    Parliament failed to complete the first reading of the draft organization of maritime navigation between Iraq and Kuwait in the Khawr Abd Allah overlooking the Arabian Gulf, after the submission of mass «Iraq free» request signed by 50 deputies to pull out of the project, amid accusations that the government and parliament to «acquiescence and complicity with Kuwait and the waiver of land Iraq ».

    (In law, acquiescence occurs when a person knowingly stands by without raising any objection to the infringement of their rights, while someone else unknowingly and without malice aforethought makes a claim on their rights. Consequently, the person whose rights are infringed loses the ability to make a claim against the infringer, or succeed in an injunction suit due to the infringer's conduct. The term is most generally a kind of "permission" given by silence or passiveness. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acquiescence ~~RED)

    And launched an MP for the Iraqi bloc, free high-Nassif, a scathing attack on the Iraqi foreign and diplomatic, accusing it of «failure to maintain the interests of the country». He said in a statement to Al-Hayat, said that «the Khawr Abd Allah port Iraq dig بسواعد and mechanisms of Iraq since 1964. She added that «the Iraqi bloc free demanded the lifting of the bill so as not to confer any legal validity or parliamentary to the Committee on the demarcation of the border between Iraq and Kuwait», arguing that «the Security Council resolution No. 833 void and without any legal justification, but the weakness of the government's position and parliamentary Iraq is the reason the persistence of Kuwait much ».

    (United Nations Security Council resolution 833, adopted unanimously on 27 May 1993, after recalling resolutions 687 (1991), 689(1991), 773 (1992) and 806 (1993) in addition to a report by the Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali, the Council noted the continuing work of the United Nations Iraq-Kuwait Boundary Demarcation Commission.


    The resolution recalled that the United Nations Iraq-Kuwait Boundary Demarcation Commission was not to reallocate territory, but for the first time mark the precise coordinates of the border between Kuwait and Iraq on the basis of the agreement between the two countries in 1963. Iraq was reminded of its obligations under Resolution 687 which formed the basis of the ceasefire. The Council also welcomed the Secretary-General's decision requiring the United Nations Iraq-Kuwait Observation Mission (UNIKOM) to finalise the boundary of the demilitarised zone demarcated by the Commission.


    Acting under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter, the Security Council welcomed and appreciated the work of the Boundary Demarcation Commission on its completion.[1]It also reaffirmed that the decisions of the Commission on the boundary were final and demanded that Iraq and Kuwait respect the inviolability of international borders. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Security_Council_Resolution_833 ~~ RED)

    The agreement not to raise any knowledge of another ship carrying nationality of one of the contracting parties are not aware of their nationality during their passage in the territorial waters of the other party when used channel, while foreign vessels Vmlzimh raise aware her only to apply the provisions of this Agreement, warships and Coast Guard for both parties, and each Party shall endeavor to prevent fishermen from working in the other part of the maritime corridor. It also requires the cooperation of the parties to preserve the marine environment from pollution risks whatsoever and work to combat and eliminate its effects.

    She pointed out that «the decisions of the International Committee which was formed to demarcate the border illegally and non-binding because it is the Commission incomplete withdrew one of its members, a member of Indonesia through its work in the nineties of the last century, as well as that all Security Council resolutions were related to the withdrawal of the Iraqi army from Kuwait, has been the withdrawal of the army and therefore supposed to cancel all international resolutions, but the Iraqi diplomacy was weak and complicit, and this caused the persistence of Kuwait.

    Under the draft agreement on identifying the waterway from the meeting point in the Khor Abdullah channel international borders between border points (156) and (157) southwards to the point (162) and then to the beginning of the entrance to the creek.

    And warned that «this Agreement if passed in parliament, will enable Kuwait to control the port of Khor Abdullah future».

    Iraq remains subject to international sanctions and Chapter VII of the UN Charter, which is obliged to pay 5 percent of its imports reparations to Kuwait and the countries affected by the invasion of the former regime of Saddam to Kuwait on the second of August of 1990.

    The Iraqi parliament lifted its to-day on Saturday without being able to modify the Accountability and Justice Law (de-Baathification) and the draft law criminalizing the Baath Party, as well as raising a bill regulating marine navigation between Kuwait and Iraq in the Khor Abdullah.

    Inconclusive results of the elections: No one holds the key to an absolute majority
    09-05-2013 | (Voice of Iraq)


    Talk | David Ali | Baghdad |
    Unexpectedly, the provincial elections have become more exciting than the lackluster polling day, with the announcement of the final results of the elections on the fourth of May (May) month.

    Political blocks were placed in its high ceiling electoral campaigns to win up to the point of "absolute majority" of her that has not been achieved, at a time when other blocks preparations pessimistic about the formation of coalitions of local governments and reaped good results.

    ♦ Areas controlled by the coalition of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's "state of law" no longer the case after losing about 30 per cent of the seats compared to the electoral cycle in 2009, despite his alliance with the Badr Organization and the Virtue Party and the Reform Movement, led by Ibrahim al-Jaafari.

    The show features about the possibility of preliminary Sadrist alliance with the Supreme Council, even if this happened, the rule of law will face a difficult political phase.

    ♦ State law did not harvested according to the announcement by the Independent Electoral Commission in Iraq, more than 97 seats in the provinces, while the total harvested citizen alliance emanating from the Supreme Islamic Council and the Sadrist movement arrived lists to 118 seats.

    Outweigh the current and the Council in the case of the alliance in this province orthat will be the beginning of the end of the control of Nuri al-Maliki on local councils, especially in the south and Baghdad.

    The Iraqi academic says Ihsan Al Shammari said that "the results of the elections have produced different weights and perhaps indicate what will be the image in the parliamentary elections scheduled for about ten months after, coming فالتحالفات will be hotter than the campaign."

    Islamic Supreme Council of fingernail with 61 seats, also obtained lists of the Sadrist movement 58 arrived in progress to 41 per cent from the previous local elections.

    Sadr confirmed that one of the most winning lists "in the elections by winning those seats and ♦ block citizen would be a" key ally "for the formation of local governments.

    Secretary General of the Liberal bloc in Iraq Zia al-Asadi said at a press conference attended by "talk" following the announcement of the Commission the results of the voting that "for the Liberal bloc to 58 seats show that we are one of the most winning lists in the elections and seats obtained in this election than the previous session 17 seats an increase of 41 per cent, while a citizen Alyadd block got seats 7 per cent increase from the previous elections, the ♦ State of Law coalition dropped its seats by 30 per cent from the previous session. "

    He added Asadi "alliances horizon open us to the next stage but the closest ally is a mass citizen but is a key ally and all menus currently being negotiated and there are sessions and dialogues is not over until this moment."

    But al-Sadr alliance with the assumption Hakim does not seem to be available in most provinces, at the time of not logically neglect ability coalition of state law to manage the game of alliances, especially as he gained experience to strengthen its influence and bet on weak opponents in previous years.

    In Basra seems to be a coalition of state law, which led the local government prior to the province of Basra twenty seats out of thirty-five will continue to be led by the new government have, with the ♦ decrease of four seats will add will put some of the difficulties of this stage, which did not constitute the Maliki's coalition majority, and perhaps add some concessions as well.

    The province of Baghdad that contains the largest Council has 54 seats confirmed before "State of Law coalition to win 20 seats, got united 7 seats and a coalition of citizen to 6 seats, was followed by a coalition of Liberals five seats and DAI coalition, the Iraqi national unified stream elites and independent Iraqi Arabic three seats for each of them, while the state of citizenship bloc got two seats. "

    Maliki's coalition won ten seats in Nasiriyah also came after mass citizen seven seats, but it is equal with the bloc itself in Wasit province, seven seats each, were beyond the Liberal bloc thoracic five seats were distributed among other seats in the two provinces on blocks less weight.

    Could not some powers large powerful harvested first places in the province of Najaf, as it rose to the forefront of the new entity conservative controversial Adnan al while his entity "Loyalty to Najaf" to nine seats in the province of Najaf, and then a coalition of citizen six seats and a coalition of state law, five Liberal seats and three seats and the state fair two seats. "

    The coalition of Najaf The Partnership combines Renaissance and the Dawa Party organization inside, Vhsaloa on one seat for each of them. "

    The democratic currents that were not able to participate in the provincial councils in the years after crushed by the religious parties was a share in the new equation for the provincial councils.

    The Democratic Movement won ten seats in the 12 counties majority of the Iraqi Communist Party.

    He says the leadership of the current Jassim Hilfi for "discussion" that "the current election campaign has managed to achieve good results despite its simplicity and the difficulty of comparing it with what has been spent in campaigns large and influential forces."

    Hilfi believe that "Saint Lego system alone is not the reason to the achievement of democratic power for good results, but a relative shift in the mood of the people after the deteriorating conditions of services, and plunged the country in crisis left behind by the quota system."

    In Salahuddin province, the coalition of "fans first", led by Governor Ahmed Abdullah seven seats came after the list are united, led by Osama Najafi five seats followed by a list of local bear the designation "Iraq authenticity" by obtaining five seats then the coalition, the Iraqi National three seats and the same number National Alliance.

    Ratification of the results is still open because of appeals made by the parties participating in the elections, but accurately pointed to the existence of unexpected changes in the map of the local councils may be reflected in earnest later on a map of the next parliament.


    ♦ SO IT LOOKS LIKE THE STATE LAW OF COALITION, MALIKI'S PARTY, IS FALLING BEHIND .... HIP HIP HOORAAAAAY ~~~RED LILY

    Iraq's Sunni-Shiite Divide
    About Governance

    By: Harith al-Qarawee for Al-Monitor Iraq Pulse Posted on May 7.

    There are two conflicting trends at the core of the sectarian dispute that is intensifying in Iraq.


    Summary :
    Iraq needs a political solution that recognizes the grievances of Iraq's Sunni populations and regions, Harith al-Qarawee writes.
    Original Title:
    Transferring the Syrian Conflict to Iraq
    Author: Harith al-Qarawee
    Translated by: Naria Tanoukhi

    Categories :Originals Iraq Syria Iran Security


    The first trend is influenced by domestic political considerations pertaining to the failure of the Shiite, Sunni and Kurdish forces to develop a governance and state administration formula that would reduce the sense of marginalization or exclusion by some parties that could lead to the division of the country.

    The second trend is influenced by regional dynamics, and is represented by the more sectarian Sunni and Shiite groups. These groups see the current conflict in Iraq as an integral part of the wider conflict taking place in the Levant region divided between a Sunni camp led or supported by Sunni regional powers such as Turkey, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia, and a Shiite camp led by Iran.

    As a result, the greater the disagreement and difficulty to reach an internal Iraqi solution, the greater the power of radical groups, and thus the impact of their narrative, which tends to portray the situation as a Sunni-Shiite cosmic struggle that does not recognize existing borders or internal environments.

    Al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) and Jabhat al-Nusra in Syria are the two main manifestations of the presence of such cross-border ideologies and organizational relations among groups that espouse them. The war being fought by the two groups is not one aimed at "spreading democracy," achieving "social justice" or reaching a political system based on broad participation. This war aims to achieve victory for the sake of the Salafist jihadist version of Islam against its enemies, which in this case are the Shiite-led government in Iraq and the Syrian regime dominated by Alawites (dubbed by Jabhat al-Nusra as "Nusayri" as a kind of insult and disrespect).

    Other than these two groups, there are groups such as the "Coordinating Committee of the Iraqi Revolution Youth" (the term coordinating committee became widely used during the Syrian revolution and had not been previously used in Iraq). These groups focus in their narrative on the importance of Sunni solidarity and not to trust any Shiite groups, including those opposed to Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. They tend to talk about the Shiites as totally affiliated with Iran. Thus, the term "Safavi" is often used to refer to the Shiite forces and members of the Iraqi army, which is dominated by Shiites. The term “Safavi” in the Sunni memory refers to the 1501-1736 Iranian Safavid dynasty, which warred with the Ottomans.

    On the Shiite side, there is the prominent group of "Hezbollah in Iraq," which formed what they called the Mukhtar Army, whose name is linked to the Shiite historical narrative. These groups adopt an explicit sectarian ideology in their criticism of the Sunni opposition, and warn of the attempt of Sunnis to seize power again in Iraq. Also, they publicly express in their speeches sympathy with the Syrian regime in its confrontation with the Syrian opposition, and describe all its factions as sectarian.

    These groups transcend Maliki’s position in their criticism and accusations of treason against Sunni opponents. Wathiq al-Battat, secretary-general of Iraqi Hezbollah, warned Maliki of his soft stance and submission to demands made by demonstrators, and told him to be prepared for punishment.

    There is a page on Facebook called "The Mukhtar Brigades," which displays a picture of Battat. The group has been accused of distributing leaflets in some Sunni areas of Baghdad demanding that the Sunni population leave.

    There is another military formation in Damascus known as "Abul Fadl Abbas Brigade" — in reference to Abbas, the son of Ali ibn Abi Talib, a key Shiite fighter symbol. This brigade is presumably tasked with protecting the Shiite shrine of Sayyeda Zeinab in Damascus, which came under attacks by Syrian Salafist groups. The composition of the brigade — which includes Iraqis, Lebanese, and Iranians — clearly reflects this cross-border sectarian ideology and its interpretation of the ongoing conflict in the two countries.

    The simplified missionary-like narratives adopted by the Sunni and Shiite sectarian groups succeed in attracting many youths, especially amid the prevailing radical atmosphere and violent acts that feed collective solidarity. However, it is still possible to say that we have not yet reached a stage of complete integration of the Iraqi and Syrian fronts. Feelings of cross-border sectarian solidarity does not necessarily lead to forging "political and military unity" and overcoming restraining dynamics such as national identity and local relations.

    Most of the major political forces on the two sides have not resorted to the use of explicit sectarian language, although there are signs in the statements of some politicians that imply sectarian loyalty. This means that they realize that indulging in sectarian rhetoric can reduce their chances for involvement in the national political sphere. It could be argued that even with the presence of Sunni and Shiite Iraqi militants fighting one another in Syria, the vast majority of radical forces are focused on local objectives. It is perhaps for this reason that Jabhat al-Nusra denied being part of al-Qaeda in Iraq, and preferred to have direct links with the international head of al-Qaeda, Ayman al-Zawahri.

    On the other hand, the Iraqi national Shiite group known as the Sadrist movement not only warned of interference in Syrian affairs, but also raised in one of its public celebrations flags of both the Syrian regime and the Syrian opposition to emphasize the group’s neutral position on the conflict.

    Easing sectarian polarization is still possible in Iraq if the protests in Sunni areas were recognized as the result of a deep political problem, not just a simulation of the Syrian experience. While extremist forces on both sides are seeking to feed the conflict and give the impression that violence and confrontation are the only way, the largest spectrum of Iraqi society does not want a new civil war, and the major social groupings are not convinced about the usefulness of such a war.

    What Iraq needs is a new political deal that would allow the machine of the political system to restart so as to achieve a balance between the need to preserve unity and internal peace, and the inclination toward autonomy and greater independence in Sunni areas in particular.

    In Iraqi Kurdistan



    By: Denise Natali for Al-Monitor Iraq Pulse Posted on May 9.


    While Abdullah Ocalan, leader of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) pursues the cease-fire plan with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the PKK is also involved in a subtle power struggle across Turkey’s borders. This struggle is being played out by the PKK’s efforts to check the influence of Massoud Barzani, president of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, over leadership of the Kurds. By engaging in the Kurdistan Region’s messy pre-election politics and supporting the opposition Change Movement (Goran), the PKK is attempting to stifle a third mandate for Barzani, while stirring local criticism of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). These PKK interventions are unlikely to alter the status quo in the region — at least for the forthcoming elections — however; they are fueling political fragmentation and creating additional challenges to regional stability.



    Indeed, rivalries between the PKK and Barzani’s Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) are nothing new. During the Iraqi Kurdish civil war of the 1990s, the PKK and KDP engaged in armed conflict against each other, as well as the KDP against the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK). The Ocalan-Barzani competition re-emerged after the Syrian civil war broke out, and as different Syrian Kurdish groups backed by the PKK and its affiliate, the Democratic Union Party (PYD) vied for power with the KDP-supported Kurdish National Council. This rivalry continues with Barzani tied to Turkey and attempting to court Syrian Kurdish youth groups and independents away from PYD influence.


    Still, Barzani and Ocalan reached a tacit agreement after Ocalan’s imprisonment in 1999, which allowed the PKK to relocate in the Kandil Mountains in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. The KRG also tolerates the presence of thousands of PKK supporters in the Makhmour Camp, where they have been residing since 1994 as political refugees. Moreover, despite the rapprochement between Erbil and Ankara, Barzani has affirmed that “the period of Kurds killing Kurds is over” and that the KRG Peshmerga would not engage militarily against the PKK or any other Kurdish group. These efforts have led to a mutually peaceful coexistence between the KDP and PKK, despite the distinctly different ideologies and regional relationships each has developed, particularly with Ankara.


    The last six months, however, have seen a shift in PKK tactics inside the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Whereas the PKK leader in Kandil, Murat Karaliyan, had previously indicated his willingness to work with Barzani in 2009, he now opposes electing him to a third term as president. The PKK is using its networks and social media to incite local opposition against Barzani and the Iraqi Kurdish parties. For instance, it is encouraging local populations in the Iraqi Kurdish-Iranian border town of Halabja to criticize the KRG and Barzani for lack of services. One of the PKK websites has inflammatory photos and remarks about Barzani's leadership, as well as other KRG political party leaders.


    This shift reflects a reaction to Barzani’s growing power — including his close ties to Erdogan — and his claims or ambitions to become a leader of all the Kurds, expressed in Kurdish as “president of Kurdistan,” which the PKK rejects. More specifically, the PKK shift coincides with the illness of Jalal Talabani, president of Iraq and leader of the PUK, which has further weakened the PUK and limited any serious competition for the KDP and Barzani's power. In fact, the rump of the PUK — known as the "Gang of Four" — may have called for a separate list in the planned September elections to reflect its differences and attempts to challenge the KDP. Yet the PUK leadership continues to support and depend upon Barzani as president, particularly as a financial patron.


    This is why the PKK is now calling for a “Kurdistan supported by Goran.” Goran remains the only secular Kurdish nationalist party that seeks to remove Barzani from office while pressing for a parliamentary and not presidential system for the region. Goran also has indicated its support for the PKK and affirmed the PYD as the representative of the Kurds in Syria, posing another direct challenge to Barzani and the KDP. The PKK-Goran alliance also is based on shared concerns about Turkey’s regional power and the need to check Erdogan’s influence over Iraqi Kurds and in Syria.


    It is unlikely that the PKK will weaken the deeply rooted patronage networks inside the Kurdistan Region that will assure Barzani power and KDP and PUK influence for years to come. Many people, particularly the youth, may support the PKK as true Kurdish nationalists and back Goran; however, they also have been co-opted by the increasingly generous handouts and comfortable lifestyles made available to them by the KRG in recent years. Many others are disinterested in politics altogether or unwilling to pay the consequences of being linked to the opposition.


    Still, PKK engagement in Iraqi Kurdish politics matters because it reveals the growing complexity of the trans-border Kurdish problem and the PKK’s political agenda to change the status quo. This challenge will not only be about advancing Kurdish nationalist rights in different states, but clarifying who will represent Kurdish interests and what form these nationalist interests should take. Whatever the outcome, these struggles will likely create a wide opening for more deal-making between Kurdish groups and regional states, keeping the Kurdish nationalist movement fragmented from within and across borders.
