Analysts: al-Maliki at war again after being convicted of the report of Mosul

Tomorrow Press / Baghdad: US publishing site today, a report on the status of former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, after the issue became public opinion in Iraq, against the backdrop of his conviction in the fall of the city of Mosul, according to the Commission as a result of the fall of Mosul report. US news website says, that al-Maliki a second war will be fought these days after he was accused in the report of Mosul, in particular that he had not finished the first war on aspirations to return to power again.

He says the US site, that al-Maliki has become a hot topic in Baghdad this week, and I talked speculation about the possibility of failure after his return from his visit to Iran, in order to avoid prosecution, according to American analysts Iraqis.

Analysts say the site “MEE”, that despite the hype, which revolves around accusations of al-Maliki, it is unlikely that al-Maliki basically tried for his alleged role in the fall of Mosul. In the meantime, al-Maliki returned last week from Iran to Baghdad, where he was when he received a number of members of his parliamentary bloc.

Maliki and subjected to political pressure from the Shiite coalition since August of last year, to step down after the fall of the city of Mosul and other cities, however, the rest of the militants, “Daash” in the past year. Analysts and academics, that the collapse of the dramatic to the Iraqi cities because of the withdrawal of security forces, including, highlighted the al-Maliki as commander in chief of the armed forces at the time, so it was considered Mosul report, al-Maliki accused first with him, according to members of the Committee to investigate the case.

After ten months of investigation, the report that the al-Maliki and other military officials concluded they are interested in the fall of Mosul and other cities, the report is also likely to be tried after the referral of the report to the Attorney General to file a lawsuit against the names in the report.

Came the justification report accusing al-Maliki, the fall of Mosul, after military-appointed incompetent leaders ignored the Iraqi military’s ability to fight, despite the training and exchange of billions in the past few years, not to mention not held accountable for failing leaders defeatists fall of the city in the process.

Maliki also in front of a number of questions about what happened after the fall of the city, as it is linked to the Iraqi army collapse of a series of disasters, including, massacre Spyker in which more than 1,700 young Iraqi was killed after being kidnapped by the terrorist organization of the military air base in Tikrit, let alone bear the responsibility of displaced more than three million people displaced by the arrival of organizing Daash to their areas, forcing them to flee the case.

Observers believe, that despite what happened from catastrophes during the mandate of the al-Maliki, the second in Iraq, but he has a kind of dominant power on the state, even after stepping down from power, Mr. Abadi and the post of prime minister, as has often been talk about the continuation of Maliki’s control over the levers of government, despite stepping down from his post.

Many military leaders and senior judges and senior government officials Abadi still loyal to the owners and they may either reject or ignore Abadi orders since he took office last August. Abadi has indicated on several occasions to officials who are working to disrupt or delay decisions, although he did not meet the naming them.

In the past week, and against the backdrop of the reforms adopted by the Prime Minister in response to the demands of the demonstrators started, Secretary General of the Council of Ministers Hamid Khalaf, one of al-Maliki Men ruled out, It is also unclear, whether Abadi discharged head of the Supreme Judicial Council, Medhat al-Mahmoud after demanding his dismissal of the protesters Fridays in years.

Officials say they refused to disclose their identities, he said Maliki’s opponents are trying to take advantage of his absence to encourage the rumors about his departure from the country, but the former prime minister returned to the country late last week.

http://www.dinarupdates.com/showthread.php?18174-Analysts-al-Maliki-at-war-again-after-being-convicted-of-the-report-of-Mosul&p=128045&viewfull=1#post128045

BGG Notes:

Maliki came back from Iran where he met with most of his most ardent Shia supporters (not all Shias support him – as before).

The Dawa party (and Maliki) “facially supports” these recent reforms called for by the Iraqi Clerics and the demonstrators (the people)… However, it’s a political tactic. He needs to look like..

“HE’S THE REFORMER”, or at least line himself up with the reforms…

Then there’s these rants blaming Erbil and Turkey for the fall of Mosul. Maliki must think no one remembers Barzani going to the press when Maliki wouldn’t listen about ISIS on the move.

There are articles out that affirm they put the SLC at Abadi’s disposal… again a weak showing of being “on the side of reforms” – not the “focus of the reforms”…

On the other hand Maliki is secretly attempting to subvert Abadi  everything he does.

It is worth noting – there are numerous OP ED’s out recently pointing out that if Maliki really wanted reforms he would have done so long ago.

Maliki is in now in FULL DAMAGE control…

The Friday before the Mosul Report was coming out – he went to Iran to gather support. This move seems to have (temporarily) worked. This caught me a little off-guard. I didn’t think he had that kind of support from Iran once they pulled their support from his bid for a 3rd term.

He did not come back until he had some assurance of some kind – though no guarantee, he must feel he has some potential for survival.

This just goes to show you. I was told some time ago he had deep support from some very unlikely sources. It appears both Sunni leadership was “on the take” as well as some level of support from the Iranian Mullahs. Though they don’t seem to support another Maliki term – they don’t appear ready to throw him overboard just yet either. There is no guarantee they won’t though.

They have even sent Gen Qassem Soleimani into Iraq south of Baghdad to orchestrate a “quelling” of the demonstrations and supposedly to secure Maliki’s safety. However, I am not convinced his ultimate safety is Soleimani’s underlying mission.

This report of Gen. Soleimani being there is limited in it’s scope (how many times/and how it is reported) – so I view this with a healthy dose of skepticism. Also – this frantic move to maintain control over Iraq may well backfire on them. It is becoming clearer and clearer they have some agenda. This is surely not lost on the Iraqi people. Overall, they are typically not happy about external influence – US or Iranian. They don’t like it. One good thing – all of this has forced the Iranians to play their hand in a more public fashion. Now they all know…

Abadi was quoted just recently as saying…

…”the prime minister does not think now in dissent nor undo the reforms, and will not seek to raise Maliki’s name from the list of defendants fall of Mosul.”…

Meaning – he won’t take Maliki’s name out of this report… it will play out.

I don’t see – with the mounting charges, how Maliki survives this barrage. Mosul, Halabja, embezzlement from the CBI, the Speicher massacre, the prison break, it goes on and on and on…

Further – my comments regarding “Maliki as gone” – are clearly “forward looking statements” and ARE IN PROGRESS. Visible progress has been made – for now, Maliki is NOT A VP and is NOT WELCOME in official GOI meetings. Party meetings are one thing. GOI is another thing entirely.

Rather than get caught up in who’s right and who’s wrong and what the details are – what about the WHY?? WHY did Abadi move now?? Was it demonstrators?? No – I doubt it very much. Maliki can think he has everyone right where he wants them – but keep in mind this whole campaign of reform was kicked off by the WB/IMF telling Iraq to get their AML (Anti-Money Laundering) and corruption under control (both issues pointed DIRECTLY AT MALIKI). They were given until Oct 1st to get an AML law put in place. It would probably help Abadi to have an Investment Law in place as well.

Thus far Abadi has responded. Judiciary is next. He needs to keep up the pressure...

Officials working in the General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers that the suspicions many corruption during the tenure of former Prime Minister’s son Ahmed Nouri al-Maliki responsible for the management of the Office of his father, pointing to the existence proof of this corruption.

The source, who declined to be identified for its proximity to senior officials at relevant reforms announced by Prime Minister Haidar Al-Abbadi: Ahmed Al-Maliki directly responsible for contracts and procurements of the green zone and sell property, indicating that the suspicions connected with money-laundering deal with Lebanese banks.

He added: there are many files before the eyes of all prove Abadi involvement Brian large financial corruption issues, noting that the Prime Minister ordered the arrest of Ahmed Al-Maliki upon returning from his residence in Finland.

Legality and Constitutionality Questions in Iraq’s Reform Push

Posted by Reidar Visser

A few quick points regarding the sudden reform push by Iraq prime minister Haydar al-Abadi, representing the first significant constitutional developments during a term so far characterized above all by the war against ISIS.

-Proper legal procedure was not followed when the vice presidents were voted out of office by parliament on 11 August: According to the law on presidential deputies, the initiative for relieving them of duty should have gone through the president, not the prime minister.

-In accordance with the law on presidential deputies, the Iraqi parliament is in any case under a legal obligation to elect a new presidential deputy within 15 days from the post became vacant.

-The Iraqi vice presidential position is a position stipulated and hence protected by the constitution. A cabinet that chooses to ignore this could in theory also send parliament on an indeterminate vacation. Whereas it was a good decision to get rid of two superfluous VP posts that were created only to care for the egos of certain bloc leaders, to abolish the VP position altogether seems distinctly unconstitutional.

-Also exactly like in July 2011, no proper constitutional procedure was followed during the downsizing of the cabinet from 33 to 22 ministries. As per the Iraqi constitution, each of the ministers relieved of duty should have been subjected to an individual vote (and discussion) in parliament. Again, the decision in itself is laudable but the procedure that was followed is not.

-An interesting aspect of the recent reform measures concern the attack on ethno-sectarian and party quota-sharing arrangements (muhasasa). Such attacks have been part and parcel of political correct rhetoric in Iraq ever since the emergence of new democratic institutions, but only under Abadi’s recent reforms has it been taken seriously – to the point where Kurds, in particular, are worried that it will mean majoritarianism and informal Shia dominance in practice. It should be stressed that this aspect of the reform IS constitutional. Ethno-sectarian proportional representation is only an explicit constitutional requirement as far as the armed forces, the parliament, and a one-off, now defunct, committee for reviewing the constitution are concerned. It has nonetheless become a de facto organising principle at almost every level of Iraqi government.

-The Iraqi government should be given credit for allowing public protest and persevering with reform, even as it faces an existential external threat in the shape of ISIS. The Kurdish regional government could in this case learn something from Baghdad: External threats are in themselves not an argument for setting democracy to one side. However, if the Iraqi government opts to cheat on legal procedure, its reforms are likely to be stillborn. Not least with respect to the importance of getting the judiciary on board for reform – it is in itself highly in need of an overhaul – it would be wise to stick to instruments and arrangements that are clearly within the constitutional and legal limits.

Al Maliki steps into Al Hashemi’s shoes

Iraqi Prime Minister Al Abadi still has a long way to go, but he is on the right track

It is a curious twist of irony that the man who pursued the now-fugitive former Iraqi vice-president Tariq Al Hashemi may suffer a similar fate. Iraq’s former premier, and former vice-president Nouri Al Maliki is currently in Iran, where some have suggested that he may never come back from as Baghdad seeks to investigate his role in the fall of Mosul to Daesh (the self-proclaimed Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) last year. The move was a milestone for the terror group that allowed it to gain much support among radicals around the globe, as well as territory in Iraq and Syria.

Al Maliki may soon become the very fugitive that he turned Al Hashemi into. Al Hashemi faces an arrest warrant in Iraq for terrorist acts from December 2011, right after US forces withdrew. He denounced the arrest warrant as a politically motivated conspiracy. Al Maliki has similarly dismissed the investigations into his conduct as a conspiracy cooked in Ankara and Arbil, capital of the autonomous Kurdistan Regional Government in northern Iraq. Incidentally, those are the two cities that hosted Al Hashemi when he fled Baghdad.

While the implication of Al Maliki shows a changing Iraq that is committed to hold officials to account no matter how prominent they are, it may also show a change of heart among Baghdad’s more hawkish backers within its borders and beyond. Al Maliki had long been seen as Iran’s man in Baghdad, but few in Iraq believe that his removal would have been possible without an Iranian nod.

Credit should be given where it is due. While Prime Minister Haidar Al Abadi has a long way to go to repair the damage done by his predecessor, he certainly is on the right track. A next step to build the confidence of Iraq’s public and its neighbours will be to end the marginalisation of those communities that complain of discrimination, bolster a national identity beyond narrow sectarian lines and focus on fighting the real enemy of all of Iraq’s people: Daesh.

This is understandably an ambitious job, but if Al Abadi is serious about it then he will have the support of Iraq’s people, and crucially, its neighbours.

Al Abadi’s long-awaited national coup

His bold measures changed the pessimistic mood about the inability of Iraqis to overcome their sectarian divisions

Over the past few weeks, Iraq has been witnessing a growing protest movement in the largely Shiite-populated parts of the country. It all started in the southern city of Basra, when youth-led sit-ins were held to protest poor local services and rampant corruption precipitated the intervention of Iraqi security forces, leading to the death of a 19-year-old man. The protest movement spread throughout the southern part of the country afterwards. It did not reach Baghdad until late July, when railway workers protested delayed salaries, leading to the closure of several major roads.

In an attempt to please the protesters and meet their demands, Prime Minster Haidar Al Abadi initiated a far-reaching reform agenda through which he sacked all three vice-presidents as well as his deputies. All had previously served to fill sectarian quotas. The most prominent amongst those who lost their positions was vice-president and former prime minister Nouri Al Maliki. An independent judicial commission to investigate major corruption charges has been formed, with Al Maliki being one of the likely defendants.

In fact, sharp divisions have, in recent years, emerged within the Shiite political bloc. It surfaced clearly during the last two legislative elections when Shiite political parties failed to form a unified electoral bloc to contest the elections. Many Shiite political groups also opposed Al Maliki’s attempt to stay in power for another term in 2010. In 2014, several Shiite political parties, backed by Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani, Iraq’s most influential Shiite cleric, succeeded in co-ordinating with Sunni and Kurdish fellows in deposing Al Maliki and replacing him with Al Abadi.

The aforementioned division, in fact, represents fierce struggle over the representation of the Shiite community in Iraq between two political currents and worldviews. One of these currents pays allegiance to Iran, while the other sees itself as an Iraq Arab first and foremost. Politically, the first group centres around Al Maliki. The emergence of Daesh (the self-proclaimed Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) helped the pro-Iran Shiite parties to join forces and establish a formidable militia called the ”Popular Mobilisation”. This militia was founded by Hadi Al Amiri, leader of the pro-Iran Badr Organisation. The other political Shiite current centres around Al Abadi. It is supported by “The Supreme Iraqi Islamic Council” and the Sadri movement and backed by Shiite clerical authorities in Najaf.

In the wake of the fall of Mosul to Daesh, the Al Maliki group attempted to appropriate the formation of the Popular Mobilisation Militia, presenting itself as the leading Shiite force in the confrontation with Daesh. At a time when Daesh seemed to pose genuine threat to the Shiite community, Al Abadi’s camp found itself vying with a demagogic opponent for the right to represent Shiite political aspirations.

Hence, Once the protest movement broke out in Basra, Al Maliki tried to capitalise on it, in what appeared to be an attempt to overthrow Al Abadi. Pro-Al Maliki media outlets urged sympathisers to go out into the streets and protest against the government. It was only then that Al Abadi decided to take the initiative and turn the table against Al Maliki. The green light came in the form of a sermon delivered on August 7 by a representative of Al Sistani, who called on Al Abadi to confront corruption “with an iron fist”.

Before his decisions were made public on August 9, Al Abadi had discussed his reform measures with leaders of the Supreme Council, the Sadri movement and some Dawa Party leaders close to him. Ultimately, it was ratified by the Council of Ministers on the same day, passing onwards to the House of Representatives as a bill and it was ratified by the parliament on August 11.

Al Abadi’s move came at a crucial moment, as the international community and the anti-Daesh international coalition were becoming increasingly impatient with what was described as “Al Abadi’s weakness” and his inability — or unwillingness — to confront his Shiite opponents, preferring instead to please all sides. As a result of this foot-dragging, Daesh’s control of large swathes of territories it seized during the summer of 2014 continued unchallenged.

Al Abadi’s bold measures changed the pessimistic mood about the inability of Iraqis to overcome their sectarian divisions and move towards building a national consensus in which all Iraqis contribute to the building of their homeland. Since Al Abadi has finally decided to implement his long-awaited reform agenda, he must proceed with it to the very end with all the measures needed to promote a new vision of all-inclusive national good governance.

BGG – IMHO – there is way, way, WAY too much corruption for Maliki to not face some kind of a direct criminal action – this bit about stealing directly from the CBI is very damaging – they wouldn’t be talking about it publicly unless they had the “goods”…the next few days could be very exciting.

Al Abadi’s long-awaited national coup

Al Maliki steps into Al Hashemi’s shoes

Iraqi Prime Minister Al Abadi still has a long way to go, but he is on the right track

It is a curious twist of irony that the man who pursued the now-fugitive former Iraqi vice-president Tariq Al Hashemi may suffer a similar fate. Iraq’s former premier, and former vice-president Nouri Al Maliki is currently in Iran, where some have suggested that he may never come back from as Baghdad seeks to investigate his role in the fall of Mosul to Daesh (the self-proclaimed Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) last year. The move was a milestone for the terror group that allowed it to gain much support among radicals around the globe, as well as territory in Iraq and Syria.

Al Maliki may soon become the very fugitive that he turned Al Hashemi into. Al Hashemi faces an arrest warrant in Iraq for terrorist acts from December 2011, right after US forces withdrew. He denounced the arrest warrant as a politically motivated conspiracy. Al Maliki has similarly dismissed the investigations into his conduct as a conspiracy cooked in Ankara and Arbil, capital of the autonomous Kurdistan Regional Government in northern Iraq. Incidentally, those are the two cities that hosted Al Hashemi when he fled Baghdad.

While the implication of Al Maliki shows a changing Iraq that is committed to hold officials to account no matter how prominent they are, it may also show a change of heart among Baghdad’s more hawkish backers within its borders and beyond. Al Maliki had long been seen as Iran’s man in Baghdad, but few in Iraq believe that his removal would have been possible without an Iranian nod.

Credit should be given where it is due. While Prime Minister Haidar Al Abadi has a long way to go to repair the damage done by his predecessor, he certainly is on the right track. A next step to build the confidence of Iraq’s public and its neighbours will be to end the marginalisation of those communities that complain of discrimination, bolster a national identity beyond narrow sectarian lines and focus on fighting the real enemy of all of Iraq’s people: Daesh.

This is understandably an ambitious job, but if Al Abadi is serious about it then he will have the support of Iraq’s people, and crucially, its neighbours.

[…will those bonds be in Dinar…or USD? the international ones?]  The article…reports in IQD.  [is redenominate the same thing as a LOP?]  No…Understanding this, …a LOP would be going in the opposite direction.  Try to understand when a country LOP it is under huge inflation and the currency is losing value daily. Iraq has very little inflation and even the biggest critic will admit that the value of the IQD is much greater than 1166.

Iraq probe finds Maliki, others responsible for Mosul fall

AFP By Ammar Karim

Nuri al-Maliki was Prime Minister of Iraq from 2006 to 2014Baghdad (AFP) – An Iraqi parliamentary investigation found ex-premier Nuri al-Maliki and 35 others responsible for jihadists overrunning second city Mosul, in a report being sent for possible legal action, lawmakers said Sunday.

While various top commanders and political leaders have long been viewed as responsible for the Islamic State jihadist group’s disastrous takeover of the city, the report is the first time they have been named officially.

Investigative committee member MP Abdulrahim al-Shammari said that Maliki, who was prime minister from 2006 until last year, was among those named, as did another member who declined to be identified.

The inclusion of Maliki’s name was a source of controversy on the committee, with his Dawa party pushing for it to be omitted.

The report detailing findings of the investigation, which has yet to be publicly released, has been presented to parliament speaker Salim al-Juburi, who said it will be sent to the prosecutor general for legal action.

“No one is above the law and the questioning of the people, and the judiciary will punish those” responsible, Juburi said in a statement.

IS launched a devastating offensive on June 9 last year, overrunning Mosul the next day and then sweeping through large areas north and west of Baghdad.

Multiple Iraqi divisions collapsed during the initial assault in the north, in some cases abandoning weapons and other equipment the jihadists then used to further their drive.

Maliki is widely viewed as having exacerbated sectarian tensions between the country’s Shiite majority and the Sunni Arab minority.

– Possible Ramadi prosecutions –

Widespread discontent among Sunni Arabs, who say they were marginalised and targeted by Maliki’s government, played a major role in worsening the security situation in Iraq, culminating in the disastrous jihadist offensive.

He also appointed commanders based on personal loyalty rather than competence, and was commander-in-chief of the armed forces during two years in which the Iraqi military did not carry out necessary training, leading to a decline in skills.

Earlier on Sunday, Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi’s office announced that he had cleared the way for the military prosecution of senior commanders responsible for a more recent military disaster in Ramadi, a city west of Baghdad.

IS seized Ramadi in May, after government forces had held out against militants there for more than a year.

Abadi approved “decisions of the investigative commission on the withdrawal of the Anbar Operations Command and units attached to it from the city of Ramadi”, his office said in a statement.

Those include “referring a number of the leaders to the military judiciary for leaving their positions without orders and contrary to instructions (and) despite the issuance of a number of orders not to withdraw”, it said.

Abadi previously said that forces in Ramadi “had to resist, and if they had resisted, we would not have lost Ramadi”.

And a senior British military officer, Brigadier Christopher Ghika, said the city “was lost because the Iraqi commander in Ramadi elected to withdraw”.

“In other words, if he had elected to stay, he would still be there today,” Ghika said.

Iraq probe finds Maliki, others responsible for Mosul fall

AFP By Ammar Karim

Nuri al-Maliki was Prime Minister of Iraq from 2006 to 2014Baghdad (AFP) – An Iraqi parliamentary investigation found ex-premier Nuri al-Maliki and 35 others responsible for jihadists overrunning second city Mosul, in a report being sent for possible legal action, lawmakers said Sunday.

While various top commanders and political leaders have long been viewed as responsible for the Islamic State jihadist group’s disastrous takeover of the city, the report is the first time they have been named officially.

Investigative committee member MP Abdulrahim al-Shammari said that Maliki, who was prime minister from 2006 until last year, was among those named, as did another member who declined to be identified.

The inclusion of Maliki’s name was a source of controversy on the committee, with his Dawa party pushing for it to be omitted.

The report detailing findings of the investigation, which has yet to be publicly released, has been presented to parliament speaker Salim al-Juburi, who said it will be sent to the prosecutor general for legal action.

“No one is above the law and the questioning of the people, and the judiciary will punish those” responsible, Juburi said in a statement.

IS launched a devastating offensive on June 9 last year, overrunning Mosul the next day and then sweeping through large areas north and west of Baghdad.

Multiple Iraqi divisions collapsed during the initial assault in the north, in some cases abandoning weapons and other equipment the jihadists then used to further their drive.

Maliki is widely viewed as having exacerbated sectarian tensions between the country’s Shiite majority and the Sunni Arab minority.

– Possible Ramadi prosecutions –

Widespread discontent among Sunni Arabs, who say they were marginalised and targeted by Maliki’s government, played a major role in worsening the security situation in Iraq, culminating in the disastrous jihadist offensive.

He also appointed commanders based on personal loyalty rather than competence, and was commander-in-chief of the armed forces during two years in which the Iraqi military did not carry out necessary training, leading to a decline in skills.

Earlier on Sunday, Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi’s office announced that he had cleared the way for the military prosecution of senior commanders responsible for a more recent military disaster in Ramadi, a city west of Baghdad.

IS seized Ramadi in May, after government forces had held out against militants there for more than a year.

Abadi approved “decisions of the investigative commission on the withdrawal of the Anbar Operations Command and units attached to it from the city of Ramadi”, his office said in a statement.

Those include “referring a number of the leaders to the military judiciary for leaving their positions without orders and contrary to instructions (and) despite the issuance of a number of orders not to withdraw”, it said.

Abadi previously said that forces in Ramadi “had to resist, and if they had resisted, we would not have lost Ramadi”.

And a senior British military officer, Brigadier Christopher Ghika, said the city “was lost because the Iraqi commander in Ramadi elected to withdraw”.

“In other words, if he had elected to stay, he would still be there today,” Ghika said.

BGG – [How long do you think it will take to remove Alak?]  that is the last piece of the puzzle – if you are asking me – doesn’t sound like long…there was also a SCATHING PIECE about Alak being a child and not at all qualified to be the Gov of the CBI.  Quite honestly – the happenings in Iraq are breathtaking…there is a lot going on all at once.  [The next week will be interesting to see how CBI plays out.]  the next week should be very interesting indeed.
