[size=52]The struggle to form a government .. “Sadr coup” over the political equation pushes Al-Maliki to the fore[/size]
[size=45]The British "Middle East Eye" website considered, on Tuesday, that the current Iraqi political tension is represented by the efforts of the Sadrist movement's leader Muqtada al-Sadr to impose his complete control and change the existing rules of the game, while the former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki seeks to "restore his throne" by attracting " His opponents” bruised by loss.[/size]
[size=45]The British site said in a translated report that the Sadrists are betting on getting rid of the power-sharing system in place since 2003, and monopolizing the rule, which gave Maliki's camp new hope that its influence would grow.[/size]
[size=45]The report pointed out that the recent elections "sharply redrawn the map of the influence of Shiite forces, and intensified the rivalry between Muqtada al-Sadr and Nuri al-Maliki."[/size]
[size=45]Manual Counting Losing Paper[/size]
[size=45]The report quoted Iraqi officials and politicians as saying that the results of the manual recount will not be imminent and will not change the election results significantly.[/size]
[size=45]The report pointed out that the Sadrist bloc now represents the largest bloc in Parliament, and enjoys the exclusive right to nominate the next prime minister and form the government, and for this reason al-Sadr appears cheerful, ignoring the complaints of the Iranian-backed factions in order to continue negotiations to form the government, leaving those groups fearing that he will seek To impose complete domination and, therefore, marginalize it.[/size]
[size=45]According to officials, observers and faction leaders, al-Maliki is exploiting these fears and using them as a means of pressure to be able to obtain a strong position.[/size]
[size=45]Factions' fears[/size]
[size=45]The report quoted a senior Shiite political leader close to Iran as saying that "everyone knows that manual recounting of votes is useless and that the results will not change."[/size]
[size=45]He considered that the Iranian-backed factions are in an "unenviable situation", after they controlled the country and the authorities from outside the state, "but they have now lost both."[/size]
[size=45]And the "political leader" continued, saying that "all of them, including al-Maliki, are worried that Muqtada al-Sadr will swallow them up and swallow up the state, and that is why they are looking for a way to return things to their previous status one way or another."[/size]
[size=45]According to the same official, armed factions bruised after the elections are gathering around al-Maliki in the hope that he will act as a counterweight to al-Sadr, "but the scene is so complicated that things will not be that simple."[/size]
[size=45]The official added, "The great differences between the parties in the Shiite arena, which resulted from the elections, make it very difficult to accept the traditional solutions that have prevailed during the past years."[/size]
[size=45]Scary Chest Project[/size]
[size=45]The report pointed out that Iraq has been governed since 2006, through a power-sharing system that distributes positions proportionally among the largest winners in the elections, explaining that although all the past four elections resulted in a prominent winner, different parties were included in the governments that are formed.[/size]
[size=45]But a senior leader in the Sadrist movement told the British website that it is a system that "produced consensual governments from which everyone benefits, but no one is responsible for their failure... al-Sadr wants this to end, even if it cost him his life."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Sadr announced last Sunday his call to form a national majority government, so that there would be two parties in parliament: loyalists and opposition.[/size]
[size=45]The Sadrist leader indicated to the British website that Muqtada al-Sadr's project revolves around forming a government that he fully adopts and bears full responsibility for in the event of its success or failure, adding that the Sadrists will choose the prime minister, form the government and supervise its work.[/size]
[size=45]He continued, "Al-Sadr this time will not allow under any circumstances to return to playing in the gray zone. The government will be our government, and al-Sadr himself will follow up on all the details on a daily basis.”[/size]
[size=45]thoracic inversion[/size]
[size=45]The report pointed out that Sadr's opponents, such as al-Maliki, Ammar al-Hakim and Haider al-Abadi, view the demand for complete control of the new government as a "blatant violation" of the political base that has maintained the dominance of various political and armed forces and factions since 2003.[/size]
[size=45]The report considered that "Al-Sadr is now tearing up the rulebook" in force since that time, noting that competitors and former partners alike are now denouncing Muqtada Al-Sadr's plans, as a "coup" against them.[/size]
[size=45]The report quoted a senior leader in a pro-Iranian armed faction as saying, “Al-Sadr’s opponents believe that accepting what the elections produced means an inevitable loss in the medium term, and therefore this must be confronted now in order to try to ensure their continuity and protection.”[/size]
[size=45]He continued, "They cannot confront Muqtada directly, neither politically because of the lack of their seats, nor militarily, because this means the outbreak of fighting between the Shiites, so they resorted to al-Maliki."[/size]
[size=45]The leader added, "Al-Maliki also needs them to confront al-Sadr and re-market himself as the savior of the armed and Shiite factions."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Maliki and Sadr's opponents[/size]
[size=45]The report quoted a Shiite politician as saying that al-Maliki, while he was in the opposition, used his experience, contacts and position to gather the opponents of al-Sadr around him in an attempt to "erase his defeat and restore his lost throne, by forming an alliance equal to or greater than al-Sadr's."[/size]
[size=45]Although some accused Sadr's opponents of trying to cancel the elections and cause a security crisis, but one of Maliki's advisers said that the former prime minister seeks instead to develop the idea of "politically correcting the current situation." He (Al-Maliki) does not seek to head the government, but what he wants is to control the pace of the armed factions.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Maliki's advisor explained that these armed factions "have been subjected to an unexpected shock and are currently losing, and they cannot walk with Muqtada because they do not trust him, and they are also not inclined to the option of admitting their defeat and withdrawing."[/size]
[size=45]He continued, "Political correction of the situation is the solution. And a political agreement that preserves everyone’s influence and provides them with the required protection can end the problem and satisfy all parties.”[/size]
[size=45]As for the nature of this “political correction” that al-Maliki proposes, a leader in Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq says that it is represented by a return to consensus and the formation of a government of “national participation,” meaning that the al-Sadr and al-Maliki camps unite, and thus “everyone returns to their homes without problems.”[/size]
[size=45]A political leader close to al-Maliki said that the former prime minister “believes that he is the only one capable of containing the armed factions, so it is time to present himself as a godfather and guide to the political process, and not as a prime minister as some promote.” Will he succeed in any of his endeavors? This is another issue."[/size]
