8:21 pm
story. after weeks of anti-government protests iraq's president says the prime minister has offered to quit and promises an early election but will this be enough to stop the anger and can the sectarian political system that many made for the crisis survive this is inside story.
8:22 pm
hello and welcome to the program i'm fully back to bowl for a month now people in iraq have been protesting for change many are angry at the high unemployment and poor services they want ministers to resign and iraq's sectarian political system to end saying it's led to rampant corruption and abuse of power more than 200 protesters have been killed by security forces over the past several weeks iraq's president made some concessions in a televised speech on thursday by him saturday says the prime minister will resign but only if political parties agree on his replacement and he is promising new elections what will lead to a new or kick. in as president of the republic i want to stress that i will agree to early elections based on a new election law and the new election commission the legitimacy of any governance comes from the people and there is no eternity if it's but the protesters say the
8:23 pm
presidential announcement doesn't go far enough. woman and since we are the authority no and the parliament and government are now expired they should all resign and real reforms should be introduced that meet the aspirations of the iraqi people not about it iraqi woman and children have taken to the streets to let the world know that this is a great revolution and we will not give up or back off until our demands are met that will bring in our guests in just a moment but 1st name has. these protesters have returned to talk near square to mark the one month of protests here in baghdad when it was announced on thursday evening that president barham salam would make a televised speech to the nation protesters had by. those who quickly turned to anger and disappointment president silence said their prime minister idol i build my city will step down but not until its successor is named no word on when that
8:24 pm
would happen and exactly who would select a successor also said that elections would be held but no timeframe was given he said those elections can't be held until until a new election law is drafted and the electoral committee is formed he says that next week the parliament will review a draft of a new election law protesters here called the speech a joke a disappointment and evidence that there is still a very wide divide between what they want and what the government is doing meanwhile industry international released a report saying that security forces in baghdad have been deploying one. they call military grade tear gas grenades that are intended to kill not disperse crowds the report says that they are 10 times more potent than the typical tear gas canister and they are being aimed at protesters in bodies at close range this look into so
8:25 pm
many protesters who had wounds on their arms and legs a spokesman for the prime minister says they have steely amnesty international report it has been sent on to weapons experts and they will make a statement when necessary more than 250 people have been killed more than 5500 injured since these protests began on october 1st. all right let's bring in our guests now in erbil in northern iraq. dean president of the middle east research institute here in doha is a dawn political analyst writer and contributor to open democracy an online publication and in london we have 3 nats months or director of the iraq initiative at chatham house welcome to inside so you so much for being with us. in erbil what do you make of president bob saw his announcement the protesters are rejecting
8:26 pm
it but do you think it could be a reasonable way out of this crisis that it could accomplish perhaps what the protesters are demanding. well the president underlined the principles of care and democracy he expressed his willingness to cooperate and to carry out the steps that people are asking him to within the confines of the constitution and his role he also explained the word should be the process on what could be the road a road map towards this the end of this demonstration issue but it was expected that it will be rejected by the opposition by the demonstrators by the camp that is now demanding more and more because at the end of the day the people the demonstrators are after such a month long escalation their demands are is escalating to they went from having
8:27 pm
a government providing services and jobs into rejecting the government then rejecting the parliament now rejecting the entire political process and some even demand the rejection or the change of the constitution so we knew that there is nothing that the president would say that would actually meets the either the satisfaction of the crowd or their blessing so therefore all he could do was actually just to underline the principles explain the situation and express his willingness to help bring out months or in london testing times no doubt for iraq's leadership bhansali didn't provide a timeline for when a successor to prime minister abdel mahdi will be named all for when elections could be held what did you make of this announcement and do you think the resignation of abdel mahdi if it happens will help or will it creates more chaos. i think a question that we need to ask is why was his speech rejected fundamentally the
8:28 pm
protests and from their perspective what they're calling for is a change of the entire system now when the president came out and gave a speech he said we could change the prime minister we could have early elections but only once we use the system to try and change it so from the perspective of the street iraqis are saying yet again the same political elite will choose a new prime minister that's not what we're demanding i think they have been consistent for many years now that they're not against one certain leader or a certain political party but they're against this entire system and the president's speech was still using the logic that the elites have tried to use for several years which is to try and remedy the demands of the people by going back to elite bargains and it just isn't cutting it more and more for many iraqis changing the political system is indeed what many of the protesters have been demanding and we'll get into that in just a moment but hey don let me get your thoughts on the announcement made by the
8:29 pm
president iraqi security forces as we heard natasha name mentioned have killed over 200 people in recent weeks can iraqi leaders come back from crossing that line and maintain legitimacy in order to make reforms and address people's grievances it feels like it has gone too far with the death of all these protesters in recent weeks. absolutely the iraqi government can't take a step forward anymore and approach the iraqi people with short term economic reforms or even political reforms through the very same system as a recluse were not mentioned the the violent crackdown that has been met by the iraqi protesters as an evidence as a great evidence actually why the iraqi protestors or the people shouldn't believe the economic reforms shouldn't believe the short term or the long term political solutions that the government is proposing to the people the people in the demonstrators have been very clear since october 1st that they want a downfall of an ethnic sectarian kota the have failed to provide the most simple
8:30 pm
public services to the iraqi people and most definitely not through having one figureheads such as are their identity as an entire regime and having an in the new elections through the very same system means the same political parties and the same interest groups will be able to form the new government that they have always been doing every 4 years and this is what it's looking like it's going to happen. the ball now seems to be in the court of the political parties that nominated and in fact confirmed as prime minister do you think the 2 major part of entry blocs. will be able to agree on a replacement for mahdi if indeed he quits and a replacement that's acceptable not just to iraqi people but also to outside powers like iran and the united states because we know that these outside powers have huge influence on what's going on in iraq. i think the 1st thing is for the power
8:31 pm
holders people outside the parliament those who have the blocks on the other tools to maneuver they should come to some kind of agreement out of the moment the gap between them is too wide and remember they represent 2 different camps and within each camp there are too many actors those actors are not necessarily liaise in coordinating or a green strategy for example the camp of the government in the power holders and the paramilitary forces as well as iran pro iran group all of these guys have got too many actors in there but not necessarily united in their approach except that they are united in preserving the government and inside the parliament the factions that they have actually waiting for the ultimate decision makers outside the parliament to make the decision and on the other camp and the opposition cam again we see too many of groups and they do not have the at the moment the clarity to go ahead inside the parliament to greet
8:32 pm
a way forward otherwise there are mechanisms within the parliament where they can trigger a process that could lead to legislation for reforming the election law and other laws as well as a nominated somebody and either withdrawing or giving confidence to any government but at the moment in iraqi parliament we are not going by the book having the majority minority or factions that are able to solve problems because conflicts are not solved the inside iraqi parliament it has to be in other places like not just like around like within the factions that are confined to leaders and the sudras leaders so essentially every eyes on them this is actually exactly why the government is unable to solve the problem or come up with any fast magical solutions neither the president nor the speaker of the parliament nor the government leader the prime minister they are just part of this is train accepted. they are not power so at the moment we have
8:33 pm
a gap between the 2 camps that is not reconcilable so easily a gap that's not reconcilable you say not months so as i said to many actors any iran reportedly stepped in recently to prevent the ouster of prime minister abdel mahdi even though. sato whose block has a notch as seats in the parliament wanted. to resign what does this say about the influence of these outside powers and do you agree with to a certain extent that it has to be these powers that intervene in a way to solve this crisis so there's a bit of a contradiction between what the people are demanding and those that are looking to preserve the system and preserve the government so iran stepped in and there seems to be a coalition of forces that want to keep this system and to keep the prime minister in place that includes the paramilitary.
