A source within the coordination framework revealed the most important points on the agenda of the meeting of Shiite leaders that will be held tomorrow, Monday.
The source told Shafaq News Agency that “the file of Iraqi-Saudi tension regarding the targeting of the Saudi oil pipeline by drones launched from Maysan Governorate, according to Saudi claims, in addition to the file of completing the government cabinet and discussing the progress of some candidates for the vacant ministries and independent bodies, as well as the files of the country’s economic situation and the file of the energy and fuel crisis, will all be on the meeting’s table.”
Regarding the latest developments in the work of the negotiating committee of the factions, the source confirmed that “the four-member committee formed by the Coordination Framework, which includes the leader of the State of Law Coalition, Nouri al-Maliki, the leader of the Badr Organization, Hadi al-Amiri, and former Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, and to whom Humam Hamoudi, head of the Supreme Islamic Council, recently joined, has submitted to the office of Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi a detailed report on the results of the committee’s work, along with proposals to resolve the factions’ crisis and restrict weapons throughout the country.”
The source added that “the report was prepared at the request of al-Zaydi, and therefore everything he needs or that pertains to the factions and the proposed solutions to end the file in a way that preserves the prestige of the state and the rights of those factions is contained in the report, which can be described as huge.”
The issue of armed factions is one of the most sensitive issues facing the Iraqi government, with the approach of September 30, which the main political forces have set as the deadline for restricting weapons to official institutions.
The plan to restrict weapons does not have a unified position among the armed factions. While some forces have expressed a willingness to reorganize their military and security relationship with the state, other factions, including Kataib Hezbollah, Harakat al-Nujaba and Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada, have announced their refusal to give up their military capabilities, and have linked any discussion about their weapons to the end of the presence of foreign forces and ensuring the protection of Iraq from external attacks.
September 30th also coincides with the deadlines related to ending the international coalition’s military presence in Iraq, which some factions use as a basis for linking the future of their weapons to the withdrawal of foreign forces.
