Iraq Faces a Risky Choice
The article argues that Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi faces a series of risky choices. Although he is removed from the party and militia networks associated with power-sharing and corruption, he is not expected to overturn their system and has little room to maneuver. He was chosen to resolve a crisis that followed US President Donald Trump’s opposition to reinstalling Nouri al-Maliki, and Washington approved al-Zaidi because he was not connected to those networks. The article portrays him as standing alone against an entrenched system that has been in place for more than twenty years, while large parts of the state remain loyal to al-Maliki—making the task of solving Iraq’s complex problems more than he can manage.
