THE SUDANESE COALITION PULLS THE RUG OUT FROM UNDER MALIKI… INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL REJECTION CONFRONTS HIS AMBITION FOR A THIRD TERM
In a notable 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.
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. This necessitates a reassessment of the tools and mechanisms that guarantee the achievement of the desired goal, free from biases and personal interests.”
