Multiple crises: Iraq, to where

الاقتصادـالعراقي-768x506

 After the assumption Haider Abadi the Iraqi government for more than a year and half, no president  has  been able to manage the country’s  crises like the security crisis noting that the  state of fighting Against ISIS   “Daash” remains constant in Iraq and the lack of security and stability situation in the city of Baghdad and the continued kidnappings and killings and aggressions practiced by the elements of the armed militias linked to some of the staff  of power in Baghdad. As for the economic crisis ,  Iraq have suffered and still from the extremely bad  economic situation  as a result of the former Iraqi prime minister’s policies as this bad economy  was inherited  by the government of Haider al-Abadi, and what  increased this bad state ,  which could be up to the level of economic collapse,  is  the decline in global oil prices , as  the oil revenues is  the financial resource that Iraq depends upon it to cover the expenses of the state.

With a loss of clear vision  to deal with the aspirations  and hopes of the Iraqi people  and the weak state of the political agreement among  the political  parties and  its disappearance and the accompanying lack of manifestations of health and education services and the continued looting of money and the haste of  the waste of public money and the wealth of the country and the expansion of unemployment , poverty, want and need.  Abadi failed to understand the Iraqi people’s problems and comprehend its aspirations and hopes and achieve its objectives in a free and dignified life with a complete omission  to provide security and stability to the people  which are  the two key factors  of making   a free and dignified life and futuristic look to the Iraqi people and establish a new phase in its  life.

 with this tragic situation and administrative  corruption ,  Abadi  proceeded to find way and trends that will help him to correct the path of life in Iraq, and  declared political and economic reforms and the exclusion and exemption of some officials of the government office and start with austerity policy in running the country and the recognition of the failures and cases of corruption and squandering of public money, which was notable attribute  for the Maliki government . The adoption of the Iraqi budget for 2016, which carries the attributes and clarity of cases of austerity and the impact of lower oil prices and the weak and the deterioration of the financial returns  of Iraq posing a great burden on the state and crisis management in the country and was an important obstacle in how to speed up reforms in Iraq, which led to the weakness of correct and accurate confrontation  by the Government  of Abadi and not being able to absorb the problems and lack of proper root solutions.

And  the economic crisis experienced by Iraq began to enter a dangerous turn that  is fueling much of the security and economic complexities that threatens the structure of the state and its survival  accompanied by the resentment of  supreme religious authority of the government for  inability to cope with the Marja’ s ambitions in the reform, which led to the declaration of the Marja to stop talking on  political matters until further notice, and  thus , the  government of Abadi missed the most important pillar  for  its  continuing and  support.

The domination and control owned by the armed militias in Iraq, which is closely linked to leaders of the politicians that are considered as a strike hands for  them and protect them from being accountable for corruption cases that formed  an extra burden to the  government-Abbadi  that may not be able to  treat or face it  due to its  governance to   the internal security situation , especially in areas of Baghdad areas  and Abadi  was  unable to resolve the loyalty of military and security leaders in the military and security institutions, and that still have  strong links and deep interests with those who govern Iraq before him.

In front of these challenges, Iraq is on the verge of social and security and economic disaster  which threaten its  social fabric and territorial integrity and increase the regional ambitions to control it or divide it , and this is clear from the policy pursued  in Iraq and the government’s inability to cope with crises except through  stylistic words and beautiful phrases that  are useless , things  in Iraq  are going from bad to worse and  the economic situation is  low and a sharp drop in state revenues and the lack of smooth and clear in the distribution of salaries and the delay of financial payments to the Kurdistan region, which form the serious internal situation that threatens  social security in the region starting from the  popular demonstrations carried out by the large number of staff and security men and police in the province of Sulaymaniyah   extended  from  areas  of  Penguin district to  Klar district  demanding financial entitlements and delayed monthly  salaries  that form  an extension of the demonstrations in  the central and southern Iraq In front of these multiple crises, Iraq is going to where.
