NC deputy rules out early elections as no one will relinquish power

05/06/2011 21:52

Karbala, June 5 (AKnews) – Staging early elections in Iraq following the recent threats of withdrawal by a major parliamentary bloc from the government, is not probable, says a member of the National Coalition (NC) led by Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki.

The statement of the NC’s Ahmed al-Abbasi came in response to the al-Iraqiya list’s announced plans to withdraw from the government and call for early elections.

“Al-Iraqiya cannot call for early elections because they are part of the power-sharing government,” said al-Abbasi.

The MP said that withdrawing from the national unity government would constitute a betrayal of the electorate who put them there in the first place.

Al-Iraqiya accuses Maliki's bloc of not committing to an October 2010 power-sharing deal signed in Erbil which brought the feuding political parties together after an eight-month impasse over who would lead the government.

The most prominent part of the deal was the establishment of a new body, the National Council for Strategic Policies (NCSP), to be headed by al-Iraqiya leader Ayad Allawi.

Six months after the current government was formed, the body has yet to be formed.

Al-Iraqiya, who came first in the March 2010 elections with a small margin of two seats ahead of Maliki’s bloc, have been accusing the NC of violating the terms of the Erbil accord.

The NC however has referred to the renewed call for the formation of the NCSP as “Raising the dead” after Allawi relinquished claim to its leadership in March this year, saying that al-Iraqiya must now just forget about the new body.

Maliki said earlier in the week that if the power-sharing government falls apart, they will form a majority government.

Staging early elections in Iraq following the recent threats of withdrawal by a major parliamentary bloc from the government, is not probable,.........Al-Iraqiya cannot call for early elections because they are part of the power-sharing government.........The MP said that withdrawing from the national unity government would constitute a betrayal of the electorate who put them there in the first place........The most prominent part of the deal was the establishment of a new body, the National Council for Strategic Policies (NCSP), to be headed by al-Iraqiya leader Ayad Allawi............ Maliki said earlier in the week that if the power-sharing government falls apart, they will form a majority government...........See this is what will happen if allawi doesnt quit fighting every thing maliki tries to bring or do, as ive said over and over allawi can threaten all he wants but at the end of the day when its all said and done the rest of the gov and parl will not shut down maliki they love there jobs and to shut down maliki shuts them down and they all lose there jobs and have to start all over ..no one wants that but allawi, as maliki told the korean countries PM when he was sewing up that contract with korea to bring in goods an help in reconstruction...he said..if allawi keeps on in the end he will find himself lonely and with out a government to be a part of...so we see that if allawi doesnt give in and stop the stale mate hes been giving..they will hold a majority vote and it will be in favor of maliki...so the gov can finally be set the people will be givin hope that they really do have a gov and then they can begin to rebuild iraq and the lives of its people...all imo..BL

............ US forces will remain in Kirkuk, says Kirkuk governor

05/06/2011 19:49

Kirkuk, June 5 (AKnews) - Kirkuk governor Najmaddin Karim said on Sunday that US forces will stay in Kirkuk beyond the December 2011 deadline for their withdrawal set in a security agreement signed between Iraq and Washington in 2008.

Currently, there are some 47,000 remaining US troops in Iraq, about a quarter of the number that were stationed here following the 2003 invasion.

”We have told the US officials that until article 140 of the Iraqi constitution is implemented, the US forces must stay in the disputed areas,” said Mr. Karim, “…and the US officials have given us guarantees that their forces will remain.”

Article 140 of the Iraqi constitution outlines a three-stage process to resolving the disputes over areas contested by the Kurdistan Regional Government and the central government in Baghdad.

The process involves a period of normalization – whereby the security environment is stabilized – followed by the restoration of the original demographic balance (which was altered by the former Iraqi regime, often at the expense of indigenous Kurds), and culminating with a referendum, which will enable local people to decide the constitutional status of these areas.

Article 140 is mainly evoked in the case of the oil-rich province of Kirkuk, which remains the main source of tension between the Kurdistan capital, Erbil, and Baghdad.

Mr. Karmi said that “terrorist” groups such as al-Qaeda, Ansar al-Sunnah and Naqshbandi pose a real threat to Kirkuk which is why the US forces need to stay in the province.

The majority of ethnic groups in Kirkuk also agree that the US forces should stay in the disputed areas to prevent ethnic tensions from developing into conflicts.

”We do not mind the US force withdrawal from Iraq,” Kasrmi continued, “…but when the Kirkuk issue has been resolved, along with the consolidation of Kirkuk’s security services”.

Elsewhere in Iraq however, opposition to the continued US presence in the country is widespread.

Iraq’s anti-American Shia cleric, Moqtada al-Sadr has repeatedly threatened to step up “resistance” and mobilize his militia, the Mahdi Army, if the US troops fail to withdraw on schedule.

At the end of last month, an unarmed Mahdi army, numbering thousands of uniformed militia, marched through the streets of Sadr City in Baghdad in a show of force, protesting the prolonged “occupation” of the US forces.

Sadr’s political movement, the Sadrist Current, is one of the key components of the coalition that put the Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki in power.

Hmmmm so per my private convo with drc when i asked so did maliki make a deal with the devil when he 1st went to iran when he was tryin to be pm back in novemeber 2010 did he make a deal with sadr to allow sadr back into iraq after maliki had had a bloody war with the mahdi army and sadr in 2008, when maliki took the iraqi army and whipped sadr an his armys tail sending sadr running and into exile where he fled to iran to protect him....and maliki needed majority votes to win over allawi in the elections he had to have the sadrist and the kurds to be able to have the majority over allawi, so he did imo go ask for sadrs help within the sadrist bloc which is sadr's and he promised him he could come back to iraq, and help with in the government, as sadr always wanted to be a man in power and throw his weight around within the government as weve seen him doing and protesting USA wanting to kick us out of iraq, and then a couple of weeks ago maliki sayin he wants clerics to play a bigger role in the gov, and then as we saw last week..sadr sayin he can and would concile allawi and maliki and thru HIM and his innititive bring about the forming over the government...which i kinda believe maliki will use sadr to get what he wants but in the end maliki is watching sadr and will put him in check after hes achieved all he wants from sadr he will then throw him under the bus and allow US troops to stay or extend them but he will use the saddrist blocs to win the majority vote and set the final part of the government...all this is imo... ...............

See remember when we were talking about what they are fighting over now and imo and i kinda believe its the last thing its allawis want for at least as much if not more or close to it the power of being prime minister which maliki will never agree too because to have 2 chiefs would doom them as weve already seen with there fighting over every thing..allawi would fight maliki on no matter what he tried to do or laws he needed to pass whatever, so i had said hopefully they can just vote on what theve already agreed on and complete the government as they had already agreed on the ministers form the gov set it announce it pass the import 200 plus laws that wait on a complete goi's signitures such as the HCL and emplementing the tarriff taxes which ill pull the new tarriff taxes article next... but read this line here from this article***** Political blocs invited to sit and dialogue to resolve outstanding problems, noting that the initiatives leading to solutions through political concessions. Iraqi MP said: the remarks about the new initiative launched by President Jalal Talabani is significant ambiguity, referring to his will the dialogues to bypass this stage and the implementation of the remaining conventions.*****bypass this stage and the implementation of the remaining conventions.*** i hope this is what this means as this is talibanis new inititive the final straw if they dont do this imo then it will go to a majority vote and they will vote in favor of malikis gov there wont be any new elections allawi is just being his normal woosy self...and no one in the gov or parl wants to lose there jobs and start all over so imo this is the last stage if allawi dont agree to wait to fight on his power trip
