The Ball is (officially) Rolling!
Well after a couple of months Iraq finally has a new, democratically-elected, government.
The Iraq Prime Minister Ibrahim Al-Jaafari was appointed today. The old PM Iyad Allawi has officially resigned but will continue handling affairs until Jaafari names his cabinet.
Jaafari has also promised not to push Sharia as the only basis for Iraqi law and to respect gender and religious freedoms.

After this Jaafari will appoint a cabinet. Misters of the Treasury, Interior, Foreign affairs etc.
They will handle day to day rule in Iraq.
Meanwhile the assembly will begin discussions on the formation of a new Iraqi constitution.
