Political analyst Majashaa Al-Tamimi confirmed on Saturday that the ambiguous scene in Iraq reflects a structural and chronic governance crisis, which is mainly due to the sectarian and partisan quota system that prioritizes narrow interests over the national interest.
Al-Tamimi told Al-Maalouma that “the absence of sovereign decision-making in Iraq has led to weak administrations that lack strategic vision and rely heavily on a rentier economy based on oil.”
Al-Tamimi added that “talking about restricting weapons cannot take place in light of Iraq’s lack of full sovereignty and the absence of a serious political will capable of putting an end to foreign interference in all its forms,” stressing that “establishing the authority of the state requires first and foremost an independent sovereign decision and a clear political will.”
He pointed out that “combating corruption and economic reform require moving from patchwork solutions to comprehensive institutional reforms, through automating administration, diversifying sources of income, and strengthening the independence of the judiciary and activating its role in combating corruption.”
He continued, “Iraq’s future remains suspended between the continuation of the political and administrative chaos and the emergence of a genuine reformist will capable of transcending the conflicts of power-sharing and spoils and placing the national interest at the forefront of priorities.”
