  2. BAGHDAD | Fri Nov 5, 2010 2:43am EDT BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq's parliament elects a new speaker on Monday, eight months after an inconclusive election, in a move that could force Sunni forces to join a Shi'ite-Kurd alliance in a national unity government or risk falling apart. The cross-sectarian Iraqiya alliance of former premier Iyad Allawi said on Thursday it might boycott Monday's session, called to try to break a political deadlock that has stoked tensions in Iraq as U.S. troops prepare to depart. But incumbent Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's Shi'ite allies and the Kurdish lawmakers who appear set to back him for a new term may be able to muster a quorum without Iraqiya. They may even be helped in that by a group of Iraqiya lawmakers who disagree with its steadfast refusal to support Maliki for a second term, and also by another bloc of mainly Sunni lawmakers who seem willing to ally themselves with him. "We are not ready to delay the formation of the government any longer than this and we are with anyone who can get half of the parliament plus one," said one of the dissenting Iraqiya parliamentarians, Ahmed al-Ureibi. Others shared his stance. Deciding which faction gets the post of speaker is the first piece of a jigsaw puzzle that could lead to the selection of a president and prime minister, though not necessarily right away. The posts are expected to be divided along ethno-sectarian lines, a sign of the deep divisions that run through Iraq 7-1/2 years after the U.S.-led invasion triggered ferocious sectarian warfare between once dominant Sunnis and majority Shi'ites. Maliki, a Shi'ite, and President Jalal Talabani, a Kurd, appear to have enough support to secure their reappointments. They want the speaker post to go to a Sunni in Iraqiya, which won two more seats in the March 7 election than Maliki's bloc after gaining strong support among minority Sunnis. U.S. officials fear excluding Iraqiya from the government could anger the Sunni voters who supported it and pour new fuel on a weakened but still lethal insurgency. A siege of a Catholic church and a barrage of bombings around Baghdad has killed more than 100 people in the past few days, reminding Iraqis of the fragile state of their war-damaged nation and putting pressure on politicians to act. SCENARIOS Depending on the outcome of talks in the coming days, several scenarios are possible on Monday. -- A multi-bloc deal on a national unity government is agreed and Iraqiya presents a candidate for speaker. Maliki takes the prime ministership and Talabani is reappointed. In this scenario, Maliki's powers as prime minister are diluted by giving Allawi or others in Iraqiya roles with expanded authority over security, economics and foreign affairs. -- Iraqiya boycotts parliament but rebel MPs present their own speaker candidate. This could cause an explosive fissure in Iraqiya that would reverberate through the Sunni community. http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE6A40YN20101105?rpc=401&feedType=RSS&feedName=worldNews&rpc=401
  3. 3 November 2010 Last updated at 14:13 ET Iraqi parliament meeting to elect speaker next week Iraq has broken the world record for the length of time it is taking to form the new government Continue reading the main story Struggle for IraqEnd to Iraq's epic journey in sight? US troops in Iraq combat dilemma Deadly attacks on Iraqi reporters Bittersweet memories for Iraqis Iraq's parliament will convene on Monday to elect a new speaker and two deputies, nearly eight months after inconclusive elections, officials say. The move, ordered by the Supreme Court, is being seen as a deadline for Iraqi parties to agree on the new government. Correspondents say Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki is likely to keep his job, having won over key Kurdish allies. Mr Maliki's State of Law bloc won 89 seats in March, two fewer than former PM Iyad Allawi's al-Iraqiyya movement. Since then, Iraq's parliament has met for just 20 minutes - and the country has set a world record for the longest time taken to form a new government. Leadership race "A session will convene on Monday to elect the president of the parliament and his two associates," the caretaker speaker Fouad Masum said in a statement on Wednesday. At the moment, it looks as though PM Maliki is very likely to keep his job, having slowly won the support of a number of other factions for his nomination, says the BBC's Jim Muir in Baghdad. The Kurds, who control more than 50 seats, still hold the balance. They seem to be tilting in his direction, but they have not announced anything yet. The key question is whether the secular al-Iraqiyya coalition headed by Iyad Allawi, which came out narrowly ahead in the inconclusive elections, is somehow included in what is being billed as a government of national partnership, or whether he will form an opposition, says our correspondent. Since he has the bulk of the Sunni vote behind him, that would be seen as a potentially dangerous development, underlined by the recent upsurge of violence, our correspondent adds. Fears of violence On Tuesday night, about a dozen co-ordinated bombs targeted Shia districts across the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, killing more than 60 people and wounding hundreds. The attacks came two days after at least 52 people were killed as police stormed a church in Baghdad where hostages were being held. Analysts say the spike in violence could be a last-ditch attempt by al-Qaeda to exploit the country's political vaccuum. They warn of more attacks over the weekend as the political negotiations come to a head. Al-Iraqiyya (Iraqi National Movement): Nationalist bloc led by former PM Iyad Allawi, a secular Shia. Includes Vice-President Tariq al-Hashemi, a Sunni Arab, and senior Sunni politician Saleh al-Mutlaq State of Law: Led by Prime Minister Nouri Maliki and his Shia Islamist Daawa Party, the alliance purportedly cuts across religious and tribal lines. Includes some Sunni tribal leaders, Shia Kurds, Christians and independents Iraqi National Alliance (INA): Shia-led bloc includes followers of the radical cleric, Muqtada al-Sadr, the Supreme Iraqi Islamic Council (SIIC), and the Fadhilah Party, along with ex-PM Ibrahim Jaafari and Ahmad Chalabi Kurdistan Alliance: Coalition dominated by the two parties administering Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdish region - the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) and Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), led by President Jalal Talabani http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-11688572

  7. http://www.cbi.iq/?pid=Home right hand side of page
  8. I for one happen to care about these people. I have cared for them for almost 7 years now . that was before we owned dinar and up until just lately all i figured our dinar was good for was wall papering the bathroom . we take our freedom for granted. something these people just got back after a very long time and they are working at getting it worked out the right way . may be our goverment sould take a lesson from them and sit down and talk things out what would be best for us and not them. Not all of us have been in this for the money, my husband spend 6 and a half years over there helping these people and they are very important. you would not be in the postion to have your dinar or the opportunity to get rich without them
  9. why does the dinar have to go on forex cant they just rv with out going on forex
  10. Got to love the bank rumors their great one of these times one of them will be true. It would be awsome if it is true
  11. any package you mail over seas can be searched it goes though customs and if they want to open the box they can just like they can search your luggage at the airport without asking you. I have learned over the last six and a half years that when I hand a package to the post office or my luggage to the clerk at the airport if they want to open it they will and as far as the airports luggage people if they want to take something out of it for them self they will do that to. that is why you never put anything important in your luggage or the mail just my 2 cents
  12. go to page button and click on translate this page

  17. Ok I have one for you who is going to tell these people who are mad already because their gov cannt get their act together. that now your 25,000 dinar is worth 25 dinar. your 1000 dina is worth 1 dinar and your 50 dinar is worth .05 dinar. this will make them very mad and I feel sorry for the person who would have to tell them that.. I would be checking my car for bombs after I made an announcement like that. They are protesting peacefully right now but I dont think that is what we will see if they tell their people their money is not really worth anything
  18. why does anybody listen to somebody on you tube come on people
