[size=52]Ministerial reshuffle.. Will the Sudanese enter the hornet's nest, and what is the relationship of the embassy?[/size]

[size=45]Baghdad / Tamim Al-Hassan[/size]
[size=45]After the upcoming Eid holiday, Prime Minister Muhammad al-Sudani begins to conduct the first government reshuffle, while this procedure may open the door to an “unexpected scenario.”[/size]
[size=45]There are many conflicting reports about the number of ministers included in the supposed change, between 3 to 10 ministers, and the reasons for the replacement appear to be different.[/size]
[size=45]Most of the information talks about service ministers who are included in the amendment, in addition to the possibility of overthrowing one of the security ministers and another who runs a sovereign portfolio.[/size]
[size=45]Two separate political sources spoke in an interview with (Al-Mada) about complex internal calculations in the issue of the government reshuffle, and about Al-Sudani’s entry into the “hornet’s nest.”[/size]
[size=45]One of the exporters also touches on the issue of replacing governors, which may be postponed to another time.[/size]
[size=45]Prime Minister Muhammad al-Sudani had revealed, in an interview with a number of television channels, a cabinet reshuffle after the expiration of the 6-month deadline.[/size]
[size=45]In the meeting, which is supposed to be shown on Tuesday (yesterday), he stressed that "there are no red lines in front of any corruption case."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Sudani had announced last year that he had given his ministers 6 months - the bulk of the deadline has now passed - to assess their performance, and 3 months for the governors (which ended more than a month ago).[/size]
[size=45]A source close to the coordination framework says: “If al-Sudani is stubborn in changing the ministers and does not agree with the parties, then he will be subject to change.”[/size]
[size=45]What the source proposes may be a far-fetched hypothesis so far, but he points out that “parties within the Shiite alliance believe that the Sudanese is part of the quota equation, and change must include him if he decides to do so.”[/size]
[size=45]The source, a leader in one of the Shiite parties, talks about leaks about the dismissal of 3, 8, and sometimes 10 ministers, including ministers belonging to the State of Law coalition, such as Oil Minister Hayan Abdul Ghani.[/size]
[size=45]And Abdul-Ghani had threatened earlier, according to some information, to resign because of what was said at the time that the minister was disturbed by Asaib Ahl al-Haq's interference in the work of the ministry.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Maliki's bloc believes that Al-Sudani is close to Al-Asa'ib, led by Qais Al-Khazali, and implements what they want.[/size]
[size=45]The prime minister's dismissal of the oil minister, according to what is being leaked, has renewed disagreements with al-Maliki once again.[/size]
[size=45]On the other hand, a minister from the Khazali bloc is also threatened with replacement, and he is the Minister of Education and a leader in Asa’ib, Naim al-Aboudi.[/size]
[size=45]According to the other source, a former deputy, “Al-Aboudi is circulating accusations regarding his degree from Lebanon, which is not recognized by the Iraqi Ministry of Education, which is run by the former.”[/size]
[size=45]There is also information indicating that Al-Sudani may want to get rid of some ministers who are rejected by the United States. According to what has been leaked, the two ministers most rejected by America are Al-Aboudi and the Minister of Labor, Ahmed Al-Asadi.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Asadi is the leader of the Jund al-Imam faction, while Asaib Ahl al-Haq was placed on US sanctions lists years ago.[/size]
[size=45]And news had circulated earlier, that part of the restrictions imposed on Iraq regarding the movement of the dollar related to sanctions on Iraqi figures participating in the government.[/size]
[size=45]According to the US Treasury laws that imposed these sanctions, it cannot deal with parties or economic institutions affiliated with the sanctioned personalities.[/size]
[size=45]Thus, the prime minister's visit to Washington also faltered, after the chances of him going to the United States were very high several months ago.[/size]
[size=45]And the government tried earlier, according to a statement by one of Al-Sudani’s advisors, to deny that Washington placed restrictions on it, but he said that “the relationship with America is governed by interests.”[/size]
[size=45]Parties in the coordination framework suspect that US Ambassador Elena Romanowski is behind the issue of replacing ministers close to the crowd.[/size]
[size=45]A few days ago, Al-Maliki criticized the ambassador's movements, whose meetings have been recorded since the formation of the government 5 months ago, about 50 visits by ministers and officials, more than 10 of which were with Al-Sudani.[/size]
[size=45]The last source believes that the ministers from the Shiite coalition are included in the change, in addition to oil, education, labor, agriculture and transportation, and the last two are from the share of the Badr Organization.[/size]
[size=45]About two months ago, parties in the coordination framework seemed disturbed by what they described as the “media distortion” that took place in one of the cabinet sessions.[/size]
[size=45]In that session, Al-Sudani criticized the performance of some ministers, while hinting that some of them were “threatened” by their parties.[/size]
[size=45]This was the first time that the prime minister, since assuming power last October, clashed with the Shiite coalition and the rest of the currents that participated in the government.[/size]
[size=45]He said in a speech during the cabinet session held in late February that "the minister ends his relationship with the political forces after his nomination and gaining the confidence of Parliament."[/size]
[size=45]And the prime minister stated in a clip broadcast on state television that “the minister who feels pressure or threat, I am present.” A few hours after al-Sudani’s speech, a number of ministers appeared during a meeting of the State Administration Coalition.[/size]
[size=45]In the last session, Al-Sudani added, "We did not see any preliminary indications of the performance of ministers in combating corruption, and ministers, officials and general managers must be present in the field to solve problems."[/size]
[size=45]On the Sunni side, there have been no indications so far of changes that might affect the ministers of the Taqaddam Party, which is led by Speaker of Parliament Muhammad al-Halbousi, despite the leaked differences between the latter and al-Sudani.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Halbousi and his partner Khamis al-Khanjar in the Sovereignty Alliance own 4 ministries: planning, industry, culture, and trade.[/size]
[size=45]In contrast, Azm's alliance, which is believed to be closer to the Shiite alliance than al-Halbousi, seems that one of its ministers is threatened with change, and he is Defense Minister Thabet al-Abbasi.[/size]
[size=45]A document had been leaked earlier (al-Mada was not able to verify its authenticity at the time) stating that al-Abbasi escaped from the former army more than once, and was dismissed from service with the rank of captain.[/size]
[size=45]The Minister of Defense is the leader of the Hasm bloc, which ran in the elections in Nineveh within the Azm coalition, and has 3 seats in Parliament.[/size]
[size=45]According to the probabilities, the process of replacing ministers may also include the Minister of Immigration for the Christian Babylon movement, Evan Faik, and the Minister of Water Resources, Aoun Diab.[/size]
[size=45]As for the governors, the source says that “there is a possibility that their change will be postponed until after the local elections,” which are supposed to be held next November.[/size]
[size=45]The latter may spark disputes within the coordination framework, some of whose parties are waiting to take control of some provinces to prepare for the elections.[/size]
[size=45]Basem Al-Gharabi, an independent MP, says, "The cabinet reshuffle depends on the strength of the prime minister and the agreement with the parties."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Gharabi believes in an interview with (Al-Mada) that “Al-Sudani will ask the parties themselves to present more than one alternative candidate, and if he is not convinced with anyone, he will choose him.”[/size]
[size=45]And it was leaked during the formation of the government last year, that the Sudanese chose the Minister of Electricity, Health, and Finance himself.[/size]
[size=45]And the independent deputy indicates that “the prime minister is not free, and he must agree with the political forces to change the government, because he will need a vote in Parliament to dismiss and appoint new ministers, otherwise he will appoint ministers by proxy.”[/size]
[size=45]Al-Gharabi predicted that "the process of replacing ministers will be in isolation from the leading ministers in the parties, as those whose positions cannot be compromised."[/size]
