Ahrar Sectarian violence to blame as democracy fails in Iraq

[Politics.be]

The Bertelsmann Foundation yesterday released a report identifying Iraq, along with Chad, Somalia and Sudan, as being one of the world's 'failed states'.Sectarian violence has brought the country to the edge of full-scale civil war. The report states "In countries like Iraq, strong ethnic, religious or regional identities undermine state identity and thus tear at the fabric of an already precarious stateness."


The collapse of democracy which has ensued within Iraq, explains the lack of credibility the present Iraqi government has internationally which is also highlighted in the report's findings.

Ayad Jalmal Aldin, leader of the Ahrar party, has always campaigned for secularism and unity, regardless of religion. He believes Ahrar's policies are the only hope Iraq has for a stable future. "The findings are clear within the report. For Iraq to have any chance of a stable future then we must unite and eliminate the sectarian violence that is destroying our country. Ahrar is a party for the people of Iraq."
