An Arab summit in Baghdad – a weird event

Rec­on­cil­i­a­tion

I can imag­ine that peo­ple for­got the name Abdul Ameer Al-Rukabi, but this link on my Blog can refresh your mem­ory “

I don’t know if he regrets his pre­vi­ous arti­cle, or late dis­cov­ered that Maliki is not seri­ous about his rec­on­cil­i­a­tion ini­tia­tive, but he wrote another arti­cle today on Al-Quds Al-Arabi saying:

Tal­a­bani vis­ited Al-Sadr sev­eral times in few days, and dis­cussed with him in his res­i­dent in Qom – Iran, try­ing to con­vince him to join the new front, rely­ing on the Muqtada’s sen­si­tiv­ity from the return Ba’ath Party.

As you noticed above, Al-Rukabi thinks that Maliki is under pres­sure from Al-Hakim, the Kurds and the Sadrists to aban­don his rec­on­cil­i­a­tion project.

Sum­mit

Why it was a wise deci­sion to exclude Iraq from host­ing the upcom­ing Arab sum­mit? Maliki noticed that Arabs were not totally enthu­si­asts about this issue.

Jor­dan­ian writer Nikola Nasir sees more reasons:

It would be a his­tor­i­cal event, a non-Arab (Tal­a­bani) to be the pres­i­dent of the biggest Arab institution.

Pres­i­dent Jalal Tal­a­bani, built his his­toric glory on the sep­a­ra­tion from the Arab world, and did not hes­i­tate to wel­come the invaders.

Arabs are now in dis­pute on who is the strate­gic enemy, whether it is Israel or Iran, they should notice the fact that Tal­a­bani and his sep­a­ratist move­ment have a his­tor­i­cal rela­tions with both, against the Arabs.
