Top Iraqi Sunni leaders are expressing growing disquiet today about their lack of role in the Abadi government, despite the Shi’ite-dominated leadership’s promises of inclusion.
“Are we part of Iraq?” asked former Deputy PM Rafi Essawi, one of several former top officials attending a Brookings Institution event to complain about their lack of posts.
Nineveh Governor Atheel Nujaifi, whose province is overwhelmingly under ISIS control, went on to complain that the Iraqi government had gone to great efforts to talk up backing Sunni fighters against ISIS in his province, but had never provided them with the weapons they were supposed to.
Nujaifi went on to say that if Nineveh was ever recovered, it ought to be given the status of an autonomous region, much like Kurdistan has in the northesat.
Essawi, for his part, didn’t fault Abadi for the problems, saying he had “inherited a very damaged political and security situation” and was simply too weak to follow through on his promised reforms.
Now seriously…they surely didn't really believe Abadi when he was forced by the US to make those promises, did they? The Shiite-dominated leadership has never hidden their intentions of running the Sunnis out of the country and they absolutely never intended to arm them – look at the lengths Abadi and his predecessor have gone through to stop the US from arming the Kurds.
The warmongers just want the war to continue and I don't believe they actually care who wins – because their won't be any winners. When all the indigenous peoples are gone, the US and their "allies" will move in. But, like I said, there won't be any winners.
Government is rule by the educated upper half of society, be it a dictatorship or democracy. For never has there been a government that stopped the upper half from hoarding all, 100% of the wealth.
For the purpose of this life is to reach the ultimate conclusion of such stupidity.
