Chattels   Iraq’s various political blocs have been locked in talks since Abdul-Mahdi’s resignation to nominate a suitable candidate to replace him – no easy feat for such a deeply entrenched elite in such a deeply divided society.

Several names have been put forward for the job, but all of them have been rejected by the protesters in Iraq and its safe haven in Baghdad, Tahrir Square.

The most recent candidates put forward by political parties are Ali al-Shukri, former Minister of Planning from 2011 to 2014 and MP from 2014 to 2018, and Mohammed Toufiq al-Alawi, who served as Minister of Communication from 2006 to 2007, and again from the end of 2010-2012, when he resigned.

The third shortlisted is Mustafah al-Kadhimi, head of the Iraqi National Intelligence Service since 2016. He has worked to purge the influence of parties over the institution, and is seen as the least partisan among the candidates. https://www.rudaw.net/english/middleeast/iraq/210120201

tman23   I had been busy following up on Hadr Al -Ameri , whom I was told was arrested by US forces after the air strike on Solemani .... I kept looking for articles about it in more detail but there has not been anything I’ve seen worthy of credible and new .....

The word now is he was loaded on an aircraft with a few others and taken away ..... remember he also rules one of the largest blocks with Sadr.... here’s the kicker ...Sadr has been holding out in Iran having meetings with other ****e leaders .... I’m assuming..IMO.... he is scared that there is a spot for him on a US express aircraft also.... So question being , HOW DO YOU FORM A NEW GOVERNMENT WHEN 2 of the largest winning blocks Sadr and Ameri ....and one is missing other is sitting in Iran as his Iraqi people call for less Iranian influence ? ....
