I hope he will not end like Ariel Sharon, in that 'berzax' of life and death for ever.

I hope that he has a loving family to support him when he comes out of hospital, and he will come out of that I am sure

Iraq's President Jalal Talabani has recently been working to resolve a standoff between the central government and the Kurds, who have their own fighting force.
Iraqi President Jalal Talabani has been hospitalized in Baghdad after suffering a stroke and is in stable condition, a spokesman for the prime minister said Tuesday.

The development injected new uncertainty into the country's political future, a year after the U.S. military left. The seriousness of the stroke is unclear.

Although his political powers are limited, Talabani, 79, is respected by many Iraqis as a rare unifying figure able to rise above the ethnic and sectarian rifts that still divide the country. Known for his joking manner and walrus-like moustache, Talabani has been actively involved in trying to mediate an ongoing crisis between Iraq's central government and the country's Kurdish minority, from which he hails.

Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has visited the hospital where Talabani is being treated, his spokesman, Ali al-Moussawi told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

Iraqi state TV also reported that the president has had a stroke.

Rifle-toting soldiers assigned to the presidential guard were deployed around Medical City, Baghdad's largest medical complex, where Talabani is being treated. A number of senior government officials and lawmakers were seen rushing to the hospital to check on his condition, though their bodyguards were not being allowed inside.

Iraqi Presidential guards walk outside the Baghdad hospital where Iraqi President Jalal Talabani is receiving treatment.


Saadi Peira, a senior official in Talabani's Patriotic Union of Kurdistan political party, said doctors expect they will need two to three days to determine whether Talabani should continue to receive medical care inside the country or he whether he should be taken to a hospital abroad.

Talabani's office earlier said the Iraqi president had been taken to the hospital after showing signs of fatigue Monday evening, and that he was being treated for an unspecified health problem. It later said tests have shown he is suffering from a hardening of his arteries, though it described his condition as stable.

Talabani's spokesman could not immediately be reached for comment.

An Iraqi Cabinet official said Talabani fainted on Monday and remains unconscious. The official agreed to speak only on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release details about the president's health.

Talabani is overweight but little else is known publicly about his health. Over the summer, he underwent knee-replacement surgery in Germany.

The Iraqi presidency is seen as a largely ceremonial post, though it does retain some powers under Iraq's constitution. The president must sign off on laws approved by parliament and has the power to block executions.

Talabani, a member of Iraq's Kurdish minority, has frequently used the post to mediate disputes within the government and among Iraq's various sects and ethnic groups.

He has recently been working to resolve a standoff between the central government and the Kurds, who have their own fighting force.

The two sides last month moved additional troops into disputed areas along the Kurds' self-rule northern region, prompting fears that fighting could break out.

Talabani last week brokered a deal that calls on both sides to eventually withdraw troops from the contested areas, though there is no timetable for how soon the drawdown might take place.

Talabani met with al-Maliki earlier Monday. They agreed that al-Maliki would invite a delegation from the Kurdish regional government to Baghdad to continue the talks, according to the prime minister's office.

as I expected Turkish news have started celebrating the news for example :

NationalTurk news writes:

Iraq’s puppet president hospitalised due to emergency health condition / Iraq News
He has also travelled to to the United States and Europe for treatment for a variety of ailments. It is suggested that Talabani has one foot already in the grave.

UPDATED : Jalal Talabani ‘s Brain death ocurred and it is confirmed by his doctors in Baghdadi hospital !

What a pathetic of NationalTurk site to gloat over someone's stroke, ofcourse it is normal Jalal Talebani was a humantrian kurd , all fashsists and racists hate him automaticly.

[Kurdistano]

Is he really brain dead?

I hope for him to live, at least his last years with his family outside of politics, but if he is really brain dead than just let him go.

[Shere Medya]

Talabani is a traitor, I accuse him of corruption, I accuse him of stealing and I accuse him of betraying the Kurds and Kurdistan. What is he doing in Baghdad anyway for all these years? He should be in Hawler or any other city in Kurdistan helping the Kurdish people, not the Arab people! Both Talabani and Barzani have ignored the Feili Kurds in Baghdad, they are living in poverty.

You are some 17 year old kid and feel yourself in the position to judge about a man who has sacrificed his lifetime for Kurdistan in such a moment like this while he is in coma?

Just look how he is arguing "What is he doing in Baghdad".

I am not only disappointed but find it disgusting how someone can talk about a man who is on the edge of dead and life. Even if you dislike him at least show some respect and dont talk in such a manner as if he is your fathers enemy. At the end of the day he is a human and has served Kurds more as he could have damaged them.


Its getting more and more ridiculous with those little kiddos on the world wide web.

I wish his family strength and hope he will survive.

He killed thousands of Kurds and millions indirectly (along with Barzani). He is the reason why so many people died and now for some reason, he is not allowed to die? if you love him as if he is your God then shame on you.

And he is not in a life or death situation, it is just a coma.

Isn't he supposed to be a Kurdish leader? Isn't he supposed to help the Kurds? Then why has he ignored the Feili Kurds when those Kurds requested for his (and Barzanis) help?

your information is not accurate, please this topic is about President Mam Jalal's health, this is not a right place, you can open a new topic and discuss about your allegations, do not change the subject.

does anyone know that being in coma is confirmed? why Kudish medias are After world medias? whey do we have to hear our president's death news from others than kurdish news?

[dyaoko]

I was searching in BBC for jalal talebani's name I found a very old article before liberation of iraq, talking about freedom of newspapers under kurdistan region in 2001 for all minorities

old article about jalal talibani in BBC 2001
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/1480745.stm

We were not afraid of bullets. Why should we be afraid of words?

Jalal Talebani

[Piling]

Sheikh Barzan Othman, an official of the international relations of PUK told that 'his health is improving from hours to hours'. But i never trust completely statements from parties…

Concerning his political past, I would have thought he could be more criticized for his political choice in 1966 and for the civil war in 1992. For the presidency of Iraq, having a Kurd at this place was a good thing, and many Kurds think also that both Barzani and Talabani leading the KRG would have never worked : one seat for 2 people is always crowded.

BBC is so retarted, they call Kurdistan Northern Kurdish region, and here is their ARABIC analysis about mam jalal
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-20766435

Analysis
Nahed Abouzeid
BBC Arabic
Since his appointment to the highest political office in Iraq, Jalal Talabani has maintained equal distance from all the political parties. His close allies like to call him Man (Kurdish for "uncle") Jalal - and he has always endeavoured to be just that.

NO MR BBC, you are retarded, it is MAM JALAL not man jalal, and it is Kurdistan not Northern Kurdish region...

[Piling]

Ha ha ha ! They should have mixed Apo from N. Kurdistan with Mam Jalal from S. Kurdistan. Kurds are trouble makers with their 36 words saying 'Uncle'…

[dyaoko]

BBC has always been retarded about Kurdistan and they are so arrogant to fix or correct their mistake

These German doctors have cared him last summer, during 3 months in Germany. So I suppose that team knows his case very well.
