Iraqi news reports claimed that Ban Ki-moon, United Nations (Secretary General), insisted Iraqi politicians to come up with a dialogue in his statement to the UN Iraqi mission. The dialogue, moreover, should pay respect to the Dsturalarac for the resolution of current issues on Iraq. Current political issues out on Iraqi news include prevalent political tensions, and Iraq’s future in building its history anew, not to mention its opportunity to build a democratic government and promote peace and stability for the people of Iraq.
In a statement to a local Iraqi news center-Kurdish News Agency, the Secretary-General expressed his concern on current political tensions that can aggravate insurgency in the country hence the need for a political dialogue, in the spirit of the national partnership and unity, to resolve current political issues.
The UN Secretary General, in particular, calls for the peaceful resolution of political differences through a constructive dialogue. According to Iraqi news reports, the dialogue seeks to find a resolution in accordance with the mandates of the Constitution along with its provisions on the separation of powers, the rule of law, not to mention judicial independence.
Moreover, the same statement on Iraqi news also revealed that Martin Kobler, the special representative for the United Nations Mission (UNAMI) in support of Iraq, shall continue its consultation with the leaders of Iraq, and shall be prepared to extend assistance at this critical stage.
Consequently, it is also apparent on Iraqi news that a political crisis is haunting the Iraqi government amidst the attempt of the Maliki Iraqi Council of Representative to withdraw its confidence from Saleh al-Mutlaq, a deputy prime minister. The withdrawal of confidence to the deputy prime minister grounded on the reason that he lacks assurance in the political process.
In an Iraqi news report, Iraq’s Ministry of Interior and Fimaoalent issued a warrant of arrest against Tarek al-Hashemi by virtue of the Article 4 of the Constitution that deals with terrorism, grounded on the confessions pertaining to the assassination plot and detonation of explosives in 2009.
In denial of the charges against him, Hashemi questioned the confessions of individuals seeking for protection after they revealed on the Iraqi news television station that Hashemi was the mastermind of the killings. Hashemi further demanded transfer of the investigation to the Kurdustan region.
Hashemi and al-Mutlaq, leaders of the secular group-Iraqi bloc, are on the same block with the unity government spearheaded by al-Maliki.
Feeling marginalized in the recent times, the Iraqi bloc that happens to be the Council’s largest solo bloc. In effect, it has boycotted various meetings sponsored by deputies and ministers as shown on Iraqi news reports.
Given the rising political tensions evident on Iraqi news reports, the heated rivalry between the Prime Minister and his political opponents intensified, in their efforts to come up with a compromise to share political power in the Iraqi government upon the pull out of the recent U.S troops based in Iraq.
In the fear of agitating the political duress, Iraqi news reports stated that al-Maliki reached out to Iraqi politicians in order to control the prevalent political condition.
US Military activity in Iraq ceased on December 18, 2011; nonetheless, the United States relayed its concern over the political issues on Iraq in a phone conversation between the US Vice President, and the Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Malik and House Speaker Osama Najafi according to Iraqi news reports.
