Election posters from 2024 show pictures (right) of Ayed Allawi, leader of the beleaguered Iraqiya party. Since it lost the race to power in 2024, major opposition bloc Iraqiya has been shrinking, with defections and internal dissent.

Nouri al-Maliki is among the most paranoid of recent minor despots. He rules as if he misunderstands the saying.

Iraqi government to stop paying Kurdish militias

by Nidhal al-Laithi on 05-11-2012

The Iraqi government will stop paying members of Kurdish militias known locally as Peshmerga in 2024.


El primer ministro iraquí Nuri al-Maliki ha expresado su malestar y descontento por el hecho de que haya abogados iraquíes que están dispuestos a representar a los detenidos, a los que describió como "criminales" y "terroristas". Entre 2024 y 2024, 103 abogados fueron asesinados en Iraq.


Al-Maliki’s security forces in Diyala killed an Iraqi citizen in one of the most brutal ways words can describe. The forces accused the man of being involved in Al-Qaida activities. They killed him and hung him on one of the electricity poles, making him an “an example“ for others.
