the French newspaper Lacroix wrote that two months after the start of the popular uprising against corruption in Iraq and Lebanon, the situation appears complicated in both countries, noting that the difficulty of finding alternatives to the two outgoing prime ministers, Adel Abdul Mahdi and Saad Hariri, reveals the extent of conflict and conflict of interest in them as it reflects The condition of their stunting.
The newspaper's analysis came under the title: The Lebanese and Iraqi uprisings are at a dead end.
The newspaper says that the Iraqis and the Lebanese succeeded, within weeks of the demonstrations against the existing political class, in overthrowing the two heads of government in each of them. While the Lebanese managed to get rid of their prime minister peacefully, the Iraqis paid a heavy price for this, as 400 people were killed and thousands wounded and disappeared.
However, the second step on the path to change seems difficult. After two months of the popular uprising, the demonstrators discovered the scale of the mission and the intransigence of politicians in both countries. The most difficult difficulty for both Lebanon and Iraq lies in arriving at the nomination of a prime minister to succeed the ousted prime minister.
In Iraq, the President and Parliament are scrambling to suggest a new name for the Prime Minister. As the Presidency and Parliament realize, as is the case in Lebanon, that any proposal they will submit will not be accepted, and the initiator of a personal proposal for the Prime Minister will be protested by the demonstrators who demand the eradication of the existing system in the two countries.
In a strange paradox, it is expected that the name of the new prime minister will be announced in Beirut and Baghdad today, December 19, although no one trusts the possibility of getting out of the crisis.
In Iraq, public opinion does not see the possibility of a solution to the dilemma, says Adel Bakawan. As for Lebanon and in the hands of Christmas, no one can say for sure what the President of the Republic, Michel Aoun, may set for the ongoing consultations to appoint a prime minister. In Baghdad, as in Beirut, there was one hypothesis confirming the rulers' adherence to their posts, namely the possibility of the return of the prime ministers of Adel Abdul Mahdi in Iraq and Saad Hariri in Lebanon, although the latter denied his intention to run to succeed himself.
Another political dilemma is sectarian quotas, political researcher Joseph Mayla says. In Lebanon, for example, consultations are stalled at the point of forming a government that cannot be absent from any component "of Sunnis, Shiites and Christians."
If the current crisis is represented in a confrontation between the street and political leaders and between political leaders among them, then the absence of leadership for the revolution increases the complexity of the scene. The revolutionaries in both countries avoid avoiding appointing revolution leaders for security reasons, "especially in Iraq, where assassinations are increasing," as well as to protect the revolution from infiltration of regimes.
As a result of this fact, demonstrators in the Tahrir Square in Baghdad and the Martyrs Square in Beirut are calling for the formation of two technocratic governments, which is rejected by political parties. Even if the political parties accept the formation of two national salvage governments, the question arises about the readiness of the revolutionaries to form a government of technocrats who do not include their sects, says Joseph Mayla, who confirms that the scale of the impasse is unprecedented.
Didier Beyon, associate director of the Institute for International and Strategic Relations, says foreign influence is further complicating the situation in Iraq and Lebanon, as the United States and Iran are wrestling with proxies in Iraq and at a smaller scale in Lebanon.
