Two remarkable statements were made on Tuesday in the Iraqi capital. The first by Prime Minister Muhammad Shia al-Sudani, and the other by his Foreign Minister, Fuad Hussein.
During a televised interview, Sudani stressed that he would not succumb to the demands of any leader or party during the cabinet reshuffle, which he pledged to undertake at the end of the six-month that he set to evaluate the performance of his ministers.
Hussein noted, for his part, that the Iraqi premier was “not interested in traveling to Washington during the next stage, because he is preoccupied with internal issues.”
