The Iraqi Accord Front or Iraqi Accordance Front (Arabic: جبهة التوافق العراقية ''Jabhet Al-Tawafuq Al-'Iraqiyah'') also known as Tawafuq is an Iraqi Sunni political coalition created on October 26, 2005 by the Iraqi Islamic Party to contest the December 2005 general election. As a large section of Iraq's Sunnis are composed by the populous Kurds, situated in northern Iraq and locally autonomous, the party's members are mostly Arab, and as such, its political efforts have largely been focused on protecting this community's interests as opposed to Iraq's non-Sunni population. In the 2005 election, its platform called for ending the US occupation of Iraq, revision of the new Iraqi constitution, repeal of the de-Ba'athification laws that had cost many Sunnis their government jobs and the restoration of the Iraqi Army, which was dissolved after the US overthrow of Saddam Hussein and which had a Sunni dominated officer corps. Despite this, the party has maintained that it is non-secular, even though the Ba'ath Party contained many prominent Sunnis.〔( BBC | Guide to Iraqi Political Parties )〕 ==Leadership== The Accordance Front was initially led by Adnan al-Dulaimi of the General Council for the People of Iraq. Ayad al-Samarrai replaced Adnan al-Dulaimi as leader in July 2007.〔(Iraqi Political Crisis Near End as Tawafuq Chief Quits ), ''New York Sun'', 2007-07-06〕 In May 2009 Harith al-Obeidi was elected leader but was assassinated by terrorists weeks later.〔(Campaigning Iraqi MP Harith al Obeidi shot dead outside Baghdad mosque ), ''The Times'', 2009-06-12〕 ==Membership== In April 2010 Taha al-Liheibi a member of the Accordance Front was injured in the Green Zone in Baghdad.〔(US admits Green Zone is no longer safe )〕 The Accordance Front withdrew from Nouri al-Maliki's government in August 2007 but rejoined in April 2008.〔(Iraq Sunni bloc quits coalition ), ''Al-Jazeera'', 2007-08-01〕 In December 2008 the Iraqi National Dialogue Council withdrew from the Accordance Front.〔(Iraq's Main Sunni Arab Bloc Splinters )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Iraqi Accord Front」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
