    Kurdish Parties Divided Over Fighting Iraqi Elections as Single Bloc
    By HEVIDAR AHMED

    ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - As Kurdish political parties prepare for the Iraqi parliamentary elections in late April next year, some senior officials from the Kurdish opposition have expressed skepticism about joining a united Kurdish bloc in the disputed territories.

    Some of the larger opposition parties say they do not back such a move because of bad experience in the past with the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) and Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK).

    “The KDP and PUK committed many frauds in the previous provincial elections in Mosul and Diyala,” charged Aram Muhammad, the head of the Change Movement’s (Gorran) election office. “We have learned from our experience not to repeat the same mistake.”

    A senior official from the Kurdistan Islamic Union echoed Muhammad’s concerns about KDP and PUK’s wrong approaches in Nineveh and Diyala. “We cannot trust them because they only seek their own interests,” said Muhammad Ahmad, former head of the Islamic Union’s faction in the Iraqi parliament.

    However, Abdulstar Majid, a member of the Islamic League’s (Komal) political bureau, said that his party supports a united Kurdish bloc in the disputed territories, especially in Kirkuk. “In order not to waste the Kurdish votes in the disputed territories, the Kurdish political parties must form a coalition to participate in the upcoming parliamentary election in those areas,” he urged.

    Under the electoral law, each province is allocated a number of parliamentary seats, based on population. This law, which is to be implemented in the upcoming election, grants three extra seats to the three Kurdish provinces, increasing the total number of Kurdish seats to 44.

    Najib Abdulla, the current head of the Islamic Union’s faction in the Iraqi parliament, believes the new method of distribution could grant up to seven more seats to the Kurds seats in the April election.

    Abdulla called on the Kurdish political parties to take advantage of the law. “The Kurdish political parties should carefully study the number of Kurds in each Iraqi province, especially in Kirkuk,” he added.

    The Islamic Union’s Ahmad presumes that the extra seats could favor his party in the April election. “The Islamic Union is currently working on appointing its candidates for the next election,” he said.

    In the 2010 election, the Kurdish bloc won 15 parliamentary seats in the disputed territories.

    Abdulla believes that number could increase to 20 seats if the Kurdish political parties participate in the upcoming election as a single bloc.

    With the new distribution method, the Kurds will be able to increase their presence from 18 to 20 percent in Iraq’s next National Assembly.

    Gorran, which currently has eight places in the Iraqi parliament, also hopes to benefit from the new distribution. “All the statistics show that Gorran will win more seats in the upcoming election,” Muhammad claimed.

    Aram told Rudaw that his party would soon discuss nominating its candidates for the election.

    Majid also discussed the nomination process with his party. “The party’s branches in each province are responsible for selecting its candidates in the respective province,” he explained.

    When asked whether the Kurdish parties are willing to form a coalition in the disputed territories Khasraw Goran, the head of the KDP’s election bureau, said that the KDP will begin discussing the initiative with the other parties next month.

    He said that, at this point, it is unclear whether the Kurdish parties support a coalition in the disputed territories.

    A Stronger Kurdistan in the Pipeline
    By Ako Mohammed

    In a book I was reading recently a document caught my attention. It dates back to the Kurdish civil war era and is about a conversation between Jalal Talabani, the leader of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), and a delegate from the Iranian Revolutionary Guards (Pasdaran). The two discuss possible ways to export crude oil from the Shiwashok fields in Kurdistan to Iran in order to generate revenues for the PUK-controlled areas.

    Given the situation back then, a conversation of this nature is quite normal. Relations those days with the neighboring countries were often based on military and intelligence interests. Moreover, the Kurdish people’s need for survival made many practices normal.

    But the situation is completely different today. ExxonMobil and many other oil giants are operating in Kurdistan. As we all know, in less than a month the Kurdistan-Turkey pipeline is to carry Kurdish oil to the outside world. As my friend and Gorran MP Ali Hama Salih says, this is a strategic and historical project, “If kept in honest hands.”

    From the era of getting oil buckets we have leapt into the era of pipelines. This is a great opportunity for Kurdistan to play an important economic role. The Kurdistan Region sits on 55 billion barrels of oil. This is to say that Kurdistan’s oil reserves are bigger than those of Libya. Reports also indicate that Kurdistan can be one of the world’s major suppliers of natural gas.

    Three years ago, a former adviser to the German chancellor told me that the world still does not believe the figures coming out of Kurdistan. That is because the numbers have not been verified. But once they are, Kurdistan will be in a strong position in the world.

    Today, Kurdistan is reaching out to the outside world. But because this is not noticed inside Kurdistan, it has made it difficult to take advantage of the economic steps the region is taking to promote its political status.

    Domestic issues in Kurdistan, particularly in Sulaimani province, overshadow the oil pipelines and make them seem insignificant.

    The pipeline might be seen as just a means to export oil. But to me, it is significant in two aspects: First, it will prevent the smuggling of oil and make oil exportation a national project. Second, it will provide a stronger bargaining chip for Kurdish politicians. As Reuters had pointed out, it will provide economic independence for Kurdistan.

    By owning its oil and getting to export 300,000 barrels per day from the Kirkuk oilfields, Kurdistan can prevent Baghdad from imposing difficult and unreasonable conditions on the autonomous region. This would also tell Baghdad that Erbil can no longer ignore Kurdistan’s share of the federal budget, which is expected to reach US$18 billion.

    Kurdistan will gain more political strength once the pipelines have become operational. Therefore, political groups must look to the future instead of focusing their attention on petty domestic issues.

    For instance, the Change Movement (Gorran) is one of those political parties that has a share in the future of Kurdistan; therefore it has to have a vision and future plans. It should not tie everything to the new government and the provincial administration in Sulaimani. We need a good opposition that can keep the hands honest.

    On the other hand, the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) and PUK have to take the views of their members more seriously. The inside voices that call for “letting go of some posts for the sake of stability” must be heard. This means the PUK and KDP should be more generous when negotiating with Gorran and other parties.

    Crisis of democracy for Islamic parties

    In recent years, the Middle East has witnessed several examples of religious parties coming to power. These parties have usually encountered problems when it comes to dealing with a democratic system of governance. This has led to the fall of some — such as in Egypt — or to major challenges in terms of democratic values, ​​such as human rights and public freedoms. Why are religious parties unable to deal with democracy? Is it the lack of necessary experience in governance, or are there other fundamental issues —linked to the intellectual and ideological structure of the religious parties — behind the problem?

    While Islamic parties in the Middle East have been keen to use democracy as a way to reach power and maintain their authority, they do not apply democratic principles when it comes to other aspects of governance.

    AuthorAli MamouriPosted November 12, 2013
    Translator(s)Joelle El-Khoury

    Historically, Middle Eastern societies have been confronted with democratic systems of governance in a sudden manner. This has resulted in a great shock within these societies, particularly among intellectuals. In contrast, democracy came to the West gradually, through centuries of cognitive theories developed by thinkers of the Enlightenment and post-Enlightenment eras, and accumulated human experiments. Moreover, some aspects of a democratic system have been present in European societies since the Middle Ages. The most important of these aspects — when making a comparison with the Middle East — is the relative separation between the political and religious authorities within various systems of governance in Europe.

    Islam and the Foundations of Governance, a book by Ali Abdel Raziq published in 1925 — shortly after the fall of the Ottoman Empire in 1922 — is a qualitative example of the shock that was produced at the time and subsequent reactions. The main idea of the book focused on rejecting the “caliphate” as the legitimate Islamic form of governance. Abdel Raziq pointed out that there is no specific system of governance prescribed in Islam, and that Islam did not forbid taking into consideration rational judgments and countries’ experiences in building their systems of governance. The book was harshly criticized by scholars of Islamic law in Egypt and other Arab countries. The author was tried and stripped of his position as a judge in Egypt, and many responses to the book were published.

    Theologians in Islamic societies faced the shock of democracy with the following question: Is it possible to establish a political system to manage the state that is separate from the religious system? The question was raised against the backdrop of a prevailing ideology that Islam is the true religion, is unequaled by any other religion, and should provide human beings with all their demands, whether individual or collective. Based on that, these thinkers showed two types of reactions. The first radically rejected democracy, and described it as being contrary to and divergent from Islam in all cases. The second tried to reconcile Islam and democracy, based on different versions of “modernizing Islamic theology." The first reaction was adopted by the various Salafist regimes in the region, which conclusively rejected the democratic system by abstaining from holding elections, establishing political parties and other key elements of democracy. The second reaction was adopted by the religious parties that we are talking about.

    The binary principle is the main problem of religious parties, as they try to combine the rule of God with the rule of the people in governance. The contradiction between the values ​​of democracy and some provisions of Sharia law emerges here, posing a significant challenge to these parties. This challenge occurs because while they rose to power through democratic mechanisms, they could not comply with all values ​​and elements of the democratic system. So they start to put restrictions and exceptions on democratic action in a variety of methods referred to as “religious democracy” by the religious parties.

    The first theoretical attempt in history came with the Shiite Jurist Mohammad Baqir al-Sadr, who considered that Islam can govern the community within democratic mechanisms, in an article titled “Khalafat al-Insan wa-Shahadat al-Anbia” (Victory the Role of Man, and Witness the Role of Prophets), where he mentioned the combination between the will of the people and that of God. The article was published in a collection known as Al-Islam Yaqod al-Hayat (Islam is Leading Life). The idea was developed in the Iranian Islamic regime by Islamic Revolution theorists, most notably Morteza Motahhar, Seyyed Mohammad Hosseini Behesht and Ayatollah Mohammad Taghi Mesbah Yazdi, who all have several publications on this subject.

    The Iranian achievement in developing the idea of ​​combining democracy with Islamic Sharia law is summarized by separating between legitimacy and acceptability. When Western political philosophers talk about democratic legitimacy, they clearly mean a system of governance that is accepted by the people. Yet, for the theorists of the Islamic Revolution and other Islamic parties in the Arab countries, legitimacy is adopted and based on Sharia law, and not the people’s will.

    The will of the people only provides the possibility of activating the real legitimacy, which is religious legitimacy. Accordingly, democracy is only a means to access and maintain power, not a comprehensive approach to the political regime.

    These theoretical efforts — in addition to the practical experiences of both Iran and Turkey, despite their differences — had a significant impact on the development of the political theory of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. Its political discourse shifted from absolute rejection of democracy as inherited from Sayyid Qutb, to the exploitation of democracy as an electoral tool, regardless of democracy’s values ​​and other key elements. Moreover, Shiite religious parties such as the Islamic Dawa Party in Iraq and Hezbollah in Lebanon share the Iranian vision on deeper theological and doctrinal levels.

    Thus, in each of the models where religious parties took power — such as in Iran, Turkey, Egypt, Tunisia and Iraq — lies an ambition similar to that of subjecting society to Sharia law, despite Sharia’s contradictions with the democratic model of governance. This raises fears among the opponents of these religious parties, especially in terms of human rights and public freedoms.

    One may deduce from the foregoing that the religious parties cannot be fully molded within a democratic system, given their dual ideological principles. This duality would restrict democracy within the religious limits of these parties. This is why these parties are always facing social crises demanding them to abide by the values ​​and principles of democracy and not to content themselves with using them as electoral tools that represent one aspect, and not all aspects, of democracy.

However, al-Maliki announced his exile in separate statements Shabandar assigned to conduct negotiations with al-Issawi, describing Issawi 'accused'. While silent 'united' for al-Maliki accused him of involvement in terrorist operations, the National Dialogue Front, led by Deputy Prime Minister Saleh al-Mutlaq announced its refusal to describe al-Issawi defendant.

    The opposition government intervention next momentum largest and commissioned popular impressively, which will raise the ceiling of demands, especially in terms of providing services to segments of society, and most importantly, access to a real partnership in the management of power, and this is what is difficult to digest by the parties in power and traditional both sides, party Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) Iraqi President Jalal Talabani, and the Kurdistan Democratic Party, led by regional president Massoud Barzani, who Aatada the PA leadership in the region alone since more than twenty years, making negotiations difficult to reconcile the programs on both sides, but nevertheless the candidate to lead the next government, Barzani stressed that everything is negotiable.
