Blackshart's warnings were accompanied by a sudden warning from the British Foreign Office to its nationals against traveling to the Iraqi provinces (AFP)[/size]

[rtl]In every briefing she gives to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] , the representative of the Secretary-General of [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] in [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] , Jenin Plasshart, puts her hand on the state of the country and sends alerts to the world about what it has reached.[/rtl]

[rtl]And every time Plasschaert seems to be feeling his condition, he has not yet recovered, and I have found that over the last twelve months discord and the game of political influence have taken precedence over a sense of common duty.[/rtl]

[rtl]She said that all actors along the political spectrum left the country in a long-term stalemate, and Iraqis were held hostage to an unpredictable and intolerable situation that turned into armed clashes.[/rtl]

[rtl]Blackshart sounded the alarm as she watched the clashes close to her in the Green Zone, where state institutions and presidencies were stormed, and the sounds of bullets and snipers became near her head, to write, warning, "There is no justification for violence," pointing out that "there are still very realistic risks of further strife. And bloodshed."[/rtl]

[rtl]Dozens of people were killed as a result of the confrontations of the demonstrations and the incursions into the International Green Zone, after the failure of the dialogue between the conflicting parties over money, power and positions, and the political process failed to bring the views closer to turn into a disaster in the lives of Iraqis who stayed home and turned into a silent, even shocking majority.[/rtl]

[rtl]solutions and settlements[/rtl]

[rtl]In her briefing, Plasschaert sees that "for dialogue to bear fruit, it is very important for all parties to participate in it. There are solutions, but only if there is a willingness to reach settlements. In the end, it all comes down to the political administration, but the disappointment of the people has reached the sky, Many Iraqis have lost faith in the ability of the political class to act for the benefit of the country and its people, and continued failure to address this loss of confidence will only exacerbate Iraq's problems.[/rtl]

[rtl]The UN representative attributes the essence of the Iraqi crisis to "the political system and the system of governance ignoring the needs of the people at a time when rampant corruption represents a major root cause of dysfunction in the country. No leader can claim that he is protected from it, and keeping the system as it is will rebound with negative results."[/rtl]

[rtl]The political system is not working[/rtl]

[rtl]The writer Abbas al-Kinani described Plasschaert's briefing, saying, "Despite the repeated calls for dialogue between the Iraqi political forces, which were made by the UN representative and to hold all forces responsible for the current situation, but they directed stabs to the political process." As it is, the future is worse, and the system needs structural change.” He added that this is an explicit call for the international community to adopt the idea of changing the political system in Iraq or delegitimizing it.[/rtl]

[rtl]Al-Kinani pointed out that Plasschaert's saying "the political class is unable to resolve the crisis" is pushing for international intervention in Iraq, especially when it announced its expectation of the worst.[/rtl]

[rtl]Plasschaert's accusation of party leaders of corruption is explicit, and that their parties are just machines for corruption that exploit state institutions and resources for their own interests. collecting money.[/rtl]

[rtl]failed state[/rtl]

[rtl]The candidate for prime minister, former Minister Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi, had confirmed that "Iraq is a failed state by all standards. Corruption is at the top of the list at unparalleled record levels all over the world. Indeed, it is the first country in the level of corruption."[/rtl]

[rtl]Allawi said that "the services are the worst among the countries of the region, not electricity, knowing that he spent more than eighty billion dollars on electricity, while a quarter of this amount provides the best electrical network that is sufficient for Iraq for the next tens of years."[/rtl]

[rtl]He pointed out that "drinking water is at the highest levels of pollution, and there is no country in the world in which tens of thousands of citizens were exposed to poisoning within a few days due to contaminated drinking water."[/rtl]

[rtl]He also pointed out that "the infrastructure is the worst among the countries in the region, and hundreds of people are killed every year because of bad streets," in addition to "the worst sewage network, and even hospital waste is dumped untreated into rivers," as well as "the deterioration of the health and educational system and an increase in Unemployment, lack of human rights, lawlessness and the spread of drugs.”[/rtl]

[rtl]British warning[/rtl]

[rtl]Blackshart's warnings were accompanied by a sudden warning from the British Foreign Office to its nationals from traveling to Iraqi provinces, except for Kurdistan, only when necessary.[/rtl]

[rtl]The warning said Iraq remained vulnerable to regional tensions with a militia group it described as "anti-Western and a threat to the UK and other interests, including attacks on Global Coalition military bases, diplomatic buildings and foreign nationals".[/rtl]

[rtl]The warning pointed to "the escalation of tensions due to the long negotiations on the formation of the government after the elections that took place in October (October) 2021."[/rtl]

[rtl]very volatile[/rtl]

[rtl]While the UN delegate described the situation as "extremely volatile", she stressed, "We do not have a magic wand, in the end it all comes down to political will."[/rtl]

[rtl]In the end, Iraq today is located in an unknown world that Iraqis fear because of the possibility of a likely clash between the Shiite parties, whose situation deteriorated after the resignation of the 73 deputies of al-Sadr from Parliament, and the disruption of any attempt to elect the President of the Republic, the Kurdish candidate, or the prime minister, the candidate for the Shiite coordination framework, which made Blackshart This time the alarm bells sounded loud.[/rtl]

[rtl]Plasschaert's statements are also accompanied by a storm of reproach from the sides of the Shiite framework, who see in their briefing a blatant interference that opens the door to external interference, which they reject and explain that what is happening is an Iraqi affair that can be overcome through dialogue.[/rtl]
