Meeting of all Iraqi powers being prepared -- Source
 A well-informed Iraqi source here said on Saturday that the Egyptian capital is currently preparing to convene a meeting of all Iraqi factions in Cairo next month in an attempt to resume the process of reconciliation that has been frozen repeatedly.The Middle East News Agency (MENA) quoted the source as saying it was not yet decided whether the meeting would be held under the auspices of Egypt directly or under the umbrella of the League of Arab States, which has already organized a Conference on Iraqi National Accord or be co-sponsored between the two sides. The source explained that the proposed meeting is expected to include all powers in the Iraqi arena, both involved in the political process or outside in addition to the tribal parties whose weight has increased on the Iraqi arena in light of the failure of the political forces in resolving the crisis in the country. It pointed out that Cairo recently witnessed numerous visits of various Iraqi delegations from all spectrums of the Iraqi society, such as the Sadrist bloc, in addition to a number of prominent tribal powers in the Iraqi society, pointing out that these visits were part of the preparations for the proposed meeting.
