Shafaq News/ Arafat Karam, the official in charge of the Iraq file at Barzani’s headquarters, announced, on Wednesday evening, a condition to proceed with a political dialogue, in light of an escalating crisis in the Iraqi scene.

Karam said in his tweet, “We – in the Kurdistan Democratic Party – support dialogue, provided that all the main parties are present.”

Earlier today, an informed source from within the coordination framework revealed that the framework sought to form a quinquennial committee that does not include Nuri al-Maliki and Qais al-Khazali, to address the dialogue with prominent cleric Muqtada al-Sadr.

The source told Shafaq News Agency, “The source continued, “The framework is trying to include the committee, the leader of the Al-Fateh Alliance Hadi Al-Amiri, Foreign Minister Fouad Hussein representing the Democratic Party, and the leader of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, Bafel Talabani, in addition to leaders who are accepted by Al-Sadr.”

Muqtada al-Sadr’s supporters object to the candidate for the coordination framework for the prime minister, Muhammad Shiaa al-Sudani, and the “Sadrists” stormed the House of Representatives and announced an open sit-in about a month ago, to pressure towards dissolving parliament and holding early elections.

On the other hand, the coordination framework, which includes a number of Shiite forces and parties, and is considered the main opponent of al-Sadr, warns against an attempt to “turn on the people, the state and its institutions.”

The tension stems from when al-Sadr’s bloc won 73 seats in the elections, making it the largest bloc in the 329-seat parliament, but talks aimed at forming a new government stalled for months, which prompted the resignation of al-Sadr’s bloc’s deputies, followed by the swearing in of 64 new deputies. In June, this made the Coordination Framework, the largest in parliament.

On the tenth of August, al-Sadr gave the Supreme Judicial Council one week to dissolve parliament to end the political impasse, but the Council stated that the matter was not within its powers, which prompted hundreds of “Sadrists” to sit outside the headquarters of the Judicial Council before instructing their leader to withdraw.

Faily said; For the program “Al-Mastra” broadcast by Al-Furat satellite channel tonight: “In the next few days, an important meeting will be held for the leaders of the blocs in Erbil to bring the views closer, and efforts are intensifying towards the presence of the Sadrist movement with the joint efforts of Massoud Barzani, Hadi Al-Amiri and other forces.”
He added, “The crisis has reached a dangerous stage, and everyone must feel the gravity of the situation and make efforts to stop this deterioration, regardless of the parties to the conflict, because the problem has begun to expand and other parties have begun to form, and the problems must be reduced, not expanded, and the judiciary has accepted it.”
Al-Faili stressed, “The problem is between two parties to the political process, and now everyone must feel the danger of things slipping into something worse, and the leaders of the Kurdistan region have spared no effort to bring their views closer.”
He continued, “Just as the current problem is not devoid of personal side, and the need is confirmed today to break the psychological barrier, as for Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi’s initiative, it was born dead because the main party did not attend and did not carry real outcomes, but general ideas by sitting at a dialogue table.”
And Al-Faili said, “Any initiative must touch the essence of the problems and outstanding issues and include concessions and the requirements of the two parties, and the democrat sees the public interests and the future of the political process regardless of alliances. There are identical and different points of view, and our alliance with the current was not at the expense of the framework.”
He pointed out, “The influence of the United Nations is limited and it seeks to bring views closer, and problems must be resolved at a dialogue table between the political parties, and everyone agrees to dissolve parliament and hold elections; With the results, we supported the framework’s initiative to form a government for a year that would hold early elections.”
Al-Faili stressed, “The election law must be studied extensively and reflect the reality on the results as well as in the issue of the Commission and any effort that contributes to getting out of this predicament, we are with him, and the current problem is not in these matters, but rather purely political between two parties.”
Regarding holding a parliament session outside its building, Al-Faili said, “We are not against convening the parliament session, but convening it in another place will complicate the political scene more, but if its convening contributes to the solution, we will be with it, and the Democrat is currently seeking to bridge the views between the parties through delegations to and from Baghdad.”
