Amr Moussa: Iraq Charter for Chaos

Iraq's draft constitution is a recipe for chaos. The Arab League shares Sunni muslims concern over federalism, says the Cairo based organization's secretary general Amr Moussa. Sunni negotiators fear the proposals would lead to the break-up of the country into a Kurdish north and Shia south, depriving the Sunnis of access to the country's oil resources.

Moussa also said he was concerned that the draft text denies Iraq's "Arab identity".
"I do not believe in this division between Shia and Sunni and Muslims and Christians and Arabs and Kurds," he said. "I don't buy this and I find in this a true recipe for chaos and perhaps a catastrophe in Iraq and around it."
