Alsharqiya channel hosted Dr. Nahro Mohammad AbdulKarim, the secretary-general of the CINU and the president of Coalition of National Unity CNU on Friday, 26/6/2009 AD, in the program (dialogue), the meeting characterized by frankness and insight of the CINU secretary-general where he dotted the i's and crossed the t's thru conscious diagnosing of what Iraq is suffering from negative phenomena, he explained his political, security and service views and the effective solutions to those problems and drawbacks, and drew a road map to every Iraqi jealous of Iraq, and here to follow what was going in the program:
Dr. Nahro , descendent of a Sufi family and political action
Program presenter:
Dr. Nahro, you’re a descendent of a known Sufi family, being the son of Sheik Mohammad AbdulKarim Alkasnazan Alhuseini the chief of the Aliya Alqaderiya Alkasnazanya way in the world, does this lineage have anything to do with your political stream, and whether you entered the political sphere by intention or for religious motives?
Dr. Nahro:
In the name of Allah, the Magnificent, the Merciful
To begin with, we are honored by being descendants of a family with religious Sufi background as it represents a true moderation in Islam and the family is religious of Husaini Decent, namely, descent goes back to our master Al- Hussein (peace be upon him), and the way is Qaderia bent, so we realized that we must have our own course in political life, because we think that every human should have a way in life and religion, and thus should divide the tasks and works between its course in life and society and between his way in religion, being the main constituent of any human.
We, and according to this conception, have taken, beside the family Sufi method, a political national approach after we realized that political process in Iraq is stalled, and that the ambition of Iraqi people is greater than those adhered to it so far. In view of this painful situation for the Iraqi citizen, we found it incumbent upon us to shoulder our part in protecting all components of the Iraqi people, and attempt to provide what we can do to the people in terms of services, occupation and politics…to ensure a decent living and the national unity for him, because he suffered from political strife waged among the parties that adopted the principle of allocation as a means to seize power and appropriate offices.
The relation between religious approach and political work:
Presenter:
How religious life had impacted you as a person, and what is the relevance between religion and politics from your viewpoint?
Dr. Nahro:
We, at the CINU, believe in separation between religion and state, that is, from any political work, but that does not mean at all - God forbid – to play down the importance of religion, instead to maintain its reverence as the supreme sacred truth among the entire mass of believers, but though it needs to keep a distance from any politicization.
We conceive that political work should stay independent from any religious orientation because the Iraqi society is made up of different religions; there is, for instance, the Christian, the Sabian, the Yazidi, and other existing constituents, and we, as Muslims, believe in our religion and respect the people of other religions which constitute in whole what is called the (mosaic of Iraqi society), therefore, we see that religious theme shall have its own regard and subjective position among us and thus must be separate totally from political work in order not to mingle papers and not exercise discrimination at the expense of the homeland and citizenship, but for what is claimed by some parties on the scene, of affiliation to religion or being named after its various designations, then, and as felt by all, this affected the religion and its principles as average citizen cannot differentiate between the deeds of these people and between the true religion which came only to maintain the dignity of people and regulate their relation with their creator.
Place of birth, rearing and their impact on the political culture of Dr. Nahro:
Presenter:
You were born in Kirkuk, and brought up in Baghdad, how this origin had affected your political culture and experience in this domain?
Dr. Nahro:
Yes, I was born in Kirkuk, raised in Baghdad, and lived in Iraqi Kurdistan as a citizen, originally we belong to the ancestry of the right honorable prophet Mohammad, peace of Allah be upon him.
Historically, among the first who inhabited the Iraqi Kurdistan was our great grand father Mr. Sheikh Issa Albarzanji and his brother Mr. Sheikh Musa Albarzanji when they migrated from the Arabian Peninsula in Abbasids era, then they went to Hamadan and from there thru a mountainous range reached the Iraqi Kurdistan 800 years ago, and landed in a region that took on their name, namely, Barzanja meaning in Kurdish language (the place where lofty people live), and the first school for the family Barzanja, a Mustafawi family, was established to become a platform for religion, Sufism , illumination and knowledge.
Our early life was in Baghdad, where we grew up in the Baghdadi atmosphere, and continued our academic life with all stages in Baghdad, all that had left that Baghdadi print on our life at large.
However, you can say that I am Arab in origin, Kurdish in birthplace and Huseini in ancestry, but we do not want to be specified in that as the family of prophet belongs to all nationalities and classes.
We are from Iraq and to Iraq; whether we were Arabs, Kurds, Sunnis and Shiites, or Turkmen we are all one.
Coalition of Iraqi National Unity and the next elections
Presenter:
What is the CINU scheme, especially concerning the next elections?
Dr. Nahro:
The CINU is a coalition for the entire one Iraqi people, and among the principles we embrace: Iraq identity and unity, as we deal with all political groups and will continue doing so on the basis of these principles and invariants we embrace.
We have our own vision, and alliances with political powers, and our doors are open before all national political powers that believe in Iraq unity and identity. Our supreme goal is to build Iraqi citizen, defend their rights, and provide a decent living, security and the needs of services for them.
Coalition and its attitude from Al-Maliki Government:
Presenter:
You took part in the first parliamentary elections, but you did not participated in the government, is the reason that you had not enough votes to qualify for an office therein?
Dr. Nahro:
On the contrary, we were called to be an important part of the government but we declined because it was bases on allocation, and allocation is a scheme that would eventually lead to partition of Iraq on sectarian or ethnic grounds and for this we refused to be a partner or party in a government founded on allocation.
We believe in a democratic Iraq and this is what has been agreed upon by everyone, but we were taken aback by the presence of another scheme leading to partition of Iraq, breaking up its national unity and weakening it thru allocation, for this reason we declined.
The most competent regime for Iraq:
Presenter:
Are you pro the call of Maliki to abandon democracy and return to the presidential regime?
Dr. Nahro:
We are with pairing between the two systems: parliamentary and presidential, this pairing has proved its worth in governance in many global models, as for example the French or British regimes.
Presenter:
How do you interpret this content, namely, pairing between the two regimes?
Dr. Nahro:
We can interpret that thru the division of powers between the parliament and presidential regime to become a new regime aimed to preserve the rights of all, protect them and fulfill what Iraqi citizen is aspiring for.
Now, and according to current allocation system, we see the worst performance in all ministries, as and because of allocation we find that there is a minister from certain bloc and an under-secretary from another while a general manger from a third bloc … this what we absolutely reject because it contributes enormously to the fragmentation and division of the country…
We, in a democratic unified Iraq, want to have an Iraqi minister, deputy and so down to minor staff, that is, to work in Iraqi spirit; this means he is working for Iraq not for being a member of a certain party or bloc or he is working for his respective party or bloc.
What is currently going on under the allocation system and in the name of democracy, is only nonsense and mere jest on Iraqi people, Iraq is too big to be for a party or a bloc.
Iraq has been, historically, and must remain for each patriotic Iraqi who wanted to serve his country, yet every Iraqi must shoulder a patriotic duty in protecting this country from which he acquires the identity and lives on its resources … and that the country's security and stability is the duty of every patriotic Iraqi by his location and status …
We, as a coalition, have activated our humanitarian and charitable institutions and offered what we could provide to each citizen according to his level of needs, but, and as everyone knows, these institutions are of limited resources no matter what aids they may give out. So, when we talk about a radical change in Iraq we must be a powerful part in the government or we who form the government to be able to provide what we embrace of service plans to the citizen so that he should enjoy what his country provides of supplies, treasures and resources.
The CNU and the formation of national unity government:
Presenter:
Do you have the intention to join the government after the next parliamentary elections?
Dr. Nahro:
The aim of any coalition is to form a government, and certainly we want to have a national government able to provide the best services to citizens and thereby they would have the sense that Iraq has become their own.
In the meantime there are four million displaced Iraqi, in addition to two million Iraqi emigrants – then who is being ruled by the government?
The government does not rule now but the institutions and their staff, and whoever belongs to army and police and the rest of security services.
If this government were ever a patriotic one it would have been able to give and hold up the citizen with the country's resources and provide decent living for him, and worked on the return of the displaced back to the country and the emigrants also to their places and houses, and provided services, subsistence capacity, and created employment opportunities.
Presenter:
Government calls upon the displaced to return to their places and homeland, how about that?
Dr. Nahro:
Fine, but if the question was just a calling, then we can assign one of the best singers to call in his beautiful voice for the return.
The question is not in forwarding an appeal, but a question of action and thus the government must develop a true plan to return the displaced and create work opportunities for them.
And we would like to direct our question thru Alsharqiya TV channel to the government and parties that formed thereof: why should the national income of Iraqi citizen be measured now in contrast with the weak countries, namely, equivalent to $9, while in the modest of neighboring counties this income comes up to $54 per day?
Where does the defect lie?
Do fortunes go into certain pockets?
Do work opportunities and investments are treated in a special way that keeps the Iraqi in vicious circle unable to find a job opportunity and remains stuck in unemployment?
All these are very important questions and the government should answer them by doing not by saying.
The spread of corruption phenomenon in all forms and the retreat of integrity:
Presenter:
Where does the defect lie in the question of corruption and integrity in your opinion?
Dr. Nahro:
Flaw is in the performance of ministries and in the allocation they adopted and by which Iraq has been transformed into a loot, where the greater part goes to so-and-so alliance or so-and-so party and other portion to party (2) each according to its designation, and thus far they proved that they misconceived allocation and did not conceived it on the basis of service provision, and took it as if it belongs to Iraq wealth, so somebody stole so much of billions and likewise the other, even that billions of dollars were missed between one city and another, all that encouraged corruption and surly when the minister finds his superior corrupt he will turn corrupt as a result and thus corruption will become rampant down to the doorkeeper of the ministry.
On questioning the ministers and procrastination therein:
Presenter:
What about the process of questioning the ministers and the beginning of procrastination?
Dr. Nahro:
Procrastination leads to inflated administrative and financial corruption, and when somebody defends a wrong or a wrongdoer thereby encourages wrongdoing and oppression, and it seems that the size of corruption is greater than the ministry.
We would like to say that questioning does not mean insulting the minister because accountability is usually conducted by the parliament, namely, representatives of the people, but on the contrary to that, as the minister must take the initiative and defends his files in front of the parliament. Whereas, the purposes of questioning are to remind the minister of the files neglected to be activated so that his performance and that of his ministry will get better, thereby the ministry will pull out of corruption circle to the provision of best services available.
In consequence of that, among the duties of representatives if they witnessed or came to know that the performance of so-and-so ministry is improper, is to maintain this trust they shouldered and hold any minister accountable if files of corruption were found in his ministry.
However, any defense of any corruption shall mean that the defender is already corrupt.
Presenter:
Is the whole government now accused of corruption?
Dr. Nahro:
If the entire government is standing by corruption this implies that the entire government is partaking in corruption, but if it were part of it then this part is the corrupt. Obviously there are benefactors who are bent on defending the rights of citizens and maintaining their dignity, but their voices are inaudible.
The Coalition and alliances :
Presenter:
Will you participate in the parliamentary elections independently or in alliance with other political powers?
Dr. Nahro:
There are dialogues and consultations going on with a number of national forces to form a grand coalition, and I am not, for the meanwhile, in the point of announcing the names as the matter is still in the process of constructive and affirmative consultations and discussions, and the doors are wide open for all.
We intend to enter with a stock of remarkable impact on the arena because we sought the change, a change coming from the depth of Iraqi street, from the poor citizen who has been waiting for days and nights to get his right.
We are the voice representing the displaced people who are not currently secure in Iraq; we are the voice of those who are inside Iraq and subject to killing and slaughtering.
The pressing question here is: why backward forces are bent to assassinate the youth in the Iraqi street, irrespective whether these were Sunni, Shiite or Kurds?
If these were guilty, why they were released?
And are assassinations the essence of political profession?
We would say that "not whoever claims communion with Lila is right", and certainly, we are not among the heralds of catchwords but we seek deeds, and for this purpose we formed an international committee to defend human rights and citizens who were humiliated and robbed of their rights, and formed also committees to provide services to all the displaced Iraqi people. In addition, we started with the neighboring countries and according to the percentage of Iraqis present therein, because they suffer from lack of health services, as there are many families in Aleppo, Homs and Damascus, and in Jordan; moreover, we are working with hospitals for the adoption of these cases, and providing them with full health care. And unquestionably, these are the potentials of a party not a state's.
Electoral commissariat and its scope of integrity:
Presenter:
There are some parliamentarians who criticized the electoral commissariat and, others, likewise, talked plainly about the impartiality in the results of provincial councils' election.
How do you see the stand of electoral commissariat?
Dr. Nahro :
There are many reservations against the electoral commissariat in the past, and we, certainly, wish that the said commissariat holds on to the principle of neutrality and to be the monitor who maintains it, and take on the role of trustee that gives the right of trust to Iraqi people being a responsible body. Moreover, the commissariat should bear this character to be the arbiter in election results whether in the provincial councils or the coming legislative elections; also, the commissariat should keep its work far-off from allocation.
However, we still see the effect of blocs, bodies and movements from the government on the work of commissariat, and there is a division in commissariat formation and work in light of what is going on at the helm of command, and as such, we appeal to them, as Iraqis, to be up to their assumed responsibility because they represent Iraq in the final outcome, and there is also an international control over their work. Any tampering will reflect passively on the whole Iraqi people because when the citizen cast his vote it is essentially aimed to bring about a change.
In the previous elections there were problems with the commissariat including, not updating the register of voters leading to recurrence of the Iraqi voter name, and some political blocs were aware of that and took advantage of this situation. As an example, each electoral center is divided into one hundred stations and the voters list contains the same person name in all stations, which means repeating its voting a hundred times, this is a big trouble indeed that some blocs made use of it and thus could obtain many votes. While some other political bodies were unaware of this, and now they allege that they have got past the problem.
We work, and in cooperation with many political forces from within and without the government to draft a working paper setting the commissariat approach in the next elections, sparing it a lot of suspicions, violations and imbalanced inclinations that affected it in the previous stages of elections.
Between both the open and closed lists:
Presenter:
Some call for the open list, and others insist on the closed, which is preferable in your view?
Dr. Nahro:
We see that the predisposition with the blocs existing in power now is leveling at the closed list, and both cases have advantages and disadvantages.
Open list has advantages like, highlighting the candidate characters for elections, while the disadvantages, for some current blocs, lie in the lacking of persons influential on the Iraqi arena. Whereas the closed list conceals candidate names and voting will be for the list, which involves inefficient and unqualified names, as working in parliament needs eligible qualifications in real representative symbols of the people. We meet many marginalized academics and experts performing other tasks, where these elites are supposed to be in the parliament and bear upon their shoulder a duty greater than what they are currently doing.
Attitude towards Kurdistan elections:
Presenter:
Now, election campaigns have started in Kurdistan region. Do the results of elections there will cast their shadow generally on the political scene in Iraq?
Dr. Nahro:
For sure, Kurdistan is an important part of Iraq by and large. As for us, we are not a party of the current elections in Kurdistan parliament and we have been always hoping that these elections would be free and conducted with free votes.
Presenter:
Does this mean that you do not support any Kurdish party or movement?
Dr. Nahro:
We are with the Kurdish citizen and encourage what he promotes and wants and do not want to be a party for the meantime.
Presenter:
There is a rumor that you are backing Freedom and Justice Party?
Dr. Nahro:
The chairman and secretary-general of the party is my friend, I respect him and he is a proponent of change, however, we said that we do not want to be a part in the conflict, but to keep up with the arena as a neutral controller, intervening positively if it were needed at all.
Attitude towards the elections in Iran:
Presenter:
What do you think about the results of the recent Iranian elections?
Dr. Nahro:
What we see on the TV screens of reflections in the Iranian street is that the masses want re-election. Certainly, any change in the political map of Iran will reflect on the region and all other neighboring countries not on Iraq alone.
We see what is happening in Iran as a warning gong for all Iraqi politicians, in the sense that any rigging in the Iraqi elections results will be followed by similar events to that is happening in Iran or even more violent, so, we wish from all to be rational and not to tamper with the elections results which will be conducted at the international level.
About the intervention of Iran in Iraq's security file:
Presenter:
How do you see the Iranian intervention in Iraq as described by some and denied by many others?
Dr. Nahro:
No body denies that there is a significant Iranian intervention in Iraq's security file for being already intrusive into the Iraqi state's sensitive security joints.
And we, for our part, reject this interference as much as we disapprove intervention from any other state or entity; however, noble and well patriotic politician would not accept or tolerate by all means to turn a blind eye on such interventions, or be a godfather thereof.
On the readiness of Dr. Nahro to take over the Iraqi security file:
Presenter:
Once you declared and indicted, as regards the security side, that you are ready to assume the responsibility of the security file including the army, are you still up to the idea?
Dr. Nahro:
Yes, for sure we are still up to this, our vision stems from the fact of our desire to curb corruption… this is because we witness the deteriorating security situation caused by the rampant corruption in all state's joints… the suffering of the citizen from lack of employment and a source of sustenance he and his family can live on, has helped to make it accessible for dubious external forces, and suspicious financers to set up outlaw militia which have worked and still working on deteriorating the security status of the country.
We realize that if there were enough employment opportunities securing decent live for the Iraqi individual, the situation would have been totally different now in terms of stability, as the Iraqi in his nature is a good and kind man, and if the chances of decent living were accessible he would not have to go along the path of vice and depravity.
Presenter:
What would you exactly do if you have assumed the security file?
Dr. Nahro:
To begin with, we have to fight corruption in all its forms, then to support the military institution as we possess an army with good capabilities and experiences. And as it is known, since the monarchy and the succeeding periods Iraqi army had not been dissolved, so this army expertise, which gave a lot to Iraq, should not be dispensed with, and its members should have all their rights and entitlements.
Dr. Nahro and the Kirkuk file:
Presenter:
In your capacity as the Secretary-General of the CINU, how do you view the file and issue of Kirkuk, which have started to swell and influence the events?
Dr. Nahro:
We are pro an Iraqi Kirkuk, so its Iraqi identity must be preserved.
However, Kirkuk in its ethnic and religious configuration represents miniature Iraq, so everyone must surrender some of what they see indeed as their right, and to live in one city, the city of fraternity.
Dr. Nahro and the problem of Mosul:
Presenter:
Do you think that Mosul city has become similar to Kirkuk?
Dr. Nahro:
Mosul problem is quite different from that of Kirkuk, as Mosul problem has emanated from factional grounds, some parties wanted to earn political gains, and this is wrong.
Parties, nonetheless, should consider Mosul differently, that is, if a party had to lead it must be in the service of Mosul people without the least prejudice to Mosul map, namely, without having to enhance one class at the expense of another, and without giving precedence to political gains, because all Iraqi are bothers from Zakho to Al-Faw.
These are our principles in (Coalition of Iraqi National Unity) and we are ready to launch a dialogue initiative between all parties to solve the issue and give the devil his due.
We find that all parties in Mosul are rational and understanding of the issue, namely, Iraq and the Iraqi situation not being in a position to tolerate any more of these conflicts at this stage.
We would call upon all to be Iraqis, meaning, to surrender their personal interests in favor of their homeland upper interest and public interest, in particular the interest of the Mosuli citizen, because it represents the interest of Iraq.
In Mosul, we find a lot of historic houses of prophets thousands of years old, so how could any fledgling party change the glorious history of this city.
Presenter:
Is this a critique against Hadba list?
Dr. Nahro:
A critique to whomever is irrational and hence should surrender, whether from Hadba or else.
Arms will not solve the problem.
I am pro to issue the banning of Iraqi blood document and we started on it and will be sent to all politicians and, we will have the honor to be the first among the figures who would sign this banning of Iraqi blood and be the nucleus of unification not fragmentation in Iraq.
On the file of detainees and human rights violations:
Presenter:
The file of Iraqi in prison is currently hot, as there are many appeals for help and claims calling to consider the files of those detained without trials, why this is happening in your opinion?
Dr. Nahro:
I would like to forward a message to currently existing politicians implying: have you ever been treated throughout the past regimes in this manner you are treating the Iraqi people with?
We have not seen on any one day that an accused is arrested to spend days and months without being asked the classic question: are you accused or innocent?
These practices rendered the Iraqi people prefer to have their homes raided by a US force rather than by an Iraqi force. However, I am afraid to attribute the Iraqi character to those apparatuses that raid Iraqi homes, violate their dignity and deprive them because the genuine Iraqi cannot hurt his Iraqi brother and infringes on his sanctities.
Dr. Nahro and sports initiatives:
Presenter:
We came to know that there are initiatives to establish a sport club; will that sport be a lure for politics or what?
Dr. Nahro:
Surely not, but it will be complementary to the social status.
We find that many of the world's politicians pair between political and sport activity as both touch directly on the lives of people directly, and that sport unites the hearts of Iraqis, strengthen their bonds as was observed in the Asian Nations Cup. We believe that sports clubs should be free, adopted by independent institutions or persons to enable sportsman attain its ambition by offering the best performance, furthermore, he must be provided with all supplies of success of courtyards, tools and all is needed for sports work of trainers and expertise… and to work on twinning between the clubs, institutions, and new sports systems on the current arena.
We are about now to establish a sports club to be an awning to all Iraqi sportsmen and we have already set about, accompanied by many Iraq stars who took the initiative in this area because the benefit is theirs and for their experience development. Anyhow, we have not forgotten the need to take advantage of the former sportsmen who are outside the field, but still present and in contact with the new sportsmen.
Dr. Nahro and the initiative to defend the rights of journalists
Presenter:
You have announced a few days ago an initiative to form a body in defense of the journalists' rights?
Dr. Nahro:
We started some time ago to make contacts with some lawyers in England and a national body of Iraqi lawyers and we will meet soon at a meeting to begin the tasks, because we see that the journalist's rights are violated and this poses a big problem.
It is supposed to activate the law of press and give freedom and full immunity to media-man and journalist to carry out their functions successfully and express the free opinion in Iraq without any fear.
Presenter:
Will you take legal actions in this issue?
Dr. Nahro:
Yes, legal and judicial commission will take actions by examining every single file and each case and by the journalist or media-man circumstance and how he was abused.
Dr. Nahro and the press and scientific research awards
Presenter:
There are awards including Dr. Nahro Mohammad AbdulKarim award for the press, and scientific research award and others, are there any projects for other segments of society?
Dr. Nahro:
We wanted to encourage the press and the Iraqi media so we worked with an international body to develop awards for the creative and talented, and this body will be monitoring the performance, pursuing festivals and media activities.
Also, the scientific research which we consider the core of development for any nation, therefore, we have undertaken to establish and form an international scientific specialist committee to follow up and encourage scientific researchers in order to develop Iraqi scientific researches to take their role in the development of the country for a better tomorrow.
The political stance
Part of the political official attitude pronounced by Dr. Nahro Mohammad AbdulKarim, the secretary-general of the CINU, as aired on Al-Sharqiya TV
One: the political position from religion
We, in the CINU, believe in separating religion from political work, in order to maintain the sacred reverence of religion away from politicization and lest of falling into the snares of politics, its contradictions and vicissitudes, this is, however, contrary to what some are trying to portray this separation as freezing of religion and disruption of its precepts, and recent events in Iraq and elsewhere have proved that the combination between both characters of clergyman and politician in one figure has brought forth a major wrong to religion and a serious damage to politics.
Two: the CINU invariants
1. Iraq identity: Iraq is a country of multiple races, religions and ideologies with unique particularity provided it maintains effective harmony with its Arab and Islamic surrounding, and any attempt to weaken this harmony will mean compromising the inherent identity of Iraq.
2. Unity of Iraq: Iraq, with its current geographic borders, is considered, inevitably and decisively, one unit that does not accept division or fragmentation.
Three: objectives of the coalition
1. Build a model of patriotic, free and upright Iraqi citizen,
2. Defend the civil rights of all citizens,
3. Provide a decent living for all Iraqi people, without the least ethnic, ideological or religious discrimination, and to commensurate with their surrounding of oil countries.
Four: refusal of allocation, and its replacement with the concept of participation
1. We disapprove the principle of allocation altogether because it leads to the partition of Iraq on sectarian and ethnic bases, and believe in pluralistic, democratic Iraq.
2. Allocation is a malady if every official or person thought for himself or his community and tried to procure private gains or benefits at the others' expense. And is a remedy if every official or person thought to double its share of Iraq service and provide the best for the country, and as an alternative to allocation principle we propose the principle of positive sharing in government, based on mutual understanding and cooperation in order to salvage Iraq from its tragedies and intricate problems.
Five: on the shape of government system
We believe that pairing between both parliamentary and peresidential systems thru the division of powers between parliament and presidential system will be the best to rule Iraq.
Six: on the formation of government
We aim to form a strong coalition with the political constituents compatible with our goals and invariants to be able to form a government and its presidency, this and only this would establish a national government with strong support, able to provide the best of services to Iraqis, reunite them in their country and provide a comfortable living for them, and that each citizen would feel that Iraq is his own country.
Seven: on the file of the displaced
We seek to:
1. Develop a true program to return the displaced not a mere resounding of slogans,
2. Provide a genuine protection for the areas from which the people fled,
3. Provide employment opportunities for the displaced or put them back to their jobs.
Eight: on the file of corruption
We realize that the reason which has plunged the country into this abyss of administrative, financial and political corruption phenomena is the allocation; it is the base of scourge, which made it difficult to hold the corrupt officials accountable, because they are definitely belong to this or that bloc.
Nine: on participation in the next elections
1. We will enter into the next elections- God willing- with strong alliance, so we welcome whoever wanted to enter with us in this alliance, on the same declared invariants.
2. We will take part in the next elections because we are:
• Voice of the poor in Iraqi street,
• Voice of the displaced and emigrants of Iraqis,
3. We are against the dark forces that assassinate young people, competencies and brains.
4. Address corruption in true terms because, from our viewpoint, it is no less dangerous than terrorism and deliberate sabotage.
Ten: on the file of questioning the officials
According to our vision in the CINU, holding accountable the officials accused of corruption, is an important act and has special precedence for any reform attempt, and whoever defends corruption and stands in the way of investigation is necessarily a corrupt at first.
Eleven: on the electoral commissariat and its integrity
The commissariat is still under the influence of blocs, movements, or streams sharing in the current government, and we hope from them all to be as Iraqis at the level of responsibility in which they were placed, for they eventually represent Iraq. We will also work hard to control the work of this commissariat and to distance it from illegal turn.
Twelve: on the list type
We favor the open list so that the names of incompetent candidates are not covered up or those who lack the appropriate qualifications to serve Iraq, or those who belong to countries that, to say the least, serve their own interest above all else.
Thirteen: attitude from Kurdistan elections
We not a party in the parliamentary elections of Kurdistan region of Iraq, but we are with the Kurdish people in what they choose or want of representatives in the region's parliament.
Fourteen: position from elections in Iran
What goes on in Iran is a warning bell to all Iraqi politicians if they try to manipulate the upcoming elections.
Fifteen: on the receipt of security file
We see that security will not materialize unless:
1. Corruption was eradicated in all forms in the country;
2. Adequate employment opportunities were created for the unemployed;
3. Expertise of the dissolved army members was utilized, and they are granted all their rights and entitlements.
Sixteen: on Kirkuk file
We are with the Iraqi character of Kirkuk, its manifold components symbolizes a miniature Iraq. The solution lies in creating the right climate to have the concerned parties waived some of their presumed imperative rights, because Kirkuk is the city of brotherhood.
Seventeen: on the problem of Mosul
The problem in Mosul originated from a difference in visions of winner parties in the provincial councils' elections, and the solution to their problem lies in giving priority, by all parties, to the interest of Mosul over the subjective gains.
Eighteen: on the banning of Iraqi blood document
We have the honor to be the first among who have signed the document of (banning the Iraqi blood) to be the nucleus of unification, not fragmentation.
Nineteen: on the file of prisoners
We doubt the Iraqi character of anyone raiding Iraqi houses and violating the sanctities and rights as is going now.
Then, how come that days and years might pass while the detainee does not know what charge is leveled against him?
Twenty: on the file of sports
On the sport side, we wanted to extend a helping hand to Iraqi sportsmen in order to uphold thereby the Iraqi sport, however, this question has nothing to do with politics, it is just a social service for the country's people as sport is deemed the arena that unites the hearts of all Iraqis and promotes the Iraqi people.
Twenty-one: on the initiative to defend the rights of journalists
The rights of journalists are being violated now in Iraq, and we will endeavor, in cooperation with international legal writers, to defend the freedom of speech in the country.
Twenty-two: on support of scientific researches
We believe that scientific research is the essence of development for our society, therefore we seek to sustain this aspect with all possible means.
