Iraqi President Barham Salih offered to resign as weeks of anti-government protests in the Arab country continue, APA reports citing Tasnim.
Protesters rejected one nominee, and Salih rejected the candidacy of a second, Assad Al-Edani of the Al-Binaa political bloc. In a letter to the Iraqi parliament speaker on Thursday, he said the new prime minister must be someone who can unify rather than divide the nation.
“Out of an eagerness to spare blood and preserve civil peace, I apologize for not naming Edani prime minister,” the letter continued. “I am ready to submit my resignation to parliament.”
