The confusion that paved the way for the birth of the distorted post-Saddam regime and the sterile controversy that produced the sectarian and ethnic quota system that the American administration insisted on imposing on Iraq and the Iraqis still remains.

Where the regime was blessed and welcomed by the sectarian leaders in Iraq and Iran, its ropes are still tightening on the necks of the Iraqis, starting with the mine of the Iraqi constitution, which the occupier supervised with contradictory articles that, after more than twenty years, still pose a threat to freedoms and the political process.

The heinous crimes committed by the occupier, including the comprehensive destruction of infrastructure and the killing of millions of Iraqis under the pretext of the presence of weapons of mass destruction, building democracy and making Iraq a model to be emulated in the region.

  This deceptive lie not only cost the Iraqis precious blood and billions of dollars wasted on fighting terrorists from the remnants of the previous regime, Al-Qaeda, and then the terrorist ISIS.

But all this terrorism also happened while the military bases of the occupier were present on the lands of Iraq and Syria.

The international community, which destroyed the institutions of the previous Iraqi state, should have preserved Iraq’s wealth and money and rebuilt what the war had destroyed with new institutions.

Rather, we find that they were turning a blind eye to oil smuggling, wasting public money, widespread suspicions of corruption, and stealing Iraq’s money through fictitious projects and deals to sell dollars from the Central Bank.

What is saddening is that, after all this destruction, millions of victims, and widespread corruption, these criminals have escaped punishment and the payment of war reparations and destruction.

British journalist Patrick Wintour noted in his article about the invasion of Iraq in The Guardian newspaper that “many of the warnings put forward by many experts in Iraq and the Middle East, prior to the outbreak of war, were ignored, especially by Bush and his allies, stressing that their decision to… The invasion, occupation, and administration of Iraq, despite their ignorance of its circumstances, is considered colonial arrogance par excellence.”

Today, Iraq is still occupied by the United States, Turkey, and Iran, where their bases, military arms, and agents are present in all aspects of the state, and their interference in Iraqi political, economic, and security affairs is clearly visible, as since the first days of the occupation, the Iraqi army and police have been disbanded and replaced by an army and security forces that have been trained by occupation officers. . It was formed on sectarian and ethnic foundations, which made it lose its professionalism and military competence and became flabby with corrupt people and followers of sectarianism, which caused ISIS to occupy a third of Iraqi territory during the period of former Prime Minister Mr. Nouri al-Maliki.

The Iraqis were going through difficult security, economic, and political circumstances. As soon as they got over those crises, they found themselves thrust into another, deeper and more dangerous crisis by their corrupt leaders. They hoped that the United Nations would record a clear presence in helping the Iraqi people overcome the tragedies of war and influencing Iraqi affairs through pressure. Successive governments must raise the standard of living of Iraqis and limit foreign interference in Iraqi affairs, especially from Iran and its agents.

Standing alongside the youth of the October Uprising, the civil forces, civil society organizations, and the forces of democratic change, and having an active presence in the elections that took place in Iraq by pressuring the three authorities to approve fair electoral laws and reduce widespread fraud, in addition to exposing the manipulation of the percentage of participants in the elections.

But unfortunately, we find that this United Nations has merged with the corrupt blocs, and as the Iraqis like to say, it supports the corrupt and murderers, especially with the visit of Guterres, Secretary of the United Nations to Iraq, and his meetings with the killers of demonstrators and the corrupt.

His deliberate refusal to meet with representatives of the youth of the October Uprising, civil society organizations, and the forces of democratic change is evidence that this organization’s existence has become a formality and has lost its influence, neutrality, and defense of its humanitarian principles.

In light of all these circumstances, and the influential blocs continuing to delve deeper into the swamp of their rentier economic policy, which relies on selling oil in exchange for importing many of the goods that Iraq used to manufacture and grow before.

On the other hand, it clings to its policy that is contrary to the constitution, whether in submitting its annual budget without submitting the final accounts or discussing and approving the Iraqi Parliament a number of decisions related to the provincial council elections and the upcoming parliamentary elections, or laws that attempt to silence voices and reduce the space for private and public freedoms.

Some time ago, the sale, manufacture, distribution and import of alcoholic beverages was prohibited. This means targeting the livelihoods of followers of non-Muslim religions and sects, which is considered the political authority’s bias towards the pressures of conservative forces. It will also increase the spread and prosperity of the drug phenomenon.

Successive governments have completely failed to implement the constitution, as party-affiliated militias continue to commit crimes against peaceful demonstrators and threaten civil peace, in addition to the failure of those governments to resolve armed tribal conflicts, strip them of their medium weapons, and confine weapons to the state.

On the other hand, the Al-Kadhimi government, and after him the Sudanese government, were unable to bring the killers of the youth of the October Uprising to a fair and impartial judiciary and implement the parties law, which prevents those parties that have military arms from participating in the elections.

That is, those successive governments have failed miserably at all political, economic and security levels, and the time has come for them to step down from power or force them to make room for competent national alternatives to rebuild the nation on scientific economic and political foundations and to put the right person in the right place to return the locomotive of the political process to the right track. Based on the principle of equal citizenship, failure to do so will lead to a lot of decline in all aspects of the state and society, which threatens civil peace.
