[size=52]An American newspaper advises Al-Sudani to stay away from Al-Maliki and avoid protests[/size]

[size=45]Translation: Hamed Ahmed[/size]
[size=45]An American journalist reported that Prime Minister Muhammad Shia al-Sudani faces many challenges, most notably moving away from the leader of the State of Law coalition, Nuri al-Maliki, and avoiding popular protests.[/size]
[size=45]A report by the American newspaper "The Hill" stated that "Iraq finally obtained a government headed by Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa al-Sudani, after a crisis that lasted for a whole year as a result of a disputed election."[/size]
[size=45]The report added, "While this ends a phase of political obstruction that the country has gone through, it is unclear whether the new Al-Sudani cabin will be able to achieve change or if it will keep the situation as it is."[/size]
[size=45]He pointed out that "Al-Sudani is supported by the Coordination Framework Alliance, which has 138 seats in parliament out of a total of 329."[/size]
[size=45]The report pointed out that "the Sadrist movement led by Muqtada al-Sadr, which won the largest number of seats in the elections, had no role in choosing the prime minister nor in choosing the president of the republic," stressing that "this is a precedent that Iraq has not witnessed since its democratic transformation, This is a weakness of the government.”[/size]
[size=45]He noted that "the Iraqi people, due to the long-standing political dispute as well as the inherent political instability that impeded progress in their country, are justifiably skeptical that this government will be able to find solutions to the many problems facing Iraq."[/size]
[size=45]And he talks about "doubts that the government will be able to achieve change because of Sudan's proximity to former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, whose era was marked by many problems the country faced."[/size]
[size=45]And the report added, "The Sadrists view Al-Sudani as Al-Maliki's man and expect the government to target their interests in the state."[/size]
[size=45]He called, «the new government to distance itself from al-Maliki and to convince the people that it is far from these quarrels».[/size]
[size=45]The report finds, "The Sudanese, as a first gesture of goodwill, must choose professional candidates to occupy senior positions in ministries and not from personalities loyal to parties."[/size]
[size=45]And he noted, "Iraq is facing huge economic, environmental and social crises, which al-Sadr may undoubtedly exploit in evaluating the government's performance."[/size]
[size=45]The report stated that "one of the main aspects of the Sudanese government's test will be whether it will be able to take advantage of high oil prices to address urgent problems such as unemployment among young people, which has reached 40%, power outages, and reforming the economy in general and radically."[/size]
[size=45]He noted that "the new government also requires it to avoid and prevent protests from occurring, which have been recurring since they were launched in October 2019 and are likely to happen again."[/size]
[size=45]The report stated, "These demonstrations, which forced the resignation of Adel Abdul-Mahdi's government in 2019 and paved the way for early elections, are a reflection of popular resentment and resentment over demands that have not been achieved for a long time."[/size]
[size=45]He added, "A coalition over the past three years has crystallized from protesters, activists and youth-led movements in order to push the government to address the failure in managing the country through changes in the political system followed."[/size]
[size=45]The report continued, "Resentment against corruption is still a major driver of the demand for reform of the quota system used in the distribution of ministerial positions between parties, which is a path to mismanagement of institutions according to nepotism."[/size]
[size=45]He continues, "The formation of the new government has adopted the same methods and tactics, and they are the same parties that have dominated the Iraqi political scene since 2005."[/size]
[size=45]The report added, “Citizens may ask: How can the corrupt situation change if the system that caused it has not changed? The latest corruption scandal involved the theft of $2.5 billion from the Tax Authority's funds in the Ministry of Finance, involving people belonging to political parties.[/size]
[size=45]He continues, "While this government has ended months of political paralysis and blockage, it is unclear how long the stability it brought will last."[/size]
[size=45]The report went on to state that “the Sudanese must be freed from the constitutional restrictions he faces and take on the difficult task of reformulating and reforming the ineffective political system and reforming the economic system of a country dependent on oil only, a rentier economy that depletes oil revenues through a flabby public sector and favoritism political parties without any A kind of accountability.[/size]
