Iraq: EIFA welcomes Abadi Reform Package but demands more


 Struan Stevenson

The European Iraqi Freedom Association (EIFA) welcomes Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi’s 7-point plan for reforms in Iraq and congratulates him on these courageous and long-overdue measures, but emphasizes four additional key actions that must accompany any such reforms:
  1.  Prosecution of former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki for crimes against humanity, torture, murder and corruption.
  2.  Eviction of Iran from all areas in which it has interfered in Iraq. ISIS cannot be defeated, nor order restored in Iraq until the Iranian ‘occupation’ is ended.
  3. Confronting and neutralizing the brutal, sectarian Iranian-led Shi’ite militias. No armed forces should be tolerated in Iraq apart from the Iraqi military and the police.
  4. Early free and fair elections under UN supervision.
