Rodsch Nuri Schawais

Roj Nûrî Şawîs ( Kurdish روژ نورى شاويس Roj Nûrî Şawîs ; pronounced Rusch Nuri Schawis; Arabic روج نوري شاويس; * 1946 or 1947) is an Iraqi politician of Kurdish descent. From June 30, 2004, he was deputy to then President Ghazi al-Yawar and was deputy prime minister in the first freely elected government of Iraq since Saddam Hussein and thus deputy to Ibrahim al-Jafari .

SAWIS is a member of the Kurdish Democratic Party ( Kurdistan Democratic Party , KDP ) and speaker of the Kurdish parliament in Erbil . At the overall Iraqi level, he was the only member of the new five-member state leadership who did not belong to the previous government council . It was partly expected that the two Kurdish leaders, Jalal Talabani from the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan and Masud Barzani from the KDP , would claim a leadership position.

He was nominated for office along with the four other personalities on June 1, 2004; the Kurdish population makes up almost 20 percent of Iraq. The agreement on an ethnically and religiously balanced government was reached by the above government council together with the US civil administrator Paul Bremer and the UN special envoy Lakhdar Brahimi .

The other deputy of al-Yawar was the Shiite and later Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jafari.

Together with the Sunni Abid Mutlaq al-Jiburi and the secular Shiite Ahmad Chalabi, Shawais was al-Jafari's deputy.

He received his doctorate in engineering in Germany in the early 1970s.
