Iraq: Ayad Allawi puts power-sharing deal at risk, Reuters (2012)
This news article says that Iraq's attempt at a government power-sharing deal seems immediately imperilled after Ayad Allawi led his group of MPs from a parliamentary session that had just convened after eight months of deadlock. The buildup to Friday's sitting had been mired in uncertainty and brinkmanship on all sides, but a mass walkout after all 325 members had finally assembled was in nobody's script. An Allawi-led boycott would prove a significant setback and increases the risk of his winning coalition splintering.
