| MISSAN / Aswat al-Iraq: Political blocs should form a “partnership' Iraqi government, Sayyid Ammar al-Hakeem, head of the Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council (SIIC), said on Friday from Amara city. “Political blocs should join roundtable meetings to serve Iraq not to talk about posts,' Hakeem said in a speech addressed to his supporters in the city. Although the SIIC is part of the Iraqi National Alliance (INA), the bloc that ranked third in Iraq's recent parliamentary election with 71 seats, Sayyid Hakeem noted that no entity lost the election. “The INA is the winner because it brings other blocs together to form the government,' he added. Missan province has 10 representatives in the new Iraqi parliament. Six of them are from the INA. Amara, the capital city of Missan province, lies 390 km south of Baghdad. |
