The Speaker of the Iraqi Parliament, Muhammad al-Halbousi, threatened to withdraw from the political process due to the control of armed outlaws and their tampering with the security of the country and people, and their continuous attempts to alienate the state.

Al-Halbousi said - in a tweet he posted on his Twitter account - that political action is governed by principles and ethics, and disregard for the security of citizens, and stirring up strife among the people for any reason, cannot be classified as maneuvering or political pressure.

He added, "We will take serious and united (sharp) positions with regard to overall participation in the political process, given the control of the armed outlaws (without naming anyone) and their tampering with the security of the country and people, and their continuous attempts to absent the state, weaken the law and tamper with the social fabric.

The Speaker of Parliament stressed that it is not possible to build a state without justice and justice, and the citizen's right to a decent life is not respected.

Al-Halbousi pointed out that sooner or later all those who committed crimes against the people, looted their wealth, disappeared their men, killed and obstructed their youth as they demanded their rights, deserted others from their homes, and deposited innocents instead of criminals who were smuggled from prisons in broad daylight, will be held accountable sooner or later.

This position comes amid a stifling political crisis in Iraq as a result of the failure of the winning political forces in the parliamentary elections that were held last October to reach an agreement to choose a new president for the country and form the new government.

After #Anbar suffered from projects of extremism and terrorism and turned into a phase of domination, dictatorship, silencing and corruption, we announce from #Baghdad that these actions will face a reaction that the owners of normalization and partition projects will not expect.

Solomon's return

A few days ago, the Emir of the Dulaim tribes in Iraq, Sheikh Ali Hatem Al-Suleiman, returned to Iraq after an absence of 8 years, after being accused of terrorism after conflicts with the government of former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki that reached an armed clash.

Observers and specialists in Iraqi affairs considered that Suleiman's return to the political scene again was an attempt to strike the (Sunni) Sovereignty Alliance, which includes the "Progress" blocs led by al-Halbousi and "Azm" led by Khamis al-Khanjar, and to isolate the Sadrist movement led by Muqtada al-Sadr, stressing that Suleiman returned in agreement with the coordination framework. Which includes most of the prominent Shiite forces - except for the Sadrist movement - and is hosted by its leaders.
