* Hillary Clinton tells Iraq not to ‘blow this opportunity’ at prosperity by embracing sectarian violence
Hillary Clinton has told Nouri al-Maliki not to ‘blow this opportunity’ in Iraq.
The United States has warned Iraq not to “blow this opportunity” to become a prosperous, unified nation, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Thursday, saying it must start to act like a democracy and embrace compromise.
Iraq has suffered its worst political crisis in a year with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s move to arrest Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi last month, which has raised fears of renewed sectarian violence following the U.S. troop withdrawal.
Speaking in a question-and-answer session with State Department employees, Clinton said U.S. ambassador to Iraq James Jeffrey has taken the lead in urging Iraqi politicians including Maliki, a Shi’ite, to settle their differences peacefully.
