Sunnis are locked out of key jobs at universities and in government, their leaders banned from Cabinet meetings or even marked as fugitives. Sunnis cannot get help finding the body of loved ones killed in the war. And Shiite banners are everywhere in Baghdad. With the Americans no longer here to play peacemakers and Sunni-ruled Gulf Arab nations moving to isolate Iraq, it's a development that could lead to an effective breakup of the country. "The sectarian war has moved away from violence to a soft conflict fought in the state institutions, government ministries and on the street," said political analyst Hadi Jalo. "What was once an armed conflict has turned into territorial, institutionalized and psychological segregation." Despite occasional bombings, large-scale March recorded the lowest monthly toll for violent deaths since the 2003 U.S.-invasion. A total of 122 Iraqis were killed last month, compared to 122 in November 2009, the previous lowest. Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, a Shiite hardliner in office for nearly six years, does not tire from telling anyone who cares to listen that it was he who defeated "terrorism," the word he uses to refer to the Sunni insurgency. Critics charge that al- Maliki is suspicious of all squares.

We all know that," said policies thinly concealed Abu-Zeid, who declined to behind his goal of purging name the university that employs him because he feared reprisals. The prime minister has denied allegations that his government is harassing or discriminating against Sunnis. Al-Maliki even bragged to Arab leaders gathered for a summit meeting in Baghdad last week that "it is not an exaggeration to say that our success in national reconciliation can be an example to follow in Arab nations suffering from acts of violence and conflict." Fed up with Shiite domination, the mainly Sunni provinces of Diyala, Salaheddin and al-Anbar have recently announced their intention to become semiautonomous regions, a move provided for by the constitution. Their plans have been stymied by alMaliki, who argues that granting them autonomy would break up Iraq. In Diyala, the provincial council voted Dec. 12 to establish a self-ruled region, with 18 members in favor and five against. The next day, protesters widely suspected to be Shiite militiamen loyal to al-Maliki attacked the offices of the provincial government as well as the home of Sunni governor Abdul-Naser alMandawi, as police and army troops stood by and watched. Fearing for their lives, al-Mandawi and several council members fled the provincial capital, Baqouba, and found sanctuary in the mainly Kurdish town of IChanaqin to the north. Last month, al-Maliki gave al-Mandawi 72 hours to return to Baqouba or resign. He resigned. |
