Power Struggles and Political Violence in Iraq
from Deep Dish on Global Affairs · host Renad Mansour, Brian Hanson
Last week power struggles between rival Shia groups erupted in deadly street battles that sparked fears of a renewed cycle of violence. Chatham House's Renad Mansour joins Deep Dish and argues that the conventional view that Iraq's political instability is driven by sectarian and ethnic divisions is wrong. Rather, the real cleavage is between a permanent political elite, across faith and ethnic divisions, who work together to divide up state resources to benefit themselves at the expense of the Iraqi people.
