BAGHDAD - Mawazine News
The events of the last quarter of 2019 formed a detailed matter in the political life of Iraq that led until the moment to the resignation of the Prime Minister, and the President of the country put his resignation before Parliament in refusal to name the last candidates for the position of prime minister.
On the first of October, I launched in the capital Baghdad and other governorates in the center and south of the country after invitations on social media and civilian activists, wide popular demonstrations in protest against the deteriorating economic conditions in the country, and the spread of administrative corruption and unemployment.
The demands of the demonstrators reached the resignation of the Adel Abdul Mahdi government, the formation of an interim government, and the holding of early elections.
The authorities faced these protests with reactions that were not free of violence, ranging from firing live bullets, using sound bombs and firing water and tear gas to protesters, and unidentified snipers fired live bullets against the demonstrators (a third party as the government shot them at the time and was not known to any party They belong so far).
The authorities announced a curfew in the capital, Baghdad, and closed the roads leading to Tahrir Square, as well as social networking sites and cut Internet service throughout the country with the exception of the Kurdistan region.
The number of martyrs from the demonstrators in the first week of the protests reached tens of martyrs and thousands wounded, at which time the Iraqi Prime Minister mentioned in a statement his keenness to solve the problems, and announced the formation of committees to receive all the demands, and to conduct an investigation into the victims who had fallen.
The protests stopped a week after they started
On the eighth of October, the protests stopped temporarily due to the "forty visit" ceremony, to return and start largely in Baghdad on the twenty-fifth of the month, as the demonstrators flocked to the liberation square adjacent to the heavily fortified green area in the center of the capital, and the renewed protests coincided with the formation of the government A commission to investigate the killing of the demonstrators.
A report of the commission revealed the martyrdom of 149 civilians and eight members of the police, and the government issued decisions to exempt police leaders in the governorates of Baghdad, Dhi Qar, Diwaniyah, Babil, Najaf, Wasit and Maysan and to transfer them for investigation, and the committee did not reveal the names of snipers who targeted the demonstrators.
This was accompanied by an escalation of protests in the cities of central and southern Iraq, especially the holy Dhi Qar, Karbala, Najaf al-Ashraf, Basra, and Muthanna, where protesters burned the headquarters of political parties and a number of government buildings in protest against the policy of these parties, with the cutting of a number of roads leading to oil well fields and border ports. It was accompanied by clashes with the security forces, which resulted in martyrs and wounded demonstrators and security forces.
Assault on Iranian representations
As protests continued, early November demonstrators burned the Iranian consulate building in the holy Karbala governorate, and this is the second Iranian consulate to be burned in Iraq, after the Basra consulate during the 2018 demonstrations, and protesters raised the Iraqi flag over the walls of the building The consulate.
The scene was repeated at the end of November, when protesters burned the Iranian consulate in Najaf, in conjunction with violent clashes in the city of Nasiriyah, which led to about 32 martyrs and more than 225 wounded demonstrators.
On the 25th of November, about 25 demonstrators were killed in the center of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, in addition to three policemen, and about seventy were wounded by gunfire by unknown gunmen who stormed Al-Khilani Square.
The High Commissioner for Human Rights warned of the insecurity of the security situation, calling on the security forces to intervene and restore security to the demonstration grounds, with the number of martyrs reaching about 500 martyrs and more than 20,000 thousand wounded demonstrators.
Abdul-Mahdi's resignation
On November 30, Adel Abdul-Mahdi submitted his resignation from the Presidency of the Council of Ministers in response to the request of the Supreme Religious Authority, Mr. Ali al-Husseini al-Sistani, as a prelude to the holding of new elections that would calm the situation in the country. While this resignation did not stop the momentum of the protests in the country, and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in Iraq announced that the death toll from the protests during the past two months increased to 460 martyrs and more than 17 thousand wounded.
Assassinations and kidnappings
Since the protests began in the beginning of October, the capital, Baghdad and the central and southern governorates of the country witnessed dozens of assassinations and kidnappings against Iraqi activists and bloggers by unknown armed groups, and the victims (including women) shared that they were supporters or supporters of the demonstrations, amid local calls And international support for the Iraqi government to end these operations.
International positions
International attitudes have varied between "calling early elections", undertaking political reforms, demanding an immediate end to violence against demonstrators, exercising restraint to reduce further casualties, achieving full accountability of perpetrators, and releasing all detained peaceful protesters.
The United Nations Mission in Iraq (UNAMI) also launched an initiative based on principles, procedures and reforms that should be implemented "immediately" and in the short and medium term by the government to defuse the crisis, while UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed his deep concern over the high number of deaths and injuries during Demonstrations taking place in Iraq.
Conflict and political confusion
In front of these big protests, the Iraqi political forces fell into a cycle of conflict, and until now, in choosing a prime minister to succeed resigned Adel Abdul Mahdi, where the protesters in Tahrir Square in Baghdad and other provinces rejected all the names proposed by the political blocs, especially the "construction" coalition (led by Hadi al-Amiri) Which it says is the largest bloc in Parliament and concerned with submitting a candidate for prime minister).
The protesters hung pictures of the candidates with a sign of rejection, in the sit-in arenas, especially on the front of the Turkish restaurant building "Jabal Uhud", and the protest marquee in Tahrir, in the center of the capital, Baghdad, demanding the introduction of a figure from outside the political parties and pledging to implement the demands of the protests, most notably fighting corruption and early elections .
The blocs complied with the popular rejection, for all the candidates whose names were put forward, the first of which was Muhammad Shi'a Al-Sudani, and the Minister of Higher Education in the caretaker government Qusay Al-Suhail, the last of whom was the governor of Basra Asaad Al-Eidani, and with Iraq entering a constitutional vacuum with the end of the deadline for finding an alternative to Abdul-Mahdi, and with the continuing dispute over " The largest bloc "in Parliament, President of the Republic Barham Salih presented on the twenty-sixth of December a letter to Parliament in which he said," He prefers to resign over appointing a candidate that the protesters refuse to form a government ", and he apologized for assigning the candidate of the" Bloc "Asaad Al-Eidani to head the next government, while could The demonstrators with the end of the year, earning the first two demands in the historic popular revolution for them since the US - led invasion of Iraq and the toppling of Saddam Hussein 's regime in 2003, namely: their success in the dismissal of the prime minister, Adel Abdul - Mahdi, the choice of a new election law.
Political reading
Issam al-Faili, a professor of political thought at al-Mustansiriya University in Baghdad, considered that merely waving the president of the republic to resign and leaving Baghdad to Sulaimaniyah, made all political blocs baffled, "and therefore there must be a candidate for prime minister from outside the political blocs."
Al-Faili added, in an interview with Sputnik, "The Shiite blocs may resort to putting forward a candidate who has some acceptability because the nature of the situation in Iraq today is very dangerous, and all political forces know that they are targeted and there is no time to procrastinate and impose wills," noting that "the compass is today in the hands of demonstrators and waving entry The Green Zone, I think, is a dangerous indicator for the Iraqi political scene, and there must be compliance. "
And on the possibility of an international intervention in Iraq, Al-Faili stressed that "the issue of international intervention is not excluded if the current situation continues", and stressed that "there are moves at the international level for the purpose of international intervention in front of assurances in the past days that some candidates were not finally accepted by the international community and sent Message they said that assigning one of them may expose Iraq’s capabilities, such as the central bank and others, to international custody.
He concluded his speech by saying that "the influential player, Iran, and Iran may try to persuade some Iraqi parties in this framework to come up with a somewhat independent personality, as happened in Lebanon." Ended 6/29 n
