[size=52]An American report: Fears of new clashes between the parties to the Iraqi crisis[/size]
[size=45]Translation: Hamed Ahmed[/size]
[size=45]An American report talks about the possibility of new clashes between the parties to the Iraqi political crisis, pointing out that Iran prefers to form a government run by a unified Shiite bloc.[/size]
[size=45]A report by the Washington Institute for the Middle East stated that "almost a year has passed since the Iraqi parliamentary elections in October 2021, and the government has not yet been formed."[/size]
[size=45]The report added, "The center of the conflict lies in chronic political rivalries and personal animosities for domination of government positions."[/size]
[size=45]He pointed out, "The political blockage continues, despite the ongoing national dialogue (which the Sadrists refuse to join)."[/size]
[size=45]The report stated, "Many fear the possibility of clashes unless the two parties to the conflict, represented by the Sadrist movement and the coordination framework, agree on concessions acceptable to both."[/size]
[size=45]And he indicated, "The coordinating framework is divided on itself over the process of forming the government and its dealings with the Sadrist movement, between moderate and hard-line parties."[/size]
[size=45]The report stressed, “Members of the framework coalition found that this situation constitutes a frustration for Iran and for Shiite actors who prefer to maintain the unity of the Shiite house.”[/size]
[size=45]He stressed, "Members of the framework considered the August 29 clashes in general as a loss for the Sadrists and a victory for them. They showed themselves, in contrast to the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, that they are wise people who act according to the law."[/size]
[size=45]The report pointed out that “the coordination framework is divided over the best way to deal with al-Sadr, some of those calling for a more moderate stance toward containing it by activating several political channels inside and outside Iraq, while the hardliners reject that.”[/size]
[size=45]One of the members of the coordination framework says, “We want to oppose him so that he understands the lesson,” while the report confirms, that “the moderate parties in the framework towards the crisis are the leader of the Badr Organization Hadi al-Amiri, the leader of the Wisdom Movement Ammar al-Hakim, and former Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, as well as other people, As for the hardliners, they are represented by former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and the leader of the Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq movement, Qais al-Khazali, and others.[/size]
[size=45]The report stated, "Members of the framework argued that the continuation of the internal Shiite conflict would be a cause of instability in Iraq and would not be in Iran's interest."[/size]
[size=45]These members are quoted as saying, “Iran prefers a government run by a large unified Shiite bloc, and that the Sadrists’ project of a political majority government is a threat to that, while another party official stated before the clashes in late August that Iran itself is divided over which one is best in dealing with Sadr.” This is reflected in the division of opinion within the framework between a hard-liner and a moderate.”[/size]
[size=45]An Iraqi official revealed, "several parties tried to mend relations between al-Maliki and al-Sadr, including representatives of the Lebanese Hezbollah, in the months leading up to this summer's crisis."[/size]
[size=45]The report indicated that “the coordination framework hastened after filling the seats of the resigned members of the movement by announcing Muhammad al-Shia al-Sudani as their candidate for the position of prime minister, and this raised the astonishment of the Sadrists, who consider al-Sudani as a representative of al-Maliki.”[/size]
[size=45]He explained, "Members of the coordination framework mentioned: There is a nomination committee within the framework and that Al-Sudani was unanimously chosen as the best candidate for them, and they also mentioned: No one has provided a valid reason so far that prevents him from occupying this position."[/size]
[size=45]A member of the framework says, “If someone has concerns, they must be presented publicly in Parliament, and so far no one has submitted a reliable reason preventing his candidacy.”[/size]
[size=45]Another member of the hardliners added, "Iraq does not depend on Al-Sadr, the formation of the government continues," but he returned to explain, "If there are serious official objections to Al-Sudani, Iraq is not dependent on Al-Sudani as well."[/size]
[size=45]The report finds, "The coordinating framework is proceeding with plans to form the government with their Sudanese candidate, even if some moderates objected that his candidacy would be a provocation against al-Sadr and that it required consideration of other candidates."[/size]
[size=45]Another official in the framework warned against "accelerating the formation of the government without holding more discussions with the Kurdish and Sunni side, noting that ignoring this not only leads to possible reactions, but will also lead to the formation of a weak government."[/size]
[size=45]The report indicates that "the officials of the coordination framework in general portrayed themselves as representing the logical and wise side, and that they act in accordance with Iraqi law and recent decisions of the Federal Supreme Court and are bound by the respect of the international community."[/size]
[size=45]Mahmoud al-Rubaie, a spokesman for Asaib Ahl al-Haq, stated that "the United Nations, according to what we have heard from other parties as well, even the American embassy, that they support the framework's position after what al-Sadr did."[/size]
[size=45]The report stated, "Many members of the framework agree that one of the biggest obstacles to achieving a political settlement is Al-Sadr's rigid position, according to their claim."[/size]
[size=45]These members said, "The framework may resort to making some concessions to bypass the political crisis, but they question Al-Sadr's approval if Al-Maliki continues to play a major role," and one of them confirms that "Al-Maliki's leaks changed everything for Al-Sadr."[/size]
[size=45]While one of the political officials in the framework, speaking about the obstruction of the government formation process, stated that "the situation remains as it is, and this may continue for weeks or months."[/size]
[size=45]The report expects, "Huge demonstrations to commemorate the anniversary of the October protests, planned to occur on October 1, by the October independents who describe themselves as movements for change."[/size]
[size=45]And the report went on, that "members of political parties in the coordinating framework said that they are also waiting, as is the case of others, for what these protests will lead to, especially if the Sadrists will join them and whether there will be more violence on the horizon."[/size]
