On Monday the new Iraqi government will be announced after the main political blocs found the way out of the nine month deadlock in today's parliament session

Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki will announce his cabinet on Monday, an aide said on Saturday, potentially bringing an end to nine months of political impasse after inconclusive March elections.

The government of national unity will include members of the Iraqi parliament's four main political blocs representing Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds, and comes with around a year to go before US troops are to withdraw completely.
