Iraqi communications minister resigns | News | MEED

Allawi accuses prime minister of interfering with ministry?s affairs

Iraq?s communications minister Mohammed Tawfiq Allawi has resigned, saying the prime minister has refused to ?stop political interference? in his ministry.

Allawi told Agence France-Presse that he submitted his resignation a month ago, but it has only just been accepted by Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. ?I present my resignation because I have become incapable of working in such an infested environment,? he said in his resignation letter.

Allawi, a member of the Sunni-backed Iraqiya bloc in Iraq?s coalition government, has clashed with the Shia prime minister?s office. Sectarian infighting has increased since the US armed forces left the country in December 2011.

Allawi resignation is said to the first of a minister in the power-sharing government since it was formed in 2010.
