Storyline:

Six months after the early parliamentary elections in Iraq demanded by the Iraqis, the winning political forces are still unable to complete the formation of the government that will run the country for the next four years.

Iraq faces a communication breakdown among the parties, which resulted in three failed attempts to elect a president for the country, and a continuation of the constitutional breach with no solution in sight.

Shot list:

SOUNDBITE (Dr. Salah Boshi – Strategy Expert):

“The reason behind the increased disputes and lack of rapprochement between the political forces, at least in the current stage, is the absence of a common vision. The communication breakdown among the political forces proved that they are incapable of managing the political file. This is a dangerous phase that affects the political system.”

SOUNDBITE (Dr. Aqil Al-Rudaini – Member of the Victory Coalition):

“The political process is still reluctant and there is a communication breakdown among the parties and blocks. Members of the Sadrist movement have explicitly declared not to participate in the upcoming meeting. We hope the other blocs understand the current political situation for the interest of the country and to proceed in the political process.”
