chattels: Religious Authority: Iraq could face 'partition' without reform Published: 2015/8/21 12:47 Religious Authority: Iraq could face 'partition' without reform Baghdad (AIN) -Iraq's top Shiite cleric,
Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, warned on Thursday that the country faces dire consequences including possible "partition" if real reform is not carried out. Sistani, who is revered by millions and has unmatched prestige in Iraq, has made several calls for reforms this month that have played a major role in a wide-ranging anti-corruption drive by Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi. "Today, if true reform is not realised by fighting corruption without mercy and realising social justice on different levels, it is expected that circumstances will become worse than before," Sistani said in a written response from his office to questions from AFP. Iraq could be "dragged to... partition and the like, God forbid," he said. It was Sistani's most direct warning yet on the possible consequences if reforms he has advocated are not carried out. Sistani said that corruption had already cost Iraq dearly in the conflict with the Islamic State jihadist group, which overran around a third of the country last year.

chattels: Many Iraqi politicians, Sistani said, "did not take the overall interest of the Iraqi people into consideration, and were instead concerned with their personal interests, and factional, sectarian and ethnic" concerns.
Abadi rolled out a reform programme this month in response to popular pressure from weeks of protests against rampant corruption and abysmal services, and a call from Sistani for drastic change. " Parliament approved Abadi's plan along with additional measures, but a major gap remains between announcements and implementation."
