During his first two terms, al-Maliki established a governance template that deliberately dismantled the post-2003 settlement's vision of inclusive politics. He pursued policies of deliberate exclusion of the Sunni population on the political and social levels under the guise of de-Baathification. While originally intended to remove Saddam Hussein's loyalists, the process was weaponised by al-Maliki as a sectarian tool.
