Baghdad today – follow-up

The newspaper “Al Arab” London, in a report published on Tuesday night, Wednesday, that Sunni political forces announced their support for the nomination of the current Prime Minister, Haider Abadi, for a second term in exchange for the implementation of some promises.

“The main Sunni political figures in Iraq are trying to provide the necessary support to Prime Minister Haider al-Abbadi to remain in office for a second term in the latest images of the transformations of the political world in Mesopotamia,” the newspaper said in its report.

“Since the announcement of the results of the general elections that took place last May, the Sunni political forces have held consultations with various parties, but they have not reached clear understandings, except for the movement of the solution led by businessman Jamal Karbouli, Abadi for a second term. ”

Saleh al-Mutlaq, the leader of the Dialogue Front, said in a statement that he invited the Speaker of the Parliament, Salim al-Jubouri, and the leader of the National List, Iyad Allawi, and representatives of different Sunni political forces, including the coalition led by businessman Khamis Khanjar.

The newspaper quoted a politician who attended the invitation, saying that “I have been informed Abadi by the Sunni leaders supporting him for a second term.”

The newspaper pointed out that “Sunni political forces that participated in the elections are divided into four main directions, with small local forces; the first led by Allawi, the second led by the dagger, the third led by Karbali, and the fourth led by former Defense Minister Khaled al-Obeidi.”

“At present, it can be said that Abbadi has the support of three quarters of the Sunni politicians in Iraq, putting him in a good negotiating position with the Shiite and Kurdish parties.”

The newspaper quoted sources as saying that “Abadi promised the Sunni leaders in the house of Mutlaq to prevent the Iranian-backed factions from tampering with the security file, and confirmed his readiness in the event of a new government to launch a large-scale reconstruction campaign for Sunni areas destroyed during the era of control of an organization calling on large parts of the country “He said.

The sources added that “the Sunni leaders, chose to support Abadi, after they confirmed the support of the international community for his survival.”

“Because of the multiplicity of Sunni lists participating in the elections, the seats were divided on a number of competing trends within the same sectarian space, which, according to observers, turned everyone into junior players.”

“These young players can not weigh any list they have, but they can provide some political momentum.” The Sunni momentum seems to have been effective for my slaves, according to an Iraqi politician, “as the other parties heard and cared about.”

The politician, who was quoted by the “Arabs”, that “Moqtada al-Sadr sent signals of his readiness to support Abbadi in a second term, in the event he got sufficient Sunni support.”

He added that “resolving the matter of the candidate for the post of prime minister, will mean overcoming a major obstacle in the way of the formation of a quick new Iraqi government,” revealing that “the leader of the Kurdistan Democratic Party Massoud Barzani, did not mind opening the door for dialogue with Abbadi in the event of support of the Sunnis and Sadr.

And goes the Iraqi politician, that “to proceed with the construction of this political front, would attract the leader of the Badr Organization Hadi al-Ameri of the Alliance of conquest, to join the largest parliamentary bloc.”

The sources specify the list of political forces excluded so far from mobility and negotiations to form the largest bloc. “The coalition of state law led by Nuri al-Maliki, at the forefront of this list, followed by the movement of Asaib Ahl al-Haq led by Qais al-Khazali, which expanded its gains from one parliamentary seat in the 2014 parliament to 15 seats in the 2018 parliament, Led by Karbouli. ”

The Iraqi political observer quoted by the newspaper in its report, that “the Sunni politicians who realized that their presence in the Iraqi political equation has been floating after losing their popular base will be reluctant to join the alliance of Sadr al-Abbadi only if offered secondary or supplementary positions, the purpose Including showing goodwill and appeasing Arab countries that still see sectarian representation as a kind of balance that distances Iraq from the Iranian axis. ”

The observer believes that “the logic of Sunni politicians can be considered backward compared to what the Iraqis expect from political change, ending the stage of sectarian strife to begin the stage of reconstruction and state building, fighting corruption and liberating public freedoms and restoring Iraq’s relations with its Arab surroundings.”
