    Iraqi spring is imminent!!
    Hassanein Fatlawi
    Saturday, July 27, 2013

    (10) years have passed since the fall of the tyrant Saddam and it still feels like we’re still in 2003, so what's new?, What change have we seen and achievements have been realized compared the time elapsed?, I'll leave that answer to the Iraqi citizens exclusively because they are like field experiments in successive stages, through which they have tasted the scourge of war and injustice at the hands of the rulers.

    Colonial occupier and dictator exploiter are the same side of a coin! One goal and ambition that, converges toward dictatorship and we all consider him an occupier like Saddam and his regime utilized dictatorship that ravaged Iraq setting it back 100 years, He took advantage of his influence, authoritarianism and his Entourage in Iraq and the rest of the people in Iraq lived in years of embargos and ignorance.

    The Iraqi people started out patient with the situation but things continue to remain under policies of marginalization and warnings of a new dictatorship that will not be accepted by the Iraqis and will generate a SPRING in Iraq again, but!!, contrary military coups and revolutions; Iraqis have expressed their anger through the ballot box that has insured Maliki’s ouster, constitutionally, there is no way that the citizens of Iraq will allow the country to go back to square one and phase out rules the constitution that was voted on by Iraqis who shed blood during the past period.

    That the results of the Provincial council elections expressed a clear and explicit messaged to the leadership as to the will of the people, Maliki’s State Law took the largest lashing indicating evidence that Iraqi is discontent and rejects the political arrogance pursued by al-Maliki.

    The Prime Minister give his citizens many options, he has to leave marginalizing and excluding his partners, abide to a commitment to the Constitution and apply it literally, move away from politicizing in order to stay in power. The writing on the wall made clear to the Iraqis through false promises based on letters of credit day after day. The situation for the Iraqi citizen is getting worse as levels are down as it pertains to income, rampant unemployment and virtually non-existent services and projects, the security situation is still deteriorating and is subject regarding security plans are failing despite the billions of DOLLARS that are spent annually on the Iraqi Army and Police without any result.

    O Prime Minister, where are you with all of this?, Iraqna needs to real reform after the smell of corruption has soured in all the State institutions we must have leaders on the basis of efficiency not on the basis of nepotism as the most important step. We need to have a strong base of security with fair leadership based in national building towards erecting a modern State.

    Shahristani denies misleading Maliki and holds the Ministry of Electricity responsibility for failure
    28-07-2013 | (صوت العراق) - 28-07-2013 | (Voice of Iraq)
    بغداد: حمزة مصطفى Baghdad: Hamza Mustafa
    في وقت اعتبرت فيه وزارة الكهرباء أن «الخيارات المتاحة أمامها ضيقة جدا» لتحسين واقع الكهرباء في البلاد رغم إنفاق عشرات المليارات من الدولارات منذ عام 2004 وحتى اليوم على هذا الملف، فإن نائب رئيس الوزراء لشؤون الطاقة حسين الشهرستاني نفى أن يكون قد ضلل رئيس الوزراء نوري المالكي بإعطائه معلومات غير صحيحة حول واقع الكهرباء بمن في ذلك ساعات التجهيز. At a time considered by the Ministry of Electricity that «the options available to them is very narrow» to improve the reality of the country's electricity, despite spending tens of billions of dollars since 2004, and even today on this file, the Deputy Prime Minister for Energy Affairs Hussain al-Shahristani denied that it has misled the Prime Minister Nuri al- Maliki by giving incorrect information about the reality of electricity including hours of processing. يأتي ذلك في وقت فتح فيه المالكي ولأول مرة النار على حلفائه داخل التحالف الوطني الشيعي وفي المقدمة منهم التيار الصدري بزعامة مقتدى الصدر والمجلس الأعلى الإسلامي بزعامة عمار الحكيم، فضلا عن نوابه داخل مجلس الوزراء، وبالذات الشهرستاني الذي يقود كتلة «مستقلون» داخل ائتلاف دولة القانون الذي يتزعمه المالكي. This comes at a time of opening the al-Maliki for the first time fire on allies within the National Alliance Shiite and submitted them to the Sadrist movement led by Muqtada al-Sadr and the Islamic Supreme Council headed by Ammar al-Hakim, as well as deputies inside the cabinet, and in particular al-Shahristani, who leads the bloc «independent» within the coalition of state law which is headed by al-Maliki.
    وكان الشهرستاني قد أعلن بعد يومين من هجوم المالكي أنه اعترض على شراء توربينات غازية لبناء محطات توليد جديدة لعدم توفر الغاز الجاف لعملها. Shahristani had announced two days after the attack, al-Maliki that he objected to the purchase of gas turbines for the construction of new generating stations to the lack of dry gas to work. وقال الشهرستاني في بيان له حصلت «الشرق الأوسط» على نسخة منه، إن ««قرار وزارة الكهرباء شراء توربينات غازية لبناء محطات توليد جديدة اعترضت عليه حين كنت وزيرا للنفط لعدم توفر الغاز الجاف لعملها»، مؤكدا أن «مجلس الوزراء وافق على شرائها بناء على التزام وزارة الكهرباء بأن هذه المحطات ستعمل على أي وقود متوفر، وخصوصا النفط الأسود، وتم استيراد التوربينات وبقيت في مخازن الوزارة». Shahristani said in a statement received «Middle East», a copy of it, that «« decision of the Ministry of Electricity buy gas turbines for the construction of new generating stations objected to it when I was minister of oil to the lack of dry gas to work », adding that« the Council of Ministers approved the purchase based on the commitment of the Ministry of Electricity that these stations will work on any available fuel, especially black oil, were imported turbines and stayed in the ministry stores.

    من جهتها، اعتبرت وزارة الكهرباء أنها «تسعى من أجل رفع القدرة الإنتاجية وأنها حصلت على دعم لا محدود من قبل رئيس الوزراء نوري المالكي من أجل تنفيذ المشاريع الخاصة بالطاقة». For its part, the Ministry of Electricity considered it «seeks to raise the productive capacity and they got the support is not limited by Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki for the implementation of energy projects. وقال المتحدث الرسمي باسم الوزارة مصعب المدرس في تصريح لـ«الشرق الأوسط» إن «الإنتاج الحالي للطاقة الكهربائية في العراق يبلغ عشرة آلاف وخمسمائة ميغاواط، وذلك بزيادة نحو سبعة آلاف ميغاواط عما كان عليه الوضع عام 2003». He said the ministry spokesman Musab al-teacher told Asharq Al-Awsat that the current production of electric power in Iraq is ten thousand five hundred megawatts, an increase of about seven thousand megawatts situation than it was in 2003. وأضاف أن «الشركات التي تتعاقد معها وزارة الكهرباء تختلف في العادة عن الشركات التي تتعاقد معها أي وزارة أخرى لكون عمل هذه الشركات معقدا وبالتالي لا بد أن تكون رصينة وكفؤة، وقد أبرمنا عقودا مع شركتي (جنرال إلكتريك) و(سمينز) لإنشاء محطات حرارية وغيرها وهي عقود مهمة، وقد دخل قسم منها الخدمة»، مشيرا إلى أن «قضية الكهرباء سلسلة مترابطة مع أكثر من جهة ووزارة بمن في ذلك الجانب الأمني لأننا كثيرا ما نعاني عدم إقدام الشركات على إرسال منتسبيها إلى العراق بسبب تحديات الوضع الأمني»، كاشفا عن أن «أكبر محطة حرارية في العراق وهي محطة المسيب خرجت منها الآن نحو 1200 ميغاواط بسبب عدم وجود مشغلين حقيقيين لها لأن الكفاءات العراقية غير فاعلة وبعضها لا يمتلك الحرص الكافي على أداء الواجب، مؤكدا إعادة 800 ميغاواط الآن بعد جهود حثيثة لتحسين واقع الكهرباء في فصل الصيف الحار. He added that «companies contracted by the Ministry of Electricity differ in habit for companies contracted by any other ministry to the fact that the work of these companies is complex and therefore does not have to be sober and efficient, and we have concluded contracts with companies (GE) and (Sameenz) to create a Fossil fuel power stations and other They decades task, has entered the department, including service », pointing out that« the issue of electricity a series interconnected with more than one point and the Ministry including the security aspect, because we often suffer not ventured companies to send their members to Iraq due to the challenges of the security situation », revealing that «largest thermal plants in Iraq, a station Musayyib out of them now about 1,200 MW due to lack of operators real her because Iraqi competencies ineffective and some are not owned careful enough on the performance of duty, stressing re 800 MW now, after unremitting efforts to improve the reality of power in the hot summer .

    وردا على سؤال بشأن قصة الوحدات الغازية التي شابتها هذه المرة «شبهات غباء» وليس فسادا فقط طبقا لما أعلنه المالكي قال المدرس، إن «الأمر لم يكن كذلك وإنما عملية الاستيراد تمت على أساس أن هذه المحطات تعمل بأربعة أنواع من الوقود وإن كل نوع من هذه الأنواع يمكن أن يقلل من طاقتها الإنتاجية حاليا بنسبة تتراوح بين 20 و40%، لكن ما دفعنا إلى استيرادها لكون العراق بلدا منتجا للغاز بكميات هائلة وإنه يمكن بعد 3 أو 4 سنوات بعد إنتاج الغاز إعادتها إلى العمل به لأنها قابلة للتحوير». In response to a question about the story of gas units, which was marred by this time «suspicions of stupidity» and not corrupt only according to the announcement Maliki said the teacher, said that «was not the case, but the import process has on the basis that these stations operate four types of fuel and that each of these species can reduce the production capacity is currently at between 20 and 40%, but what we paid to be imported to the fact that Iraq producing countries for gas in huge quantities and it can be after 3 or 4 years after gas production returned to work it because they are impressionable ». وأوضح المدرس أن «هناك مشكلات أساسية نعانيها مثل أننا ليس لدينا المياه الكافية لبناء محطات حرارية وذلك بسبب شح المياه والمشاريع التركية والسورية على نهري دجلة والفرات، وبالتالي فإن مستقبل المحطات الحرارية غير مضمون»، لافتا إلى أن «ما لدينا من محطات حرارية حاليا مهددة بالتوقف في غضون سنتين أو ثلاث إذا ما استمرت أزمة المياه على حالها». The teacher that «there are fundamental problems نعانيها like we do not have enough water for building heating plants due to water scarcity and projects Turkish and Syrian on the Tigris and Euphrates, and therefore the future of thermal power plants is not guaranteed», pointing out that «what we have Fossil fuel power stations now threatened to stop Within two or three years if it continues the same water crisis ». وأكد المدرس أن «العراق يشتري حاليا من إيران ستة ملايين ونصف المليون لتر كازاويل لأنه ليس لدى وزارة النفط إنتاج كازاويل وهذه كلها معاناة لا أحد يعرف بها». The teacher stressed that «Iraq is currently buys from Iran six and a half million liters Kazoel for it does not have the oil ministry production Kazoel and these are all suffering no one knows them. وكشف عن أن «من بين الخطط المستقبلية للوزارة هي بناء محطات تعمل بالطاقة الشمسية ولكن أسعارها مكلفة جدا ولكنها مهمة للمستقبل وسوف تكون البداية بـ50 ميغاواط إلى 400 ميغاواط». He revealed that «among the future plans of the ministry is to build a solar-powered stations, but their prices very expensive but important for the future and will be starting with 50 MW to 400 MW. من جهته، اعتبر عضو البرلمان العراقي عن المجلس الأعلى الإسلامي وعضو لجنة النفط والطاقة فرات الشرع في تصريح لـ«الشرق الأوسط» أن «مما يؤسف له أننا وصلنا إلى مرحلة أن المسؤول الصغير يعمل على خداع المسؤول الكبير وأن الكبير يلقي باللائمة على من هو أصغر منه مثلما حصل للسيد المالكي حين حمل الشهرستاني المسؤولية التي حملها بدوره لوزير الكهرباء»، مشيرا إلى أن «المحصلة أنهم جميعا يتحملون المسؤولية وأن هناك خللا لا بد أن يعترفوا به قبل فوات الأوان». For his part, was considered a member of the Iraqi parliament for the Islamic Supreme Council and a member of the Commission on oil and energy Furat al-Shara told «Middle East» that «Unfortunately, we have reached a stage that the official small works to deceive a senior official and the large cast blame on who is younger than him as happened to Mr. al-Maliki when al-Shahristani, took responsibility carried by the turn of the Minister of Electricity », pointing out that« the outcome they all bear responsibility and that there is something wrong do not need to admit it before it's too late. وأضاف الشرع أن «أي تبرير لم يعد مقبولا وأن ما شاهدناه من تبادل اتهامات أكد عدم وجود متابعة وأن هناك عملية تضليل وخداع وهو أمر لم يعد ممكنا السكوت عنه، خصوصا إذا عرفنا أن المبلغ الذي أنفقناه على الكهرباء يبلغ 37 مليار دولار وهو مبلغ يبني بلدا بكامله وليس كهرباءه فقط». He said al-Shara that «any justification is no longer acceptable and that what we have seen from the exchange of accusations confirmed the lack of follow-up and that there is a process to mislead and deceive, which is no longer possible to remain silent about it, especially if we know that the amount أنفقناه on electricity of $ 37 billion, an amount that builds the country as a whole and not only Kahrabah ».

    Iraqi Politicians Need to Reconnect With Society



    Electoral campaigns in Iraq — such as the ones in 2005 and 2010 — refer to the days right before the elections, during which pictures of candidates are hung in public places and advertisements on television promote candidates, who communicate with tribes and clerics to urge them to cast their vote in their favor.
    About This Article
    Summary :
    Iraqi politicians local election campaigns are out of touch with the needs of the people.
    Original Title:
    Iraq: Amputated Readings of Electoral Campaigns
    Author: Mustafa al-Kadhimi
    Posted on: July 24 2013
    Translated by: Sahar Ghoussoub and Joelle El-Khoury
    Categories : Originals Iraq

    The truth is that the concept of an "electoral campaign" has expanded across the world, and has become an integral part of political practice — whether the elections are in the offing or not.

    On this basis, it is true to say that political practice serves in one aspect as an electoral campaign, through which politicians seek to assess the views of the street beforehand, work on changing negative attitudes and create deep positive feelings.

    However, this is not the case in Iraq. That is why we find a large gap between electoral slogans and political practice in Iraq.

    The Iraqi governorate elections that took place on April 20 were an occasion to test the changes in the Iraqi political mentality, before testing the voters’ inclinations.

    Iraqi politicians customized electoral campaigns and established that the election period is completely detached from actual political action. Thus, the three months that preceded the polling process were rife with activities, conferences and statements. Candidates visited remote villages, dealing with clans and clergy, and distributed financial aid to the poor. However, all this ended after the election results were announced.

    The winner was preoccupied with forming the new local governments — and his position in it — and the loser dragged himself out of sight, awaiting new opportunities.

    It is exactly here where the imbalance in the Iraqi political circle — which built a solid barrier between political action and social work — has emerged.
    National elections will take place in Iraq some time in 2014. Starting already, electoral motives in escalatory statements and positions here and there can be felt.

    The politicians have learned that playing sectarian and nationalist chords during election periods can guarantee that they continue to get the votes.

    Yet, this interpretation is incomplete and stereotyped. It neglects that the political and electoral sense of the Iraqi street is evolving and is inconsistent, and to guarantee its votes, the street will need more than sectarian and nationalist slogans.

    In the local elections, talk of a 50-70% boycott of the voting process was a real wake-up call. The politicians should have felt and handled the reasons for this boycott, so that it does not turn into a growing phenomenon challenging the legitimacy of the whole democratic system.

    Today — less than eight months before the general elections are to be held — politicians should take to the street, share the street’s ideas, feel the suffering of the population and initiate launching social campaigns that prove the candidates are rooted in their communities.

    Simply relying on pictures and slogans launched a few days prior to the elections does not show that Iraq is a serious political society. Yet, it repeatedly demonstrates that Iraq is controlled by the experiments of amateurs who don't possess the keys to the future.

    Mustafa al-Kadhimi is an Iraqi writer specializing in defense of democracy. He has extensive experience in documenting testimony and archiving documentaries associated with repressive practices.
