chattels    Monday, February 17, 2020  How Much Power Will Incoming Premier Allawi Have? http://musingsoniraq.blogspot.com/2020/02/how-much-power-will-incoming-premier.html

chattels   Allawi will be in a very weak position as Iraq’s new leader. Just like Abdul Mahdi he has no political party behind him. With no base of his own Abdul Mahdi had no way to push back against the ruling parties, and Allawi will be in the same situation. Neither was elected by the people either. Already the protests have come out against Allawi’s nomination even though he has tried to reach out to them.

chattels   Deputy for wisdom reveals the date for holding the voting session for the Allawi government

[Baghdad-Ain] The MP from the Parliamentary Bloc of Wisdom, Abbas Sayyid Sarrout, suggested setting an extraordinary session for the House of Representatives next Sunday to pass the cabinet formation of Prime Minister-designate Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi.

"The parliament is currently on a legislative holiday; but according to information, there will be a call to hold a session next Sunday to vote on the ministerial formation of Allawi," he said in a press statement.

"The negotiations continue to persuade the Kurdish and Sunni parties to form the Allawi government," he said, http://www.alliraqnews.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=86878

chattels   Tuesday, the head of the Bairaq Al-Khair bloc, MP Mohammed Al-Khaldi, announced that Prime Minister-designate Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi met 100 personalities of various components, indicating that he had selected 22 of his cabinet ministers.

Al-Khalidi told Al-Akhbaria that Allawi was able to complete the formation of his interim government and is ready to vote now if a parliamentary session is held. https://www.theiqdteam.com/blog/pm-deputy-muhammad-allawi-met-with-100-personalities-of-various-components-and-chose-22-ministers-for-his-government

chattels   Does Iraq PM Allawi’s ‘non-sectarian’ government mean ‘Shiites only’? https://www.rudaw.net/english/opinion/18022020

chattels   Middle East Eye and many protesters point out that Allawi is the cousin of another former prime minister, Ayad Allawi, two of his daughters are married to relatives of influential Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, and his family is related by marriage to Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani. Such a person looks like the epitome of the establishment in post-2003, Shiite-dominated Iraq.

chattels   It unfortunately seems more likely that Iraq’s Shiite establishment parties, as well as Iran, remain more interested in using the protests as an excuse to solidify their hold on power at the expense of non-Shiite parties and individuals.

chattels   Prime Minister-designate Allawi is apparently on the verge of announcing his new cabinet. In the process of forming his government, Allawi apparently failed to consult with any Kurdish or Sunni parties. Perhaps he feels that doing so would make his new administration “sectarian”.

Seeing as he was picked for the post of prime minister by a coterie of establishment Shiite parties, most of whom remain very much under the influence of Iran, this seems to give a new Iraqi meaning to “sectarian” in practice: non-Shiite.

chattels   Given the history of Iraq and the Middle East, both Halbousi and Barzani appear completely justified in signaling their concerns regarding the method and direction of changes currently occurring in Baghdad. 

Ignoring the Baghdad protesters’ actual demands, but using the unrest to further centralize power and cement Shiite dictatorial control over the country would constitute a classic and all too often successful stratagem.

chattels   ' .... two of his daughters are married to relatives of influential Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, ....."

chattels   I had better hopes for Allawi at one time. We shall see.

chattels   Allawi will send the names of the nominated ministers tomorrow ( today ). The political forces will play their role once the government’s names are received by its members from the parliament for study, indicating that the members of the House of Representatives asked to be given a period of 72 hours to search and verify the names, which means that the voting session will be held early next week at the very least. http://iraqnewsapp.com/1/Article/2244/191660470#.Xk0wyzJKiUk
