 3, 2022), "I will not antagonize anyone, even those who want to kill me, as in the leaks."    

  

He added, "Dialogue with them we have tried and experienced, and nothing is good for the country but ruin and dependency, and there is no benefit from dialogue with them," noting that "the malicious lawsuits obstructed the formation of the majority government."

Baghdad - people   

The head of the Popular Mobilization Authority, Faleh al-Fayyad, commented, on Thursday, regarding the leader of the Sadrist movement's call to dissolve parliament and hold early elections.  

  

  

  

Al-Fayyad said in press statements followed by "Nass" (August 4, 2022), that "the re-run of the parliamentary elections is no longer an issue for the Sadrist movement," explaining that "the re-run of the parliamentary elections has become related to other components and alliances as well."  

  

He added that "the coordinating framework has not yet taken its official position on the issue of holding early parliamentary elections," noting that "the presence of masses under the dome of Parliament is not a normal thing, and we are dealing with it as a temporary situation that can be bypassed."  

  

He pointed out that "the proposals of the leader of the Sadrist movement to resolve the crisis can be discussed to reach common positions on it," noting that "dissolving parliament and holding early elections will be a solution if all blocs and other political parties agree."  

  

He stressed that "the current government is a caretaker government, and re-elections are not within the powers of the caretaker government," adding, "We will look at proposals to resolve the crisis when they are realistically formulated."  

  

And he indicated that "the demands for dissolving parliament are a big issue that cannot be accepted when it is raised by one party," stressing that "the system of government in Iraq, according to the constitution, is consensual, and one position cannot be accepted for a specific party."  

  

He added that "many of the framework forces had previously called for the elections to be repeated, and this is a matter that can be discussed to agree on its details," explaining that "the crowd chose for itself not to be a political party in this crisis once and for all."  

  

Fayadh said, "The coordination framework praised the prime minister's initiative to resolve the crisis, but it needs the consensus of other parties," adding that "the current government is a caretaker government and does not have the powers to hold re-elections."  

  

The leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, earlier demanded the dissolution of parliament and the holding of early elections, while at the same time he called on the protesters to continue their sit-in.

The Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) Politburo Secretary, Fazil Mirani, said on Thursday (August 4) the dissolution of parliament would not be easy.

He said Sadr had made the wrong decision in making the Sadrist Movement withdraw from parliament.

Mirani said Sadr had two pressure cards, one was parliament, which he has lost. The other was the public, which has led him to demand the disbanding of parliament.

The leader of the Victory Alliance, Haider al-Abadi, said on Wednesday his party supports any side that attempts reform in Iraq.

The leader of the Fatah Alliance, Hadi al-Amiri, also said on Wednesday he supports Sadr’s call for early elections to be held in Iraq.

The leader of the Sunni Muslim al Siyada (Sovereignty) Coalition, Khamis al Khanjar, said in a statement he supports Sadr, adding serious dialogue was needed in order to rescue Iraq from the political deadlock.

Nouri al-Maliki, the leader of the State of Law Coalition, said in a Twitter statement on Wednesday that serious dialogue based on the constitution was necessary to sort out the disagreement in Baghdad.

The Alliance for the People said on Wednesday it was necessary to form an interim government in Baghdad.

The alliance is an opposition group formed last year between the New Generation Movement (NGM), the Imtidad Movement and other independent MPs in the Iraqi parliament. It is led by NGM President Shaswar Abdulwahid.

Well Mu_AlSadr, you want real reform & fight corruption within the political system...call for & demand Maliki's arrest and every last one of his traitorous Pro-Iranian criminal politician buddies. 

Ban ALL Pro-Iranian individuals from ever holding public office, let alone run for a Parliamentary seat. Purge baby Purge.

As long as they walk free your precious demand for early elections means NOTHING.

The head of the State of Law coalition, Nuri al-Maliki, considered, on Thursday, that holding any early elections must take place in accordance with the constitution and national consensus.

 

Al-Maliki said in a statement, "We reiterate that adherence to the constitutional and legal mechanisms is the only option that spares Iraq the successive crises that inflicted severe damage on the higher interests of the Iraqi people and exposed civil peace to serious dangers."

 

He added, "Having any early elections must take place in accordance with the constitution and national consensus, in a way that enhances national unity and prevents a repetition of what happened in the previous elections, which witnessed an unprecedented process of manipulation, and we are still suffering from its negative repercussions and effects that caused a serious rupture in the social fabric."

 

On Saturday (July 30, 2022), demonstrators stormed the Green Zone and then the House of Representatives for the second time within days, after which Ibrahim al-Jabri, the director of the office of Martyr al-Sadr in Baghdad, announced an open sit-in inside Parliament; Rejecting the nomination of Muhammad Shia Al-Sudani for the position of prime minister.

 

Then, the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, called for a radical change of the political system and the constitution, and then called, days later, for early elections after the parliament was dissolved, calling for the sit-in to continue until the demands are achieved.
