A Welcomed Necessity: Getting Closer To Political Unity In Iraq
Do you think the mainstream media will report on this?
Baghdad, Dec 14 – Leaders and representatives of parties that signed a quadruple agreement met in Baghdad on Thursday evening to discuss a host of important issues in the political and security domains, a presidential media source said on Friday.
“Among the issues of mutual interest discussed was the tribal awaking councils and their role in the efforts to impose security and order in the country,” the source told the independent news agency Voices of Iraq (VOI).
The meeting was attended by President Jalal Talabani, Leader of the Shiite Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council (SIIC) Abdul-Aziz al-Hakim, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zibari and representatives of the parties to the quadruple agreement.
Iraqi leaders had signed a deal in August 2007, deemed by observers as a four-way agreement between the largest two Kurdish and two Shiite parties with the aim of backing the Maliki government.
The agreement was signed by Talabani, Iraqi Kurdistan Region President Massoud Barazani, Maliki, in his capacity as secretary-general of the Dawa Party, and Vice President Adel Abdul-Mahdi as representative of the SIIC.
The leaders also discuss on Thursday other important topics including provincial council elections, the role of the higher commission on elections and the general amnesty to be granted to detainees proved not involved in acts against the law, the source added.
