Despite the assertion by the current Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi yesterday that any new government in the country excludes the leader of Al-Niyar Al-Sadr, Muqtada Al-Sadr has not been successful and will face several obstacles, and may even explode a massive wave of protests, during the past hours, news circulated about meetings held between the framework Al-Sadr’s arch-rival, which includes Nuri al-Maliki and the Al-Fateh Alliance, as well as other pro-Iran factions, to come up with a government formation.

Talk about a final agreement?!

A leader of the Wisdom Movement stated, in a tweet on his Twitter account yesterday evening, that the final agreement paper had been settled, and "the leaders of the framework, the Kurds and the Sovereignty Alliance signed it, after multiple negotiating rounds, in which no representative of al-Sadr was present."

As Murtada Jawad pointed out, the most important thing in that paper or agreement is "maintaining balance, partnership and consensus."

He added that the coordinating framework is determined to hold the parliamentary session next Tuesday, according to him.

Wait for the chest

On the other hand, many activists confirmed on the communication sites that any such government will not pass, considering that it will fall with the strikes of the Sadrist movement.

While others indicated that they are expecting a comment from al-Sadr or one of the leaders in his orbit.

complete paralysis

It is noteworthy that Iraq has witnessed, since the early parliamentary elections that took place on October 10, 2021, a complete political paralysis, which has worsened further since July 2022, with the two sides of the most prominent dispute taking to the street and their sit-in in the center of Baghdad (Al-Sadr and the coordination framework).

The dispute reached its climax with the Sadrist movement’s demand two months ago to dissolve the parliament and hold early legislative elections in order to move the country on the path of reforms in light of its opponents’ rejection of this approach, and their insistence on forming a government with their candidate before any new elections.

The dispute developed late last month (August) into violent clashes between the two parties in central Baghdad, which led to the death of 30 people, and opened the doors to the possibility of a dangerous re-escalation.

Mustafa said; For the program {Al-Mastra} broadcast by Al-Furat Al-Furat channel tonight, that: “The understanding between the coordination framework and the Sadrist movement is through an advanced stage and there is international support for the extension of the presidency to Barham Salih, and most of the independents are divided between the framework and the movement, and the dialogue table will change the ABCs of the agreement.”
He added, "The resignation of Muhammad al-Halbousi from the presidency of the parliament is a political tactic, and he succeeded in taking the pledge of allegiance to the framework and turned into official guarantees by renewing confidence in him and replacing the first deputy with a very comfortable one for al-Halbousi."
Mustafa ruled out "the presidency of the republic going to the party," explaining, "The transition of the presidency is very difficult, and the distance between the two Kurdish parties is not very close, and the coordination framework is not concerned with the Kurdish candidate."
 And he indicated that "moving the wheel today adds a dose of morale to the entire public opinion and brings Iraq out of a state of stagnation, and therefore it is a step towards solving problems."
Mustafa pointed out that "there are negotiations under the table that have made great strides regarding the participation of the movement in the government. Without satisfying the other party, there will be a popular opposition, and any government formed without the framework or the movement will have difficult tasks."
The political analyst suggested "to reassure the Sadrist movement and notify it of its existence in the political process through a charter that defines the identity and tasks of the government and the time limit for them, and setting a date for the elections and holding them subject to guarantees of acceptance of their results, and this charter will be a road map for all."

Shafaq News / The Speaker of the Iraqi Parliament, Muhammad al-Halbousi, confirmed on Thursday that there were deliberately negative comments on the candidate for the coordination framework for the prime minister, Muhammad Shiaa al-Sudani, while indicating that no one in Iraq can bypass the Sadrist movement.

Al-Halbousi said in a television interview, followed by Shafak News Agency, that "negotiations on forming the new Iraqi government began a few days ago," noting that he proposed "consensus on (Baghdad Document) as an initiative to resolve the political crisis."

 

He added, "There are objections about how to choose the prime minister candidate. Al-Sudani represents the current of the Shiite component, and we have the right to object or accept."

Al-Halbousi pointed out that "the parliament is the appropriate place to discuss political differences, and it was necessary for the parliament to return to work."

Regarding the Alliance to Save the Homeland, which includes the Kurdistan Democratic Party, the Alliance of Sovereignty and the Sadrist bloc, the parliament speaker pointed out that "the tripartite alliance ended as soon as al-Sadr left the parliament, but relations continue, and there is a good relationship with the Kurdistan Democratic Party."

Regarding submitting a request to Parliament to vote on his resignation from the presidency of the Council, Al-Halbousi noted that "it was a personal decision that does not bear any interpretations."

Regarding the US support for Iraq, Al-Halbousi said, "The stability of Iraq is not a priority for the current US administration. The US support for Iraq in the past period is more media than realistic."

The political movement enters the stage of challenge and proof of existence after renewing confidence in Al-Halbousi and insisting on Al-Sudani to head the government, while the popular movement is preparing to gather its forces by taking to the street

After the parliament’s confidence in al-Halbousi was renewed and the movement within the Kurdish house escalated to settle the position of the President of the Republic, the candidate for the coordination framework for the prime minister, Muhammad Shiaa al-Sudani, expressed his willingness to take the position in a political and security ambiguous moment through promises he made to confine weapons to the state, to hold the whales of corruption accountable, and not to take the position for more than one term. .

 

 

Within these promises, the Sadrist movement’s audience was circulating in its media platforms, which are often used for field mobilization, impressions described as dangerous about what would result in a government led by the framework, most notably the talk about the monopoly of financial and oil institutions by political groups, while activists from the Sadrist movement and the movement are trying Al-Madani pressured Al-Sadr to end his political retreat, and return to the scene, with the pretext of preventing the framework from assuming power without a rival

 

In these complex calculations, it does not seem that the protest movement is able to gather its forces and restore the activity of October 1919. There are sharp polarizations between the forces of the movement, and the framework and the current played complex roles in strengthening them. Once the framework government is formed in the absence of al-Sadr, it is unlikely that the popular protest will be A force that changes the equation of governance and those in force in it.

It is necessary to form a government in the coming period."
