Ministers on the brink of dismissal after failing to implement the government program

 

April 13, 2023

Baghdad / Obelisk Al-Hadath: The leader of the State of Law Coalition, Jassim Muhammad Jaafar, revealed that six ministers in the government of Shia al-Sudani had been given a last chance before the expected cabinet change.

The expected change, according to sources, is one of the repercussions of evaluating the performance of the ministerial cabinet in the extent to which the government program is implemented.

Jaafar pointed out that "the information available indicates that six ministers were replaced within the current government cabinet after the emergence of indicators of weakness in their usual government performance."

In governments, when an incompetent person is appointed to serve as a minister, this affects the ability to achieve the government's strategic goals and visions.

However, one of the effects of changing ministers frequently is political instability, as this change can lead to a lack of trust between the government and the people and reduce the ability to achieve reforms and development.

Carefully selecting ministers, from among the competent and qualified persons to assume this responsibility, is the key to success while providing them with the necessary support to achieve the set goals and contribute to the progress and prosperity of the state.

The representative of the Al-Fateh Alliance, Muhammad Al-Baldawi, spoke about a move towards making changes in the cabinet of the government of Muhammad Shia’a Al-Sudani, according to the assessments prepared by the specialized committees. The issue will be built according to standards and estimates from specialists to continue the work of the government and under the direct supervision of the Sudanese over the members of the evaluation committees of all ministries, denying the existence of any objection from the political blocs regarding the upcoming cabinet reshuffle.

{Politics: Al-Furat News} The political advisor to Prime Minister Fadi Al-Shammari revealed important files related to the number of ministers expected to be included in the change and the total amount recovered from the theft of tax secretaries known as the “theft of the century.”

"There is no new distribution of special grades, and there is a re-evaluation of all those present, who are from the previous governments," Al-Shammari said on the "Before Suhoor" program broadcast by Al-Furat TV.
He added, "The evaluations are not over yet, and there will be a replacement, and according to estimates, it will include 3 ministers. It was supposed to go to replace 4 governors, but due to the approaching local elections, the matter has not been resolved, and the Sudanese is awaiting the final evaluation," pointing out, "There is an opinion to postpone the change of governors until the end of the local elections."
He added, "Al-Sudani is conducting a multi-axial assessment in cooperation with the representatives of the governorates," denying "the existence of a political party taking over the current government, as happened in previous governments."
He explained, "The nature of consulting the prime minister is multi-way, including through a direct meeting with him, sometimes in writing, and others, and there is a great work for the consultants." There are no costs, protection processions, allocations, etc., and some of the advisors were old.
And he indicated, "The previous government consisted of 63 advisors, most of whom are courtesy and do not last at all and receive privileges."
He revealed, "The withdrawal of all lands distributed by the former prime minister, and they were seized, and many of them did not complete their procedures in the previous government, and they were distributed in violation of the law," noting that "there are lands distributed to people who received them previously and are located in public service areas."
Al-Shammari added, "The current government has gone towards zeroing out crises, specifically the oil file and the problem with the region for 15 years, and there is a conciliatory spirit on both sides, Baghdad and the region," adding, "The oil companies were blackmailing the region and obtaining oil at a difference of 16 dollars from the prices in global markets."
The advisor to the Prime Minister explained that "there is a review of all the region's previous contracts and new contracts will be followed up by the Federal Ministry of Oil and in cooperation with the Ministry of Wealth of the region.
He pointed out that "there are technical measures to resume the region's oil exports through the Turkish port of Ceyhan, and they have a high technical aspect."
Al-Shammari stressed that "there is no return to the financial budget to the Council of Ministers and the coordination framework with the tendency towards its approval," noting that "the House of Representatives is concerned with amending and changing the budget, which is a program budget."
He said, "The budget includes water desalination projects, building hospitals in districts and districts, and providing free treatment for cancer, as well as for chronic diseases."
He pointed out, "Al-Sudani clings to the political card and argues with the political forces about it," adding, "There is anger from one party in the Sovereignty Coalition, not the entire Coalition."
Al-Shammari said, "Parliament Speaker Muhammad al-Halbousi raises several issues to be a partner, but there are spaces for work, and powers and interference should not interfere with the executive authority.
He promised, "Al-Sudani's visit to Turkey was one of the most successful visits in the history of Iraq, and one of its most important files was the development project that extends from Al-Faw to Istanbul." He promised, "Iraq is the heart of the Middle East, and the Middle East is the heart of the world."
Regarding the file of Jurf al-Nasr and the calls for the return of the displaced to it, Al-Shammari said: "80% of the people of Jurf al-Nasr live in Babil Governorate, and 20% live in other areas such as Ameriyat al-Fallujah," noting that "the area has been largely destroyed so far, and it is an area of military fighting in the days of liberation against ISIS." It needs a process of reconstruction and reconsideration of the entire system in the region."
He added, "There are sleeper cells in Jurf al-Nasr because of the ruggedness of the area, being agricultural," stressing, "The file must not be exploited politically, and any political influence in the file will stop and complicate the situation."
The advisor to the prime minister said that Al-Sudani "does not participate in the upcoming local elections. As for the upcoming parliamentary elections, it is too early to talk about them. He certainly has ambitions, but he is currently busy implementing government programs," ruling out "the existence of communication between Al-Sudani and his predecessor, Mustafa Al-Kazemi."
On the traffic jams, Al-Shammari said, "The capital, Baghdad, and some provinces will turn into a real workshop to end the traffic jams crisis. Indeed, three projects have been officially launched in Baghdad in this direction, which is a fingerprint for Al-Sudani."
He stressed that "the prime minister continues to attend the meeting of the coordination framework or the state administration coalition," denying "the existence of a direct channel of communication between al-Sudani and Mr. Muqtada al-Sadr, and perhaps there is informal communication with his close associates."
Regarding the file of theft of the century, he said that the judicial authorities " 
Al-Shammari revealed that "the return of one trillion and 300 billion dinars out of the stolen amount was stolen, which is two trillion and 500 billion dinars, although there was a plan to steal 3 trillion dinars."

Al-Dulaimi added, "Some Sunni politicians have reached a stage of disrespect for themselves, their reputation, and the region, but many balances will change in the upcoming elections after the cover is revealed."
He revealed by saying, "The coming days will witness the nomination of personalities of tribal weight in Anbar province and elsewhere," adding, "The Sunni framework inclusive of all Sunni political forces will not be, and I am not satisfied with the performance of some ministers from the Sunni component."

'Complications threaten the government alliance'

Sources: The coordination framework raises the "ministerial change" paper in Al-Halbousi's face

2023.04.15 - 16:00

 

Baghdad - people   

Iraqi sources, believed to be close to Prime Minister Muhammad Shia’ al-Sudani, leaked that the latter intends to carry out a cabinet reshuffle, but leaders from the Coordination Framework and the “Taqdad” party led by Parliament Speaker Muhammad al-Halbousi said: “The plan is part of political maneuvers that may lead to Beyond the ministerial change,” according to Al-Sharq Al-Awsat newspaper.  

  

  

And the newspaper added, "Iraqi deputies and media outlets said that Al-Sudani intends to conduct a cabinet reshuffle soon, including a number of ministers, after the expiry of a previous deadline to assess their work in the government."  

And she continued, "The dispute still exists between al-Sudani and al-Halbousi, regarding the file of the government agreement and the promises made by the coordination framework of the Sunni forces, most notably securing a fair share of the federal budget for the liberated cities, in addition to amending laws in Parliament."  

The newspaper pointed out that "the two parties are engaged in continuous negotiations to resolve the differences, and although some of them have found a way to a solution, many complications may threaten the government's strategic alliance, while a leader from the coordination framework confirms that the failure of the negotiations will mean going to the ministerial reshuffle, inevitably." ".  

  

A leader from the framework said that the amendment will not happen, and the negotiations will end in a satisfactory settlement for all, according to the newspaper.  

The newspaper said, "Indeed, the Sunni forces believe that the coordination framework has reneged on its promises that it made before forming the government, and that the current ongoing negotiations aim to stabilize the agreement and make it binding, and within the framework of this negotiation they hint at options related to the future of the liberated cities."  

On the other hand, leaders from the "coordinating framework" object to the terms of the government agreement, which granted the Sunni forces great privileges and unprecedented flexibility. In this context, former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki is pressing to formulate a new agreement to reduce the gains that al-Halbousi gets, but the prime minister seems eager to achieve a political victory in the negotiations to change the balance of power in his favor within the "coordination framework", according to Asharq Al-Awsat.  

  

And the newspaper continued, "A leader in the coordination framework said that leaders in the coordination framework are competing to wage confrontation with al-Halbousi to prove leadership within the coalition."

Report: After neutralizing the Kurds and al-Sadr: al-Halbousi is in the crosshairs of the coordination framework

2023.04.17 - 14:29

 

Baghdad - people  

The agreement between Baghdad and Erbil on the rules for resuming oil exports from Kurdistan, Muqtada al-Sadr’s announcement of freezing the activities of his movement for “at least” a year, and the weakness of the positions of the small opposition parties in parliament are all elements that make the coordinating framework, which governs in Baghdad, an unstoppable force. This encourages it now to seek to crush any trends that may appear to challenge its overall influence.  

  

  

  

The leader of the Sunni bloc, Muhammad al-Halbousi, Speaker of Parliament, is now the first target, to confirm that the framework groups, which were just a minority in Parliament, have become the ruling party with absolute influence.  

  

Observers say that the framework groups want to remove Al-Halbousi from his position as Speaker of Parliament, to replace him with one of the Sunni figures loyal to them. This is while Prime Minister Muhammad Shia al-Sudani plans to remove some of the ministers affiliated with al-Halbousi from their positions as part of a cabinet reshuffle under the cover of evaluating the work of government ministers.  

  

Al-Halbousi adheres to the agreement that laid the basis for the current government formation, and includes securing a fair share for the Sunni governorates in the federal budget and amending policies related to the return of the displaced and anti-terrorism laws that are implemented randomly.  

  

The coordination framework negotiators use the weapon of reshuffling the cabinet to force al-Halbousi to abandon his demands. And while the parties to the framework compete with each other over the way in which al-Halbousi can be confronted or overthrown, each of them views the Speaker of Parliament as having become the “low wall” that can be overcome.  

  

For example, while Al-Sudani takes the cabinet reshuffle as a way to weaken Al-Halbousi's positions in order to prove that he is the one running the game, Nuri Al-Maliki, the leader of the State of Law bloc in the framework, is gathering forces to overthrow Al-Halbousi from his position as Speaker of Parliament, in order to prove that he is the primary driving force of the framework. and government.  

  

Al-Halbousi’s attempt to establish a “Sunni coordination framework” that competes with the influence of the Shiite coordination framework constitutes one of the most important reasons that prompt the framework groups, including Al-Sudani, to view it as a threat, which prompted Al-Maliki to pull the rug from under Al-Halbousi’s feet by attracting those he was betting on, while Al-Sudani is looking for alternatives to the ministers loyal to the Speaker of Parliament in the government.  

  

And the former deputy, Mishaan Al-Jubouri, had said in a tweet on Twitter:  

  

  

A prominent leader in the “Taqdad” party, which is led by the Speaker of Parliament, said that “Al-Halbousi invited all former and current Sunni political leaders in Iraq, led by Salim al-Jubouri, Osama al-Nujaifi, Salih al-Mutlaq, Khamis al-Khanjar, Rafi al-Issawi, Jamal al-Karbouli, Muthanna al-Samarrai, Mahmoud al-Mashhadani and others, to convene meeting".  

  

The former Speaker of Parliament, head of the Salvation and Development Front, Osama al-Nujaifi, attacked the idea of forming the Sunni coordination framework, saying in a televised statement that “the call to form the Sunni coordination framework is not sincere, and the idea will not succeed with its current people and the nature of its advocates.”  

  

He added that "the adopters of the Sunni coordination framework were attacking first-line politicians, practicing abuse against them, and trying to completely remove them from the scene," pointing out that "conceit led some to think that he could do everything with the support of internal and external political parties."  

  

Observers say that al-Halbousi is paying the price for his marginalization policies against those who need them now. Although they weaken themselves by refraining from supporting him in the face of singling out the coordination framework, the vengeful nature of the Sunni political environment underestimates the matter and thinks that the overthrow of al-Halbousi opens the way for it to return and practice what it used to do in terms of marginalization.  

  

Al-Nujaifi said that “the decision to dismiss al-Halbousi from the presidency of the Iraqi Council of Representatives belongs to the Shiites, specifically from the leaders of the coordination framework, and not to the Sunnis,” and that some parties to the Shiite framework take into account that there is an “international dimension” to the issue of dismissing al-Halbousi.  

  

Observers say that the problem of the Sunni groups is that they do not have a frame of reference like the frame of reference that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard forms for the groups of the coordination framework. For this reason, while groups within the Shiite framework can differ and compete, they come together when faced with a common threat to their influence. While the matter is different for the Sunni groups, they are torn in running after benefits before being threatened, and they are torn even more if they are threatened.  

  

Some parties to the framework are betting that the more pressure on Al-Halbousi increases, he will favor safety and back down from his demands, as has happened more than once before. His ministers in the government are trying to market the idea that an agreement can be reached through dialogue between al-Halbousi and al-Maliki on the one hand, and between him and al-Sudani on the other.  

  

But the inevitable conclusion is that the framework groups, whether they take the decision to remove al-Halbousi or force him to make concessions, the coordination framework continues to act as the “leading party” of the state and society that no one can compete with.

Representatives deny a cabinet reshuffle soon

Yesterday, Sunday, deputies denied the existence of an imminent change in the government of Muhammad Shia al-Sudani, but they talked about the possibility of preparing a full report on performance when the opportunity becomes available.

"So far, the reports are conflicting, but according to the current perspective, there is no change in the cabinet of any ministry," said Ahmad al-Fawwaz, a representative of the State of Law coalition.

Representative Ahmed Al-Fawaz, however, added that “it is possible to re-evaluate, according to what is in effect as a mechanism for the forces of the coordination framework, in particular, and the State Administration Coalition, by re-evaluating the work and performance of ministers, six months after they assume their duties, and evaluating them according to the requirements of the current stage, which requires the government to implement its government program.”

He explained, "Until now, there has been no preparation of a report regarding the evaluation of the ministries, and when there is preparation for a full and detailed report, it is possible to identify the ministries that failed to perform their work."

For his part, independent MP Salah Al-Tamimi said, in press statements, that "there is no truth to these reports, and the ministers are still at the beginning of their work."

Al-Tamimi added, "In the event that there are observations on the work of the ministries, there will be other words, but so far they have started their administrative work only, and as for service work, they are waiting for the approval of the general budget to start their work."

And he believed that “the imbalance in the work lies in the governorates, given that most of the powers have been transferred to the governorates, while the ministries have become a pretext,” explaining that “most of the service departments are linked to the governorates, not to the ministries.”

It is noteworthy that the government of Prime Minister Muhammad Shia' al-Sudani won, on Thursday (October 27, 2022), the confidence of the Iraqi Parliament.

At that time, the House of Representatives voted to grant confidence to Fouad Hussein as Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hayan Abdul-Ghani Abdul-Zahra Al-Sawad as Minister of Oil, Taif Sami Muhammad Al-Shukraji as Minister of Finance, Thabet Muhammad Saeed Reda Al-Abbasi as Minister of Defense, Abdul Amir Kamel Al-Shammari as Minister of Interior, and Saleh Mahdi Muttalib Al-Hasnawi as Minister of Health.

Likewise, Khaled Salam Saeed Shawani was voted as Minister of Justice, Ziyad Ali Fadel Al-Ruzeej as Minister of Electricity, Abbas Jabr Ubadah Al-Alayawi as Minister of Agriculture, Naim Abd Yasser Al-Aboudi as Minister of Education, Ibrahim Names Yassin Musa Al-Jubouri as Minister of Education, Razaq Muhibis Ajami Al-Saadawi as Minister of Transport, and Hiyam Abboud Kazem. Al-Yasiri, Minister of Communications, Aoun Diab Abdullah, Minister of Water Resources, and Ahmed Jassim Al-Asadi, Minister of Labor and Social Affairs.

Also in the session, Evan Faiq Yaqoub Jabro was voted as Minister of Migration and Displacement, Ahmed Muhammad Hussein Qasim Al-Mubarqa’ as Minister of Youth and Sports, Ahmed Fakak Ahmed Al-Badrani as Minister of Culture, Tourism and Antiquities, and Muhammad Tamim as Minister of Planning.

Al-Sudani comments on his dispute with Al-Halbousi and reveals a cabinet reshuffle {expanded}

{Politics: Al Furat News} Prime Minister Muhammad Shia Al-Sudani reviewed several files, including the dispute with the head of the legislative authority, the exchange rate of the dollar, the financial budget, the provincial elections, and others.

And about the news of his disagreement with Parliament Speaker Muhammad al-Halbousi, Al-Sudani said during his meeting with a number of media outlets, including Al-Furat TV, who answered her question about this dispute: “We respect the agreement that produced the State Administration Coalition, and contributed to political stability and resulted in a political agreement with general principles voted on.” The House of Representatives, and it represents an incubator for this government," stressing, "We do not have differences in the state administration coalition as far as views related to the budget or the principle of partnership, and partnership outside the scope of the constitution is unacceptable."

He added, "There is a set of deferred files and backlogs. If this government is able to complete them, it is something that counts for it and enhances its credibility," noting, "It is not true that the prime minister, when he takes an executive decision to install or exempt a certain responsibility, must refer to the components, which is something we did not agree on." .

Al-Sudani continued, "Some of the partners believe that the partnership means that the prime minister does not take a decision in accordance with his powers except with the advice and participation of the political forces present in the coalition, and this is not true, because there are exclusive powers and preserving them is part of political reform."

Regarding the services file, Al-Sudani affirmed, "We raised the slogan of services, because it is a popular demand. It is one of the demands of the demonstrations, and the citizen's desire to participate in the elections has become linked to services. When I participated in the elections and won as a deputy for Baghdad, my concern was how to provide services to citizens and for this service to be a message to them. And we began to treat services as a priority, through fast services through the experience of service and engineering effort, and by activating lagging projects, and we gave priority to infrastructure and the health and electricity sectors.

He pointed out that "the tripartite budget means economic stability and a positive message for the private sector, and all international financial institutions advise that the private financial, social and economic situation of Iraq needs a medium-term budget, maintaining the continuity of the ration card, the growing need for fuel for power stations, and the entitlement of unpaid loans, It led to deficit and inflation in the budget, and we have many remedies for it, and the government job should not be the only outlet for citizens' living income, so we tended to activate the private sector."

Al-Sudani expressed his hope that the retirement and social security law will be approved, and the government will contribute to the fund to provide privileges for workers in the private sector, equivalent to their peers in the government sector. The budget there is 4.5 trillion between the petro-dollars and the development of the regions, and it is with the projects of the ministries that can cover the needs of the provinces during the remainder of this year.

Regarding the dollar, he said: “All fluctuations in the dollar price were a result of the failure to implement the agreement signed between the government and the Central Bank with the US Federal Reserve in the previous stage. The duration of the agreement was two years, and it ended on November 15, 2022, that is, less than a month after we assumed our duties, so we decided to abide by it.” According to the standards of the global banking system, we began intensive procedures in the central bank, the government and the private sector, and our concern was to maintain food prices.

He added, "With the passage of time, the process of complying with banking standards increased, and all merchants began to enter the electronic platform, and we helped them obtain foreign currency at the official rate instead of getting used to illegal trade."

And he announced, "The number of merchants using the electronic platform has increased, and the parallel price has begun to decline, approaching the official price of foreign currency, and it will continue to decline. I remind you that the Iraqi dinar is strong, and our financial situation is in its best condition, and we have confidence in our Iraqi currency, and our procedures are moving in the right direction, and in every session of the Council of Ministers." There is a decision or action towards economic reforms and improving the investment environment.

Al-Sudani stressed that "there is cooperation between the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq and the Central Bank, in order to have branches in the region, for the purpose of providing foreign currency to merchants present and working there, as well as to citizens, according to controls and activities."

The Prime Minister stressed that "we must overcome a situation in which the budget is an opportunity for political blackmail or setting the interests of this or that party, as it is a budget for all Iraqis and the people and institutions await it," noting that "the recovery of corruption money is not a heresy, but rather a law, and we move in a legal context, and I have Iraq has agreements in this regard, and we are a party to the Global Convention against Corruption, and this is obligatory for all countries of the world that are affiliated with it.

He added, "We have bilateral agreements on the extradition of wanted persons and looted funds, and the central bank has broad agreements and powers in this regard," noting that "work on the method of the Committee (29) is unacceptable, and there are investigations about confessions extracted under duress that are nearing completion, and the results will be announced."

Al-Sudani continued, "We directed all the oversight bodies and ministers, that there should be no red lines towards any corruption file, location, position, or personality. We want full professional legal procedures to be brought to justice, and we focused on recovering the money. The best way to reach the corrupt is to track the money and follow up." way to inflate it.

He said, "Some took refuge when they were in charge, and we were able to bring them in by tracking the money and searching for the reasons for its inflation," stressing, "Compensation, housing and security must be provided for some societal problems, and services must be provided to practice daily life, for the purpose of returning the displaced, and these matters faced some delay." ".

And he went on to say, "Among the files marred by corruption is the compensation file, and there are people who have nothing to do with what the governorates were subjected to, who received compensation, while the deserving people did not receive their rights, and we put removing obstacles that prevent the return of the displaced as a priority, so that our people can return to their areas of residence." original".

He stressed, "It is in the interest to start returning the displaced from outside Iraq, after security checks and some procedures related to their reintegration into society. The file of the return of the displaced to Sinjar requires security and political arrangements to prepare for their full return. They are about 200,000 citizens who have been displaced to the region." .

Al-Sudani promised the agreement on April 4 with the Kurdistan Regional Government regarding the resumption of exporting the region's oil via Baghdad as "important, and regulates the relationship that we contributed to organizing through the contents that we put in the tripartite budget project," stressing that "the loss of revenues of 475 thousand barrels per day is a large number and the damage will befall Everyone, and within days we will go to sign contracts between SOMO and oil companies, and the Turkish side will be notified of the resumption of exports from the region.

He pointed out that "the duty of the federal government is to pay the salaries of employees, whether they are in the region or any governorate, and it is not honored, and this is what the Council of Ministers is working on."

And he stressed that "the government presents a monthly report at every meeting of the state administration, on what has been accomplished, and the last report included an achievement rate of 31% within 6 months, and crises are resolved by developing successful plans and tools and following up on implementation, and one of the problems of previous performance is that it contained courtesy, and we put 6 Months for a real evaluation according to professional standards, and in light of it, whether or not the minister will remain in the government is determined.”

He explained, "We gave a period of 3 months, which is sufficient for the general managers and their performance, and sufficient for the minister to know his tools and evaluate their performance. We received the evaluation forms for the general managers and we are currently studying them. After the feast, the first round of evaluations will begin."

He stressed that "the origin of the problem in Iraq is economic, and it has social consequences that led to manifestations of unemployment, poverty and poor services. We put forward the term (productive diplomacy), and we were keen that all our visits to countries be preceded by planning and clear goals."

The cabinet reshuffle is likely to take place early next month (Anatolia)

Iraqi Prime Minister Muhammad Shia al-Sudani confirmed  that he will make a cabinet reshuffle in his government after the expiration of the six-month deadline that he set to evaluate the work of ministers, in addition to his pledge to make changes at the level of other positions with the rank of director general in various ministries and government institutions.

 

Since the formation of the eighth Iraqi government since the US invasion of the country in 2003, by the forces of the " coordinating framework ", following a suffocating political crisis that extended for more than a full year, Prime Minister Muhammad Shia' al-Sudani, who won the confidence of Parliament at the end of October last year, pledged He made a comprehensive assessment of his government's performance and replaced the "not good" ministers.

Al-Sudani said, in an interview with a number of local Iraqi TV stations last night, Wednesday, that "after the expiration of the six-month deadline, there will be a cabinet reshuffle," referring to the possibility that this will be after the end of the Eid al-Fitr holiday in Iraq, early next month.

The Iraqi Prime Minister affirmed: "We set 6 months for a real evaluation according to professional standards, and in light of it it is determined whether or not the minister will remain in the government, and we were given a period of 3 months, which is sufficient for the general managers and their performance, and sufficient for the minister to know his tools and evaluate their performance," confirming the arrival of evaluations by a number of officials, and will be studied after the Eid al-Fitr holiday.

 

He stated that "some of the partners (political blocs) believe that the partnership means that the prime minister does not make a decision in accordance with his powers except with the advice and participation of the political forces present in the coalition, and this is incorrect, because there are exclusive powers and preserving them is part of political reform."

 

Earlier last week, prominent sources in Baghdad revealed to Al-Araby Al-Jadeed that the prime minister in Baghdad intends to make ministerial changes that may include 6 ministers who did not succeed in performing the tasks assigned to them within the government program, in agreement with political entities and parties. Participation in government.

 

The representative of the "coordinating framework", Muhammad Al-Baldawi, also confirmed that "the next ministerial change will take place by evaluating performance during the period granted by Al-Sudani, and that the change of ministers and governors will not be subject to any external or internal pressure," noting, in a press statement, that "the forces The political forces, specifically the State Administration Coalition, gave al-Sudani the green light to replace the reluctant ministers, as well as their deputies and governors, and that the new ministers will be chosen in consultation with the political forces.

 

At the end of October last year, Al-Sudani formed his government with the support of the "State Administration" coalition, which included all the traditional political parties except for the "Sadr movement". Six months into the life of his government, and that he had implemented part of this commitment with the governor of Qadisiyah (in the south of the country), who replaced him with another, but what stopped activists from the province is that the new governor belongs to the same party as the previous governor.

In the current Iraqi government, there are 23 ministries, distributed among Sunni, Shiite, and Kurdish political parties, in addition to minorities, by the “quota” method, or as traditional parties express it by electoral entitlement, which is “consensual” according to the classifications of Iraqi observers, as it passed through the Iraqi Parliament in October October last year, without differences between the parties.

 

"service government"

The Iraqi prime minister added that his government had raised the "services slogan" because it was "a public demand. It is one of the demands of the demonstrations... The citizen's turnout to participate in the elections was linked to services," stressing that "priority is given to the infrastructure, health and electricity sectors."

 

The Iraqi prime minister defended his submission of a draft budget for three years, which is the first time in Iraq, noting that this contributes to "economic stability... All international financial institutions believe that Iraq's financial, social and economic situation needs a medium-term budget."

 

On the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar against the dollar, Al-Sudani affirmed that the Iraqi currency will continue to recover against the dollar, stressing: "I recall that the Iraqi dinar is strong, and our financial situation is in its best condition."

In answering some of the journalists' questions, Al-Sudani acknowledged the existence of "investigations of coerced confessions", which he considered "unacceptable".
He continued, "Among the files marred by corruption is the compensation file; there are people who have nothing to do with what the governorates were subjected to, who received compensation, while the deserving people did not receive their rights," stressing that removing obstacles that prevent the return of the displaced is a priority until they return to their places.

Al-Sudani said, "It is in the interest to start returning those who are outside Iraq from the displaced, after security checks and some procedures related to their reintegration into society," noting that "the file of the return of the displaced to Sinjar needs security and political arrangements to prepare for their full return. They are within limits." 200,000 citizens have fled to the region.

There is a neglect of housing and slums and the road network in the capital, Baghdad

- There is a group of residential cities that will be completed successively according to administrative procedures

The origin of the tripartite budget came in accordance with Financial Management Law No. 6 of 2019

- Every year we reach the eleventh month, the ministries are paralyzed due to the lack of a budget

Every year, the state loses 6 months due to the lack of a budget

Most of the projects presented in the budget include the electricity, hospitals and health sectors, in addition to services

The tripartite budget ensures financial stability and is a positive message to the private sector

The political, economic and societal situation in Iraq needs a medium-term budget

The first year in the tripartite budget is obligatory, and the second and third years are indicative

The tripartite budget includes a vision and all our priorities are included in it

The budget also includes a fund to support the poorest regions, according to the indicators of the Ministry of Labor

It is not possible to rely only on oil revenues alone, and our revenues must be improved

We raised the slogan of services to our government because it was a popular demand

Services are a priority for us, and we have begun to address them from several angles

We have a lot of projects that have been stalling since 2012

The operating budget in the tripartite budget is a result, not a decision taken

– There are many laws that we have worked to implement and have raised the operating budget, including installing lecturers and contractors, appointing holders of higher degrees, and paying loan dues that were not paid in previous years.

The government job should not be the only outlet for the citizen’s living income

It is hoped that parliament will vote on the pension and security law, and the government will contribute to the fund to provide benefits for workers in the private sector

The fluctuations in the exchange rates of the dollar are the result of the non-implementation of the agreement signed between the previous government and the Central Bank with the Federal Bank and the US Treasury.

The agreement ended less than a month after we approached the government, and we took responsibility and adopted procedures to comply with the global banking system

Our trade is distorted due to money laundering and smuggling, in addition to the lack of reliability in the banking system

The number of merchants who started registering on the online platform has increased

Every year I will go to Parliament and show them the revenue for those years

Refunds are not a novelty, but a law, and we move according to legal contexts

Iraq has agreements on refunds

All countries of the world are not flattering in the issue of combating corruption

We have bilateral agreements regarding the extradition of wanted persons and funds

Procedurally, corruption is one of the most difficult cases to prove

Resolution 186 regarding bribery was the prominent feature of the previous Bureau Order No. (29), which is a negative indicator in dealing with corruption.

We are close to completing investigations into the cases attributed to those involved in torturing those arrested on corruption charges, and the results will be announced

- No red lines on any corruption file

- The best way to get access to the corrupt money tracker

- We invited citizens to detect people whose money has inflated

Money recovery is the best way to fight corruption

The State Administration Coalition represents the incubator for this government

There is no such thing as disagreements, but there are views on the budget or the principle of partnership

Partnership outside the framework of the constitution is not acceptable

The government is the party most committed to implementing the political agreement

The government's commitment to the political framework represented by the State Administration Coalition is a moral and patriotic commitment

Expansion outside the political agreement is unacceptable

Some partners believe that the prime minister cannot take a decision in accordance with his powers except with the advice of political forces, and this is not true.

It is incorrect to refer to the components in order to issue an exemption or referral decision

The files of the return of the displaced and compensation for those affected are important

Compensation is one of the most corrupt files

We started the process of returning the displaced, even to those outside Iraq, after conducting a security check

The return of the displaced is part of the political agreement and everyone is committed to it

Stopping the region’s oil exports harms all of Iraq, not just the region

There are procedural issues after the agreement to resume exporting the region’s oil, and most of them have been resolved

The government submits a monthly report on everything it has accomplished at every meeting with the State Administration Coalition

The last report submitted by the government to the State Administration Coalition included an achievement of 31 percent in 6 months

After the expiration of the 6-month period, there will be a cabinet reshuffle

The economy is a factor that helps in strengthening the political relations of any country

The road to development is not a project for Iraq, but for the region and the world

It is hoped that after Eid, a conference will be held in Baghdad for transport ministers in the region to talk about the development path project

- Al-Faw port in the year 2025, in which the work of the Korean company “Daewoo” projects will be completed

Doubts about Romanowski's role

Sources reveal the details of the cabinet reshuffle, which includes 10 portfolios, including ministers of the Shiite framework

2023.04.20 - 10:21

 

Baghdad - Nas   

After the upcoming Eid holiday, Prime Minister Muhammad al-Sudani will start making the first government reshuffle, while this procedure may open the door to an “unexpected scenario.”  

  

 

  

There are many conflicting reports about the number of ministers included in the supposed change, between 3 to 10 ministers, and the reasons for the replacement appear to be different.  

  

Most of the information talks about service ministers who are included in the amendment, in addition to the possibility of overthrowing one of the security ministers and another who runs a sovereign portfolio.  

  

Two separate political sources spoke in an interview with (Al-Mada) about complex internal calculations in the issue of the government reshuffle, and about Al-Sudani's entry into the "hornet's nest."  

  

One of the exporters also touches on the issue of replacing governors, which may be postponed to another time.  

  

Prime Minister Muhammad al-Sudani had revealed, in an interview with a number of television channels, a cabinet reshuffle after the expiration of the 6-month deadline.  

  

In the meeting, which is supposed to be presented on Tuesday, he stressed that "there are no red lines in front of any corruption case."  

  

Al-Sudani had announced last year that he had given his ministers 6 months - the bulk of the deadline has now passed - to assess their performance, and 3 months for the governors (which ended more than a month ago).  

  

A source close to the coordination framework says: "If al-Sudani is stubborn in changing the ministers and does not agree with the parties, then he will be subject to change."  

  

What the source proposes may be a far-fetched hypothesis so far, but he points out that "parties within the Shiite coalition believe that the Sudanese is part of the quota equation, and change must include him if he decides to do so."  

  

The source, who is a leader in one of the Shiite parties, talks about leaks about the dismissal of 3, 8, and sometimes 10 ministers, including ministers affiliated with the State of Law coalition, such as Oil Minister Hayan Abdul Ghani.  

  

And Abdul-Ghani had threatened earlier, according to some information, to resign because of what was said at the time that the minister was disturbed by Asaib Ahl al-Haq's interference in the work of the ministry.  

  

Al-Maliki's bloc believes that Al-Sudani is close to Al-Asa'ib, led by Qais Al-Khazali, and implements what they want.  

  

The prime minister's dismissal of the oil minister, according to what is being leaked, may renew differences with al-Maliki.  

  

On the other hand, a minister from the Khazali bloc is also threatened with replacement, and he is the Minister of Education and a leader in Asa’ib, Naim al-Aboudi.  

  

According to the other source, a former deputy, "Al-Aboudi is being accused of having a degree from Lebanon that is not recognized by the Iraqi Ministry of Education, which is run by the former."  

  

There is also information indicating that Al-Sudani may want to get rid of some ministers who are rejected by the United States. According to what has been leaked, the two ministers most rejected by America are Al-Aboudi and the Minister of Labor, Ahmed Al-Asadi.  

  

Al-Assadi is the leader of the Jund al-Imam faction, while Asaib Ahl al-Haq was placed on US sanctions lists years ago.  

  

And news had circulated earlier, that part of the restrictions imposed on Iraq regarding the movement of the dollar related to sanctions on Iraqi figures participating in the government.  

  

According to the US Treasury laws that imposed these sanctions, it cannot deal with parties or economic institutions affiliated with the sanctioned personalities.  

  

Thus, the prime minister's visit to Washington also faltered, after the chances of him going to the United States were very high several months ago.  

  

And the government tried earlier, according to a statement by one of Al-Sudani's advisors, to deny that Washington placed restrictions on it, but he said that "the relationship with America is governed by interests."  

  

Parties in the coordination framework suspect that US Ambassador Elena Romanowski is behind the issue of replacing ministers close to the crowd.  

  

A few days ago, Al-Maliki criticized the ambassador's movements, whose meetings have been recorded since the formation of the government 5 months ago, about 50 visits by ministers and officials, more than 10 of which were with Al-Sudani.  

  

The last source believes that the ministers from the Shiite coalition are included in the change, in addition to oil, education, labor, agriculture and transportation, and the last two are from the share of the Badr Organization.  

  

About two months ago, parties in the coordination framework seemed disturbed by what they described as the "media distortion" that took place in one of the cabinet sessions.  

  

In that session, Al-Sudani criticized the performance of some ministers, while hinting that some of them were "threatened" by their parties.  

  

This was the first time that the prime minister, since assuming power last October, clashed with the Shiite coalition and the rest of the currents that participated in the government.  

  

He said in a speech during the cabinet session held in late February that "the minister ends his relationship with the political forces after his nomination and gaining the confidence of Parliament."  

  

And the prime minister stated in a clip broadcast on state television that "the minister who feels pressure or threat, I am present." A few hours after al-Sudani's speech, a number of ministers appeared during a meeting of the State Administration Coalition.  

  

In the last session, Al-Sudani added, "We did not see any preliminary indications of the performance of ministers in combating corruption, and ministers, officials and general managers must be present in the field to solve problems."  

  

On the Sunni side, there have been no indications so far of changes that might affect the ministers of the Taqaddam Party, which is led by Speaker of Parliament Muhammad al-Halbousi, despite the leaked differences between the latter and al-Sudani.  

  

Al-Halbousi and his partner Khamis al-Khanjar in the Sovereignty Alliance own 4 ministries: planning, industry, culture, and trade.  

  

In contrast, Azm's alliance, which is believed to be closer to the Shiite alliance than al-Halbousi, seems that one of its ministers is threatened with change, and he is Defense Minister Thabet al-Abbasi.  

  

A document had been leaked earlier (the authenticity of which could not be confirmed) stating that Al-Abbasi had escaped from the former army more than once, and had been dismissed from service with the rank of captain.  

  

The Minister of Defense is the leader of the Hasm bloc, which ran in the elections in Nineveh within the Azm coalition, and has 3 seats in Parliament.  

  

According to the probabilities, the process of replacing ministers may also include the Minister of Immigration for the Christian Babylon movement, Evan Faik, and the Minister of Water Resources, Aoun Diab.  

  

As for the governors, the source says that "there is a possibility that their change will be postponed until after the local elections," which are supposed to be held next November.  

  

The latter may spark disputes within the coordination framework, some of whose parties are waiting to take control of some provinces to prepare for the elections.

Khazali praises the Sadrist withdrawal and says: There is popular satisfaction with the current stage

2023.04.21 - 09:00

 

Baghdad - people  

The Secretary-General of the League of the Righteous, Qais Khazali, praised the withdrawal of the Sadrist movement, indicating that there is popular satisfaction with the current stage.  

  

  

Al-Khazali said in an interview with the media of his movement, followed by "NAS" (April 21, 2023), that "the Sudanese government bodes well because there is serious work, field follow-up, presence, and not leaving loose ends and credibility in promises, and this is reflected at the level of society, not just the political elite."  

  

Here are the highlights of what he said at the meeting:  

  

- I am not a fan of politics because it is not the level of my ambition, and I have almost decided to return to the seminary.  

  

- The biggest problem that the political process suffers from is the lack of an alternative to the Shiite-Kurdish alliance.  

  

- The correct and better explanation is that the largest bloc is the winner in the elections and not the one that is formed in Parliament.  

  

- Had it not been for the position of the National Union, Azm, Babylon and some independents, this result would not have occurred.  

  

- The elections are destined for the government and the Shiite framework is supportive of the prime minister.  

  

The current calm in the political situation has not occurred since 2003.  

  

- Some of the demands of the political agreement with the Sunni component were patriotic and some were unrealistic.  

  

- The coordination framework decided in principle to go down in the elections with more than one list.  

  

- The Sadrist movement is credited with its commitment to the decision to withdraw, and there is popular satisfaction with the current stage.  

  

- We made an effort to try not to let things go towards infighting.  

  

- The events of the Green Nights ended with minimal losses, and we endured a lot of pressure and transgression.  

  

- I was in the political office of the movement in the Jadiriyah region, following the events of the Green Night.  

  

- The matter at that time reached the point of threatening families with their homes, and we succeeded in making efforts and preventing the greatest danger.  

  

- There is no intention to legislate a general amnesty law and bidding politicians complicate this issue.  

  

- I am surprised at the talk about the legislation of the general amnesty law and what is presented as political outbids.  

  

- What was done was to amend a paragraph in the General Amnesty Law in coordination with the Judicial Council, and not to legislate a new law.  

  

- Whoever flexes his "muscles" on the issue of the displaced is the main reason for their non-return.  

  

Jurf al-Sakhar has a clear privacy and its bloody history needs to be dealt with.  

  

- The bulk of the families who did not return to their areas are not from Jurf al-Nasr and al-Awja.  

  

There must be media calm and security solutions to ensure that terrorists do not return to Jurf al-Nasr.  

  

- Whoever demands to reveal the fate of the disappeared in one region and ignores another is not honest.  

  

IDPs involved with terrorism must be isolated from IDPs forced by circumstances.  

  

- Al-Awja region has great sensitivity due to the involvement of relatives of the former Baathist regime in the Camp Speicher massacre.  

  

- We do not mind the return of the displaced to Al-Awja for those not involved with ISIS, but according to regular mechanisms.  

  

- Some politicians did not defend the return of the displaced to Amiriyat al-Fallujah and others.  

  

- Missing is the exact description and the term "disappeared" is used for a political dimension.  

  

- A large part of the missing persons are involved with ISIS, as evidenced by the case of Asmaa al-Attihar.   

  

The missing persons among the Shiite component are more than the Sunni component since 2003.  

  

There must be a comprehensive security search for the missing and following up on their files according to the law.  

  

- People from the Sunni component did not address the file of the missing with the correct methods and intentions.  

  

The missing persons in Kirkuk are many times more than the missing persons (Bzeibiz and Saqlawiyah) and others.  

  

- The presence of the Popular Mobilization Forces in the governorates that it liberated is necessary, given that its function is military security.  

  

Canceling the accountability and justice file through political claims is unconstitutional.  

  

The accountability and justice file was also subject to political bidding.  

  

- Reconciliation between the Islamic Republic and Saudi Arabia is an important step and has implications for the region.  

  

- The meetings of the American ambassador and her interference in issues related to the government are unacceptable and are infringing on sovereignty.

Saudi newspaper: Al-Sudani's change of a number of his ministers may spark a political dispute in the country

13:53  2023-04-20  186  Policy 0

 

Today, Thursday, a Saudi newspaper said that the change of Prime Minister Muhammad Shia al-Sudani to a number of his ministers could spark a political dispute in Iraq.

Al-Sharq Al-Awsat newspaper said in a report followed by Al-Muttala, that "for the first time since the formation of Iraqi governments after 2003, a prime minister announces that he is about to make a cabinet reshuffle among the members of his government, as well as a number of governors.

And the Iraqi Prime Minister, Muhammad Shia’ al-Sudani, who formed his government during the month of October 2022, pledged days after its formation that he would work to evaluate the performance of those with special grades in the country (general directors and undersecretaries of ministries) within 4 months and subject the ministers to evaluation within 6 months.
 

And according to what Al-Sudani recently revealed during a televised interview, the government is about to make amendments in the ministerial formation, and at the level of governors and general managers. While this announcement of the cabinet reshuffle is a source of strength for the prime minister, who has set several priorities in his government program that the government must adhere to, on the other hand, and according to the newspaper, it could open the door to a dispute with the political blocs regarding the ministries covered by the change of their ministers, as well as Conservatives, and it is perhaps the most controversial step in the event that Sudani took it.

And the newspaper stated, "The political blocs that are accustomed to defending their ministers and covering their corruption and failure files, which makes them complete the cabinet for 4 years without completion, will defend the minister to whom they belong by mobilizing him inside the dome of parliament, and perhaps in a way of mutual cooperation (minister). In exchange for a minister), which will spark a crisis within the State Administration Coalition, which stands behind the formation of the government. And in the event that an understanding is reached between the political blocs to amend smoothly with the prime minister, such a measure would strengthen the position of the prime minister, after he became About to pass a budget for the next 3 years.
 

With regard to governors, she explained that "there is a constitutional problem regarding their change, as they are elected by the provincial councils, and since the provincial councils were suspended about 4 years ago, the issue of changing governors in the absence of councils could spark a dispute between the political blocs to which he belongs." Conservatives covered by the change and between the Prime Minister.

Al-Sudani pledged during the meeting to restore confidence between the political system and the Iraqi citizen, noting that "the level of trust has decreased a lot, and therefore we need credibility to cooperate with citizens."

Regarding his intention to carry out a cabinet reshuffle, Al-Sudani said, "The ministers were given 6 months to conduct a real assessment in order to complete their work in the ministerial portfolios, and there is no courtesy in that, but there are tools and a plan that the government must implement, whether in the field of health, education or agriculture, And other various ministerial portfolios.
With regard to the provincial council elections, which have been suspended since 2019, Al-Sudani said, "The provincial council elections will not take place before next December 20," noting that "there are procedures and requirements that the Commission will not be able to complete before this date, and that there are forces An important politician in parliament sees the need to change it.

In the field of anti-corruption measures, as one of the priorities in the government program, including the recovery of stolen funds, Al-Sudani said, "Recovering funds is the best way to combat corruption."

He explained that "the government raised the slogan of services, which is one of the demands of the demonstrations, and the citizen's willingness to participate in the elections has become linked to this matter through the implementation of rapid services through the experience of service and engineering effort and the activation of lagging projects, and giving priority to infrastructure and the health and electricity sectors."
Regarding the controversy that arose recently about the budget, Al-Sudani said, "The tripartite budget means economic stability and a positive message for the private sector, and all international financial institutions advise that the private financial, social and economic situation of Iraq needs a medium-term budget," stressing that "the government job should not be The only outlet for citizens' living income, so we turned to activating the private sector. "And Al-Sudani indicated that" all fluctuations in the price of the dollar were the result of the failure to implement the agreement signed between the government and the Central Bank with the US Federal Reserve in the previous stage, as the duration of the agreement was two years.

Baghdadi newspaper revealed today, Thursday, that Prime Minister Muhammad Shia'a al-Sudani will begin the first cabinet change after the Eid holiday, while it indicated that the coordination framework doubts that the American ambassador is behind this.

Al-Mada newspaper said in a report, followed by "Al-Muttall'a", that "Prime Minister Muhammad al-Sudani is scheduled to begin, after the upcoming Eid holiday, to make the first government reshuffle, while this procedure may open the door to an unexpected scenario."

And she indicated that "the news is greatly conflicting about the number of ministers included in the supposed change between 3 to 10 ministers, and the reasons for the replacement seem different," noting that "most of the information talks about service ministers covered by the amendment, in addition to the possibility of overthrowing one of the security ministers and another who runs a sovereign portfolio." .”

The newspaper quoted an unnamed political source as saying that "complicated internal calculations lie in the issue of the government reshuffle, and that Al-Sudani entered the hornet's nest," noting that "the issue of replacing governors may be postponed to another time."

Prime Minister Muhammad al-Sudani had revealed, in an interview with a number of television channels, a cabinet reshuffle after the expiration of the 6-month deadline.  
 

In the meeting, he stressed that "there are no red lines in any corruption case."  

Al-Sudani announced last year that he had given his ministers 6 months - the bulk of the deadline has now passed - to assess their performance, and 3 months for governors (which ended more than a month ago).  

And the newspaper added, quoting its source, that "if Al-Sudani is stubborn in changing the ministers and does not agree with the parties, then he will be subject to change," explaining that "parties within the Shiite coalition believe that Al-Sudani is part of the quota equation, and the change must include him if he decides to do so."  

The newspaper revealed leaks that there were "the dismissal of 3 or 8, and sometimes 10 ministers, including ministers affiliated with the State of Law coalition, such as Oil Minister Hayan Abdul Ghani."

The newspaper added, "Al-Maliki's bloc believes that Al-Sudani is close to Al-Asa'ib, led by Qais Al-Khazali, and implements what they want," explaining that "the prime minister's dismissal of the oil minister may renew differences once again with Al-Maliki."

And she explained, "The Minister of Education, Naim al-Aboudi of the Asa'ib bloc, is also threatened with replacement," noting that "accusations are about al-Aboudi regarding his certificate from Lebanon, which is not recognized by the Iraqi Ministry of Education, which is run by the former."

She pointed out that "Al-Sudani may want to get rid of some ministers who are rejected by the United States," noting that "the two ministers most rejected by America are Al-Aboudi and Labor Minister Ahmed Al-Asadi."

And news had circulated earlier, that part of the restrictions imposed on Iraq regarding the movement of the dollar related to sanctions on Iraqi figures participating in the government.  

According to the US Treasury laws that imposed these sanctions, it cannot deal with parties or economic institutions affiliated with the sanctioned personalities.  

The newspaper added, "The prime minister's visit to America faltered after the chances of him going to the United States were very high several months ago."

And the government tried earlier, according to a statement by one of Al-Sudani's advisors, to deny that Washington placed restrictions on it, but he said that "the relationship with America is governed by interests."  

The newspaper added, "Parties in the coordination framework suspect that US Ambassador Elena Romanowski is behind the issue of replacing ministers close to the crowd."

A few days ago, Al-Maliki criticized the ambassador's movements, whose meetings have been recorded since the formation of the government 5 months ago, about 50 visits by ministers and officials, more than 10 of which were with Al-Sudani.  
 

The newspaper suggested that "the ministers from the Shiite coalition are included in the change, in addition to oil, education, work, agriculture and transportation, and the last two are from the share of the Badr Organization."

About two months ago, parties in the coordination framework seemed disturbed by what they described as the "media distortion" that took place in one of the cabinet sessions.  

In that session, Al-Sudani criticized the performance of some ministers, while hinting that some of them were "threatened" by their parties.  

This was the first time that the prime minister, since assuming power last October, clashed with the Shiite coalition and the rest of the currents that participated in the government.  

He said in a speech during the cabinet session held in late February that "the minister ends his relationship with the political forces after his nomination and gaining the confidence of Parliament."  

And the prime minister stated in a clip broadcast on state television that "the minister who feels pressure or threat, I am present." A few hours after al-Sudani's speech, a number of ministers appeared during a meeting of the State Administration Coalition.  

In the last session, Al-Sudani added, "We did not see any preliminary indications of the performance of ministers in combating corruption, and ministers, officials and general managers must be present in the field to solve problems."  

And the newspaper added, "On the Sunni side, there have been no indications so far of changes that might affect the ministers of the Taqaddam Party, which is led by Speaker of Parliament Muhammad al-Halbousi, despite the leaked differences between the latter and al-Sudani."

Al-Halbousi and his partner Khamis al-Khanjar in the Sovereignty Alliance own 4 ministries: planning, industry, culture, and trade.  

Al-Mada added, "The Azm coalition, which is believed to be closer to the Shiite alliance than al-Halbousi, seems to be that one of its ministers is threatened with change, and he is Defense Minister Thabet al-Abbasi."

A document had been leaked earlier (the authenticity of which could not be confirmed) stating that Al-Abbasi had escaped from the former army more than once, and had been dismissed from service with the rank of captain.  

The Minister of Defense is the leader of the Hasm bloc, which ran in the elections in Nineveh within the Azm coalition, and has 3 seats in parliament.  

According to the newspaper, "the process of replacing ministers may also include the Minister of Immigration for the Christian Babylon movement, Evan Faik, and the Minister of Water Resources, Aoun Diab."

As for the governors, the newspaper says that "there is a possibility that their change will be postponed until after the local elections that are supposed to be held next November," indicating that "the latter may spark differences within the coordination framework, some of whose parties are waiting to control some provinces to prepare for the elections."

Leaks: The cabinet reshuffle in Iraq.. Al-Sudani and Al-Maliki face to face

2023.04.22 - 10:41

 

Baghdad - Nas  

Leaks from within the "Coordination Framework", the ruling coalition in Iraq, indicate that an imminent clash between the prime minister and influential parties regarding the upcoming cabinet reshuffle could upset the Shiite balance.  

  

 

  

Last Thursday, Prime Minister Muhammad Shia'a al-Sudani announced, in a move that was the first since the formation of governments after 2003, that he was about to make an amendment affecting ministers in his government and a number of governors.  

  

Various sources and partisan media indicate that the cabinet reshuffle will include ministers who failed to perform their duties, according to assessments conducted by Al-Sudani after 6 months of work.  

  

Representatives from different Shiite parties said that Al-Sudani "got a green light to replace the ministers, their deputies and the governors, and that the selection of the new ministers will take place in consultation with the leaders of those parties."  

  

But the scenes of the “coordination framework”, which resembles “hot tin” these days, indicate that if the amendment actually took place, the “coordination framework” would not remain in its current form, and that Al-Sudani is now in open confrontation with prominent leaders of the Shiite alliance.  

  

Although the leaks talk about "service" ministers who will be replaced due to "poor performance", the major confrontation that al-Sudani is engaged in will be with former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, regarding the replacement of the oil and interior ministers.  

  

Al-Sudani is trying to change the Minister of Oil, who belongs to the "State of Law Coalition", which is led by Al-Maliki, who insists on changing the Minister of Interior, who was nominated by Al-Sudani for the position, when the government was formed at the end of last year.  

  

For months, the relationship between Al-Sudani and Al-Maliki was not good, due to sharp disagreements regarding government administration, which sometimes reached the open, as the leader of the “State of Law Coalition” did not miss opportunities for his television appearances to direct criticism of Al-Sudani’s work.  

  

The change of the oil minister will be an announcement of the start of stormy fluctuations within the coordination framework, as the private sources say that “a strike like this against al-Maliki will change a lot in the existing equation.” Therefore, mediators from Shiite parties are trying to persuade al-Sudani to leave the matter, while party leaders are pressuring him to stop the ministerial reshuffle project. .  

  

The fact is that Shiite parties believe that targeting al-Maliki is “almost impossible” because of his political and numerical weight within the “coordinating framework,” and that this would mean for them to respond to al-Sudani by withdrawing confidence from him.  

  

But what is the story of the oil minister whom al-Sudani wants to replace, as part of the upcoming amendment project? Sources close to the government offices say that “the matter does not go beyond technical reviews of the minister’s performance.” However, in the kitchen of the “coordinating framework,” there is another story related to a major disagreement between the minister and the “Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq” movement, regarding contracts for oil projects.  

  

The sources say that the minister close to Al-Maliki rejected investment contracts related to oil facilities in favor of parties affiliated with the movement led by Qais Khazali, who now feels that the minister's positions are directed against the movement under pressure from Al-Maliki. On the other hand, the Minister of the Interior, who may be affected by the cabinet reshuffle, is not going through good times, due to a wave of criticism over security incidents, the latest of which was the escape of the head of the Sunni Endowment Office from a police station.  

  

However, the issue of his change is no longer linked to his government performance, but rather to al-Maliki's position on him, who was not satisfied with his candidacy from the beginning, as the sources say, in addition to his being placed on the list of those included in the ministerial change, which may be "a response to the targeting of the oil minister."  

  

This turbulent atmosphere may reach the stage of breaking bones between the leaders of the “coordinating framework”, while Al-Sudani puts himself in a decisive confrontation with his allies, any result in which will undoubtedly upset the Shiite balance, whether by the Prime Minister’s retreat from the amendment, or proceeding with it and enduring the possibilities of disintegration. the frame".

'confusion and misleading'

Al-Sudani's office officially clarifies what has been rumored about upcoming changes in senior management positions

2023.04.22 - 23:12

 

Baghdad - Nas  

Today, Saturday, the Prime Minister's Office issued a clarification about the news that spoke about Al-Sudani's intention to move to change some governors, after the end of the Eid Al-Fitr holiday.  

  

  

  

And the office stated in a statement, which “NAS” received a copy of (April 22, 2023), that some media platforms circulated news about changes in senior administrative positions in the Iraqi state, stressing that “all that is being circulated is false news from websites and platforms.” Its aim is to confuse and mislead public opinion.  

  

He pointed out that "in the event that there is any administrative procedure or decision related to the government's work, it will be published clearly and transparently on the official media platforms, as is known and usual."  

  

The statement called, "the professional media to be careful in publishing and circulating such news, and to adopt accurate information from its official sources, in order to ensure professionalism and miss the opportunity for those who try to disturb the general situation in the country."  

  

According to leaks from within the "Coordinating Framework", the ruling coalition in Iraq, that an imminent clash between the prime minister and influential parties, regarding the upcoming cabinet reshuffle, may upset the Shiite balances.

An analysis detailing the causes of confusion in the upcoming cabinet reshuffle within the Sudanese government

2023.04.23 - 13:01

 

Baghdad - Nas  

The Iraqi political forces are currently facing a confused situation, after the intention of Prime Minister Muhammad Shia' al-Sudani to make the first cabinet reshuffle in his government after the end of the six-month period that he set for evaluating the ministers, while the latter hastened to reassure everyone through a brief statement to his office denying making changes to senior administrative positions.  

  

  

  

Al-Sudani revealed in a recent televised interview that he had approached his ministers, if he accepted their joining his cabinet, that they would be included in an evaluation of their performance after six months, which may lead to a change of those who prove unable to perform his duties because it will put his partners in the state administration coalition in a critical corner.  

  

This coalition includes the forces of the Shiite coordination framework and has 12 ministries out of the cabinet consisting of 22 ministries, the Sunni forces have 6 ministries, the Kurds have 4 ministries, and what is left for minorities according to the quota system is the one behind the formation of the government through an overwhelming majority in the Iraqi Parliament (280 MPs out of 329), while the independents, who number about 40, remained outside the formation.  

  

An analysis of the London-based Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper, followed by Nass (April 23, 2023), stated that the composition of this coalition seems complicated in terms of expanding component representation (Shiites, Sunnis, and Kurds). For any prime minister, it is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, he has the majority capable of withdrawing confidence from the prime minister or any member of his government.  

  

But on the other hand, he faces a crisis of representation and composition from within, which makes the prime minister have enough space to move and be free from the number of obligations that were imposed on prime ministers in previous parliamentary sessions.  

  

Accordingly, Al-Sudani now has the will to bring about the required change, including dismissing ministers and nominating their replacements, as long as the mechanism of change is linked to their performance and not to a prior political position.  

  

Observers believe that the forces of the Shiite coordination framework, which is the largest parliamentary bloc, and which formed this government in the absence of its stubborn opponent Muqtada al-Sadr, do not want to put obstacles in front of the Prime Minister's steps, including his intention to change ministers affiliated with their parties, which makes them sacrifice a few ministers. In exchange for what it considers the continued success of the ministerial cabinet, which it considers as a success for it.  

  

The matter applies to a large extent to the Kurds and Sunnis, based on the fact that they have signed with their Shiite partners a paper of political demands that guarantee even the minimum of what they believe to be their rights, which makes them strongly supportive of the prime minister. Nevertheless, and according to what is going on in closed rooms, some of the forces of the Shiite coordination framework fear that the success of al-Sudani will be at their expense, especially as they approach the provincial elections after months, in addition to the parliamentary elections after the completion of this cycle.
