Podcasts about Zaidi

After months of deadlock following the November 2025 elections, Iraq's parliament approved a new government under Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi on May 14, 2026 — just as the country has become a battleground in the US-Israel-Iran war. Zaidi inherits a daunting brief: reviving a struggling economy, reining in armed factions, and steering Iraq through a perilous regional landscape. Dr. Renad Mansour, deputy director of the Middle East and North Africa Programme and director of the Iraq Initiative at Chatham House, joins host Alistair Taylor to discuss the war's impact on Iraq — from Iran's militia networks to the surge of attacks on the Kurdistan region — and how it's reshaping Baghdad's ties with Tehran and Washington.   Recorded on June 9, 2026.

In this episode, we assess PM Zaidi's first two weeks in office and discuss why political slogans and broad promises are no longer enough, and why Zaidi will need to articulate clear policy priorities that demonstrate his vision for Iraq and his approach to governing.The conversation also examines the importance of effective public communication in building credibility, particularly at a time of mounting economic pressure. Finally, we unpack the government's decision to undertake a comprehensive review of public contracts and what it may reveal about Zaidi's approach to corruption, accountability, and reform.

This episode examines the parliamentary session that reshuffled the country's political landscape on May 14. Ali Al-Zaidi was confirmed as prime minister, but only 14 of his 19 proposed ministers won parliamentary approval, while five nominees linked to Nouri Al-Maliki, Masoud Barzani, and Muthanna Al-Samarrai were blocked in what appears to have been a coordinated political maneuver by their rivals. The hosts break down what really happened inside parliament that day and unpack the emerging tripartite bloc between Qais Al-Khazali, Haybat Al-Halbousi, and Bafel Talabani, and trace its roots back to the December 2025 speaker vote.

Shownotes After five months of negotiations, Iraq's power brokers have agreed on a completely unknown compromise candidate for the country's new prime minister. Ali al-Zaidi, a businessman with no experience in politics or public administration, took over leadership of Iraq on May 14 as the country faces multiple emergencies. Iraq can't sell its oil because of the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and is running out of money to pay salaries. Iraqi militias, beyond the government's control, have been attacking Saudi Arabia and targets inside Iraq. And Iraq just found out that its supposed ally, the United States, has been covering up the existence of multiple Israeli bases that were operating in the Iraqi desert. Zaidi, perhaps the weakest prime minister to take office since the U.S. invasion in 2003, faces a sovereignty crisis of epic proportions from his first day in office. Sajad Jiyad, Century International's fellow in Baghdad, analyzes the many challenges for Iraq's new prime minister. Participants Sajad Jiyad is a fellow at Century International.  Thanassis Cambanis is director of Century International.  Date: Tuesday, May 19, 2026 Episode: Order from Ashes 113

L'Irak a franchi une étape importante dans la formation de son futur gouvernement.

Bi. Mutavati amesema wanawake na wasichana ni miongoni mwa waliouawa katika mashambulizi ya kulengwa, ikiwemo shambulio la Machi katika Eneo la Utawala la Ruweng lililosababisha vifo vya watu wasiopungua 169 akionya kuwa ghasia zinazidi kuongeza hatari kwa wale waliokwishakimbia makazi yao. Pia ameeleza wasiwasi kuhusu kusambaratika kwa huduma muhimu, akisema uporaji na uharibifu wa vituo vya afya umeacha wanawake bila huduma muhimu za matibabu. “Wanawake wanajifungua bila huduma yoyote ya kitabibu kwa hatari kubwa ya kupoteza maisha,” amesema. UN Women inakadiria wanawake na wasichana milioni 5 nchini Sudan Kusini wanahitaji msaada wa kibinadamu mwaka huu, wakiwemo milioni 2.5 wanaohitaji huduma zinazohusiana na ukatili wa kijinsia.Akitoa wito wa hatua za haraka, Bi.

Usawa wa kijinsia ni suala la mamlaka. Hakuna hatua hata moja mbele kwa haki za wanawake ambayo imewahi kutolewa. Bali imeshinda.

Tumefanya hivyo ikiwa ni miaka miwili kabla ya ratiba - lakini pia natambua imekuwa ni miaka 80 imechelewa.”Katika hotuba yake, Katibu Mkuu wa António Guterres amesisitiza kuwa kufikia usawa wa kijinsia si suala la haki kwa wanawake pekee, bali ni hatua muhimu kwa maendeleo ya dunia nzima. Amesema jamii ambazo wanawake wanapata haki na fursa sawa huwa na maendeleo ya haraka zaidi, uchumi imara na taasisi zenye uwajibikaji zaidi, akisisitiza kuwa kuimarisha usawa wa kijinsia ni msingi muhimu wa kufikia maendeleo endelevu duniani.Mkuu huyo wa Umoja wa Mataifa amesema bado kuna kazi kubwa ya kufanya ili kuhakikisha wanawake wanapata haki na fursa sawa katika jamii duniani.Ametaja maeneo matano muhimu ya kuharakisha haki na usawa kwa wanawake ambayo ni kuhakikisha haki sawa za kiuchumi kwa wanawake, kuimarisha uwakilishi wao katika maamuzi ya kisiasa, kupanua upatikanaji wa elimu na fursa za kazi, kuondoa ukatili dhidi ya wanawake na wasichana, pamoja na kulinda haki za wanawake katika dunia ya kidijitali.Kwa upande wake mwenyekiti wa Kikao hicho cha 70 cha Kamisheni ya Hali ya Wanawake Duniani CSW70 Maritza Chan Valverde amezungumzia maudhui ya mwaka huu ambayo ni  “Haki, haki ya kisheria na Hatua kwa wanawake na wasichana wote nakusema kila mtu anajukumu la kufanya (Maritza cut )“Ondo vikwazo na uhakikishe kwamba haki inakuwa ukweli halisi kwa…

Mashirika ya Umoja wa Mataifa WHO, UNICEF na UNRWA wameanzisha kampeni ya pamoja ya Uchanjaji watoto waliokosa huduma muhimu za kuokoa maisha kutokana na miaka miwili ya machafuko katika Ukanda wa Gaza umeanza kutekelezwa na mashirika matatu ya Umoja wa Mataifa, lile la afya duniani, la kuhudumia watoto UNICEF na la kusaidia wakimbizi wa Kipalestina, UNRWA. 

Serikali ya Victoria imetoa ripoti ya mwisho ya uchunguzi kuhusiana na uzoefu wa wanawake katika suala la maumivu - na ni taarifa inayosumbua kusoma. kutokana na uzoefu wa wanawake na wasichana 13,000, ripoti hiyo imebaini mapengo katika huduma za afya kwa jinsia, upendeleo katika matibabu, ubaguzi wa kijinsia, na hisia za kupuuzwa au kutopingwa na wataalamu wa afya zinazoenea katika mfumo wa afya wa Victoria.

Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Afya ulimwenguni, WHO, limeongoza uhamishwaji wa wagonjwa kutoka Gaza eneo la Palestina linalokaliwa kimabavu na Israeli, ikiwa ni  mara ya kwanza tangu kuanza kwa awamu mpya ya kusitishwa kwa mapigano kwenye  ukanda huo.Katika muda wa siku mbili, wagonjwa 41 waliokuwa katika hali mbaya pamoja na familia zao 145 wamehamishwa kutoka eneo la mgogoro, kuelekea Afrika Kusini, Uswisi na kwingineko, huku maelfu zaidi wakiendelea kusubiri matibabu ya dharura.Katika hospital iliyojengwa kwa mahema  katika eneo la AL-MAWASI, RAFAH kwenye Ukanda wa Gaza wagonjwa wakihudumiwa kila kona watoto kwa wakubwa Miongoni mwao ni Ibrahim Abu Ashiba, mkurugenzi wa filamu ambaye maisha yake yamebadilika ghafla. Anakumbuka wakati alipojeruhiwa. Anasema, "Nilipigwa risasi mara kadhaa, mara moja kwenye kifua, mara moja kwenye bega, mara mbili mkononi. Risasi hizo mbili zilikata mishipa ya neva ya mkono wangu. Sasa siwezi kushika kamera wala kunyoosha mkono wangu kawaida. Ghafla, maisha yangu yote yalisimama."Safari ya kupona kwa Ibrahim inaanzia Afrika Kusini, ambapo amekubaliwa kwenda kupokea matibabu maalum ambapo anasema "Maisha yangu yote yalikuwa yamesimama baada ya kujeruhiwa hadi waliponipigia simu na kunijulishakwamba nitasafiri kwenda Afrika Kusini kwa matibabu. Ilionekana kama nimezaliwa upya."Mgonjwa mwingine katika hospitali hii ni, Maria Al-Shaer, alijeruhiwa vibaya katika mashambulizi yaliyokuwa yakiendelea Gaza, huku akipoteza ndugu zake. Mama yake, Raghda Ahmed Al Shaer, anaelezea mateso hayo. "Maria amepoteza baba yake na ndugu zake wote. Alijeruhiwa na kuvunjika mguu, mifupa na kupoteza nyama. Anahitaji upasuaji wa kuwekewa viungo bandia. Maisha yake yamegeuka, hawezi kutembea, na hali yake ya kisaikolojia imeathirika sana."Uhamishwaji huu umeratibiwa na Shirikisho la Chama cha Msalaba Mwekundu Palestina, kwa msaada wa WHO. Dkt. Luca Pigozzi, Mratibu wa Timu ya Dharura ya WHO, anafafanua umuhimu wake."Huu ni uhamishaji wa kwanza wa matibabu tangu kusitishwa kwa mapigano Oktoba 10. Tumejizatiti kuongeza uwezo wetu kusaidia na kuratibu uhamishaji kwa ajili ya matibabu, kwa ushirikiano wa karibu na Shirikisho la chama cha Msalaba Mwekundu la Palestina."Raghda anaeleza matumaini kwa ajili ya binti yake wanapohama kwenda Uswisi. "Wametupigia kutuarifu kwamba Maria amekubaliwa kusafiri kwenda Uswisi kwa matibabu. Tumefurahi sana kwamba atatembea tena, na hali yake ya kisaikolojia itaboreka. Atarudi kuwa Maria wa kawaida kama tuliyemjua."WHO inasisitiza kuwa wagonjwa takriban 15,000 bado wanangojea idhini ya kupata matibabu nje ya Gaza na inatoa wito kwa nchi zote kufungua milango yote za dharura kwa ajili ya uokoaji wa wagonjwa.

Ghasia zinazoendelea kwa kasi zinawakwamisha zaidi watoto katikati ya mashambulizi ya mabomu yasiyokoma, mapigano makali, na uhaba mkubwa wa chakula, maji salama na dawa kwa zaidi ya siku 500 sasa.“Hakuna mtoto aliye salama,” anasema Catherine Russell, Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa Shrika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Kuhudumia Watoto, UNICEF kupitia taarifa iliyotolewa na makao makuu ya shirika hilo jijini New York, Marekani leo.Taarifa hiyo pia inamnukuu Catherine Russell akisema, “ingawa athari kamili bado haijulikani kutokana na kukatika kwa mawasiliano kote nchini Sudan, inakadiriwa kuwa watoto wapatao 130,000 huko Al Fasher wako katika hatari kubwa ya kukiukwa haki zao, huku kukiripotiwa visa vya utekaji nyara, mauaji na ukataji viungo vya mwili, pamoja na ukatili wa kingono.”Pia kuna taarifa za wafanyakazi wa mashirika ya kibinadamu kukamatwa au kuuawa.UNICEF inatoa wito wa kusitishwa mara moja kwa mapigano, kuhakikisha upatikanaji salama na usiokatizwa wa misaada ya kibinadamu, ulinzi wa raia hasa watoto, na kupatiwa uhakika wa njia salama kwa familia zinazotafuta hifadhi, kwa mujibu wa sheria za kimataifa za kibinadamu. Wale wanaohusika na ukiukaji lazima wawajibishwe.Wakati huohuo, Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Mpango wa Chakula Duniani (WFP) limethibitisha kwamba Wizara ya Mambo ya Nje ya Sudan imewataarifu kuwa viongozi  wawili wa juu wa WFP nchini  wametangazwa kuwa watu wasiotakiwa nchini Sudan na hivyo wameamriwa kuondoka nchini humo ndani ya saa 72, bila maelezo yoyote.WFP inaeleza kwamba uamuzi huu wa kuwafukuza Mkurugenzi wa WFP nchini Sudan na Mratibu wa Dharura wa WFP nchini humo unakuja katika kipindi muhimu kwani mahitaji ya kibinadamu nchini Sudan hayajawahi kuwa makubwa zaidi kama kipindi hiki, huku zaidi ya watu milioni 24 wakikabiliwa na uhaba mkubwa wa chakula na jamii zikikumbwa na baa la njaa.Wakati ambapo WFP na washirika wake wanapaswa kupanua wigo wa msaada, uamuzi huu unalazimisha shirika kubadilisha uongozi bila mpango, jambo linalohatarisha shughuli zinazowaunga mkono mamilioni ya Wasudani walio hatarini kukumbwa na njaa kali, utapiamlo, na hata kifo kutokana na njaa.WFP na maafisa wa ngazi ya juu wa Umoja wa Mataifa wanaendelea kuzungumza na mamlaka za Sudan kupinga hatua hii na kutaka ufafanuzi wa uamuzi huo.Tags: Sudan, El Fasher, WFP, UNICEF

Zaidi ya watu milioni 30 wanahitaji msaada, nchini humo wakiwemo watoto milioni 15 na wakimbizi karibu milioni moja.Mahakama ya Kimataifa ya Haki (ICJ) jana Oktoba 22 ilisema Israeli lazima itimize majukumu yake kama “anayekalia kimabavu” kwa kuhakikisha kuwa msaada unaweza kupita bila vizuizi na kwa kuheshimu haki za Umoja wa Mataifa na mashirika mengine ya kibinadamu yanayofanya kazi katika Ardhi ya Palestina Iliyokaliwa kwa Mabavu. Katibu Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa António Guterres ameelezea maoni hayo ya ICJ kuwa “muhimu sana,” akiongeza kuwa yametolewa wakati ambapo Umoja wa Mataifa unafanya kila juhudi kuongeza kasi ya misaada kuingia Gaza baada ya kusitishwa kwa mapigano.Nchini Kenya, wahudumu wa afya waliokuwa wakisubiri hadi siku 15 kupata malipo sasa wanapokea pesa ndani ya saa 72 pekee, shukrani kwa mfumo mpya wa malipo ya kidijitali uliotolewa na Shirika la Sfya la Umoja wa Mataifa WHO na Wizara ya Afya ya nchi hiyo. Mfumo huu unapeleka fedha moja kwa moja kwenye pochi za simu za wafanyakazi, ukipunguza ucheleweshaji, gharama na kuongeza motisha. Wafanyakazi zaidi ya 120,000 sasa wanafaidika, kuboresha ufanisi wa kampeni za chanjo na juhudi za kudhibiti polio.Mwenyeji wako ni Anold Kayanda, karibu!
