    SULAIMANI — A lawmaker in the Council of Representatives has alleged that more than 40 oilfields in disputed areas in Nineveh are operating under the direct control of companies owned by the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) and are guarded by security forces affiliated with the party.

    Change Movement (Gorran) MP Ghalib Muhammad wrote on his official Facebook page on Friday (September 27) that the income generated by these fields is not being transferred to either the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) or the federal government.

    “You can see the [KRG] natural resources ministry’s data, which does not reference to those oilfields; nor are their income sent to the Iraqi [government] treasury,” Muhammad said.

    “More than that, those companies, along with a number partisan armed forces, have spoiled the lives of the villages and the roads in the area, are not offering even a minimum-level of services to the people, and are preventing the reconstruction of Wardak village and its surrounding population, despite taking the oil.”

    Residents of several villages on the Nineveh Plain protested on Thursday against the companies and the lack of services. The demonstrations were broken up by the KDP’s security forces and arrested a number of villagers.

    The Gorran parliamentarian condemned the attack on the demonstrators.

    “We will work seriously to put an end to this pillage that has been going on for several years.”

    Gorran sits in government in the KRG with the KDP and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK).

    SULAIMANI – Head of the New Generation Movement caucus in the Council of Representatives Yusra Rajab said on Saturday (September 28) that the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) is not ready to submit even a drop of oil to Baghdad, despite demanding its budget share from the federal government.

    “If the Region would does not make an agreement with Baghdad about the [federal] draft budget, the salary payments of the Region’s employees may be endangered,” Rajab said during NRT's Hawali Rozh program.

    “We have asked the Iraqi Government to spend the Region’s funds and the Iraqi prime minister has promised to send funds to the Region’s farmers which were not paid in past years,” she said.

    “The Iraqi political parties are united about the Kurds and the KDP and PUK should wisely deal with the budget issue.”

    The failure of the KRG to send oil for export as required under this year’s budget appears set to seriously affect budget negotiations between Erbil and Baghdad. The asymmetrical observance of the 2019 has frustrated lawmakers in the federal government, which continues to send money to pay the KRG's salary bill.

    In recent weeks, there have been several high-level delegations that have traveled between the capitals.

    A committee was recently formed by the Council of Representatives to look into the less-than-transparent oil exports of the Kurdistan Region.

    The relationship between Iraq and China extends to the time of the establishment of Basra, which is not a relationship of conquests and occupations, and therefore the relationship with China is a complete historical context, and the contemporary relationship with it is not marred by the policies of hegemony and influence that are now practiced in our region.
    China is the largest trading and economic partner, importing most of our oil. In contrast, our imports are Chinese as defined by our private commercial sector. It is also an important investor in extracting our oil.
    The visit of the Prime Minister and the accompanying delegation comes in both historical and economic contexts, as well as industrial and agricultural projects. He also announced projects in Chinese energy, oil, road and belt entitlements in the international trade infrastructure transiting from FAO north to Europe. To pass 108 cities in 16 countries, the volume of trade with this group (8 billion euros) with an investment of approximately (500 billion dollars) for the years (2013 - 2018).
    With this investment and this potential we will be partners with its pioneer in this relationship, not a subordinate determined by regional and international policies through intermediaries or channels, where thanks to these policies our infrastructure continues to range from delay and poor performance.
    Our past experience has been disappointing to the elites and the citizen as a whole, so we can say that the visit is detailed according to its indicators and augur well for a general and high quality of the country after we put our points on our letters with unlimited accuracy and diligence. Current.
    Since 2003, the country intends to move to a market economy and gradually become a productive economy, but we have not benefited from the international experiences, especially in the field of investment, as most of the problems, first and foremost, have not been solved.
    In this situation, will we receive the qualitative Chinese relationship? Especially since this first meaning is his opinion and he is right, but this is a natural product of contexts that have moved away from their historical Iraq as a civilization and heritage that extends deep into time.
    First, we need an effective law for a national oil company that turns our previous equations as a reservoir of oil blessings to become our active oil in industry and agriculture, integrating them organically with them, not just fees and taxes. , A service board outside the equation, a federal court, and a public prosecution to set the rhythm) to reassure our larger partner economically and the rest of the partners know their boundaries, both international and regional, hoping that our prime minister's visit will take its Me.
