Hammam Hammoudi: Iraq’s verdict not sectarian
The Head of the Iraqi Islamic Supreme Council, Sheikh Hammam Hammoudi, affirmed that governance in Iraq is not sectarian but consensual, and that the democratic system in the country is ongoing and considered to be enduring. He explained that the system was established by a popular Iraqi decision through sacrifices, not as a result of the will of the American civilian administrator, Paul Bremer. He noted that Iraq succeeded in establishing a pluralistic democratic system based on freedoms and peaceful transfer of power. However, it failed to build a strong institutional state due to sectarian quotas, which corrupted the political process. He also pointed out that the current government is led by a Shiite prime minister who bears responsibility for security. Elections granted power to the majority rather than the minority. He called for shifting from political participation to building a state of laws and institutions, and for enhancing sovereignty through a project to control arms and to integrate the Popular Mobilization Forces in accordance with parliamentary decision. Additionally, he emphasized the importance of strengthening regional cooperation, achieving security and stability in the region, and focusing on fighting corruption and developing foreign policy.
