It would pass a law (the crowd PDF), which Parliament prepares for a vote soon, reducing the number of fighters to only 50 thousand, including 15 thousand Sunni fighters.

Requires coalition forces included tribal fighters, along with the new law, which seems to be came an acceptable alternative to the law (the National Guard), which the Sunni parties failed to pass despite its inclusion in a deal to form a government Abadi late 2014. But this condition may not seem possible, as the figures show on earth to the presence of 150 thousand fighters in the ranks of the crowd now. And included the 2017 fiscal budget allocations to only 110 fighters, it would mean sufficiency demobilization of 40 thousand element at the moment.

The set of the security committee of parliamentary history of 26th of this month as the deadline for a vote on the law of the crowd.

The parties to the National Alliance, has managed to insert a draft law on the parliamentary agenda, just hours after the General Assembly meeting of the National Alliance, which discussed the law and stressed the need for approval as soon as possible.

Under the law, which is alone (range) published earlier, the crowd is constituted enjoys moral personality and part of the Iraqi armed forces and associated general commander of the armed forces, as stipulated in the inclusion of employees of the formation of this law, starting from June 13 2014 annexation law, drafted the leaked 0.4 materials only, believed to be displayed to the debate within parliament will double the number given the size of the differences around.

The proportion of ingredients

Confirms MP Imad Youkhana, a member of the parliamentary security committee, the introduction of new details on the law, bringing the number of its provisions to 9.
He said Youkhana, told the (range) yesterday, "The additions included" taking into account the balance, and that the deal force treatment of the army and police, and that includes the martyrs same privileges other forces allocations. "The Prime Minister's Office has denied that, recently, the existence of a special bill crowd popular or discussed in the Council of Ministers. He stressed that what was presented in the parliament, "just a proposal."

Issued Adjutant General Office is Dioanaa, last July, includes restructuring the popular crowd to become similar to the power of anti-terrorism device forces, headed by the commander and deputy commander, is composed of 20 brigades, in addition to retaining some districts.

In this context, MP Jassem al-Bayati, a member of the Dawa Party, says that "the government was surprised by the willingness of Parliament in Diwani turn it into law."
He denied al-Bayati, through contact with the (range) yesterday, the possibility that the government challenged the law, adding that "Parliament will keep a percentage that came in the budget of 2017 which identified several crowd 110 thousand fighters."

And reveals a member of the Dawa Party, a block from the discussions held over the past few days, within the National Alliance on census crowd forces, noting that "some considered this number is relatively large, especially after that liberated the country from Daesh."

Reveals al-Bayati, a claim some Shiite parties cut census crowd between 20-30 thousand, but it will probably be the final number of forces after Daesh by 50 thousand fighters phase, 70% of it will be one of the Shiites share and 30% for the year, according to the size of the blocks within the government. And it will be forwarded number that will be indispensable to retire, or to be returned to their businesses and jobs, according to the MP.

But the body of the popular crowd anxious not to demobilized fighters get the pension rights.

It is noteworthy MP Ahmad al-Asadi, a spokesman for the Authority in the previous press statements, that the "number of the popular crowd fighters of 150,000 fighters, and approved a budget of 110 thousand so when acknowledges the law raises this issue, and that other fighters would be outside the popular crowd officially, but Aihalon to retire ".

According to some lawmakers, the proposed law the crowd came as a result of the rounds made by the leaders of the popular crowd in recent weeks on the political and religious leaders, Kaamar-wise, Nuri al-Maliki and Muqtada al-Sadr, to talk about the future of the crowd fighters.

Resolve differences

In contrast differences over the law it appears, in the distribution ratios of the political parties, and taking into account the sectarian balance. MP says Imad Youkhana that "minorities must participate in the popular crowd, Christians, Turkmen and clasped Aesidein."

He adds Youkhana saying that "some of the blocks you want to guarantee the observance of balance but not enough to rely on Article 9 of the Constitution, which has been overrun by several times." Stressing the need to "rely on the ratio of the population and not on the ingredients, because it Stdechlna in big trouble."

Confirms Article (9 / I / A) of the Constitution states: "The Iraqi armed forces and security services will be composed of the components of the Iraqi people, taking into account their balance and representation without discrimination or exclusion, and are subject to the control of the civilian authority, shall defend Iraq, as a tool to oppress the Iraqi people and, and does not interfere in political affairs, and the role in the transfer of power. "

Said Ahmed al-Asadi, a spokesman for the Authority crowd, "The distribution of rates and numbers of the popular crowd of rejected components is, and what has been entered in the law is the distribution ratios as acknowledged by the Constitution which, according to ratio of the population of the provinces, but there will be a certain number of each component otherwise it It would be a dangerous precedent and can not for the crowd that found her. "

But the triumph of the MP-Jubouri, a member of coalition forces, stresses that "relying on the ratio of the population of the provinces have not been decided yet." And describes the al-Jubouri, told the (range) yesterday, said that the terms of its mass, "summed up the annexation of tribal fighters into the popular crowd, who may also includes forces them what was known Basahoat."

The dispute does not end at this point, as MP Jassem al-Bayati said, "Some Sunnis say they want to keep the crowd in the provinces", which is raising fears the Shiite parties of turning those forces to a "political tool" However, the Conservatives, especially in hot cities.

It is expected MP from the Dawa Party, he said "the crowd be independent and connected to a device that the government, and the level is greater than the police, less than the army and placed in camps outside the cities." And remember these differences and some of the vocabulary contained in the Act (the popular crowd), especially on the level of forces, as had been raised earlier about the (National Guard Code). Says MP triumph Jubouri that "the law of the crowd is a substitute for the Guard, but an acceptable format for all after he failed in the final pass in the House of Representatives."
