Iraq gets a new government after a year of deadlock

Baghdad, Oct 28: The Iraqi parliament gave its approval to a new 21-member cabinet headed by Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani on Thursday.

Infighting between different Shiite factions following last year's inconclusive vote left the parliament in a political deadlock.

"Our ministerial team will shoulder the responsibility at this critical period, in which the world is witnessing tremendous political and economic changes and conflicts," the new prime minister said after the vote.
