    Former Maliki Advisor: He Wanted to Attack and Occupy Kurdistan Region


    In an exclusive interview with Adel Barwari, the former Kurdish affairs advisor to ex-Prime Minister of Iraq Nouri al-Maliki, he claims that one of the plans of Maliki was to trigger a war between Sunni Arabs and Kurdish people as well as attack the Kurdistan Region.

    After the liberation of Iraq in 2003, Barwari became an MP in Baghdad. In 2011-2012, he became an advisor to Maliki about the Kurdistan Region’s affairs with the support of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), In this exclusive interview with BasNews, he talks about the Maliki’s secrets and the current situation in Iraq.

    After huge internal and external pressure, Maliki is no longer Prime Minister. However in the new cabinet, he has been selected as vice-president of Iraq.

    “Maliki can’t play the same influential role now as he did when he was PM because now both former PM Ayad Allawi and former speaker of parliament Osama al-Nujeifi are with him as vice-presidents of Iraq and their power is almost the same. They didn’t use to get along with each other, rarely reaching agreement. Whatever Maliki decides, they can veto. Maliki is still in a position of power, but doesn’t have the same authority anymore,” said Barwari.

    Commenting on the current PM of Iraq, Haidar Abadi, he said, “Abadi can’t do what Maliki did during his eight years of being PM because now the US will scrutinize the government more closely. Kurdish participation in the new government of Iraq on came to pass after the Kurds asked the US and UN to guarantee that the actions of Maliki won’t be repeated.”

    “Now, with the US supervising the government, this is the best hope that democracy will settle in Iraq and power honestly shared. Now unlike before, the confirmation of any decisions made by PM requires majority approval in parliament,” added Barwari.

    About the three month time limit set by the Kurds for Abadi to implement Kurdish demands, Barwari said, “Abadi will not repeat the same mistakes as Maliki that caused Kurds, Sunni Arabs and neighboring countries to be angry with him. He can’t do that because it will end the government as according to the Iraqi constitution, the government can’t run without Kurdish participation.”

    He continued, “On the other hand, the High Shiite Cleric in Iraq, Ayatollah al-Sistani and the leader of the Supreme Islamic Council of Iraq Ammar al-Hakim have declared a Fatwa [Islamic decision] that Kurds mustn’t be killed by Shiites.”

    Barwari is concerned about the Kurdish participation in the government as they occupy only one important post, Finance Minister, but he believes that it is vital for Kurds to be united in Baghdad.

    “Now that the US and NATO [North Atlantic Treaty Organization] have intervened in Iraq, neither Shiite, Kurds or Sunnis can violate the constitution of Iraq. Shiites are ruling the government now and they have to promote justice in the country to get Sunni and Kurds to agree with them,” Barwari said.

    In regards to the implementation of Article 140 of the Iraqi constitution by Abadi, he said, “I believe Article 140 [which is about the disputed territories] will be implemented by Abadi now Maliki is no longer in power [as PM]. The biggest issue between Maliki and Kurdistan Region President Massoud Barzani was the to lack of implementation of the article.”

    Describing secret plans Maliki had against Kurds, Barwari said, “Maliki was taking some actions and decisions to attempt to launch a war between Sunni Arabs and Kurds. He wanted to occupy the Kurdistan Region, and he removed some Kurdish commanders from posts in the Iraqi army because he wanted to attack the region.”

    “He was trying to convince some Kurdish leaders to support him and work for him but he couldn’t. Another plan was to separate Kurdish parties and destroy the unity, especially to weaken the KDP [which is the biggest party in Kurdistan Region].” added Barwari.
