[size=52]Al-Sudani ignores the framework of the ministerial change and threatens to expose the objectors to the people[/size]

[size=45]Baghdad / Tamim Al-Hassan[/size]
[size=45]It seems that the differences over the upcoming cabinet reshuffle have reached their peak, especially after the statements of Prime Minister Muhammad al-Sudani that he will expose the objectors to the people.[/size]
[size=45]According to information, most of the disagreements about the government reshuffle are within the coordination framework, due to the fact that Al-Sudani did not refer to the Shiite coalition in his decision.[/size]
[size=45]The “framework” is keen not to leak disagreements and promotes the narration that it authorized the prime minister to make amends for fear of being held responsible for the government’s failure.[/size]
[size=45]Likewise, al-Sudani seems insistent on changing the cabinet in order to attribute the failure of any ministry during the past months to the choice of parties, not his own.[/size]
[size=45]A leader in one of the parties affiliated with the coordination framework says in an interview with (Al-Mada): “Whether there are disagreements or not about the ministerial reshuffle, the coordination framework does not want to bear the responsibility alone.”[/size]
[size=45]The leader, who asked not to be named, added that the Shiite coalition: “will agree to the government amendment so that Al-Sudani will be held responsible for the performance of the ministers.”[/size]
[size=45]The information had indicated that Al-Sudani had at least 5 names of alternate ministers: agriculture, trade, water resources, education, and defense.[/size]
[size=45]It is likely that the amendment list will reach 10 ministers, including ministers affiliated with the State of Law led by Nuri al-Maliki, such as Oil Minister Hayan Abdul Ghani.[/size]
[size=45]Contrary to Al-Attar’s account, well-informed political sources confirmed to (Al-Mada) that “widespread differences within the Shiite group are against the ministerial change, especially from Al-Maliki.”[/size]
[size=45]Al-Maliki, and perhaps other parties within the Shiite alliance, believes that “the Sudanese does not have the right to replace the ministers,” especially since the latter, at the time of forming the government, had a single seat in parliament, before the number reached 3 seats after the resignation of the Sadrist deputies last summer.[/size]
[size=45]A week ago, al-Maliki denied, in an interview with an Iraqi satellite channel, that he knew of a cabinet change after the last Eid holiday.[/size]
[size=45]The leader of the State of Law told the presenter of the program: “I heard from you about a ministerial change, and I did not hear from the prime minister or from the coordination framework.”[/size]
[size=45]In response, Al-Sudani said in his last television interview a few days ago that “the cabinet reshuffle is a constitutional right for the prime minister and not according to the mood of this or that leader or political leader.”[/size]
[size=45]And he added in an interview with a local station: “The one who remains in the government is the minister who can put the grapes in the basket,” referring to the implementation of clear achievements.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Sudani did not mention that he had discussed the supposed amendment with the political forces, but he said: “The ministerial change was proven in the political agreement so that no one would accuse us after that of targeting him politically.”[/size]
[size=45]Al-Sudani confirmed in the interview that he has the names of the ministers who will be replaced “at the appropriate time,” without mentioning the names of the ministers targeted by the change.[/size]
[size=45]He stressed, "I insist on the cabinet reshuffle.. I will go to Parliament to request the minister's dismissal, and if Parliament objects, he will face the people."[/size]
[size=45]Representatives from the State of Law coalition confirmed in statements to (Al-Mada) that the parties would not be satisfied with exceeding their shares in the ministerial reshuffle.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Maliki's coalition demands that Al-Sudani, at the request of the political forces, present candidates for the excluded ministers, provided that the former reserves the right to refuse.[/size]
[size=45]Political parties have previously described the prime minister's entry into the government reshuffle issue as entering a "hornet's nest."[/size]
[size=45]And those parties expected that “Al-Sudani’s stubbornness” in replacing the ministers might turn into a threat to overthrow him personally as part of the quota equation.[/size]
[size=45]Regarding the reasons for the prime minister’s insistence on carrying out the cabinet reshuffle, Ihsan al-Shammari, head of the Center for Political Thinking, says, “The Sudanese wants to prove that his political decision is independent, and that he works within the logic of the state to achieve his program.”[/size]
[size=45]Al-Shammari added in an interview with (Al-Mada): “The prime minister also wants to distance himself from the failure of some ministries, especially since the government program during 6 months did not achieve what was required of it, and the achievements were supposed to appear in the first 100 days.”[/size]
[size=45]Therefore, the political researcher believes that the prime minister wants to send a message to the political forces through the government reshuffle, that they (the parties) are responsible for choosing failed ministers if they insist on remaining in the government.[/size]
[size=45]The prime minister also wants, according to al-Shammari, to start his own political project, "therefore he is pushing hard to form a government cabinet that is consistent with his orientations and not with the convictions and orientations of the parties."[/size]
[size=45]And Al-Shammari continues: “Also, the government amendment is a pressure card from Al-Sudani against his opponents. And if the differences did not appear, but they exist, especially within the coordination framework, and they are the most opposed to the ministerial reshuffle.[/size]
[size=45]The political researcher explains Al-Sudani's insistence on the cabinet reshuffle, despite warnings that this file will open fronts against him, by saying that the latter: “he senses the presence of opposition against him and an attempt to thwart his government, and what he is doing is part of the reaction.”[/size]
[size=45]Al-Sudani had refused, in the last television interview, to describe his government as a “government of last chance,” and said that it was “a government of precious opportunity for the prime minister and the founding fathers of this system.”[/size]
