Differences between the central government and the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq
11/06/2019 12:01 AM
Mostafa Mohamed Gharib
Differences that have started between the federal government and the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq have lost opportunities to build national relations and rebuild what has been ravaged by years of dominance of the Baath Party. These differences have become the cornerstone of sabotage, terrorism, quotas and external interference, exacerbating them until they become a time bomb to ignite a war. Internal relations are no different from previous wars that destroyed the country without the wisdom of national forces and democracy and the rationality of parties interested in stability and the rejection of internal fighting, the situation moved under the current Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi and the understanding after several talks brought the parties to the conviction Dialogue and agreement on the need for a peaceful solution through this positive dialogue, and once calm the differences and the intention to find solutions, we find the return of differences again to the forefront between the central government and the territorial government under charges of non-commitment of the territorial government to pay oil imports for about (250) thousand barrels of oil per day and agreed in the budget Financial for 2019, to Baghdad »and demanded some of the receivables of the Kurdistan region.
This situation renewed the state of skepticism between the parties, rumors and statements on the issue of non-payment of the share of the province of the budget and thus cut the salaries of employees and the Peshmerga and link between the issue of (250) barrels of oil not sent by the territorial government as agreed in 2019, is not the issue of oil but one of the problems Many of them need careful pause in order to reach solutions that serve the country and the Iraqi people, including the issue of the disputed areas, foremost of which is the Kirkuk issue and other issues. Therefore, matters need to enter into high-level negotiations to reach common ground State w We have many examples, such as the burning of more than 1,500 thousand acres of wheat and barley, and the export of some goods, drugs and rotten foods, and the smuggling of tons of drugs and contraband to Iraq, smuggling of antiquities, corruption and theft of money This situation was not isolated from the legacy of the past and the Baathist rule for decades. During the reign of the monarchy, the Kurdish issue remained a mine threatening social peace due to neglect and the inability to understand that every nation has equal rights with other nationalities, According to objective and subjective circumstances.
The issue of self-government in 1970 was achieved only through the struggle of national forces and democracy, especially the Iraqi Communist Party, as well as the struggle of the Kurdish forces and parties. In realizing this just demand, «Autonomy» and despite the procrastination and emptying of its content and the domination of the Legislative Council by the dictatorial regime is initially considered a national gain in addition to being a national gain bode well for the sake of finding just solutions for the other nationalities in the country and the march towards achieving democracy The Baathist black flood soon overtook Saddam Hussein and in turn ended any hope of restoring serenity and cohesion. The autonomy and its institutions became offices of the Baath Party no longer representing the Kurdish people and their aspirations for freedom and progress. The armed movement against the dictatorship of the parties Several then joined the Iraqi Communist Party after aborting the National Front and became a case like the case of the Legislative Council in Iraqi Kurdistan because of the policy of the dictatorial regime and its dictatorial tendencies and absolute dominance over the country. After the fall of the regime in the occupation in 2003, the Kurdish issue returned as an important issue. The region and 1991 became almost independent of the central government, followed by the May 1991 elections in the two areas controlled by the PUK and the Kurdistan Democratic Party.
The overthrow of the dictatorial regime has resulted in a positive attitude towards solving the problems of years and moving to another kind of relations that strengthen national cohesion and block the way to the Chauvinism and the asceticism of some. The Constitution, despite its many gaps, contributed to the path of the federal state (140) to find possible solutions to resolve disputes and convergence of positions, views and ideas of both sides and urged the national forces and democracy and the majority of the Iraqi people today. have suffered dictatorial rule and his government unjust
And to create a state of fear and fear almost no different from the Nazi methods and fascism in the use of all means and methods to close the way to any light opening of freedoms and democracy.
2 The country was introduced into internal wars and used against the Kurdish people and some areas of the South chemical weapons. This led to the death, displacement and displacement of thousands of citizens, as well as the forced displacement that was used against the Faili Kurds in addition to hundreds of thousands. They preferred immigration and asylum to the countries of Europe and the world
3 Entering wars in which the country has nothing to do with it has not resulted in the sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of citizens among the dead and disabled and the fugitive. Then, the country was placed under Chapter VII and the destruction of the infrastructure and the division of the country into sections and areas and influence,
4 Then was the 2003 war in which Iraq was occupied by the United States of America, Britain and its allies.
At the moment, differences of this kind have begun, but they are no different from the essence. Just as national extremism works to create problems for a radical solution to the national cause, sectarian and sectarian extremism are playing the game itself, a real disaster to create the consequences of a war not only between the central government and the territorial government. But will extend to include all components and the Arab al-Faisih mean civil war and the division of Iraq,
We return to emphasize the need for the central government to conduct a dialogue with the Kurdistan Regional Government and to resolve problems, oil and Article 140 or any other issues rather than rhetoric and the launch of statements and threats are futile .. The right solution is to spare Iraq and the Iraqi people a lot of disasters and tragedies, Continue to punish the people for narrow interests? Is it reasonable to keep the differences and the complexities that threaten stability and the unity of the country?
