We see the government stalling again in announcing the completed cabinet. Sadr did give the GOI until Saturday or else the protestors would enter the green zone. Abadi did come out and say the new cabinet would be completed this week.
 
So what does Sadr then do?
Sadr moves into the green zone by himself to hold firm on his promise. But this is also a warning to the Abadi and parliament that this stalling will no go past this week.
 
The current status on 3/28 is that Parliament gives Abadi until next Thursday 3/31 to submit his new cabinet. So we see the finger pointing going back towards the GOI and Abadi from parliament as to who it the hold up the effort.

REUTERS: IRAQ'S SADR BEGINS SIT-IN INSIDE GREEN ZONE TO PUSH FOR REFORMS (3/27/16)
http://reut.rs/
 
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Powerful Iraqi Shi'ite Muslim leader Moqtada al-Sadr entered Baghdad's Green Zone, the heavily-fortified center of the city housing government and other official buildings, on Sunday to keep up pressure on the government to enact reforms.
 
Hundreds of Sadr's supporters began a sit-in at the district's gates more than a week ago and continued to camp out there on Sunday despite heavy rains, but Sadr took the protest forward by entering the zone itself.
 
"Beloved protesters, I will enter the Green Zone by myself and (my escorts) only. I sit in inside the Green Zone and you sit in at its gates. None of you move," he told them before walking past a security checkpoint near parliament and the Rashid Hotel into the Green Zone. 
 
Sadr is urging Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi to move ahead with a plan announced last month to replace current ministers with unaffiliated technocrats to tackle systemic political patronage that has abetted graft.
 
Television channels affiliated with Sadr's political party showed him sit down on a white plastic chair in front of concrete barriers inside the district. He sipped on bottled water before sitting on the ground inside a green tent his guards and aides had erected.
 
It was not immediately clear how long Sadr, the 42-year-old who rose to prominence when his Mahdi Army battled U.S. troops after the 2003 invasion, planned to continue his personal demonstration. Abadi has said he plans to announce a cabinet reshuffle this week.
 
Along with Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, Iraq's top Shi'ite cleric, Sadr has re-emerged as a leader in matters of state in recent months.

[Update: Needed Laws]
 
Did Ki-Moon forget there will not be a National Guard law, instead they are implementing just the Conscription Law (draft)?  Maybe he just misused terms and meant the draft?
 
So now we also hear it from the mouth of Ban Ki-Moon himself, the UN General secretary telling the three most important laws that Iraq needed to pass and implement: a national reconciliation, amnesty and national guard laws. Their words not mine! But I have been saying this now for months. These laws are needed prior to any RV!

They are telling once again it will be on the agenda for the next session of parliament this week for a vote.

Will they actually do it this time? This is stalling if I ever saw it!

LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE: GENERAL AMNESTY READY TO VOTE
 
Special - balances News
 
Parliamentary Legal Committee revealed Sunday, it's the process of the meeting on Sunday to complete some disagreement on the draft general amnesty law points in order to vote on it.
 
He said committee member Hassan Turan's / balances News / "The Legal Committee will complete all the sticking points that provided the political blocs, and then submitted to the Presidency for a vote in the next parliamentary sessions."
 
He pointed to Turan, that "the law will be ready for a vote during the current week and keep it at the Presidency in and put it on the agenda for a vote in the next parliamentary sessions."
 
The political blocs have objected to much of the material in the draft general amnesty law, which he considered equals between a terrorist and a civilian committed a crime, while the Union forces demanded that the law includes whitening prisons with the exception of stolen public money.

After all this news in the last couple weeks,  I am beginning to move out my RV window of mid March to mid April. This my sound, logical approach. Even if Abadi does meet the goal and gets Kurdistan to submit their candidates (or leave their existing candidates) then parliament still needs time to review each of the nominees and select the minister and his/her deputy for 22 ministries.

Then they have to have a session and ratify by a vote the final candidates. We have less than 3 weeks remaining in this window and I have little confidence this will be completed during this timeframe in its entirety. But let’s watch and wait.
 
Remember there are also these last remaining laws that need to be “formally” voted on in parliament. This probably will not have an opportunity to take place until all the ministers are all seated.
 
Meanwhile the fighting in the Mosul region is still ongoing and must get to a benchmark.
 
[Update: Fighting ISIS]

Most importantly please, please, please let’s not forget to keep praying for the success of THESE IRAQI AND COALITION SOLDIERS. I believe our prayers are in part some of the acceleration of the process we are now witnessing.  
 
Remember too to pray to the princess of peace – Our Blessed Virgin Mary. She has the ear of Christ and she can intercede in heaven and bring us the peace we all desire here on earth. We can not do it alone. I believe that if we all make this our daily prayer you will see change. It is already working even in the short time since I have been publishing this prayer section. It does not matter what religion you believe, if you pray then to your oven beliefs entity it is still the same powers and good for all of mankind. Ultimately it is all the same God anyhow.
 
“Lord, protect Abadi and all who stand with him in righteousness, the Iraq and coalition soldiers who are fighting the good fight against terrorism, that they would be shielded from the enemy and would be victorious against them in the battle for Mosul! We ask that the victory comes swiftly and healing of the Iraqi peoples and all whom have been effected by these evil doers can begin!
 
We pray for the process of the currency reform, the full implementation of  the Iraqi economy to full  international status and the bringing of prosperity and wealth to its people“  Amen!
 
Till next time…. Auf Wiedersehen!
 
Peace and Luv To Ya All,
