Baghdad - Mawazine News
Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi found himself in a position he never imagined, amid popular protests calling for him to fight corruption and provide services, and in a very difficult time, a second term prime minister.

Haidar al-Abadi feels "injustice" in these protests, according to sources close to him, explaining that it took longer after the liberation of the country to carry out his promise to fight corruption, which he considered an extension of Daash.

Contrary to previous protests, most political figures and blocs are silent about what is happening in the popular movement, which sometimes took severe forms in the central and southern governorates of Iraq.

The silence of the parties and the political forces about what is going on seems to be an attempt to get out of these demonstrations with the least possible losses, leaving Abadi alone to face the unknown fate.

The Kurds and the Sunnis have not issued any statement about the protests that have been abandoned by their regions, nor have they been issued by most of the Shiite forces, except for Muqtada al-Sadr's calls for calm and an offer to the protestors to participate with them.

There is still uncertainty about the role of Sadr's leader, Moqtada al-Sadr, the only major political actor who has the motivation and the means to give the demonstrations broader political organization, yet he has been cautious so far. He has expressed his support for the demonstrators without asking his supporters to join the demonstrations. , Iraq will be in a more serious predicament.

Sources within the Dawa Party said: Abadi is in an enviable position these days, especially as he leads an expired government, and things seem to be moving towards more complexity.

The sources believe that "it is unlikely in the shadow of a government does not have the powers and funds sufficient, and restricted by the restrictions of the World Bank."

"Abadi today is committed to agreements with the International Monetary Fund because it oversees the implementation of the decisions and the state's administrative and financial policy."

Laith Kubba, a former spokesman for the Iraqi government under Jaafari's government, was commissioned by the fund to manage the taxpayer and is now working from his office in the Green Zone.



As for Abadi's position within the Dawa party, the movements of the party's secretary-general, former prime minister Nuri al-Maliki, are still pending.

Maliki is trying to implicitly support the protest movement, in an attempt to disobedience, and not to respect the isolation of the party between the political and popular circles.

"I salute you, respected young people, and I salute the high patriotic spirit in you when you took up arms in defense of your dear country Iraq, and you won the victory over gangs. You are today the heart of Iraq," he said, You are now the leaders of this movement demanding services and a life of dignity, "an attempt to hold Abadi responsible for the failure of the government over the past period, forgetting that he took over the presidency of the government for eight years intersected by the biggest corruption in history, as well as control over one third of Iraq.

It is known that al-Maliki faced the protests, which came out in the second session of the Prime Minister, in the winter of 2011, heavy measures led to the arrest of dozens, and sought to many times not to allow the demonstration, which later eroded the political reputation.

Despite calls by some to expand the protests to the northern and western provinces, observers of the Iraqi issue do not expect a large response to this. They ruled that these demonstrations to move to the Sunni provinces in any way, memories of the demonstrations that emerged spontaneously in 2013 and 2014 are present in mind , Before being exploited by some quarters and turn into a relapse in the sense of the word.

As for the Kurds, they are steeped in the problems of the region and do not need any demonstrations in it, especially as they suffer from the consequences of the referendum on the independence of Kurdistan, whose results were reflected in disappointment and successive political losses on the political and economic levels and the loss of international relations.
