Al-Zaydi reshapes Armed Forces Office leadership
The Iraqi government, led by Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaydi, focused on restructuring security and military institutions in the country to strengthen control over security matters, especially amidst political disagreements regarding the nominees for the Ministries of Interior and Defense. The "Office of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces" was reactivated, having been halted after the failure to manage security during ISIS's extensive territorial occupation, with the aim of ensuring broad authorities and facilitating coordination among security agencies—particularly in the absence of a significant ministerial figure. Additionally, new leaders were appointed to institutions such as the Counter-Terrorism Service and the Federal Police, in an effort to improve performance and enhance the government's capacity to manage security issues, while also monitoring the increasing influence of armed factions within security agencies, which could hinder disarmament efforts. These changes are part of a broader plan to control weapons and reduce outside influence, with expectations of further modifications to senior positions in the coming days.
