[The Iraq Freedom Congress remains almost entirely unreported-on not
only by the MSM, but by alternative media as well.--DC]

The salvation from the current political and security chaos in Iraq
A transitional government, its agenda "security, bread and freedom"
As a result of war and occupation on Iraq, and the destruction of the
state and its institutions which followed, the U.S. administration tried
to impose a political agenda in Iraq through a formulation of a scenario
called [political process]. This process was based on sectarian and
ethnic division that brought forces of the same sort who supported the
war and occupation of Iraq.
Over nearly 7 years the “political process” did not result in anything
but ferocious fights between the forces and the parties; who were part
of this process in order to gain as much privileges and influence in
power and wealth. This conflict resulted in prolongation of the
political chaos, an insecurity in Iraq and exacerbated poverty,
destitution and a huge lack of social and health services.
The Elections, which was one of the mechanisms of imposing the
“political process”, has never been able to solve the issue of the power
struggle, because all of the elections held in Iraq did not exceed the
limits of the sectarian and ethnic quota. And that means merely a
reproduction of the same forces that are currently in power.
It is known that all of the elections have been characterized by many
farces such as fraud, political assassinations and delaying of
announcing the results until agreements among the influential forces are
reached. However, after every election, we would witness an increase of
violence and terrorist activities as part of political arm twisting
among these forces.
National reconciliation was one of the themes to bring the political
forces that did not participate in the process of power sharing with the
forces that supported the war and occupation. The reconciliation was
projected by the occupation administration to involve the pan-Arab
nationalist forces who were excluded from the formation of new Iraq, to
impose security and political stability. However, fears of the parties
in power (political Islam, Shiite in particular and Kurdish
nationalists) from the involvement of the pan-Arab nationalist forces,
has led to undermine the national reconciliation.
In the midst of the current political condition, neither the occupation
nor the successive governments were able to establish a state in Iraq.
The conflict among the parties and the forces has always been a key
factor in the lack of state formation in Iraq. Moreover, the conflict on
the identity of the State, whether, an Islamist Shiite, or Islamist
Sunni, Arab nationalist, or federal moderate Islamist is another
obstacle to establish the state.
The ongoing violence, which is another form of political conflict, will
not end through a political process that was brought by the occupation.
And the experience of nearly seven years of conflict between the
political forces taught us that the violence would not be terminated, in
fact it would only reproduce violence and terror. And what is happening
today, such as restructuring old alliances and forming new ones and the
escalation of the conflicts within the one party, is an explanation of
how deep the crisis is. As a result we could hear the prime minister and
a number of political parties, calling for an end to the rule of
consensus (consensus democracy).
We call for a transitional government: a free, secular, non-ethnic – top
of its agenda safety, bread, freedom
Forces of secularism, the liberal trends, the labor movement, the
leftist, feminist, and student and youth groups in addition to those who
rejected the occupation and the entire political process, the
disaffected masses who were destroyed by the sectarian and ethnic
conflict, extreme poverty, disease and lack of social services and
corruption, are the other party in this society, these are the vast
majority of Iraqi people who are looking for salvation from the tragic
situation that has been going on for nearly seven years of war and
occupation. We cannot find salvation in the “political process” that has
not and will not produce anything other than sectarian and ethnic
governments.
Salvation can be achieved by a formation of a free, secular and
non-ethnic transitional government, top of its agenda safety, bread, and
freedom works to implement the following items immediately:
At the political level:
1. People should be given the responsibility of protecting themselves by
forming volunteer forces for each center and region and under a direct
supervision of the Transitional Government, and these forces shall be
paid salaries until the establishment of the state and its institutions.
2. Release all political prisoners and detainees
3. Return the displaced to their home towns.
4. Allow all forms of civil liberties without limitations or conditions.
5. Prevent resorting to arms to resolve political differences.
The economic level:
1. Unemployment insurance to those who are of age 16 and above, male and
female, that commensurate with the standard of living until the bill of
unemployment insurance and social security is enacted.
2. The rapid return of those who have lost their jobs, for political,
sectarian and ethnic reasons.
3. Enhance and add new material to the ration card.
The transitional government will work on holding a free and fair
election after 6 months of its establishment. the mechanisms of
organizing and preparing for the elections are to be as follows:
1. Guaranteed freedom of all parties and political forces to participate
in the elections.
2. All parties, political forces and figures to take advantage of
resources and material, allocated by the interim government in
campaigning equally without any discrimination.
3. Elections must be monitored by international organizations such as
the United Nations, the European Union, the Arab League, Amnesty
International, Human Rights Watch ...and under their direct supervision.
4. Allow wide media coverage.
The solution above, which Iraq Freedom Congress puts in the hands of the
people, is the only way to save them from the cycle of violence,
terrorism and security and political chaos. It will improve their living
conditions and open new prospects for their generations. Iraq Freedom
Congress directed it’s appeal to all people of Iraq to revolve around
this document for the eternal salvation.
