伊仍未能就总理提名达成一致 (Iraq's Shi'ite Politicians Fail Again to End Political Standoff)

伊拉克什叶派政界人士再次没能就总理提名问题达成一致，这个问题一直阻碍着新政府的组建工作。什叶派团结联盟各党派领导人今天(星期二)在巴格达开会，讨论贾法里的去留问题。会议中止后，有关官员说，他们星期三将再次会晤，争取解决这个问题。

这次会谈的一天前，逊尼派阿拉伯人和库尔德人领袖再次拒绝接受现任总理贾法里被提名在下届政府中继任总理。

什叶派联盟的一个政党的官员今天告诉记者说，如果团结联盟不能确保贾法里的提名获得通过，他所在的党准备重新提名另一位候选人。自去年12月赢得大选以来，什叶派领导人一直在努力组建政府，但是有关贾法里的分歧却造成了拖延。库尔德人和逊尼派阿拉伯人的领袖都认为贾法里在平息教派暴力方面做得不够。


Shi'ite politicians in Iraq have failed once again to agree on their candidate for prime minister, which is blocking the formation of a new government. Leaders of parties in the Shi'ite United Iraqi Alliance met today (Tuesday) in Baghdad to discuss the fate of Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari. After the meeting broke off, officials said they would try again Wednesday to resolve the issue.

Today's talks came one day after Sunni Arab and Kurdish leaders again rejected the nomination of Mr. Jaafari to keep his post in the country's next government.

An official with one of the Shi'ite parties told reporters today his group is ready to propose another candidate if the alliance cannot secure Mr. Jaafari's nomination. Shi'ite leaders have been trying to form a government since winning December's elections, but differences over Mr. Jaafari have stalled progress. Kurdish and Sunni Arab leaders say Mr. Jaafari has not done enough to ease sectarian violence.
