The quran
Sadam had only two kurdish judges and was also replaced by a kurdi r@t...some secret sources add that the new president jalal talibani has met him in his prison to give him the last humilation in his life!!
The kurdistan legislative elections has begun...the official opposition party is called movement for change...kurds are tribal people though not having tribes instead they have regionalism and dialects for exmaple the kurdistan region president is closer to the syrian kurds than other kurds in iraq...mostly sulamaniya wich the president of iraq(in hospital in europe for 3 months) hails from.
There is an ikhwan party too
What I meant is the people are too qabali/cashairi(different concept than the somali political tribalism they are only loyal to their patronage)hence are not welcoming any thing new, however, the rampant corruption has given a political landscape to the progressive change party/harakat tagyir
America is againist the regional president to continue any more so he added 2 years into his last ever term...however the ruling kurdistan coalition(from the two traditional kurdistan parties led by talibani and barazani from the traditional and historical ruling agha and malali families) will likely to stay in the power because of their billions of dollars and they already started going to the peoples houses and places...yeah its democracy
Btw dam jadiid is planning the same thing to do in the regional elections in post-national stabilization plan or where ever elections are going on!
Now back to our title
The somali and iraqi politics seem to resemble eachother, the tendency to have regional fragmentation, the loyalty to the foreingners except that there are no political interests in the somali case as the somalis unlike of the iraqis are unable to develop
This is why I'm interested in the iraqi politics using the comprative policy of the political science
We have talked about the land and the system in a recent thread, now let us have a look at the iraqi politics
In this era, the shites are the nationalists and patriots of iraq, their national slogan is al iraq al waxid al mowaxad wich scares the kurds. Though kurdistan is an autonomous region constitutionally since 95 it has been threatened one time by the iraqi forces until they accepted malikis economical policies so there is no too much jooqjooq(challenge)
As a regional allies, both most of the kurds and shia are associated with iran and were a local political allies back in the 80s
The sunni arabs have conflicts with both of them...land dispute and historical divide with kurds and sectarian conflict with shia
Shia are dominating in the institutions out of kurdistan...the sunni arabs suffer from this control and are resisting it by all means...for this reason, the disputed provinces between them and kurds is likey to be seconded to their new strategy as they are now seeking alliance with kurds
for a long time, the kurds were offering to them a 10 years contract that funds them if they adopt their autonomy model as the arab sunnis have no oil and economically depend on the shia...meantime the kurds are affraid of a strong sunni arabs because of the land dispute between them but their kurdish national interests goes along with a fragmented iraq to minimaze the shia states control
Kurdistan authority have lately started treating the wounded arab sunnis in their hospitals
Turkey is now playing a role of bringing the kurds and sunni arabs closer together
sunni arabs have now started seeking autonomy after the iraqi forces destroyed their markets
sunni arabs have the most important towns including baghdad, mosil, anbaar and the disputed provinces between them and kurds
Destroyed Sunni arab market
