Over the eight years he spent in power did not face a Prime Minister outgoing Nuri al-Maliki, a threat, such as what it now faces, as it fell large tracts of the country in the hands of terrorist groups, has also become a reservation for support or what is worse, the character of Washington and Tehran biggest supporters abroad , but that his friends are starting to think explicitly in the possibility of leaving the political arena.
Maliki's opponents say it is' responsible for the intensification of the insurgency to the government because of his policies that have led to a sense of some of the components of alienation and exclusion by him.
Washington has said publicly that he 'does not have any intention to choose the rulers of Iraq, but made clear that they want leadership more representative of Iraqis in Baghdad', did not reveal Iran, which have influence widely between Shiite parties in Iraq for all its leaves, but it has avoided the appearance of pro-owners.
Indeed, the members of the cluster, which belongs to al-Maliki, 64, now concede that he may be forced to leave if the Shiite groups, Sunnis and Kurds to gather in a new governing coalition.
Said one of the MPs leading a coalition of state law, speaking on condition of anonymity, said 'Iraq after the tenth of June, not as it was before, everything changed, and everything is on the table, and if he insisted others that they will file only if it is not al-Maliki as prime minister We are ready to discuss it ', adding' al-Maliki will be involved in the decision-making must be a smooth transition, and we believe that an open mind and considering the options, which understands that it has up to this point. '
The second member of the 'coalition of the rule of law' that 'talk about changing from the inside', adding 'that the prime minister understands that he should not be associated with the end of his disintegration of Iraq'.
He says Iraqi politicians that the lack of confirmation of Washington and Tehran support for the owners encouraged his opponents to insist on his departure, and press both Washington and Tehran for a quick settlement of the crisis, the United States insists that it will not choose the next leader of Iraq, but Foreign Minister John Kerry, who met with al-Maliki in Baghdad Monday, explicitly that Washington recognizes the resentment Sunnis and Kurds and some Shia al-Maliki.
The meeting between Maliki and U.S. diplomats last week's hot, and said a Western diplomat said al-Maliki told the Americans that he 'would have to step aside if it no longer has the necessary parliamentary support for a third term', adding 'I think that he had received the message.
But I would not be surprised if he tried to circumvent them. '
Said a senior official in Maliki's coalition said U.S. diplomats told him already that he should step down if it turns out that the Sunni and Kurdish blocs Shiite competition in parliament will not support it for a third term ', and added' they believe by the political situation in the country and what is happening in the Sunni areas of the country that al-Maliki can not put pressure on other parties to govern for a third term, has become a symbol of polarization in the eyes of others, regardless of his performance. '
He pointed out that U.S. officials have encouraged the 'rule of law' to find other candidates, although Washington's position encourages other parties to insist on the departure of al-Maliki, he said, 'Once you understand the other parties in the U.S. position Vsti_dd Maliki rejected. This gives them a psychological boost. "
As for Iran's other main source of external support to the government in Baghdad, were less enthusiastic in their support of the owners, although it was not clear whether they were willing to sacrifice, and senior Iranian official said earlier this week 'Iran respects the choice of the Iraqi people.
If they do not want al-Maliki, head of the government, why support him? '.
He said a senior Iranian official last that 'Iran supports al-Maliki, but not in absolute terms as supports Syrian President Bashar al-Assad', and added, 'Iran's support of the owners of a limited and conditional, was quoted Iran's ambassador to Iraq this message to the owners, Iran is believed that the al-Maliki to form immediately Council of Ministers combines many categories, but at the same time believes that the time may have been missed on his third term '. |
