    A little help here please, exactly what would the poor be in danger of? 
    Maybe getting rich or having more money to spend. 
    Unless there are different levels of being poor this is a funny statement to me….

    Now this is the joke for the day, who are they gonna file this legal action to? 
    It certainly couldn’t be to their Federal Court, the Barzani family has already shown how much they adhere to their rulings. 
    Maybe they should try some international court….

  3. Unbelievable, they don’t have a seated government from last year elections, plus the crooked Kurdistan region refuses to abide by a Federal Court decision BUT they will spend an entire session on making a law to keep Israel from their land…just when you thought they’ve hit rock bottom with their politics, they show you they can go deeper.

  4. Good morning yota….

    My comment yesterday about that statement was correct. 
    The Barzani family and the Kurdistan band of thieves doesn’t want ANY outside third party knowing their oil money business. 
    I’m certainly not a Kurdistan fan but anyone who’s been in this gamble for any length of time knows the Barzani family and their cronies are keeping that part of Iraq poor. 
    Until recently they’ve been unable to pay their bills without their monthly stipend from the CBI. These people can’t even agree on a president to nominate. 
    Al-Sadr will need to apply lots of pressure to the oil minister and others to get the Barzani family in check with the wishes of their Federal Court rulings…

    un security council approves sending special envoy to organize negotiations between baghdad and erbil

    baghdad - nas  

    the un security council on saturday approved the dispatch of a un envoy to organize negotiations that would radically solve differences between baghdad and erbil.  

      

    "the un security council has approved a request by regional president nechirvan barzani to send a un envoy to organize negotiations between erbil and baghdad to find a radical solution to the outstanding issues between the two sides," the kurdistan regional presidency's information office said in a statement received by nas(may 21, 2022).  

    "next week, the security council will issue a draft resolution to renew the work of the united nations mission and discuss the issue in private," he said.  

    If the crooked Barzani family won’t adhere to the laws handed down by their own Federal Judicial Court, what makes us believe that they will abide or entertain anything a bunch of foreign bean counters would recommend.
    The oil minister should contact everyone of the companies that Kurdistan is selling oil to and threaten them with a law suit and tell them Iraq will not be doing anymore busyness with them once finalized….

    Commenting on what was stated by the Minister of Oil, Ihsan Abdul-Jabbar Ismail, regarding negotiations with the Kurdistan Region - Iraq, in implementation of Federal Court Decision No. This decision and its implementation, it can be said that there are a set of practical and procedural steps that help the Ministry and the company to do so, and the most important of these procedures are the following:
     
     1. The Ministry of Oil, through the Oil Marketing Company (SOMO), notifies and informs all international oil companies that purchase crude oil not to deal with the Ministry of Natural Resources in the regional government, and with foreign contracting companies (under production sharing contracts) and not to purchase crude oil produced from The fields of the Kurdistan region - Iraq. Otherwise, SOMO will file lawsuits against the companies that buy this oil, given that the ownership of the oil belongs to the Republic of Iraq.
     
     2. The Ministry of Oil, through SOMO, informs the oil-purchasing companies that they must pay the amounts resulting from the differences in crude oil prices for the quantities of oil they have purchased or purchased from the Ministry of Natural Resources, based on the official prices announced by SOMO on the dates of sale and purchase.
     
     3. Coordination between the Ministry of Oil and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to prepare a message that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will send to all countries of the world through Iraqi embassies abroad, in which it is clarified that the ownership of petroleum wealth (oil and gas) is for the Iraqi people, and that the development of this wealth and its revenues belong to all the Iraqi people, and it is illegal Dealing with the Ministry of Natural Resources in the region independently, as well as not allowing the establishment of any kind of activities related to oil and gas by representatives of the region in these countries.
     
     4. The Ministry of Oil informs all the oil companies contracting with the Ministry of Natural Resources in the region (production-sharing contracts) that their contracts are invalid based on the decision of the Federal Court, and that they must reconsider their situation, otherwise they will bear the legal consequences of continuing to implement those contracts.
     
     5. The Ministry of Oil informs the Turkish government of not allowing and facilitating the export of crude oil produced from the region's fields. Otherwise, the Turkish government bears the legal and financial consequences of that.
     
     6. Coordination between the Ministry of Oil, the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank of Iraq to notify the banks in which the proceeds of the sale of crude oil produced from the fields of the region were deposited with the seizure and freezing of those financial returns as they belong to the Republic of Iraq and based on the decision of the Federal Court.
     
     7. The Ministry of Oil informs the companies working on laying oil and gas pipelines from the region to outside Iraq, or the companies operating the pipeline system, to stop their work and activities and that what they are doing is against the law.
     
     8. Coordination between the Ministry of Oil and the Ministry of Finance - under the direction of the Council of Ministers - to stop paying any amounts to the regional government for its monthly dues, and not to include any financial dues to the region in the general federal budget for the year 2022.
     
     9. The Ministry of Oil continues to approach the regional government in writing to maintain negotiations and discussions With the Ministry of Natural Resources and not to stop that on its part, provided that the negotiating delegation from the region is at the appropriate level, not that this delegation is at a lower level on the part of the Ministry of Oil, or that it is intended to waste time.
     
     10. Coordination between the Ministry of Oil and the Federal Office of Financial Supervision to review records and documents related to the quantities of crude oil and natural gas produced from the region's fields, oil derivatives and financial returns arising from the sale of crude oil and gas.

     

    All these measures require a sincere will, boldness and courage based on achieving the public interest and the benefit of all the Iraqi people of all stripes, components and nationalities, and not condoning the interest of the country and the people for useless individual, factional and political considerations and interests

    Thanks 6ly410 for this article, number 8 is what I keep screaming about….

    This is starting to get good an as soon as Baghdad can figure out a way to implement what the courts have declared we should be golden…

  7. What puzzles me is the CBI keeps sending the region 10 billion Dinars every month, are whatever that number is. 
    I haven’t figured out who all is getting these kickbacks but I’m thinking it’s many. 
    Kurdistan politicians are stealing all the oil money of the region PLUS what Baghdad sends them each month while the citizens starve….

    I agree that the Barzani family needs to be brought before an international court along with several other crooked politicians and enact the Supreme Court decision about the oil.

    “The region has no choice but to implement the decision of the Federal Court”

     

    Lets see who win battle the Federal Court or The Barzani’s.

     

    Go Iraq 

    Go HCL 

    Go Profit Sharing 

    Go Purchasing Power

     

     

    Agreed LB, my only concern with the Federal Court is how much influence the crooked Barzani family has over it. 
    My money is still on Al-Sadr, if he will stick to his guns and get some help from the Federal Court and a couple of the Kurdish blocks they will get this HCL passed. 
    I will also finally agree with Adam Montana that nothing will happen until the HCL is passed….

  9. Can’t figure out Al-Sadr end game. 
    He gave the Al-Maliki Iranian bunch 40 days to form a government and now gives the independents two weeks to form the government. 
    He knows better than anyone their not capable of forming the government, so what is his plan after these two weeks. 
    He surely has to have been talking to someone about this mess, maybe the federal courts have given him some options. I said nothing would happen when he gave Al-Maliki and his cronies 40 days to do something. 
    I guess we’ll have to wait another two weeks to find out his game plan….

  10. Not sure why this is in the rumors section because it’s a fact. 
    Engine 1 is correct, this ISO will be taking the place of the Swift system by 2025 and I will give some kudos to Iraq for getting ahead of the curve instead of begging for relief. 
    This is a pretty big deal because it connects banks internationally and gives Iraq a leg up on any future international transactions. 
    I like that….
