is not the first time that the President of the Kurdistan Region, Nechirvan Barzani, is in Baghdad, whom he knows well and knows the politicians in, but this time it comes at a time when a new government was formed, which emerged from the worst crisis of political stagnation in Iraq, after Parliament gave confidence For the government of Muhammad Shia al-Sudani, who officially took office on October 28, that is, more than a year after the elections, which resulted in political rivalry that the country had not witnessed since the 2005 constitution.[/size]
[size=45]Observers say that the doors of the political crisis that opened in Baghdad necessitated a visit like this to Nechirvan Barzani in particular, not only because he enjoys good relations with the political players in the federal capital only, but also because "Abu Idris", in addition to the leader of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Massoud Barzani, They played a prominent role in facilitating the breakthrough that came after months of playing with the fire on the brink.[/size]
[size=45]The visit to Baghdad, which witnessed extensive meetings, was apparently dominated by the password that was mentioned in Nechirvan Barzani’s meetings with Iraqi officials, from the prime minister and the president of the republic to the head of the judiciary, as well as the leaders of the main political and parliamentary blocs, which is: “Shared responsibility, supporting the Sudanese government and its program.” ".[/size]
[size=45]It seems clear from the announced content of the talks, turning the pages of the chronic disputes between Baghdad and the region, and looking towards the future by finding a solution to them, because Erbil, as Nechirvan Barzani said, views Baghdad as its strategic depth, and there is no escape from their coordination together and their partnership in order to overcome obstacles and difficulties.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Sudani formed his government commissioned by the Coordinating Framework Forces at the beginning, but the confidence that his government gained came with the votes of the “frameworkers” as well as the votes of the Kurds, including the representatives of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, in addition to the votes of the Sovereignty and Resolve coalitions.[/size]
[size=45]This in itself means Iraq's transition to a new phase of political action, in which Nechirvan Barzani realizes that the Sudanese, despite the parliamentary support he received, in the existing political, economic and security reality, needs all possible support, and that if the Kurds can play their role in this In context, the Baghdad mission to Barzani, which took a long and eventful day, is the clearest expression of this vision and options.[/size]
[size=45]Nechirvan Barzani landed in Baghdad, to the sound of cannons and missiles coming from the Iranian and Turkish sides, under the guise of confronting armed opposition to Ankara and Tehran, which requires moves by both the governments of Erbil and Baghdad, to deal with this new and sensitive situation due to its regional, Iraqi and Kurdish complexities.[/size]
[size=45]The visit also comes at a time when the possibility of a large-scale Turkish military intervention against the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) positions in the region and in northern Syria is being raised, in addition to the tense internal situation in Iran, of which the region's leaders are certainly anticipating its potential repercussions.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Sudani’s assumption of his governmental responsibilities constitutes a new opportunity for Erbil and Baghdad to redevelop communication between them regarding the many accumulated files and issues, from the Kurdistan Region’s share in the budget law and the oil agreement, in addition to military-security coordination, especially in the so-called “disputed” areas and the terrorist outposts that exploit it.[/size]
[size=45]The visit also comes at a time when oil sales, whether in the region or in Iraq, have achieved exceptional financial income compared to previous years, and it is certainly an opportunity that Nechirvan Barzani sees, in order to urge cooperation with officials in Baghdad, in order to transfer these resources to what serves the interests of Iraqis in general. And the region in particular, after about 3 years of popular protests against the deterioration of services and living conditions.[/size]
[size=45]The head of the region began his new Baghdadi mission with a meeting with Al-Sudani himself, where his office announced that the Iraqi prime minister expressed his appreciation for the importance of unity of positions at the national level, and the need for solidarity and coordination, to face the economic, subsistence and service challenges required by the task of securing a decent life for all citizens throughout Iraq, stressing The federal government's commitment to the Iraqi constitution to deal with outstanding issues, with the Kurdistan Regional Government, in a way that guarantees the rights of all components.[/size]
[size=45]In sum, Barzani met, in addition to Al-Sudani, the President of the Republic, Abdul Latif Rashid, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Faiq Zaidan, the leader of the State of Law Coalition, Nuri al-Maliki, the leader of the Al-Fatah Bloc, Hadi al-Amiri, the Secretary General of Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq Qais Khazali, the head of the Popular Mobilization Authority, Faleh al-Fayyad, and the head of The Victory Alliance is Haider al-Abadi, and with the Sovereignty Alliance, represented by Muhammad Tamim, Minister of Planning in the federal government.[/size]
