Editorial: Maliki .. Shiite version of Saddam Hussein

Asked the newspaper “The Independent” British whether the disintegration of Iraq is the last under the current crisis, which threatens more specifically sectarian divisions between Sunnis and Shiites. He spoke by Patrick Kkbron in the article, the newspaper about the situation in Iraq, and said that the three main parties in the country, the Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds, can not govern together, as that every one of them can not be judged on its own, threatening to divide the country.

He continues by saying that the bombings in Iraq last November, and although they were not very like, but that represented a sign of the changing political chief in Iraqi politics, as it was used as a pretext on the part of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, who considered it an attempt to assassinate him, and has a background charges against the Iraqi Vice President Tariq al-Hashimi were involved.

The writer refers to Maliki that turns into a Shiite version of Saddam Hussein, having abandoned the settlement and proceeded to the centralization of power in his hand and relying on force alone. And wonders whether al-Maliki has the means to achieve that even if Iraq’s oil revenues are estimated at $ 100 billion annually.

The author explains that Saddam had other means of coercion, but nevertheless failed to establish his authority absolute. Failure because it is difficult Trhibb three main sects in Iraq permanently. He used Saddam and previous rulers of the use of massacres against the Kurds and terrorism for more than 40 years, but they could not crush them. He says one Iraqi observer that the Sunni Arabs in a better position to undermine the stability of the races than it was by the Kurds.

Kkbron believe that the concentration of power in Iraq is facing major obstacles, because all parties have foreign allies. The Sunnis have Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey and the United States unless they are marginalized and turn them into second-class citizens. It is worth mentioning here that some Sunni politicians in Baghdad, left the country with their families on the basis that survival has become very serious.

He concluded his report by saying that the future of Iraq will be determined by the capitals of neighboring countries over the next year, and still the United States played an important role, despite the departure of its troops. The greater the division of Iraq has increased the influence of external parties. Although al-Maliki appeared nationally, but he plays under pressure Pkart sectarian, usually intimidating specter of Shiite Baathists and Sunni anti-revolution.
