A View of Iraq in 2009 from Sadiq al-Rikabi, Senior Political Advisor to the Iraqi Prime Minister
Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's Da'wa Party scored a decisive win in Iraq's January 2009 provincial elections and has emerged as a leading force in Iraqi politics. The remainder of 2009 promises to be eventful, with local elections scheduled for July, a possible referendum on the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) with the US, national elections slated for the end of the year, and a drawdown of US forces.
One of Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's closest advisors will discuss the current situation in Iraq and take your questions.
This public event is off-the-record.
