MNT GOAT: Al-Sudani’s Second Term and Maliki’s Political Collapse
Recent developments in Iraq signal a major shift in politics and the MNT GOAT narrative. Nouri al-Maliki’s ambition for a third term is facing overwhelming internal and external rejection, while Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani’s prospects for a second term are gaining momentum. Here’s everything you need to know.
Maliki Faces Overwhelming Rejection
In a recent article titled “THE SUDANESE COALITION PULLS THE RUG OUT FROM UNDER MALIKI… INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL REJECTION CONFRONTS HIS AMBITION FOR A THIRD TERM”, Bahaa al-Araji, head of the Reconstruction and Development bloc in Iraq’s Parliament, announced the need to reassess Maliki’s nomination.
Coordination Framework Opposition: 11 out of 12 parties within the Coordination Framework now reportedly reject Maliki’s nomination.
Al-Sudani’s Role: Al-Sudani initially supported Maliki to end political deadlock and expedite government formation. His approach was aimed at resolving issues, not prolonging the crisis.

Al-Sudani’s Second Term: A Strong Possibility
Reports titled “BARACK’S MEETING IGNITES BAGHDAD… HAS SUDANI’S SECOND TERM BEEN DECIDED?”suggest that Al-Sudani’s second term is highly likely.
US Support: The meeting between US President’s envoy Thomas Barak and Al-Sudani is being interpreted as an American green light for his second term.
Political Shift: Maliki and the Dawa Party may be removed entirely from the premiership, making way for Al-Sudani’s leadership.
Conditions: Key supporters like Qais al-Khazali and Ammar al-Hakim conditionally back Al-Sudani, requiring that past “rebellions” against the Coordination Framework not be repeated.

“With US backing and domestic support, Mohammed Shia al-Sudani is positioned for a second term as Iraq’s Prime Minister, signaling the decline of Maliki and the Dawa Party.”
Timeline & Urgency: Iraqi Election Drama
The Iraqi political process has faced multiple delays:
Constitutional Deadlines Passed: Many official deadlines for government formation have already lapsed.
US Deadline for Maliki Withdrawal: The Coordination Framework has until February 27 to withdraw Maliki’s nomination.
Parliamentary Pressure: The ruling bloc is expected to reconvene soon to secure a majority to revoke Maliki’s nomination.
Key Takeaway: The deadlock is ending. Al-Sudani’s return is imminent, enabling Iraq to continue reforms and stabilize the economy.
Why Al-Sudani Supports the Government, Not Maliki
Despite appearances, Al-Sudani’s support of Maliki was strategic, not personal:
Forming the Next Government Quickly: He prioritized timely governance over political gamesmanship.
Economic Growth: Al-Sudani understands that delaying reforms could hinder Iraq’s economic potential and the anticipated dinar revaluation.
RESET Implications: These reforms are part of the broader Iraqi RESET, which has global financial implications for MNT GOAT stakeholders.
Q&A: Al-Sudani, Maliki, and the RV
Q1: Will Maliki step down voluntarily?
A: Unlikely. He insists that withdrawal must come from the bloc that nominated him, prolonging political uncertainty.
Q2: How secure is Al-Sudani’s second term?
A: Very secure. With US endorsement and growing domestic support, his leadership is expected to continue Iraq’s reforms.
Q3: What does this mean for the Iraqi dinar and RV?
A: Al-Sudani’s leadership and the completion of economic reforms set the stage for the revaluation, signaling a major flip rather than a minor adjustment.
Q4: How long will the political drama last?
A: The deadlock is near its end, with major decisions expected within days, as the Coordination Framework and parliament finalize actions.
Final Thoughts
Al-Sudani’s likely second term marks a critical turning point in Iraqi politics. Maliki’s decline, US engagement, and swift parliamentary action all signal that Iraq is nearing political stability. For MNT GOAT followers, this strengthens confidence that the Iraqi RESET is advancing toward its next stage.
Stay informed and monitor developments closely—this is the news that shapes the RV narrative.

MNT GOAT
In the article titled “THE SUDANESE COALITION PULLS THE RUG OUT FROM UNDER MALIKI… INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL REJECTION CONFRONTS HIS AMBITION FOR A THIRD TERM” we read of a notable (recent) development, Bahaa al-Araji, head of the Reconstruction and Development bloc in the Iraqi Parliament, announced the need to reassess Nouri al-Maliki’s nomination for prime minister. I am hearing they are up to 11 out of the 12 parties that form the Coordination Framework now rejecting al-Maliki’s nomination. WOW!
In a tweet on his official Twitter account, which was received by Iraq Observer, al-Araji stated that “ Sudani’s aim in supporting al-Maliki’s nomination was to push for an end to the political deadlock and to move towards resolving outstanding issues, fulfilling his promise to his constituents and acting as part of the solution, not a party to the crisis, in an effort to form a capable government with full powers.”
He added, “However, this path is now facing rejection from key parties within the coordination framework, political forces within the national sphere, and regional and international objections.
In this next article we learn the potential for a second term for al-Sudani is VERY HIGH. It is titled “BARACK’S MEETING IGNITES BAGHDAD… HAS SUDANI’S SECOND TERM BEEN DECIDED?”
In Baghdad, during the past few hours, signs of a remarkable political shift have emerged, 24 hours before a session that was supposed to be decisive for the coordination framework in the government formation file. Data indicates a possible change in the nomination process that may lead to the removal of Nouri al-Maliki and the Dawa Party from the premiership (altogether) in favor of the rise of Mohammed Shia al-Sudani as his replacement, but with conditions, according to Al-Mada newspaper.
The newspaper, in a report seen by Al-Sa’a Network, quoted its sources as saying that “the meeting between the US President’s envoy to Syria, Thomas Barak, and Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani was understood as an American green light for a second term for al-Sudani,” stressing that “the meeting was frank, clear, and very practical.”
Folks, this is exactly the kind of news in this article we want to hear. We need al-Sudani to return and continue the reforms for his second term. If you recall his announcements of the Iraqi dinar and the coming revaluation. He meant the reinstatement not a simple move upwards but a major flip.
“Maliki expected the circumstances of his passage to be similar to the 2010 scenario, but the ground is slippery this time,” noting that “this time Iran will not determine the candidate for the premiership, but rather America holds most of the cards .”
So here is the condition they referred to in the above article:
She added that “Qais al-Khazali and Ammar al-Hakim supported al-Sudani, but on conditions that included a pledge not to repeat what was described as rebellion against the framework during the first term.” Honestly I do not think this is going to matter for al-Sudani as he will do what is best for Iraq not the Coordination Framework as long as Iran is involved.

How long can this Iraqi election drama continue?
So, as you know many of the constitutional deadlines have already passed and so much for that. But there is more pressure and we learn about it in the article titled “IRAQ FACES NEW US DEADLINE TO WITHDRAW NOURI AL-MALIKI NOMINATION”
Iraq’s Shiite Coordination Framework (CF) has until February 27 to withdraw Nouri Al-Maliki’s nomination for prime minister, a senior source within the alliance told Shafaq News on Tuesday. The deadline was discussed during a meeting held on Monday, where Al-Maliki made clear he would not step aside, adding that any reversal would have to come from the bloc that nominated him. Oh…. he is such a patriot, isn’t he… lol..lol..lol.. 
. Chalk one more dark mark for Maliki. Doesn’t he even realize that he is only making things much worst for himself in the long-run? Or is he just so desperate to stay in power somehow? We can see there is an end to this deadlock coming VERY soon!
The Framework, parliament’s ruling bloc, is expected to convene again before Friday, with discussions focused on rallying a majority to revoke his nomination.
So, even though al-Maliki tried and tried to make it sound as if al-Sudani supported him but not telling the entire story behind it. In a previous article we learned the TRUTH as to why al-Sudani supported Maliki’s nomination in the first place and it was not that he was so great but rather he just wanted to form the next government quickly. Al-Sudani understands the criticality of not delaying the final set of reforms and growing the economy. It is at the verge of an explosion. The article is titled “THE SUDANESE COALITION PULLS THE RUG OUT FROM UNDER MALIKI… INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL REJECTION CONFRONTS HIS AMBITION FOR A THIRD TERM”
