chattels Government did not order ‘crime’ of protester killings: Iraq President

https://www.rudaw.net/english/middleeast/iraq/071020192

Mohammed Rwanduzy7 Oct 19, 11:12 PMchattelsThe President announced steps to be implemented in the short term, including the “opening of a judicial investigation” into the violence, as announced earlier today by Iraq’s Supreme Judicial Council.

“Special authorities, without a doubt, have to hold those responsible for spilling Iraqi blood responsible.”

The President also voiced support for a suggestion by Ayatollah Sistani, the highest Shiite religious authority of Iraq, for forming a committee composed of independent, qualified Iraqis to engage with protesters to present a “roadmap” for reform.

As a third step, the President suggested discussions between Iraq’s political blocs to “form a national parliamentary bloc” to support and oversee reform, the fight against corruption, and the provision of services.

To tackle state corruption – one of the main sources of protester grievance – Salih suggested “activating the role” of integrity courts, supporting their independence and taking corruption cases to them with no “immunity” for anyone.

chattels Another committee ?

chattels Iraq protests exacerbate testing times for PM Abdul-Mahdi

https://www.rudaw.net/english/opinion/08102019

chattels Eight years into the toppling of Saddam Hussein, the people of Iraq started to wage demonstrations simultaneous to those of several other Arab countries under the influence of the wave of the Arab Spring. They protested a lack of basic services, unemployment, injustice and corruption.

The Iraqi government, at the time under the reign of Nouri al-Maliki, was given a 100-day ultimatum by Muqtada al-Sadr to carry out reform. Many other hundred-day spells have passed since then, yet nothing has been done and the situation continues to worsen.

chattels The people of Iraq are fed up, and can no longer bear most of the brunt of the worsening economic conditions that have haunted them. According to the International Transparency Index, Iraq is ranked the 12th most corrupt of 180 countries. We can therefore label Iraq as a failed state.

chattels Undoubtedly, ongoing protests will become a golden opportunity for any side wishing to see the collapse of Abdul-Mahdi's government and replace him. It is not improbable that if protests continue, Mahdi will resign, as he is known as a leader whose resignation is always on the table and not as one ready to remain in a position where he becomes worthless. In the past, he withdrew from the posts of vice president of Iraq and oil minister.

chattels ' In the past, he withdrew from the posts of vice president of Iraq and oil minister."

chattels i DO NOT THINK THAT HE WANTED THE JOB UNDER ALL OF THE CIRc*msTANCES TO BEGIN WITH.

chattels Sorry, cap lock, too lazy to retype.

chattels The " failed state " phraseology is a common one for the Kurdish independence minded. While I think that Rudaw is as transparent and unvarnished a news source as may be available in Iraq, it is arguably biased toward the Kurds.

chattels At the same time, there is reason to think that these may be the dying days of this Iraqi state.

chattels One guru now has the object of the protests to be an increase in the value of the dinar. I would like to see that in black and white with a link, but I suspect that it is the stale and tired failed narrative of " RV anytime and everyday ".

chattels I have confirmation and a link for the " report " that seven ministers tendered their resignations to Mahdi.

chattels Report US Amb to Iraq thought PM Abdul Mahdi would resign US military disagreed With protests dying down pressure on PM might lesson as well http://musingsoniraq.blogspot.com/2019/10/govt-repression-working-against-iraqs.html …

chattels Joel Wing @JoelWing2

Iraq might have escaped revolutionary situation via repression but still not addressed causes What does it mean for Iraqi democracy that govt was willing to gun down so many people & politicians were so incapable in face of crisis? https://twitter.com/JoelWing2

chattels A " blast from the past ". URGENT: 7 year prison sentence given to Central Bank head, Sinan al-Shabibi

by Amre Sarhan Sep 4, 2014, https://www.iraqinews.com/features/urgent-7-year-prison-sentence-given-central-bank-head-sinan-al-shabibi/

chattels " The source told IraqiNews that the Judiciary in Iraq has issued a ruling against the former governor of the Iraqi Central Bank today on Thursday, based on the case filed about his administration.

Iraqi High Judiciary Council declared on 19 Oct 2012 that an arrest warrant against the Central Bank governor Sinan al-Shabibi was issued on charges of corruption during his administration of the bank, whilst Shabibi was in Tokyo attending an annual world conference."

chattels Where were you on 19 Oct 2012 ?

chattels Hard to believe that we are approaching the seventh anniversary of the sudden and surprising end to Shabbibi's governership at the Central Bank, eh ?

chattels We are also approaching the fifth year of the following. Iraqi Dinar revaluation postponed by Central Bank for 5 years says MP Noura al-Bajari, by Amre Sarhan, Oct 29, 2014, https://www.iraqinews.com/features/iraqi-dinars-project-postponed-5-years-says-central-bank/

chattels The reason, ............ al-Bajari said, “The policy to delete zeros from the Iraqi currency is ready to be executed by the Central Bank, however, its implementation will be delayed by 5 years on the basis of the extreme security and political situation of the country.”

chattels " ............. delayed by 5 years on the basis of the extreme security and political situation of the country.”

chattels What is the current security and political situation in the country ?

chattels It was reported in February of 2013 that “The Iraqi Government thinks that changing the dinar needs suitable and stable circ*mstances,” https://www.iraqinews.com/business-iraqi-dinar/iraqi-cabinet-rules-out-replacing-or-omitting-zeros-from-iraqi-currency/

chattels The purpose, or definition, of deleting the zeroes is to reduce the currency in circulation we were told by Majida al-Timimi, member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee ( She is now the Chairperson I believe. ) in 2012. https://www.iraqinews.com/business-iraqi-dinar/finance-committee-ground-not-suitable-to-delete-zeros-from-iraqi-currency/

chattels I decried yesterday the guru notion that deleting the zeroes / increasing the value of the dinar is a panacea for Iraq's economic crisis. See

https://www.iraqinews.com/business-iraqi-dinar/cancellation-of-zeros-from-iraqi-currency-wont-solve-iraqs-economic-crisis-expert-says/

chattels The Central Bank of Iraq, earlier, announced that cancelling the zeros is within a plan to develop monetary policies in the country.

One of the difficulties facing is Iraq is withdrawing 30 trillion Iraqi dinars ( It is now more.) from Iraq’s market at the present time and to replacing it with new currency.

Earlier, the ministry of finance ruled out the idea of cancelling the zeros in 2013 because the federal budget was based on the current currency. https://www.iraqinews.com/business-iraqi-dinar/iraqi-dinar-3-zeros-canceled-by-central-bank-of-iraq-cbi/

chattels Doug_W Been walking down memory lane with the dinar this morning.

chattels Thousands of young people, mostly teenagers, kept up demonstrations for the seventh day in a row. Nothing — not government promises, military threats, religious advice nor anything else — has been able to convince them to return home yet.

They have nothing to lose. They are jobless, feel humiliated due to Iraq’s weak position in the region, despair about the political system and have little hope for the future.

Chattels Unsurprisingly, not only Americans but also Iranians supported Abdul Mahdi against the unarmed protesters. Iran and the United States have been cooperating in forming and supporting almost all of the Iraqi governments after 2003.

chattels “PMU factions are ready to intervene to prevent any coup or insurgency in Iraq, should the government request,” Fayadh added.

The PMU factions are already in the streets taking part in confronting the protesters.

Continuation of the protests will likely lead the prime minister and his government to rely on the PMU more than ever, which would allow the PMU to further increase its influence in the Iraqi government.

Chocolatiere chattels Thank you for your time 😃 and all the reports .. Iraq 's withdrawal of the currency from the market place and replacing it with a new currency doesn't sound good 😖 .. hopefully , hopefully the next few weeks things may turn around .. the reason those countries do better with a dictator is that they can't seem to be able to govern themselves

Dave find it interesting given the situation ...they can only muster 212 out of 364 to parliament

Dave at least Quorum.....

Dave protesters should focus on CBI.....and push the button......???????

Dave Right Young-SC?

Young_SC Dave GOI is responsible for most of what they ask for. Cbi is in charge of the financial being of things
