Translated by the Iraqi Institute for Dialog, this report provides an in-depth assessment of political and national stability in Iraq after 2003, based on a special report issued by the French Parliament in 2009.

The report highlights the series of elections held since 2003 as a sign of the evolution of the democratic process, despite the absence of previous democratic history, and describes the parliament as a "vital and emotional" center for conflicts that often move from the streets of Baghdad.

The report also focuses on Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, who has gained national popularity by focusing on the rule of law and Iraqi identity, despite continuing sectarian divisions and doubts surrounding his Shia loyalty.

The text concludes with a discussion of the major challenges facing Iraq, including rebuilding infrastructure degraded by corruption, the future of the scheduled U.S. withdrawal, the ongoing threat of political instability and the escalation of Kurdish demands over disputed areas, such as Kirkuk.
