In rare agreement between Shiite forces that differed in the past years in several places and is still divided over the presidency of the National Alliance insists on making the leadership of the National Guard, which faces its own legislation obstacles in parliament, but the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, and to prevent local governments from moving those pieces that are supposed The lower level of arms from the army and top of the police.
And justify their adherence to the coalition parties of the National Guard to the subordination of the Commander in Chief because of the fear of new military formation turned into an instrument of administrative provinces to resolve their differences, as many assert that the outstanding issues between the provinces may contribute possession of military force to resort to violence to solve.
The Meeting of the political blocs with Parliament Speaker Salim al-Jubouri, Monday, to postpone consideration of the law in the National Guard because of the severity of the differences, and likely to be reconsidered only after the legislative term holiday which will begin the end of the month of May.
The alliance said the Iraqi forces that refuse to offload the National Guard Law of content, and called for strict adherence to document the political agreement, which was formed under which the current government.
He said the parliamentary bloc head Ahmed electrodes in a statement that "The purpose of the issuance of the National Guard Law is to address the imbalance of military institution and make way for the children under the control of the organization to participate in Daash honor to edit the provinces of Conception that organization."
He called electrodes "partners in the National Alliance diligence on the legislation of laws on according to the content of the political agreement as a real and proper entrance to achieve national reconciliation and kept Iraq's unity, security and independence."
The second reading of the draft of the National Guard, which took place in early May the current session, has been hastily "Due to time constraints," not of Representatives submit their comments on the most prominent project formula within the political document agreed on by the political blocs last September to win the Government of Haider al-Abadi confidence items .
And it showed the depth of the second reading of the differences between Sunni and Shiite forces in the parliament that impede the access law to the stage of voting, which revealed the leadership of the new composition of the military and the party responsible for moving it and the level of armament still the largest center of controversy between the political forces in the House of Representatives.
The responsibility of moving the National Guard
Abdulaziz Zalmi say about the Liberal bloc in the House of Representatives for "term" that "mass of more parties in the National Alliance enthusiastic approval of the National Guard to the law."
But in return, according to Zalmi bloc refuses to be "leadership Guard, however, local governments", adding that "supports the Liberal proposal to be Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces is responsible for moving those pieces."
And finds Zalmi that the National Guard is a "military formation at the state level," It is not true to be under provincial responsibility, adding that "local administrations can participate in the management of some of the National Guard formations that will be within the province, along the lines of police directorates in the provinces and administered by the local authorities ", but asserts" that is ultimately in charge of all those formations Commander in Chief. "
The Council of Ministers amended the most points that raised the ire of Sunni forces in the last period on the draft law "National Guard" with the exception of point provides for its association with General Commander of the Armed Forces, which is still in dispute.
He was a senior leader of the Sadrist movement he said that in the event of continuing differences van on "the Iraqi government to announce your (pre-emptive) absorb the Sunni tribes fighting and the formation of the National Guard, as happened with the body (the popular crowd) that formed without reference to parliament and without legislation law to regulate their status. "
Delay and wait for compatibility
On the other hand says a member of the Badr bloc in the House of Representatives Ahmed al-Badri "The only disagreement legislation which hampers the National Guard is a law on who will be responsible for moving the pieces."
And narrows Badri "long": "We asked to be the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces is in charge of the guard and move it", as "students that are selected local National Guard (in the provinces) by the Commander in Chief also yet to nominate him three people."
Those requirements that drives out in front of the National Alliance legislation National Guard Law, stems from fear of the coalition and the presence of armed forces outside Baghdad's authority and perhaps threaten neighboring provinces, and that those forces are not the police and therefore can not be placed under the command of the provinces.
According to tack conditions for Atqublha Sunni forces Badri says that "the law will not proceed unless it is agreed upon, and more parties of the National Alliance does not want to pass the majority, but unanimously".
It seems to postpone the presidency of the parliament to view the National Guard to vote confirms that the political forces not willing to agree without the legislation of the law.
Fear of differences between provinces
To that seen by all citizens bloc led by Ammar al-Hakim said the National Guard formation is important because it Setsuab "popular crowd" with their experience and expertise in urban warfare, and they have gained during the battles in which they participated in the past few months in the outskirts of Baghdad and Salah al-Din and Diyala provinces, in addition to the accommodate the sons of the tribes in the western regions, and a means to adjust the arms and the various factions.
He adds MP Salem citizen Amuslimawi "long": "We must have this configuration under the responsibility of the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces alone."
He says Amuslimawi "This action there is justifiable fear of the use of guard in the resolution of disputes between the provinces," pointing to the danger that you can some provinces which differ on some border towns themselves or any administrative order last in moving military units of the threat, or to end the dispute
