Emerging Plan for Shape of New Government in Iraq

While Nouri al-Maliki will be officially designated on November 25 to form a new government for Iraq, discussions among the various political groups are intensifying regarding the allocation of the ministerial positions among and within them.

According to the Iraqi government daily al-Sabah, the emerging plan is to allocate 18 ministries to the National Alliance (al-Maliki, al-Sadr, and al-Hakim), nine ministries to al-Iraqiya (Ayad Allawi and the Sunnis), seven ministries to the Kurdish Alliance (Barazani/Talabani) and one ministry to the Christians.

There will be a number of ministers without portfolio, and there are hints of increasing the number of prime ministerial deputies and various ministers to satisfy the demand for high government posts with their generous emoluments by the various groups within the major blocs.

(Given the fractious nature of the political groups in Iraq, a new government is not likely to emerge before the end of the year. The speaker of parliament has announced that each member of the government will be voted on separately, which could further prolong the process and the bargaining).

Thanks for the post!

[AFvet]

Thanks again

[Loingsign]

Doesn't sound good. But really, how long could it take? Don't you think they've already got their ducks in a row and could announce several members in a single day?

Now I'm even more confused about this.

Thanks for the post Tony

[unclegeek]

ummm....no.

[hspotman]

It's actually Maliki and co. telling the world in other words, "Sell your dinar, we won't have this figured out in time! So you won't make any money off of us, there is no need to keep your dinar." ....just so they can rv afterwards

[Silhouette]

"could further prolong the process" really/what else is new? Thank you TonyR!

[Loingsign]

Does the entire parliament have to be seated in order for the RV to happen? Probably a stupid question, but I'll take my chances.

[daniel c]

[doc9574]

Loingsign according to what I was told by a dinar dealer the answer to your question is yes the government has to be formed and all seated, just passing on the info

[mrparrot]

Quit stressing.

It will be finished "soon"... :lol::lol::lol:

[Krash]

Thanks for the info, I think!

CAN I GO HOME NOW? AFGHANISTAN SUCKS!
