Politician   Last Update 07/03/2022 | 8:50 AM  The Information/Baghdad…   Legal expert Dr. Raqiah Al-Khazali confirmed that Iraq can sue Turkey for its aggression on its lands and put it under Chapter VII.

Khazali told Al-Maalouma, "The Charter of the United Nations prohibits any country within its organization from attacking or penetrating its territory without a legitimate reason issued by an international court or the United Nations, and therefore what Turkey is doing has no legal justification, and therefore It is an attack on a neighboring country.”

Minister Al-Sadr: There Is A Covenant Between Al-Sadr And God.. Iraq Will Not Return To Consensus, Whatever The Results

byMoahmad EditorIraq news    Salih Muhammad al-Iraqi, Minister of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, confirmed that the latter "will not return Iraq to consensus, whatever the results."

Al-Iraqi stated: To complement the reasons that called for the Sadrist movement to withdraw from the political process, “there is a covenant between our leader and God, and that the covenant was responsible - not to put his hands in the hands of any corrupt and Iraq will not return to consensus, whatever the results.”

Al-Sadr’s minister described his leader’s withdrawal as “the withdrawal of the victorious,” and God hears and sees while he is in the highest view. Oh God, accept this sacrifice from us,” adding that “withdrawal is a moral aspect, as he has abandoned the world for the sake of obedience to God and love of the homeland.”

He pointed out that "may the withdrawal be a lesson for others not to cling to money," considering that the step of withdrawal "is to save the country, and it was necessary before God and the people .. Is anyone preaching?"

He considered that the withdrawal “is a denunciation and retirement of corruption and the people of corruption,” pointing out that “the withdrawal will reveal the truth of those claiming to defend the sect, so you see what they are doing in the absence of a popular class that is the most courageous in resisting the occupation and the war of terrorism and the closest to the hearts of the people and the fair.”

"We will not share them, no matter what," he stressed.

The leader of the Sadrist movement revealed other reasons behind his withdrawal from the political process.

Salih Muhammad al-Iraqi Wizar, the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, said in a statement issued by the Rudaw Media Network, a copy of which was received on Friday (1 July 2022): "What are the reasons that prompted al-Sadr, the leader, to withdraw from the political process, and what are the results against the opponents?"

Al-Iraqi mentioned some of them, considering that “most of the Shiite political blocs belonged to (Lal al-Sadr), if not all of them, so we offered them a candidate for prime minister, the son of their reference and their martyr, and they rejected him.”

Al-Sadr’s minister accused some politicians of “betraying Al-Sadr, and subserving others,” adding that “some people imagine that the decision to withdraw is to hand Iraq over to the corrupt and consensual, no.

He justified the Sadrist bloc's return to the elections after its withdrawal, stating that "it was for two important things: the first: normalization, and this has been criminalized, praise be to God.. the second: the criminalization of obscenity: (homosexuals). Let's see what they do?!" Will they pass a new and detailed law, especially with the escalation of Western colonial pressures against its opponents?

One of the reasons mentioned by Al-Iraqi was “the embarrassment of the opponents of those who protested against the elections because they are fraudulent, so will they continue to form a government out of fraudulent elections? What is its legitimacy? Will they agree with the normalizers and the Emiratis? Will the missiles hit Anbar and Erbil?    https://altahreernews.com/36955/

Political Analyst: Maliki's Nomination For Prime Minister Is Just A Political Maneuver

Posted On2022-07-04 By Sotaliraq   NOURI AL-MALIKI   Today, Sunday, political analyst Ali Al-Baydar confirmed that the nomination of the leader of the State of Law coalition, Nuri al-Maliki, himself for the position of prime minister is just a political maneuver.

So far,  the forces of the "coordinating framework" have not agreed on naming their candidate for prime minister  amid disagreements over the proposed names, as the majority wants to choose a "non-controversial" figure compatible with the orientations of the Shiite religious authority in Najaf.

These forces are also keen that this figure does not provoke sensitivity or objection to the head of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, in reference to the possible nomination of the head of the State of Law coalition, Nuri al-Maliki, a figure that al-Sadr cannot accept as prime minister, and his followers may take to the street to topple any government headed by him.

Al-Baydar explained, "Al-Maliki is well aware that his candidacy will be met with great rejection or stipulation by his competitors and allies, and he will not be able to pass it easily."

And Al-Baydar added, "Al-Maliki will then withdraw from the candidacy and put the personality he is thinking of now according to his conditions that he is trying to convince others as a price to withdraw his candidacy."

This was  the independent representative, Adnan Al-Jabri , who made it clear that the independent representatives will not vote to take over the old faces, which did not provide anything and have been tried previously, for positions again.

Al-Jabri said that "independent deputies have nominated themselves and entered the political process with the aim of change and reform, and this change and reform will only be achieved by handing over positions to people of competence and integrity."

Noting that "some political blocs are trying to bring some old faces back to the scene, and they are trying to entice independent representatives to support them in these endeavors, but they have not succeeded."

The resignation of the Sadrist bloc’s deputies caused an unexpected shock in the equation of the balances of political forces and alliances in Iraq, and confused the calculations of many forces, most notably the “coordinating framework” that includes Shiite forces close to Iran, led by the Popular Mobilization militia factions.

For about eight months, Iraq has been experiencing a political crisis due to sharp differences over the formation of the government between the "coordinating framework" and the Sadrist bloc, which won first place with 73 deputies out of 329, and was unable to form the government.   LINK
