THE INTERVIEW - Ayad Allawi, Former Iraqi Prime minister
- 10 years ago
Iraqis head to the polls on Wednesday for the first general election since US troops left the country. But the level of sectarian violence has not been this high since the civil war of 2006. Amid the turmoil, Shiite Prime minister Nouri al-Maliki is tipped to win a third term. France 24 speaks to former Iraqi Prime minister Ayad Allawi, who narrowly won the last election but failed to form a government. He claims to rise above sectarian differences and unite the country.
