Also, most of the political parties in Iraq hurried to look for a way out of the political premature aging that hit its organizational and structural foundations, seeking to find new scenarios due to its failure in the State’s administration in all fields. The political parties wanted to divert the audience’s attention to its innovatively changed names instead of focusing their attention on illusive achievements, which was clear through changing the names of the blocs and parties. The change will also include many faces in the upcoming electoral round. However, the most important question is, Will the behaviors of these parties and their approach change to serve Iraq and Iraqis, or is the change superficial?

Conclusions:

·         The admission of mistakes by some politicians is a positive step towards correcting the political process in Iraq, while those who do not admit and correct their faults are committing a political suicide, which is ethically unacceptable.

·         The European countries, including France, want to play a bigger role in the region, and they are working to strengthen their relations with Baghdad to gain investments and contracts to their companies.

·         There is an underperformance and corruption in the process of delivering the provisions of the ration card to the Iraqi citizen, which causes a huge damage to the poor and middle classes of the Iraqi people.

·         There are several drainage systems of hospitals, pouring in Euphrates River within the liberated regions, whose purification and processing plants were disrupted during ISIS control over those regions.

·         All Iraqi provinces lack the correct scientific means to get rid of the waste in general, including the medical, chemical and biological waste that imposes a real threat on the society.

Recommendations:

·         The politicians must work according to the principle of self-correction to identify the mistakes, admit them and correct them to serve the public interest and reflect the heightened sense of responsibility and citizenship.

·         Iraqi government must work to achieve diversified and multiple relations with the world’s major states to create a state of diplomatic balance in a way that benefit Iraq.

·         The Iraqi Parliament must take its oversight role effectively to hold accountable those who steal the livelihood of people, and it must work to expand and increase the provisions of the ration card, as millions of Iraqis depend on it in their lives.

·         It is necessary to develop a scheduled plan by the Ministry of Health, which starts by treating the serious causes of pollution that cannot wait, and activates the programs of the periodic examination of the waste processing plants in hospitals.

·         The government must give attention to the waste issue and the rates of pollution in Iraq’s environment, and cooperate with the specialized international organizations to measure the rates of radiation and the remnants of the war, benefiting from the expertise of those organizations in treating the pollution and managing the waste in modern ways.
