BGG – Article: “ Al-Khalidi calls Saleh to assign Allawi to form a government and refuse to give in and dictate” Quote: “Member of Parliament Muhammad Al-Khalidi called on President of the Republic Barham Salih to win the masses and not to bow to pressure and dictates by assigning Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi to form a government and leaving the final choice to the people’s representatives.” I’m not sure I agree with the premise here. Kahlidi is basically telling Saleh to assign Allawi to be the PM and let the Parliament vote yea or nay on his government… but we shall see. I have an idea Saleh wants to find a candidate the protesters can get behind.
