A Number Of Challenges Await Iraq After Exiting The Year Of Political Blockage
Posted On10-14-2022 By Sotaliraq Therefore, it is the end of the blockage and a passage to another new stage, although the challenges that Iraq faces after this blockage cannot be considered an opening or a salvation from the restrictions of the previous stages. Prime Minister, while overcoming all of this opens a new page of dialogues with their differences and consensus under the title “forming the government.” The difficulties of forming the next government are not limited to the consensus of the political blocs.
The masses who are able to sit in the Green Zone are prepared for any step that contradicts what they see as a national interest, and thus dealing with it as a popular opposition force represents a political challenge in the next stage, and it is clear that it will have a longer life than any Another hindrance.
Not far from the political calculations, the economy also has its challenges. Approval of the budget next year 2023 may be the biggest catalyst for accelerating the formation of the government, and the problem of the exchange rate and its adjustment or not represents one of the most important problems left by Mustafa Al-Kazemi’s government during its short life, in addition to that. ‘
The problems of global energy security and Iraq’s oil productivity, which call for a strong government that puts the country’s interest ahead of other external pressures in any direction, as well as the urgent need to return to investment projects that have been postponed for years due to the repeated failure to approve budgets.
As Iraq emerges from its political impasse and its economic suffocation, it faces security challenges that are not limited to the sporadic attacks of ISIS. With any decision or step that does not serve the interest of this armed party or that, the Green Zone turns into a missile landing site and a Katyusha mailbox, and there are conflicts between factions.
Armed forces that occur from time to time currently represent the feature of the security situation and reveal the extent of its fragility and the state’s lack of power with what weapons are outside its hand.
And the more the differences intensified within a country, the more the interests of others on its land were greater and its interests lost. For quite some time, Iraq has been receiving rockets and marches without the ability to respond or put an end, which means that the next stage requires a more firm stance to stop the continuous aggression on its lands.
And to deal with international and regional differences in a way that prevents turning it into an arena for settling accounts, especially that stopping the attacks on diplomatic missions was not in the capacity of the caretaker government to stop them, but rather a shift in interests and accounts related to the conflict between Washington and Tehran and its reflection on Baghdad, which means that this problem is postponed. It must not appear in the next stage as an old, renewed challenge if the ship is to reach safety. LINK
