Hope is that beyond the elite, it can lead to a greater investment in the grass roots sport with gills at Primary School age and beyond. Not just having access, but affording, to train at the early club. Sometimes its not free for them academies linked to premier ship clubs when it is for boys. So a bit of a quantity is whats been also a bit more respect and a bit more Financial Stability for the professional players so that they can dedicate themselves to the sport. And if there are any questions about the quality that they offer, i think this tournament has really got rid of those questions. Ah, this is al jazeera, and these are the top stories.

That we reject corruption and corrupt politicians, sudanese a tool in the hands of foreign powers. He and his colleagues work against iraq. He wont do anything for our benefit. Im on a hobby. We wont leave until we kick those corrupt politicians out of iraq approve iranian book called the Coordination Framework has nominated mohammed t as with any for play and minister.

So saturdays parliamentary session had been dedicated to electing a new president , followed by the naming of a Prime Minister, who would then form a new government. All that is now on hold, giving the rival politicians at chairs to meet. But these protesters are worried that m p s could hold an unannounced session to approve su danny.

Ah. All right, lets go ahead and bring in our guests. In durham, as they do, and can any nonresident fellow at the arab center, washington d. C. In back that marcia in a summary, as a Research Fellow at Harvard Kennedy schools, middle east initiative and into iran hammond, was harvey, a professor of Political Science at the university of to her on a warm welcome to you all. And thanks so much for joining us. Today on inside story are seen. Let me start with you today. First i want to ask you who exactly are these protesters . Are the protesters that are currently engaged in this sit in in parliament, the ones who are occupied parliament are they only supporters. Amongst other us other and is what they are seeking, representative of what other it archies want. This is a very unfortunate lesson because i think its very relevant to how impactful these protests are and how much effect theyll have under uh, going forward. Dansville replaced and predominantly they are the followers to the center, but there are other iraqis in walton these protesters, and we might expect more to join later on. But the vast majority of them are addressed. But their, their demands do resonate to some degree with the rest of the rest of the country and other iraqis, for example, where they resonate will strongly isnt this called or ending corruption. And bringing those warcraft to accountability, where they may be less resonant with their rockies as their demands for another set of early elections for an intern governmental that happens. And perhaps even for the rewriting of the constitution. So in some lazy speak to the majority of iraqis, but in other ways their demands, particularly for early elections, my actually in your, the public more than a more than bring them together. They do. Is there any kind of a solution that can be reached to get beyond this current political, stale made and also how much is the the rivalry between former Prime Minister nori mulky and most of us other driving all of this . Well firstly, the solutions could be between the Coordination Framework and the subjects movement seems to be very difficult for the past few months, due to rivalries and very old rivalries. As you mentioned, the one between a former Prime Minister, monarchy and the other neither suggest moving. However, monarchies potential for any candidacy towards the Prime Minister road has been very limited or almost abolished after the neat audio where he criticized. Hes very on allies within the coordination of framework, who have been for months negotiating with others to keep or maintain and my, the key. So then the coordination pretty much. So the crisis here has not only become a crisis or disputes between 2 different ortiz, but it has also to lead into internal disputes within the very same parties themselves, such as the Coordination Framework, which is also why were probably not noticing or witnessing any Strong Political or even on grounds response from the Coordination Framework due to the schism or the, or the fragmentation that took place after the weeks. The movement or the suggest leader is currently focusing on how to create obstacles for the Coordination Framework and shorting. I wont take them a short time or an easier time to form a governments which he failed to do for the past 10 months. Similar to the obstacles they presented to his coalition with k. D. P hammered. How is the iranian government viewing . What is playing out in the off right now and, and what is iran position when it comes to whats happening . I think iran does not want to unrest in iraq. I dont think it serves the wrong interest. I dont think it serves iraqs interest as while your aunts position is that all the actions in iraq should respect to democratic process sides or fail to form a coalition government. And i think he should now provide an opportunity for the opposition to do to attempt to form a coalition government. Why i think many people support the goals of the protesters. I dont think sit in and protest will actually achieve the goals they are looking for. Now i know that there are a lot of discussions among the protesters about interference, about your on interfering in iraqs affairs. In reality, i think this is mostly a rivalry between domestic ah, you, rocky groups and domestic. You, rocky parties are you want, does enjoy some actual lot of not some, but maybe considerable influence in iraq. But that doesnt mean that you wanted interfering in iraq. The affairs. So i think ultimately this is mostly a rivalry between domestic political groups in iraq. Marcin, you may have heard, they dont moment to go talk about fragmentations going on in political blocks right now. And i dont want to ask you from your vantage point. Do you believe that looked at that . So theres rivals in the pro iran coordination of framework block. Do you believe that theyre showing signs of any internal divisions . Im asking that because, you know, its been reported on the one hand, that there are some leaders in that block that want to see dialogue go forth. And there are other Leaders Within that block that, that would like to see counter demonstrations yet. Lets go back. Actually a few weeks back to when i looked at the sender was still invested in the political process and in creating a government. And at that time, something that was very telling was that in his pursue of the majority and opposition government, he actually did reach out to certain segments of the Coordination Framework. Namely, almost everyone but former Prime Minister knew mankey in order to get them on his side and to collaborate with them and to marginalize nike in the process. So what we see here is their unwillingness to step away from the Coordination Framework and to form an alliance with other back then, which actually speaks to their remarkable um, a connectedness in their remarkable degree of united nist that theyre showing at this point this, i dont think is really based on any ideology but more of a calculation that united they are a threat or they are mincie powerful when put up against most of the southern. But if they go to his side than it we can some individually. So i think thats a calculus that they made back when the offer was even more and more attractive than it is right now. And i think right now we do see different kinds of messages from different leaders in the Coordination Framework. But they dont seem to be messages that are countervailing messages. And anyway, so mostly they have been calling for the progression of public property for a dialogue and for really doing things within the outlines of, of, of the law and of procedures that are trained in the state. So they, they do represent a somewhat united front and we cant really expect them to be more united than this because they are a group of very powerful individuals, some of paramilitary groups who have been accustomed to being independently strong actors. So theyre, its a multi polar kind of set up the Coordination Framework rather than the hedge. A monic are you to pooler with. Busy nike at the top, they dont, is it any surprise to you that for those other supporters were able to Enter Parliament and that they are able to stay there now and from your perspective, how long might we see parliament occupied by these protesters . Not at all. Unfortunately, the reality in iraq is that most of the Political Parties were the armed doings, as mentioned by my team, are people that are able to, to infiltrate them, bypass many security on that, you points. And this is a very easy one, comparing them to the october 2019 process movement. When protesters tried to access a few bridges, that would lead them to, to have a square, which is a public score. And they were met with Political Violence either from the Political Parties that are currently in dispute today, or from their own doings, or from a 3rd party. As the governmental media likes to refer to them to push away or hideaway accusation from the Political Parties involved in assassinating these protesters. Unfortunately, the Political Parties and disputes are lost, which is the for the nation framework. And the address movement equally are able to, to bypass an email to checkpoint and, and face any governmental premises and enter any governmental building without fixing the similar consequences that were faced by the Peaceful Protesters. Harmon, how did the relationship between a souther and iran get so bad . What went wrong . But actually sandra has spent considerable time in iran, especially in the city of old, in the past 2 decades. He has repeatedly are come to iran. He even met your own Supreme Leader numerous times in the past decade its, its very difficult to tell exactly what went wrong. One theory is that most that are, that is the person who he changes his mind very frequently. Another reason perhaps can be that he had a quite Good Relationship with cost, and so the money are after his death, perhaps thats not existing anymore. But ultimately i think hes a person whos hes very neurotic in he seems to be changing his mind very frequently. But in the past year, i think relations between iran and my dad has become very bad marcin. How involved is iran right now in, in the dark . Obviously they, theyve been involved in it up for a long time. But is it a more hands off approach at the moment, or is there a lot of pressure being brought to bear on or off by iran right now . Well, when government formation was still under way in the sense that most of us others. Ready invested in it, there was iranian involvement in the sense of the fanatic of pressure and presence in order to get the various groups in iraq to come to an agreement on simply because of how long it was taking at iran will always have influence to some degree in iraq, but this particular government formation cycle, i think, for an intervention and iraqi politics has been less than usual, not nonexistent. What is interesting though, is basically moved to the southern bid to form a majority government with his kurdish and with the ne allies was something that was supported by a lot of arab countries and in the region. And we see that their intervention, the trying to push this through has failed. So there are, there are various foreign actors were invested in the outcome of iraq selection and government from asian. They do. How concerned are you right now that that old could slide into real civil strife . I mean, what are the chances this could get much worse and that violence could play out in the days or months ahead. 6 a lot of the ongoings or former arms wings that belong to a lot of the Political Parties, whether it be the subject movement for the will. Within the Coordination Framework, we do have a history of an armed complex, particularly when we talk about the, the traditional that their story called monarchy and further rivalry existed since 2006 when some of the, the Political Parties with them. The coordination trademarks listed out of the sledges movement in the early stages of the use invasion. So there is a history of civil strife. However, the possibility might be a bit lower than in the early stages of the us invasion. There are more platforms of dialogue. There are one Political Parties and political individuals that are very powerful. And today the rock that would rather continue or take this forward in a peaceful dialogue because the rock is going. Ready through a sense of sober 29 team kotis goldman, the political system or the Political Class of 2003 iraq is going through a very drastic transition period where it is determined whether this political system will survive. Whether this ethnic civilian political system will survive, it has been questioned by the rising political consciousness of the use of the civil society. International community is also realizing the alarming effects of the failures of medical class towards education of the goods of mac services and the sovereignty of the rocket borders, including the, the, the, the alarming impacts on iraq, the sovereignty from equally from different Regional Power players, including iran. Ready so this is certainly an issue that will be considered, and the long term, however, there will be more platforms of dialogue. Dot could ensure that this crisis is not political than it really relates to that my daily lives within iraq. Or this i Just Movement does by the hearts and minds. So many people across the spectrum when it comes to nationalism and reform. But in reality, as we noticed and the lowest bolter turned out since the, the, the establishment of the current iraqi democratic system, it proves that most iraqis, the non affiliate and so call these Political Parties. And they do not affiliated themselves from this political system. And they hope to see a different political system, as they dont as interesting, youre bringing up all these mass protests that happened in 2019 i was in baghdad. I covered covered many of those protests in october, november of that year in 2018 and i encountered so many members of these youth protestors who said they had no faith in the government whatsoever. They wanted a complete overhaul of the political system. Im curious, get your perspective if you think that there is a chance that we might see mass protests again, like what we saw in 2019 there is the possibility that we will witness some of the must protest. However, unfortunately, the be, be the focus for the, the momentum of the process movement has lowered due to a lot of distractions that dragged away the attention from the protest movement. And it also created a lot of pessimism amongst the rocky youth. As you probably recall. Ringback right after the, shortly after the breakout of the, of over 2900 post this movement, we went just a lot of the stabilizing events that took place whether it was the assassination of awesome. So the money, whether it was the Political Violence attempts connected by the ongoings of the Political Parties within the Iraqi Government towards the Peaceful Protesters or the political. Ready favors and ensuring to create a caretaker government that would be different from the similar faces from the similar Political Parties and Interest Groups that the people initially revolted against from the 1st place. So this might be just another event or incident or another series of incidents that will distract the people. Pull the people away from giving them hope. Change is off the boat by only protesting, however, currency its on the. Ready the boulders in the course of the Political Parties, none are trying and one way or another to save this political system. However, if you have players such as most of the father who would like to redefined the political system under his own terms for objectives, he had signed a very long. Hm. And what steps do you think well see iran take if, if what is happening now in doc escalates and if it causes serious instability. I think this is happening at a very sensitive time for here on i dont think you are once this unrest to continue. Youre on is currently engaged in very sensitive negotiations on its Nuclear Issue with the united states. Its also engaged in negotiations with saudi arabia where iraq is actually hosting these negotiations. So i think these on rest are actually happening at a very bad time for you on and i think you on once these on rest to end as soon as possible. I nevertheless, i dont think iran has the necessary influence in the necessary tools to end this. I think youre on well try to negotiate and facilitate negotiation between the 2 sides. But as i said before, i think the relationship between iran and most adult sandra has the terrier deteriorated in the past year. Ah, go on, you. Which is the new ahead of the puts force of your on my, he doesnt join the same kind of relationship that so they mani. Enjoyed with not that are sad. So i think ultimately you on has to engage with some sort of negotiation with mazda dad sat there to fix the situation. Marcin briefly, i want to ask you about them. How bad is the situation currently for ordinary adoptee citizens . I mean, were talking about a political stalemate, were talking about a political crisis. But how is all this impacting a citizens in a country where there is such high unemployment or where theyve not been able to approve a budget . Where theres joblessness, where people are so frustrated . How bad are things getting for normal every day . Average adopters. Last and months of honestly been excruciating for the average iraq, each because of the lack of government. And as you said, the lock up budget, there hasnt really been any room to implement any improvements in terms of services or to be able to provide for employment through private sector and sadly through Public Sector as well, which is an advisable iraqis do look. Busy such, so every day citizens are quite fed up with the impasse, it has been the longest and passenger on those 2003 history. So. Busy busy it is making life really difficult for everyone, particularly as the climate crisis, as here are, are really hard with continuous sound storms occurring on a several times a month that has made everyday life very, very difficult when it comes to this actual protest movement and its effect on everyday life, to be honest, its effect on traffic and on the streets. And that hasnt been very noticeable. Theres been less people outside of their homes than usual, but the city, the hiler and the cities really is really contained to the areas around the international. So all right, we have run out of time, so were going to have to leave our conversation there. Thanks so much. All of our guests. They do not can any much seen a, somebody and home. It was awful.
