Executive Summary
Politically, one could argue that Iraq is making progress – since early 2006 it has had a functioning elected government, which has taken over political responsible for the day-to-day running of the country. However, at a security level, Iraq has little to be excited about. The sectarian violence is anything but decreasing, and attacks on coalition and Iraqi security forces continue on a daily basis. The Baghdad security plan, which included the deployment of an additional 20,000 US troops, saw a diminishing of sectarian violence during the early stages, but levels have now risen once again.
Iraqi and coalition security forces have not been idle in confronting this issue. However, the scale and the complexity of the groups have proved all but overwhelming. On the upside, the majority of the violence is confined to four out of Iraq's 18 provinces – Baghdad, al Anbar, Salahaddin, and Ninawa – and at present, the security responsibility of seven provinces in the country has been transferred back to Iraqi forces. Iraqi security forces, for all their training and limited procurement, will not be in a position to operate effectively without the support of coalition forces for some time to come yet.
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki faces significant challenges if he is to reverse this trend. The unity of the United Iraqi Alliance coalition is under threat from increasing rivalry between Shi'a groups; the government-run security forces operate in direct competition to powerful militia groups. Often the two groups may consist of the same people; there are extensive disputes over Iraq's constitution amongst the Shi'a, Sunni and Kurdish population, especially concerning oil-revenue sharing arrangements.
Whilst it has been purported that great political progress has been made in Iraq, the security situation professes that Iraqi and coalition forces have only scratched the surface since the overthrow of Saddam Hussein, and in scratching that surface they have proved to irritate rather than soothe the wound. Nobody expects to see an end to the violence any time soon. Similarly, not many people expect Iraqi security forces to take full responsibility for the whole country at any time soon, nor for the coalition forces to withdraw from the country on any large scale. Finally, with almost all military equipment entering the country through donations or at least at 'gifted' prices, any talk of establishing a functioning defence industry in Iraq will remain premature for the foreseeable future.
