usual. i see a thing, i think people can you explain as we show these pictures? what happens and what it normally would look like a parliament and is this an extraordinary occurrence? can you start? can you help us? well yeah, for the 1st time, it also is similar images where you can see that there's a inside where they supposed to be located all the drug laws and also the issue of liking for their normally and the behind the scenes for the 1st time came over that people can visit and

share a little bit of time. i say the time that is the expected for how long you get to live. when you look at those scenes of the men chanting and dancing and flags waving, what comes to mind? well, now you've got it. so i think it's interesting to see that iraq is, are actually celebrating, taking over the parliament building. and from what you could see in those pictures, they're not violent, but they're happy about just of the political leech decide. so many decisions for them that they don't feel. busy at honestly this extraordinary to see these pictures, but it's not surprising and it's not the 1st time that we have seen was installed by the us in 2003. it's pushed back by some nice and secular and

coding and christian intervention with the forum to bunch of came from the us or from iran or from so or whatever. so we have seen, you know, manifestations of, of the, like national, the rocky movement and iraq to movement throughout the year. and this is the most recent manifestation. i think the supporters of the, to the, for the a sample of how the majority of iraqis feel about the current political situation that it's presented and to the production to this functionality of the system. and there are. busy cause for a complete, you know, the whole of the, of the system not just fight over who's the next prime minister it's, it's the biggest question. the question of governance, question presentation. the question or how to fix many of the root causes that had

led the country. all right, i'm just saying, you know, even the fight over who's next time. it's about how about who's the next president . you have to have a president in order to have a prime minister. all right, so the whole system has broken down. has it not? it has. i mean honestly, if you ask me, i think the system has been broken for over 2 decades. it doesn't work from the beginning, but yes, the fact that we have to have a president who's could this, a prime minister was, and head the bottom to sidney. and who have from these, you know, like the entrance behind closed doors. have dr. present the will of there are 2 people that have not present the interest of the rocky people and they have been beholden to foreign or like on the us over for the board. so this is a presentation of a lot of them so that her how me yes, i have a lot here because yes,

go ahead. so i agree with what was saying, of course, but i think that the reason why why this credit is happening now and what seems to depart from previous ones. and especially from the machine protests, is actually that these demonstrations are very much in the driven for sure. there are people in the streets that are able to voice their frustration as well. but the reason why they're occupying parliament right now is because so those has encouraged that. and i think that at the moment the tensions there are playing out are type of show a force on part of. ready political leach that are no longer able to come to a consensus like they have done every election since 2005. and so that was the one we could say that in a way instigated and i'm really like that. i can i just push for

a moment cuz i want our audience to be always up to speed as you will or the outside or so we put together some, some points, but can you add to them as we share them with our audience about him? so they know a little bit more about where we come from, why he's so important in this conversation. so we thought with him being a populous sheer leader, what more do you want to add to that? sure. so i mean, the reason why with ambition what we in iraq sometimes called the sheer house, why solder kind of stands apart from many of the other. she leaders is really his, his background. so 1st of all, he is the son of a very then influential cleric. he is one himself and although he might not have the credentials for being a grand total of for him. so he has great political ambitions, as we have seen. and the other main difference is also that,

apart from the others, many of whom during the saddam regime, spent years in exile, whether neuron or the or the west father's family were largely remaining in a walk. and so he also draw his populace credentials from, from this context. ok. he's also, i would say the, the one sheet leader that probably has the most loyal base. and the reason for that is because many of his voters were his constituents come from a very poor, kind of socio economic background. all right, let me just bring back a mom a mom you've been reporting from the parliament building. and i want to go by your twitter feed because the pictures you've been taking a fascinating. so he, on twin, i've got federal establish service tense to provide food and drink for a sit in front of parliament building. it seems that it's going to be going on or taking days, and these pictures are fascinating. this is not an accidental. sitting. there is

a plan here tell us more about the protesters and who is citing with outsider and also counter protests at the same time. one 3rd, or i think he is the only the only man in the country. i want to ride his follower. the ports are like a supporter. and if you ask them to throw that a cell from the river, that will do this is how i felt, what was his supporters and all the i would say he's the only one has sort of puerto and, you know, the, the process started around 9 30 in the morning we, i was with them, i'll be break and the may, you will,

the 101030 and, and so by and see and that day was almost degree and i promise you inside the green. so there was no was the bucket of water . i don't know how people there by there was just a little was there or you know, like it was that the all the access for who would only actually was there. sorry. and it was eating that day. so basically each other is the organization. it's the, it's a bar full medical, so i have so many years and you have a profession unit for example, it has hundreds, probably thousands of on the profession that her food and drink for the

a my that is super super organized. and i want to go back to the point that we started with is that a rocks government being broken, it's not able to move forward. it's not able to galvan. what does that mean? right. i'd love you to have a listen to my saying, they spoke to us a little bit earlier about the impact of that being no government for at least 10 months. and many would argue that even longer, his mouth saying at the end of her video, which you respond, there has been to that a government for 10 months and that has had a huge impact on the everyday life citizens. one of the ways in which it has impacted citizens is that the government hasn't been able to provide better services to work on issues of unemployment and already that continue to accumulate and make life difficult for iraqis. in addition to that, there's issues of foreign policy because there are, doesn't have a government, they are unable to put on

a unified response to incursions on sovereignty. as we saw happen to the bombings in northern iraq. i agree to all of these points, all of the points are valid. the counter point is that iraq also has a dysfunction the government, but is unable to put the unified voice again for the pension or domestic challenges . even at the time that the rock has a prime minister and the president, and we saw that the 2 decades, the country has been one of the most corrupt the entire world. according to the transparency transmission, the national index of production, iraq has produced more than $2000000.00 of oil in the last 2 decades to trillion dollars. but more money than, you know, most of the world combined producing any sort of resources. but there are still

suffering with no basic services. no electricity, no water, no education, healthcare. so, so i mean, i think to this, i think the, the get in government is valid. but the govern government is not coming up. no worse. it's coming out of iraq. he's getting the point where they are asking for change. they understand that if that is a new prime minister with a said the school situation will continue to be the same as it was. and then after that, we just bring in the voice of shake alley was he is his famous as a protest, the he's been protesting for many years. he's now 18 years old and he explains why he continues to go out and protest. i'll let him explain that. that's one point for why the government in a rock is broken his, his perspective. and how people have been destroyed since 2003 and until this day, nothing has changed. politicians have not made any reforms. human beings should use

their brains. i say to our brothers in the parliament and the leaders, please use your brains. the people suffer from unemployment and a lack of health services. nothing has changed since 2003, nothing. i have participated in every protest. ha, ha, ha, ha ha. you can hear his frustration right there. i want to bring in another area of concern for why iraq is not working. and that is in fighting between cheer politicians. but he can you explain to us why that is such an important factor right now in government not being able to be full properly? well, the main reason for that is that this time when we have elections in october 2021, it was based on a new election law that some parties did not read very well in terms of what the outcome of that system would be. so the one who would benefit from that was the

southern party that came off, highest was $74.00 seats. and then was also a sunni alliance. and the biggest kurdish party, the k d p. and the rival sheer fractions among which the former prime minister, nordic, and monkey won some over 30 seats, but was, was way off from, from the number of sheets that he is able to, to garner in the past. and the reason for this is that the sheer house has expanded inside parliament over the last few years. and especially due to the war on i'm says that so several parties, late paramilitary groups come in to, to the political scene. and so now you know the amount to the actors, they're trying to share the cake of state revenue because this is really what it is about. what marcia was talking about was, i was mentioning the reason why the oil money does not benefit the people

is because all political actors in a walk, use government and parliament as a way of expanding their own patronage networks. usually they've been dividing government or cabinet sheets among them in order to get access to ministries from which they can extract revenues. well, you know, siphoning off a big deal of it was giving only very little to the people. and then on top of that, not investing in infrastructure that iraq bad leanings such as electricity such as health care, et cetera, et cetera. but i mean, what i very enlightening and in a way of listening to this man is that there's also in this crisis, which is a political one along a lease more than anything else. and one specifically, i would say, between 4 and his, his main viable. nobody at the key is that they are also taking advantage of people's frustration. ok, this is

a way for people to voice their grievances from inside the parliament building. but the reality is that this time around the demonstrations are not instigated, you know, organically, from the bottom which we saw in 2019, for instance. this is a way for, for the to say that this is a people's religion which it is not really, this is a way for him to escalate the situation. these are the, his, his rivals after he would do his parliamentarians without actually violence, at least so far. and so what was, why venge other in this, it was just that advance of his rival, this is exactly what it was. i can tell you it was personal hatred between him and money and this reflected all the on the street. the

also can call it a game of this. i'm sorry to say that, but it's absolutely exactly what happened. i think. yeah, i mean i think that's the main reason. alright, i love it when 2 rains well together. but let me be the conversation. traffic here like have go head and then i'm all come back to like go ahead. i guess i, i just wanted to get some more context. i'm not as, as absolutely right, but this is what is playing out now is really the tension between the monkey. but really the trigger of it is what happened in, in the few days in the few weeks prior to him calling for, for the 1st demonstration on wednesday. and that was for an audio week from us. suppose a conversation between monday can someone where he is literally accusing father of

plotting state takeover. and then the 2nd thing, the so called framework parties. so the other parties that are on the other side of . busy that but for the so called check coordination framework, they decided where he put it, which is hot. this is hard to follow in a very short conversation was the main point you want to make an a sentence before i move on. go ahead. the main point is that they nominated prime ministerial candidates mohammed shot through dani that is rejected by father . and would they not have done that? we might not have seen this escalation. they thought that they could count out further from the political process. got it. i am going to go back to via his twitter account, which is while this is a historic picture, got a chance to sit on the main table of parliament speaker. i sat silently in the middle of huge chaos. in that kyle, in this perhaps people's revolution,

are you hearing suggestions, ideas for government reform? well, i have no us plenty moments anyway, but i have so many commands or that the, even on my facebook date. and unfortunately, no one is telling me to go ahead. i mean, many said yes, but the majority of people said, this is the corrupt position. these are we was you did, i'm are to, they want you to run office. could you be the solution to iraq's issues? i will definitely make an issue with it's impossible. and fortunately i would say. 1 that the majority of the people who actually educated enough, who has,

who has the sense of responsibility for their own people. i'm not really good. this is one of the, the, the good people. they just know they far from like election a because they feel it's dominated by 2 and a. yeah. i, i hear that that's not, that's not uncommon with politics globally, particularly for iraq. i, i on stand for this particular moment where can't get a prime minister right now. i have once it all here, right? and i hope you will help us just wrap up the show with this. what is the best case scenario for iraq right now? is a question that comes from the chief watching this discussion, right? i mean the answer will take 2 hours, but in a nutshell, i would say the best kelvin, 2 minutes, i'm giving you 2 minutes, right? can you do it? i can my job. i'm talking to the dc,

so i would say like in 2 minutes that what iraq you have been asking for for the last 2, the case is very clear. it's not confusing. it's not utopian. iraq is the needs. and she and christians and couldn't have been asking for keel demand and corruption and security and some of the country that are very clear road maps out there that were published over and over again by you know, multiple iraq just a bit society and put it to computers and listening to what there are 2 people. one is the best case scenario, ending the 16 divisions and quarter system is the best case scenario. getting rid of the contract, politicians will get paid tens of thousands of dollars a month without living in the country. is the best case scenario, biscuits scenarios. it's very curious and the roadmap to move iraq in the, in the right direction is key. and i think the post to be who are supported by iran in the u. s. and sometimes so that in this role and other new but

a countries and they have to let go, they have to let go of controlling the country for their own personal interests. and, you know, move away and cooper site and look rockies the country. the way that will actually present the will of maturity k, right? and i'm lucky, thank you so much right now and the current new cycle for our 20. we are covering the city and empowerment in iraq's parliament building. and now you've had some added information. how to understand that situation much better. let me give you one more place to visit and that is the twitter accounts of our 3 guess right. amma and lackey, thank you for your conversations and your questions on you chip. i will see you next time. thanks to watching everybody. ah
