Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi called Feb. 9 for a major Cabinet reshuffle to include professional figures, technocrats and academics whose names have yet to be revealed. When Abadi was appointed as prime minister-designate on Aug. 11, 2014, he promised to submit a technocrat Cabinet line-up.
Abadi’s repeated call to form a technocrat Cabinet indicates that he had failed to form the said government at the beginning of his term, due to the political structure of the Iraqi government, which was established and evolved within complex sectarian multi-problematic contexts.
