Coordination Framework's Mediation in Iraq
The ruling "Coordination Framework" forces in Iraq are seeking mediation between the government and armed factions that refuse to hand over their weapons, aiming to avoid armed confrontation and to maintain the monopoly of weapons in the hands of the state before September 30. This date marks the deadline for legally and security-wise resolution of the issue. The committee includes Shiite political figures with wide ties to the factions, such as Hadi al-Amiri and Ammar al-Hakim, in an effort to reach a settlement that ensures the factions' continued political influence while implementing the government's mandate to centralize weapons under state control. The government faces significant obstacles from factions that link the weapons issue to security and regional threats, while the dialogue focuses on mechanisms for implementation, including the possibility of integrating some faction members into official institutions. If mediation fails, the options may include postponing the deadline or activating coercive measures, which could lead to armed clashes, all while the government remains keen to avoid force and prefers political solutions as its preferred approach.
