Iraqi writer and analyst: Iraqi situation serious and on brink

The Iraqi crisis is escalating continuously despite appointing a new head of government, followed by rejecting demonstrations for the mandate. The writer and political analyst, Alaa al-Khatib, talked to Hawar News Agency.

"Appointing a new prime minister will not solve the problem"

"The demonstrations went out to achieve their goals, and the demonstrators have demands, they cannot stop without fulfilling the wishes of the demonstrators, i.e. the Iraqi street, Iraqis sacrificed to have justice and dignity for hundreds of martyrs and thousands of Wounded and injured.

  All these sacrifices in order to achieve the goals of the rising youth, and to have a future for the coming generations, not to stop halfway."

"Once a new prime minister is appointed, the problem is not about a person, it is about a system and a way of governing, the street will not stop unless its demands are met, first of which is to reject quotas and sectarianism and correct the imbalance in the political process, in addition to holding early elections and approving the party law, and a lot of things related to job creation and others."

 "The Iraqi situation is on the brink,"

 Al-Khatib said, "the prime minister in charge will present a new roadmap for the administration of the country.  its success depends on the political blocs ceding their demands and privileges, as well as on the cooperation of the demonstrators with Mr. Allawi and giving him strength and support to put pressure on the political forces. to force them to accept change." 

He added: "There is a great chance of success despite the difficult task. S Success depends primarily on treating the problem seriously and  stubbornness by any party  will lead to an unwelcome end, the situation is serious and it is on the brink."

On the international situation, Alaa al-Khatib said: "There is international sympathy and regional support for Iraq, noting that the region does not tolerate any more chaos, as a group of countries have declared their support for Iraq, notably the United States, regional countries, China and others."   

"The fate of the Iraqi government is related to acheiving practical and serious solutions on the ground, as it relies on important factors, urgent security and security consolidation through the security agencies taking their natural role in monopolizing violence through the law," he said. 

Differences in democratic countries are normal, but more importantly, the solutions to problems, the establishment of the rule of law and the non-distribution of the sovereignty of the country."

He concluded by saying "There is a big problem in Iraq which is the distribution of sovereignty and the imbalance in the relationship between the components, a defect in the relationship with Erbil, for example must be corrected, and must correct the Arab-Iraqi, Iranian, Iraqi and American-Iraqi relations.
