The Iraqi parliament gave the new prime minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi and his partial cabinet a vote of confidence to succeed the resigned government led by Adel Abdul-Mahdi.
So it seems to be clear in Iraq. After six months of crisis which started last October with the explosion of a popular uprising, Iraq has a new premier, Al-Kadhimi, who, relying on a solid majority, will try to revive a country experienced by a worrying economic crisis - caused by the collapse of crude oil -, by the worrying return of the Isis guerrilla and by the widespread coronavirus epidemic.
The new premier, supported by all Shiite parties and almost all of Parliament, presented his still partial government team made up of 15 ministers.
During one of the first interventions, Al-Dadhimi reaffirmed its commitment to the fight against the coronavirus and promised justice for the over 1000 demonstrators killed during the protests of last autumn.
The new prime minister also seems to like the United States which, through American Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, welcomed the new government by extending the possibility for Baghdad of imported Iranian gas by 120 days, despite US sanctions.
Al-Kadhimi is also looked on favorably by Iran with which he collaborated during the fight against Isis which now, after the killing of commanders Qassem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis on 3 January, has returned to threaten the country. The followers of the new caliph Al-Quraishi in fact, after the reduction of the Coalition forces - gone from 7500 to less than 5000 and concentrated in only four bases - seem to raise their heads returning dangerously active south of Mosul, the birthplace of the successor of Al-Baghdadi, in the no-man's-land between Erbil and Kirkuk, and in the east of the country.
