| One small step toward Political Reconciliation
Quote: Main Sunni bloc ends parliament boycott
Iraq’s main Sunni Arab political front on Thursday ended a month-long boycott of parliament, in a move that could begin to ease the passage of long-delayed legislation aimed at reconciling the country’s sectarian blocs.
The decision by the Iraqi Consensus Front, which controls 44 seats in the 275-seat Council of Deputies, comes two days after the radical Shia Sadrist trend also returned to the legislature.
