Iraq: Will Disarming Factions Slip into Internal Confrontation?

In this episode of the program "Guest of the Day," we examine the issue of armed factions' weaponry in Iraq, as the deadline set by the Iraqi government to disarm factions and restrict weapons to the state approaches, coinciding with the planned withdrawal of US-led international coalition forces from Iraq. Between some factions welcoming the move and others refusing, the situation raises questions regarding the realism of the goals set by the Iraqi government and their alignment with current realities in the country.
