Blackshart And Her Encrypted Messages
FRI, 07-10-2022,PM 10:56 Tayseer Al-Assadi By: Abbas Sabbagh
The Iraqi street was not alone in resentment at the obstruction of the political process, but the international community as a whole was also resentful. This was revealed by Mrs. Blackshart, the UN Special Representative for Iraq in her periodic and angry briefing on the Iraqi issue, so it is time for all politicians to direct their attention to rebuilding the political process And put it on the right rail, and the clinical death that paralyzed that process must be treated as soon as possible.
Plasschaert and through her “surroundings” The routine – and it was not the first of its kind – conveyed an encrypted message from several points and kept the door open to the international community for all possible possibilities. It revealed the apparent part of the submerged iceberg and indicated that the situation in Iraq does not bode well and is on the brink of civil war, God forbid.
The blame is all on the political class working against its own people – she says – (actors across the political spectrum have failed to put the national interest first. They have left the country in a long-term impasse, further escalating the already simmering anger).
It is certain, and unequivocally, that the abnormal political situation in Iraq does not appeal to the international community, and this is not the first time that Plasschaert has surrounded the Security Council with the outcomes and outcomes of the dire political situation (all leaders must assume responsibility and refocus to where it should be: Blackshart was very frank that she threw the ball in the court of all politicians and did not exclude anyone from them.
Everyone bears the implicit responsibility because they put Iraq in the crosshairs of regional conflicts and international problems, and they did not achieve any political / social harmony, reassuring and decent living, in addition to that government spending will not be available in the event of continued The blockage to infinity, Iraq still suffers from several intractable files at all levels, including security, economic, environmental and other complications in thorny local and regional files that cast dark shadows on the Iraqi scene in general, and the most dangerous of all this economic file, especially in the event of government spending stopping and in a country that still suffers a lot from Its residents are from the specter of unemployment and live below the level of poverty.
I hope that all the political class will understand that the time has come for a restoration of this process before it takes its last breath and before it is too late. And when I regret it LINK
