a government. there are some old rivalries between the party lead us southern one of them naughty molly, p the full and prime ministers, another one. and since the election last year, these parties could not agree on the formation of a government. those sometimes came pretty close to it. and one of the reasons is that certain elements of how to form a government have never been defined in the constitution. and the dialogue to solve this issue has failed. and in a way, in the rock, everyone needs to conduct a dialogue all the time. it's all based on negotiations. and in the end, the one who prevails is the one who can demonstrate the most effectively and the most impressively, that he's not bluffing and walked out of sort of want to, to, to show that he's not bluffing. that all his is ultimatums that he has opposed to the other part of the political parties are not vain. she can you tell us more about cultural sada, and his support is what is it that they want to achieve in the country? they moved us out as one of the most remarkable and interesting characters in

middle east and politics. in general. he's the initially not very charismatic son of a, of a she. i told her very respect that she, i told her who has fought the americans, who has led a, an army called the jason mighty like a rebel force against the american occupation. he entered the rocky politics. he's a very unpredictable person in a way. some people have described, missouri being pro iran than he distance himself on iran, whereas he was always travelling to iran and keeping ties with. he told us in iran, so he's a very complex character, but i think he, he has a nationalist agenda. the only problem is he's probably very good at leading and inciting people to follow him. but in the end, the management of government, the management of takes in iraq is a very complex issue. and that's not something that he seems to have a great appetite in. so he always remains a political stakeholder. he always remains even in government. he has ministers in office, but at the same time he sees himself as the representative of the iraqi people will be rocky street. and so he's government and opposition at the same time,

which is not unusual for iraq, but the way that he conducts it is quite remarkable. he said that the management of politics is very complicated in iraq. it's been more than 10 months now since the elections there. why haven't iraq leaders and all that time being able to form a government of the what is interesting in the iraq as there is a tradition of peaceful transfer of power. so not, i wouldn't say that the political lead us want to eat the cake and have a to they, they are willing to compromise, to a certain extent. but there is a culture of being part of the government and being part of the decision making process. but not wanting to assume any responsibility. so the decision that discussion has been around should be form and the government of national unity, where everyone is at the table. and everyone has a word to say, or should we have a majority government where you have a position that is in way ousted from the, from the political decision making process. and the rocky culture has not reached that point to understand that at some point you need to have

a majority government because the government is responsible and you may have an opposition that is challenging and monitoring the government. but it does not part of the power sharing process, and that is something that the, the political leaders have failed to agree on. can i ask you how much of a role have a foreign interest such as iran or the united states, played and influencing the current situation? my view iran is not most looked at us or has been described as a nationalist, anti iranian leader. and his opponents and she can have been described as pro rainy . and i think it's far more complex than that. iran entertains ties with all the political leaders in the country. virtually suddenly she are chords, they're not only supporting the she and they have invested in various players in the field. and the can have been withdrawn from the political process and the rock for some time. but they have still like a word to say, traditionally us interest. and the us advice, let's say, of the us ambassador has always influence the political decision making process. and they have very strong ties to the security apparatus. so the u. s. is still

a play in the field. so are the united nations that are more and more perceived as also political play in the field. and many iraq is still feel that they are under occupation because they don't have agency over over the political game in iraq. and that led to a big disenchantment of the iraq street and the so called iraqi political class on the other side. fascinating, uncomplicated, at the same time tanya gala, thank you so much. thank you for having me and that's all we have time for next german leaders meeting to tackle soaring energy costs. stuff coming up in business with a problem by monday. cuz can joining us, ah ah, canada, by that time and in the end, if you are not allowed to see you anymore, we will send you back. are you familiar.
