@HamzehKarkhi He and others, like Zebari, have the same talking points no matter the question or occasion. The most famous is this : "we have a social contract called the constitution" It is repeated so often, without the required context, that has become devoid of any meaning at this point.

Folded into 🇮🇶 #Iraq’s armed forces in 2016, the PMU still wields significant power.

With 200K fighters and a 3B USD budget, efforts to reshape the force challenge Baghdad’s control—and strain ties with Washington.

Today marks six years since Iraq’s October protest, one of the country's boldest democratic movements in modern history.
Its tragedy? Its purity made it intolerable to the system it dared to confront.
Soon: a piece on the logic of the violence it faced.

Iraq’s next election could deliver stability — or entrench old divides. https://t.co/1cS18BrDNl

Very delighted to share my latest analysis on Iraq's upcoming elections slated for November. Once again, the country faces a familiar test: reform vs. stagnation. https://t.co/zeB0aHnvQ3

[Amwaj.media @amwajmedia]

Despite being formally integrated into 🇮🇶 #Iraq’s armed forces in 2016, the PMU remain powerful and controversial.

With 200K fighters & 3B USD budget, reforming the force tests Baghdad’s authority—and Washington’s patience.

NEW: As pressure mounts to reform the #Iran-aligned PMU, its popular legitimacy in 🇮🇶 #Iraq remains a blind spot in security debates.

Western calls for disbandment ignore what makes the force so resilient.

Pleased to share my piece with @amwajmedia on why the PMF endures and what meaningful integration requires. #Iraq

@JAPANAmbIRAQ Everyone is expecting Japan to win reasonably comfortably, but I think it would be much more painful for the Samurai to secure a win. Let us pray for a tie, in the interest of the good relations between the two friendly countries :)
