Hoping that Iraq will finally have a government, from the Telegraph:

Iraq’s incoming prime minister says a unity government for the country has been agreed, though two key posts have yet to be filled.

Nouri al-Maliki says he will announce the new government tomorrow and fill the posts of interior minister and defence minister later.

A senior official in the main Sunni Arab Accordance Front, Adnan al-Dulaimi, said his coalition would support Mr al-Maliki’s Cabinet choices.

Mr al-Maliki, a Shia, said: “We decided on the names of the ministers and we will announce them, except for interior and defence ministries.

“Both will be acting ministers until we will choose the best ministers for those posts.”
