Long-Presse / Baghdad

Challenged "reform front", on Wednesday, the report of the Committee of Experts submitted to the Federal Court on the legality of the two sessions of Parliament meetings, on 14 and April 26.

Furthermore, the Federal Court postponed consideration of darts made by a number of the sacked ministers until after the resolution of a lawsuit Parliament.

This coincided with the return of Kurds minister to Baghdad and their participation in the recent Cabinet meeting, for the first time after the incident to storm parliament late last April.

The Federal Court decided, yesterday, to choose five new experts, 48 hours after the leak of a copy of the three former staff report. As it adjourned the hearing to Monday of next week.

Leaked report, seen by the (range), was signed by the Dean of the Faculty of Information at the University of Baghdad D.hashim Hassan al-Tamimi, and his assistant d. Ammar al-Tahir, the Director of Media Baghdad University d. Just Ghurairy, who are experts seconded to the Federal Court to consider recordings parliamentary sessions.

Experts "unfair" report!

But Alloizi MP Abdul Rahman, a member of the reform front, considered that "the leak before the date of the hearing was deliberate to influence the court and public opinion."

The Alloizi, (range) yesterday, that "the report leaked version is the same as that offered yesterday to the Federal Court", describing the report as "biased."

MP felt that the "experts intervened in issues that are not within their assigned tasks while neglecting other important aspects."

According to the Committee of Experts report, "the number of quorum in the dismissal of the Presidency in the 14/4 meeting was 129 MPs, while the number of voters amounted to dismiss parliament speaker Salim al-Jubouri, only 121 deputies, declined 8 MPs from voting."

Experts stressed in their report that "the audit lists of signatures attached to the case file turned out to be a private and not a quorum to vote," arguing that "matching the faces of the House of Representatives with the photographs made it clear they are identical."

Regarding the April 19 meeting attendance of 126 deputies stood Committee did not able to calculate the number of voters on the interim presidency.

The meeting of the selection of ministers, which was held under the chairmanship of al-Jubouri, the Committee saw it, "he was held in the presence of 173 deputies, and 3 of the Presidency, and a single decision, while attendance in the second chamber (constitutional) after intercepting the House of Representatives reached attendance of 175 deputies in addition to four of the Presidency and decision."

He says Alloizi who attended the recent hearing by the Federal Court, "The Front reform challenged the report of the experts also chose two experts out of five will be assigned by the court for the same purpose."

The court decided to choose Adil al-Lami, the former head of the election commission, with each of the parties to a lawsuit chose two experts.

He continued by saying that the reform front, "we have learned the lesson from the past, we will decide to experts specific questions to answer, because the former experts neglected a number of questions and the details contained in the tablets we presented to the Court."

Alloizi experts also criticized the report, saying its inability to determine the number of voters in the April 26 hearing, that the front challenging as valid, while they were able to determine the number of attendees only.

According to the report, the Committee of Experts, was unable to determine the number of voters to the speed photography and not sit in the House of Representatives allocated their places, but they confirmed the match Photo deputies present with photographs.

In the 26th Parliament held two sessions, the first in a regular room, and then moved to the Great Hall after the outbreak of altercations between the House and the Prime Minister. Alloizi says that "the difference between the sessions was 3 hours," and wondered "how Parliament kept on the number of attendees?".

And continuing member of the Front, reform his questions "how the number of MPs increased in the second room, and some lawmakers, who belonged to the then President of the Parliament team, they could not enter the hall after the closure, Kalnaibh chest Magda Tamimi."

The expert panel said that "the interim president Adnan al-Janabi voted to temporarily elected in two sessions of 16 April 19 in a manner of manual voting," he noted that "some members have signed the lists before the day of the meeting, such as Khalaf Abdul Samad, and Niyazi Oglu, and Ferdous al-Awadi, who signed on 12 April, as were some bold signatures, the others Light color gives the possibility of write-off. "

 

The return of Kurds Minister

In another context, it enables the Council of Ministers, after four consecutive sessions of achieving a quorum.And attended Tuesday's session, the Kurds Minister after the return of three deputies Kurdistan blocks last month to Baghdad.

He says Amin Bakr, a member of the Kurdish bloc change, "The ministers attending the Kurds trapped in solidarity with the Kurdish deputies who have been subjected to humiliation and beatings in the incident Aguetahm parliament."

And it came back after a cabinet meeting of the heads of the Kurdish blocs with Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi late last month.

He said Baker, in an interview with the (range) yesterday, saying "the meeting was to talk about non-recurrence of what happened to the deputies, and the necessity of the participation of Kurds in the decision-making within the Council of Ministers."

But the masses of Kurdistan does not seem to agree with the return of ministers to Baghdad, he says MP Muthana Amin, head of the Islamic Union bloc, "we did not agree on the return of ministers, we'd like to change all the ministers in the government."

He denies Amin, told the (range), knowing what took place in the meeting of heads of Kurdish blocs with Prime Minister al-Abadi, and whether they got him on the new safeguards.

Kurdish lawmaker says, "We advised deputies Kurdish leaders not to accept the return of ministers unconditionally guarantee the actual participation in the government."

And was attended by about 40 Kurdish deputies, out of 60, before the last session of the second legislative term, as were a number of dignitaries have visited the Kurdistan region, the most prominent House Speaker Salim al. From: Wael blessing

Iraqi Parliament Update: Quorum Reached as Reform Front Fractures, Kurds Lose Leverage

Jun 8, 2016 - Institute for t...

By Emily Anagnostos

 Key Takeaway: The Council of Representatives (CoR) successfully reached quorum and convened two sessions on May 29 and May 31. The CoR struggled to reach this threshold since members formed a rump CoR on April 12. Despite the limited success of May 29 and 31, the CoR has not returned to its pre-April 12 state and many political blocs remain withdrawn. The CoR will not likely soon resolve fundamental issues in the political process needed to pass legislation required to acquire the critical International Monetary Fund (IMF) loan or address security breaches in Baghdad, which will likely require a reorganization of security forces in the capital. The sessions also exposed underlying fractures in the Reform Front between hardliners and compromisers, which will weaken the opposition bloc in the CoR and lead to the reintegration of some members to their original parties. The Reform Front is also in danger of losing its tenuous legitimacy and leverage as a nascent political party if the Federal Court strikes down the constitutionality of the rump CoR, the Reform Front’s predecessor. The CoR has already demonstrated that it can and will leave the Reform Front behind to continue to function. Additionally, Kurdish parties have lost their leverage over Baghdad as some Kurdish members ended their boycott without any promise of requested financial assistance. The failure to secure these funds has underscored the limit to Kurdish parties’ power in the Iraqi Government when operating outside the umbrella of the Kurdistan Alliance.

Council of Representatives meets quorum on May 29

The Council of Representatives (CoR) reached quorum and held its first meeting in a month on May 29, marking the slow thawing of political parties’ opposition to the political process. The CoR had fractured on April 12 when a group of members calling for the resignation of the three presidencies – Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi, President Fuad Masoum, and CoR Speaker Salim al-Juburi – formed a rump parliament. The rump parliament passed a vote to dismiss Juburi on April 14 and denounced the CoR under Juburi as illegal. Even with the rump CoR acting separately, the legal CoR chaired by Juburi still managed to convene a session on April 26. At that meeting, attending members voted in five new ministers as a part of PM Abadi’s ongoing efforts to reshuffle the Council of Ministers. The success of the April 26 session in face of the rump CoR’s obstruction prompted it to disband and reform as an opposition bloc on April 28. The bloc, the Reform Front, immediately boycotted the CoR, as it maintained the fundamental principle of the rump CoR that Juburi was not the legal Speaker.

The legal CoR lost momentum between April 26 and April 30, likely because the April 30 session was set to vote on major ministerial positions that political blocs, including the Kurds, were unwilling to relinquish. Several parties, including the Kurds and the Sadrist Trend-affiliated Ahrar Bloc, refused to attend the session, so it failed to meet quorum. Sadrist protesters then stormed the Green Zone on April 30, leading to a mass exodus of political parties from parliament. The protests had severed any chance of regaining the momentum of the reshuffle process. The political process subsequently froze in Iraq for nearly a month as each party set specific conditions for its return.

Juburi met with political leaders prior to May 29 ostensibly to discuss the agenda for the CoR session and likely to mobilize members to meet quorum. He stated that the session would be held “in solidarity” with security forces in Fallujah, who were then on the verge of entering into the city limits. This language set a patriotic tone, which many have cited as the reason why enough individual CoR members and political parties attended the session. An unconfirmed number of Kurdish members attended; Kurdish members withdrew from Baghdad on May 1 after security forces failed to protect the CoR from protesters on April 30. The returning members were likely affiliated with the Patriotic Union and Kurdistan (PUK) and Gorran, who have shown a greater inclination to return to Baghdad than the leading Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP). The PUK also previously announced on May 22 that it would attend any future CoR session, indicating that Kurdish participants were likely from the PUK. The Sadrist Trend-affiliated Ahrar Bloc did not attend the session and continued to demand a vote on a technocratic Cabinet in order to secure its return.

Initially five members short, the May 29 session ultimately reached quorum. PM Abadi made a surprise visit to the session, where he spoke of operations in Fallujah and Mosul and announced his intent to soon present the rest of the ministerial nominations for a CoR vote. Like Juburi, PM Abadi used the operation in Fallujah to call for political solidarity. He will likely continue to try to capitalize on the patriotic ethos in order to reset the political conditions and pass both required legislation and his reform agenda. PM Abadi also needs the political climate to remain stable to provide basic security throughout the country as ISIS attacks are likely to increase during the holy month of Ramadan. The CoR session failed to address both the ministerial reshuffle further and the legislation needed to receive the IMF loan. The IMF had stipulated on May 12 that the Iraqi Government reduce its 2016 federal budget as a condition for receiving major loans from both the IMF and other international financial institutions. Reducing the federal budget requires parliamentary legislation.

The May 29 session unanimously voted to extend the legislative term one month and adjourned until May 30. That session was postponed one day on the prospect of larger numbers of CoR members joining the session, primarily those from the Reform Front. Juburi stated that there were “positive signs” and that he had received a “serious letter” from the Reform Front on the need to hold a unified session. The session did meet on May 31, and several Reform Front members attended. However, the CoR announced that it was on a legislative holiday, usually taken during Ramadan, and that the May 31 session was an extraordinary one. At the session, members further discussed operations in Fallujah but still did not address the IMF loan or the cabinet reshuffle. Juburi announced that the CoR would adjourn until July 1, with the possibility of holding extraordinary sessions when needed. Since May 31, the political scene in Iraq has fallen silent.  

Reform Front may split over Federal Court’s strategy of delay

The Federal Court convened its first session on May 25 to rule on the constitutionality of the April 14 and April 26 CoR sessions. The rump CoR voted to dismiss Speaker Juburi on April 14, and on April 26 the legal CoR approved the five ministers under PM Abadi’s Cabinet reshuffle. The Reform Front maintains that the April 14 session met quorum while challenging that the April 26 session chaired by Juburi met quorum. Likewise, the legal CoR rejects the April 14 session as legitimate and upholds the constitutionality of the April 26 session.

The Federal Court is likely pursuing a strategy of delay in order to force political parties to come to an organic agreement. If the strategy fails, a court ruling could further complicate the political crisis and will likely result in blowback. The Federal Court thus ruled on May 25 that experts were needed to assist in the case; it adjourned the session until May 29, which coincided with the resumption of the CoR. The Federal Court resumed the morning prior to the CoR session, swore in two experts for the case, and then adjourned until June 8 when the experts would present their initial findings. The court later announced on June 6 that the June 8 session would only discuss the appeals against the April 26 session, further delaying discussion of the April 14 rump CoR session. The CoR will be well into their legislative holiday by June 8, so the results will have no immediate effect.

The impending decision of the Federal Court is linked to the conditions of the return of the Reform Front as it refuses to return to the CoR as long as Juburi remains chair. This attitude, however, precludes the group from negotiating with other political parties who do not consider Juburi’s position as up for negotiation. Moreover, the Reform Front’s stringent demand that Juburi is removed is a high risk to take if the Federal Court rules in Juburi’s favor.

The Reform Front does not currently operate under a unified framework. The Front is divided between two dominant parties, elements of the Dawa Party that support former Prime Minster Nouri-al Maliki and members of Ayad Allawi’s Wataniya party. These two parties, as well as Maliki and Allawi, will use the Reform Front’s size and leverage to accomplish their own interests in the CoR. Both Maliki and Allawi will also try to commandeer the Reform Front as a vehicle for their return to power. Despite the political freeze, events continue to progress that require parliamentary participation and approval, including the impending IMF loan. Operations in Fallujah will soon require parliamentary discussion on reconstruction efforts and management of the internally displaced refugees (IDP). The CoR will not wait for the Reform Front to participate if it can achieve quorum without them.

The risk of being left behind in the CoR has also split the Reform Front between those who would and would not compromise with the CoR in order to return to the political process. Many hardliners in the Reform Front maintain that they will not return until the Federal Court reaches a decision, and they have stated that they will not accept any “political settlement” for their return. These hardliners have also denied reports that the Reform Front is discussing proposals on how to return to the CoR session if Juburi survives the Federal Court case. The Federal Court’s delayed ruling on the April 14 session further jeopardizes the Reform Front’s relevancy if it remains distant from the political stage for too long. The Front will also lose its leverage if the CoR can find a way to resume the political process without the opposition bloc.

The continued delay has forced the return of Reform Front members who cannot afford to wait for the Federal Court to come to a decision - a reported ten Reform Front members attended the May 29 session. Some of the members were reportedly from Anbar Province and had to attend the session because it dealt with Fallujah. The Reform Front’s boycott is incompatible with individual partisan responsibilities, and those members will need to remain active in the decision making process in order to serve their constituencies and further their unique party interests. The May 31 session also reportedly included several Reform Front members. A Reform Front member had stated that 15 members had elected to attend the session as an opposition party, rather than boycott the sessions until Juburi was removed from his position. These members may be under similar pressure to remain active in the political scene in order to achieve specific demands. Their participation may also suggest that the hardline approach is unsustainable as a party line and that the Reform Front does not have the vision to be a functional political entity.

If the Federal Court invalidates the rump CoR’s actions, the hardliners will likely remain divided between Allawi and Maliki while the compromisers will likely return to the CoR, either to their former political parties or as a weakened opposition bloc. If the Reform Front wants to remain a credible political entity in the CoR, it must create a political agenda that can exist outside the simple black-and-white framework of whether Juburi remains as CoR speaker.  

Kurdish blocs lose leverage in Baghdad

The Kurdistan Alliance withdrew from the political process on May 1, citing the failure of security forces to protect CoR members from the protesters on April 30. The Kurdistan Alliance later announced on May 5 that the conditions of their return were centered on financial concessions from Baghdad. The international community and major political officials in Iraq engaged the Kurdish parties the following two weeks to secure their return to the CoR, focusing the majority of these efforts on the PUK and Gorran, both opposition parties within the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). The softening of the PUK and Gorran’s stance regarding the enticement of the impending IMF loan compounded by the announcement of a new political alliance between the PUK and Gorran on May 18 led to the fracture of the Kurdistan Alliance, as the leading KDP party remained opposed to returning to Baghdad. The PUK announced on May 22 that it would return to the next CoR session, breaking from the umbrella of the Kurdistan Alliance. It later appended its statement on May 23 to note that their return would follow negotiations alongside other Kurdish parties with PM Abadi regarding their demands.

Kurdish political leaders met with PM Abadi on May 28 to discuss conditions of their return, but they failed to extract any valuable concessions. The KDP was not present at that meeting. Pictures have shown only PUK parliamentary leader Ala Talabani, Gorran parliamentary leader Hoshyar Abdullah, and Gorran Second Deputy Speaker Aram Sheikh Muhammad with PM Abadi. A later report on June 6 confirmed that three Kurdish parties went to Baghdad and participated in the CoR sessions – the PUK, Gorran and the Kurdistan Islamic Union (KIU) as the likely third party – while two remained in Iraqi Kurdistan, the KDP and likely the Kurdistan Islamic Group (KIG).

The Kurdish Alliance previously enjoyed its power in numbers as it occupied nearly one-fifth of the parliamentary seats. The Kurds could leverage their unified size in the CoR in return for financial concessions. The splinter of the political process highlighted internal fractures within the Kurdistan Alliance, however, primarily between the PUK and Gorran and the KDP. When individual parties sought concessions from Abadi outside of the Kurdish Alliance, the parties no longer had the upper hand in negotiations. As such, the Kurdish blocs returned to the CoR without much to show for their month-long boycott. Kurdistan Islamic Union (KIU) parliamentary leader Muthanna Amin stated that PM Abadi during the May 28 meeting had not signaled any intention of granting the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) any portion of international loans. PM Abadi has not made any public indication to support or deny this accusation. The greatest incentive for the Kurdish parties to remain active in the political process was the prospect of receiving a significant international financial assistance, notably the IMF loan, which could drag the Kurds out of their own economic crisis and support ongoing military operations. Kurdish members may have returned to the CoR on May 29 without the guarantee of financial concessions in hopes that it can more easily extract concessions from within Baghdad than from Arbil. The Kurdish parties do not have the individual clout to seek negotiations in Baghdad, however, and are at risk of receiving less financial assistance from Baghdad than they did before. The federal government has effectively outlasted the Kurdish boycott and eliminated the Kurdish leverage over the government.  

The Kurdish parties will use the month-long legislative holiday to regroup, and it is likely that they will present on July 1 a more unified framework towards the federal government. PUK Second Secretary General Barham Salih stated on June 1 that the PUK would work to maintain relations with the KDP and stressed the need for coordination between all Kurdish political actors in the interests of Iraqi Kurdistan. KDP member and KRG Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani reaffirmed the need for dialogue between Baghdad and Arbil. He stated that there is no intention for a KRG delegation to visit Baghdad, but that some Kurdish political actors may go “individually.” An unconfirmed source leaked on June 2 that the major parties in the KRG had reached an agreement to redistribute positions in the Kurdish government, suggesting that Gorran would resume the position of parliamentary speaker, and the KDP would give the position of prime minister to the PUK as President Masoud Barzani would stay in his position. This agreement would continue until 2017 elections. The report is unverified, but it suggests that the Kurds have witnessed the blowback caused by a lack of Kurdish consensus in Baghdad and are reevaluating how the Kurdish political parties operate in both Baghdad and Arbil.

The ongoing financial issues in the KRG will push the Kurds to resurrect the Kurdistan Alliance as the Kurdish parties are unlikely to give up demands regarding financial assistance. KDP member Najiba Najib spoke on behalf of the Kurdistan Alliance on June 4, calling for 17% of any financial assistance given to Iraq as a constitutional right. Iraqi Kurdistan, as a part of Iraq, legally stands to gain a portion of any financial assistance given to Iraq. The specific percentage is not constitutionally specific and 17% is the percentage of the Iraqi federal budget allocated the region each year. Najib had previously stated on May 10 that the “partnership between Baghdad and Arbil had collapsed.” Najib’s inflammatory rhetoric likely aimed to drive Baghdad to offer greater concessions in order to prevent political separation between Arbil and Baghdad. The KDP will likely try to restore the leverage that the Kurdistan Alliance had in early May when they announced the boycott in order to receive financial support from Baghdad.

The KDP, however, will also try to restore the Kurdistan Alliance in a way to benefits their party interests and reestablishes their dominance over the other Kurdish parties, most notably the PUK-Gorran Alliance, which formed on May 18. KDP member Kamal Kujar stated on June 6 that the split in the Kurdish parties over the return to the May 20 and 31 sessions was a “misunderstanding,” and that the PUK now “regrets” their return to Baghdad as PM Abadi did not guarantee any of their demands. Kujar announced that the Kurdish parties share a common “vision” of returning to Baghdad, but that the Kurdish people pressured the Kurdish parties to boycott the CoR and demand concessions from the federal government. The KDP will likely leverage the PUK’s failure to achieve concessions from Baghdad in order to pressure the PUK to return to a Kurdish agenda determined by the KDP.

The Ramadan holiday will likely witness internal Kurdish negotiations regarding the timeframe of a full Kurdish return to Baghdad and the political stance of the Kurdistan Alliance regarding the Iraqi Government. The KDP knows that the PUK cannot return to Baghdad successfully without it, so the group will likely use their own return as a bargaining chip to maintain their dominance in Kurdish politics in both Baghdad and Arbil. The PUK can undermine this leverage by threatening to return to Baghdad alone, but doing so would both undermine the group’s ability to gain concessions for Iraqi Kurdistan and alienate the party from the greater Kurdistan Alliance. The KDP could use the PUK’s misstep to reaffirm its preeminent position in the KRG and resume negotiations with Baghdad with the full force of the Kurdistan Alliance behind it.  

The conditions in Iraq by July 1 will likely require urgent action in the CoR, possibly allowing the Kurdistan Alliance to re-secure its leverage over Baghdad. Operations in Fallujah will likely have progressed into the city, and as ISIS is squeezed out it will increase attacks in other areas as retaliation. The financial situation is unlikely to improve given ongoing military operations, and the Iraqi Government will likely find itself burdened with an increased IDP crisis following operations in Fallujah. The Iraqi Government will no longer have the flexibility to further delay the CoR and political process to its benefit. Instead, it will need to meet the conditions of the Kurdish parties’ return in order to maintain a CoR quorum and pass needed legislation. The Kurdistan Alliance will likely have the opportunity to reform its conditions, and if it can present reasonable and feasible ones, the Iraqi Government will likely meet them.

[Where - particularly] 
in the parliamentary legal committee member said that the Federal Court is stalling in the case of two sessions of Council meetings , the House of Representatives in the month of April.

Said Hassan Turan told all of Iraq [where] that " the Federal Court is trying to distance itself from the resolution of the issue of Parliament do not even counted it with a party or against another party and this is a stance is not justified by the Federal Court because their presence resolving these differences of interest to the fate of the country and the political process in Iraq. " 
He said Turan" the recordings are clear and were given were three experts appointed stabbed their report in the previous session and now five experts was postponed the matter to June 28 th, knowing that the legislative term will begin on the first of July, adding that "this is procrastination and Tsoeva of before and unacceptable federal court at all. " 
He said we hope the Federal Court to resolve this matter so that the political process is moving smoothly and convene parliament again with the beginning of the legislative term to discuss many important security issues and legislation of interest to all Iraqis." 
He continued by legal ICRC to "if it does not settle the issue by mutual consent you tried many parties in it, the court that made up its mind and be determined to issue a resolution on the events , which took place at the meetings that have been challenged and even be on the light choose the appropriate way to handle things after the Federal Court decision, while the repeated postponement weakens confidence in the court and also gives the impression that the court wants to distance itself from solving this big problem in Iraq.

I do believe it would be true and righteous for the court to operate in the same despicable manor in which these Ministers did while they were working for the Iraqi people. I do so hope the court comes out on the 28th of this month and reschedules this hearing for the middle of July! It would be within their power to do so, and is often in the defendants favor. If there is a coming together of Abadi's vision for Iraq between now and even the 28th, those nut cases will be ran out of town (or strung up like Hussain) once they see what Abadi can do without them as part of the cabinet. That is what scares those yahoos. They can't block Abadi's progress anymore!??

[Synopsis]

Medhat Mahmoud, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Federal Court, is very likely stalling to give Nouri al-Maliki and associates more time.  Looks like the instigators of the chaos in the parliament are the center piece of the issues, too, and ways are being sought to circumvent due judicial processes and so to avoid providing a firm basis for starting the prosecution processes for Nouri al-Maliki and associates.  With those released from prison because of being falsely imprisoned by Maliki and associates, the progress being made in the reforms (albeit somewhat stalled temporarily), the clerics' calls for reforms and removal of corruption, and the Iraqis pressing urgently for the removal of corruption and the implementation of the reforms - something has got to give.  With the IMF, WB, and other loans being granted, with conditions, I can't imagine these dysfunctional practices can continue at the hands of Nouri al-Maliki and associates and Medhat Mahmoud.  My opinion, these cast of characters will have justice served on them in the not too distant future.  I suspect we'll some indication of how things will go before the end of Ramadan or shortly thereafter since al-Sadr has been asking for patience until the end of Ramadan.

imo. They are stalling for the outcome of the battle for fallujah and mosul. This will give abadi the momentum he needs going into the next session of parliament. They have already held 2 sessions of parliament since the storming of it, and that was to show that they can and will continue. The fact that the federal court has supposedly sworn in 5 investigators is the first of its kind that has been done as along as i have been studying this investment. This will keep the ship calmer not only during ramadan, but during these major battles. If the federal court were to come out now and say that rendered a decision in favor of jabouri and that the sessions werent legal that the reform front held, then all hell would break loose during a time when they need the political rhetoric to be calmer so they can wage these battles. Abadi has said it time and time again that the political bickering has to stop so they can remain united to fight daash. He is amending laws and getting them sent to parliament so when parliament does reconvene they will have the most important laws on the agenda to get passed. Meanwhile the economic side of it is moving along fast, and we need unity to get all these things done. Please remember not to allow every article to upset you. Iraqi's are notorious for talking all the time when parliament is not in session. I lend this bit of advice. If the person speaking is not someone you are familiar with then disregard it because any mp will speak as long as someone sticks a mic in front of their mouth.

Thanks yoda for the update and articles. This kangaroo court of Iraq has to be the laughing stock of the middle east, because when the 28th of June gets here the decision will be postponed until after Ramadan and the feast. The greatest thing going on for us is we could care less if the court ever makes a decision on this or if parliament ever holds another session.

Everything has been voted on that needs parliament approval for the loans. Yoda has posted articles relating to as much. I would respectfully disagree that the HCL has to be voted on an made law before the IMF and World bank loans are implemented. Folks go back an read the conditions set by the World Bank an the IMF back in December for these loans, nothing about an HCL mentioned. Did anybody happen to read this article yesterday? The numbers are starting to line up folks with what the Minister of Plannings Feasibility Study determined. (1.134) dollar per dinar

Iraqi Central takes action to enhance liquidity

Us dollar = 1.171 thousand dinars
