Al-Ani calls Ki Moon to change Kobler

Dhafer al-Ani, a leader of the Iraqiya coalition and the secretary general of the /national future gathering /, called the secretary-general of the United Nations to change his representative in Iraq Martin Kobler, for "his fail in managing human rights and democratization files in Iraq.' A statement of the gathering quoted al-Ani as saying: "the UN is supposed to monitor the human rights and democratization process in Iraq, and everything related to foreign interventions in Iraqi affairs," adding that "Kobler became a bridge for Iranian's interventions in Iraq through the statements that gave legitimacy to Iran to interfere in Iraqi affairs, pointing out that "the Iraqiya believes that Martin Kobler is no longer eligible to be a representative of the United Nations in Baghdad after has lost his neutrality and independence." Ani added that "Kobler infringed his main tasks, in which he was appointed in Iraq, whether political or humanitarian aspects." He pointed out "that the country is moving towards authoritarian after looting / Iraqiya's/ right in the last elections and hitting the principles of the Government of the partnership, and we did not hear any statement from UN authorization for its vision for these things or its desire to correct the situation." Al-Ani described Martin Kobler as " not an honest mediator in the relationship between Baghdad government and (Mujahidin Kalq) regarding their property in Camp Ashraf, but he was always being biased to the Iraqi government, and this puts many question marks about his impartiality and his behavior and his failure to fulfill his duties to protect( Mujahidin) as they are refugees in Iraq.
