The Dhaka Times Desk Sectarian conflict in Iraq has left all records of the past. Mainly due to Shia-Sunni conflict in Iraq, the law and order situation of the country is completely fragile in the last few months. And Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki directly blamed Qatar and Saudi Arabia for supporting Sunni extremists inside Iraq.
saturday France 24 In an interview with K, Nuri al-Maliki complained, "Currently, the sectarian conflict that the Sunni insurgents are waging in Iraq is much greater than at any time in the past. The common people of Iraq are dying. If our two neighboring countries had not turned a blind eye to Iraq's internal affairs, this situation would not have arisen today."
Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki also said, "Basically, Riyadh and Doha are providing financial, emotional and political support to the Sunni rebels in Iraq. As a result, it is not possible for Iraq to handle this conflict. Saudi Arabia and Qatar are waging a de facto war against Iraq. They are supporting regional insurgency in Iraq.
Iraq's head of government, Nouri al-Maliki, believes that the Syrian civil war and intense Sunni resentment against Iraq's current Shia-dominated government are fueling internal unrest and sectarian terrorism in Iraq. They are inciting Sunnis because Saudi Arabia and Qatar are supported by Sunnis. The Sunnis are waging an undeclared war against the current Shia government in Iraq.
Before this, some Gulf countries including Saudi Arabia and Qatar were indicated by the Iraqi government for interfering in the internal affairs of Iraq. But this is the first time the Iraqi head of government has spoken directly to the media about Iraq's internal affairs and Saudi Arabia and Qatar's efforts to contain the Shia Sunni sectarian riots inside Iraq.
The country's parliamentary elections are going to be held next month amidst the ongoing violence. But recently people are dying in various ways in Iraq almost every day. In most cases Shia-Sunni riots are the root cause. In the past few years, this year alone, Shia Sunni attacks have killed nearly 1,800 people in Iraq.
