Iraq still looking for new government
Six months after nationwide elections, Iraq is still without a new government. Ayad Allawi’s Iraqiya List and Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Malikis �State of Law’ coalition got the most votes in the election last March, but neither has been able to gather enough support to form a government.
