Abid Mutlaq al-Djiburi ( Arabic عبد مطلق الجبوري, DMG ʿAbd Muṭlaq al-Ǧibūrī ) is a Sunni Iraqi politician. He was Deputy Prime Minister of the Iraqi Government in 2005 .
Al-Djiburi comes from the multiethnic oil town of Kirkuk and was a former member of the Ba'ath Party , which Saddam Hussein also belonged to. During Saddam Hussein's time, he was a general in the Iraqi army who was known for his skills in the Iran-Iraq war . Later he was dean of the Iraqi Military Academy. He also studied law and military technology . He is a member of the major Djiburi tribe .
In the first freely elected Iraqi government since Saddam Hussein, he was elected Vice Prime Minister and thus, together with the Kurd Rodsch Nuri Schawais and the secular Shiite Ahmad Chalabi, he was elected deputy to the Shiite Ibrahim al-Jafari . With his appointment, as well as the appointment of Saadun ad-Dulaimi as defense minister , it is hoped that the Sunni resistance fighters will be involved in the political process in Iraq.
