Iraq's Anbar Province Struggles To Form Government
Three months following elections in Iraq’s protest-riddled Anbar province, its various factions have still not managed to create alliances and form a local government.
Some time has passed since elections were held in Iraq’s Anbar province on June 20, and political forces that won the elections have been unable to form a local government.
Sunni politicians in this large province located west of Baghdad — where the majority of the population opposes Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s policies — said, “thus far, the small blocs that have one or two seats in the new council, which includes nearly 30 seats, have refused to join any large alliance to form a government.”
