The Prime Minister of Iraq Nouri al-Maliki has angrily denounced the moves by the country's president to oust him, warning that it has no value but it has violated the constitution. He told security forces to remain steadfast in their positions, saying they were in a holy war. Earlier the President asked the Deputy Speaker of the Parliament Haider al-Abadi to replace Mr. Maliki as Prime Minister. Jim Mier reports.

伊拉克总理马利基愤怒谴责该国总统要驱逐他的决定，警告称此举没有意义，且违反宪法。他告诉安全部队坚守岗位，称这是一场圣战。早些时候，总统请求议会副议长Haider al-Abadi取代马利基担任总理。吉姆·缪尔报道。

Flanked by loyalist members of his State of Law coalition, Nouri al-Maliki condemned Mr. al-Abadi's nomination as a breach of the constitution, which was null and worthless. "We are in a dangerous constitutional war," he told his supporters, "but we will stand against this violation, correct this mistake and defeat it." The US, the UN and others have welcomed Mr. al-Abadi's appointment, hoping it will help provide a united platform for confronting the Islamic State. But the fear is that Mr. Maliki may try to use the security forces to defend his position, creating further divisions and disarray.
