The longer Iraq goes without forming a real government the more time the opposition has to organize protests and other forms of civil disobedience to put pressure on the government.  Violence and chaos to obtain power.  This is all coming from Iran and it’s Iraqi paid off politicians.   The protests and the calling for Abadi to step down is NOT a good development imo.  

You're right again Mr. P.  I look at this as the same old "Maliki Malarky" we went through for so long back in '14.   That's why I am a little less "unsettled" by these shenanigans.  They are  totally predictable developments in the House of Camel Dung!

Iraqi Vice President and leader of the National Coalition, Ayad Allawi said on Saturday that successive federal and local governments failed to deal with the demands of the people of Basra.

Allawi pointed out that the government must solve the problems that people of Basra are suffering from, adding that the situation in Basra is not much different from the rest of the provinces.

He stressed that fighting corruption and improving services provided to Basra's residents need serious decisions from the government.

On July 8, protests erupted in Basra against shortage of jobs, electricity, water and basic services.

According to security and medical sources, 14 Iraqis had been killed and wounded in the protests.

Agree pokebu, it’s pretty obvious to me that Iran is going to use every means possible to hold Iraq back.  The last thing they need or want is a strong Iraq with a strong international Dinar.  Iraq should change the rate and see what happens. The alternative sure isn’t working now is it.

Former Basra province's MP, Furat al-Shara said on Saturday that the visit of Prime Minister Haider Abadi has failed to achieve its goals, noting that the demonstrations witnessed in Basra and other Iraqi provinces sent a clear message to all politicians.

Shara pointed out that the demonstrations are still continuing, confirming that there are no attacks on government facilities and political blocs' headquarters as the security forces are dealing with protester in a good way.

On July 8, protests erupted in Basra against shortage of jobs, electricity, water and basic services.

Basra is the province that produce the most oil and gas in Iraq...... Iran knows that.

Iran strategy is to keep Iraq in a turmoil ...... They know they are loosing their power in Iraq.

Iran and Maliki's tentacles are behind this protest

No seated government 

No signs of stability 

Protests in Basra and 4 other provinces

Great!  Now Maliki will come in and promise them the moon and stars, and everyone will conveniently forget how it was the last time Maliki was Prime Minister.

Seems like Iraq goes from bad to worse!

Sorry to let off steam, but I'm about fed up with that country.  

I just don't understand those people.

But then, I don't understand the liberals in this country either.

Iraqi PM pledges to provide jobs, basic services amid protests across provinces

Source: Xinhua| 2018-07-14 03:31:12|Editor: Mu Xuequan

 

BAGHDAD, July 13 (Xinhua) -- Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi on Friday pledged to meet the demands of protesters in the southern oil hub of Basra for jobs and basic services.

"We will pay the necessary funds for Basra, which needs services and reconstruction," Abadi told tribal leaders and dignitaries after his meeting with local officials in Basra, some 550 km south of the capital Baghdad.

"We are now moving from a state of war to peace after the Islamic State (IS) group threatened our existence four years ago, and we have liberated our land six months ago," Abadi said.

Iraq is now confronted with the remnants of IS militants, and will uproot its ideology whether inside or outside Iraq, he said.

Abadi's visit to Basra came days after protests by hundreds of people in the region, including storming the oil fields of West Qurna-1 and West Qurna-2 in the north of Basra city.

The protests turned violent on Thursday at the entrance of the West Qurna-2 oil field as some protesters shoved the armed guards. A guard opened fire, wounding two protesters.

On July 8, a protester was killed and three others wounded when local police opened fire at a crowd of demonstrators against rising unemployment at an entrance of an oil field in West Qurna-2, some 80 km north of Basra.

Also on Friday, dozens of demonstrators took to the streets in the holy Shiite provinces of Najaf and Karbala, as well as the provinces of Babil, Muthanna, Dhi Qar and Maysan, in protest of the failure of the Iraqi government to solve unemployment and bring back the public services since 2003.

ERBIL — The Iraqi government has imposed a blockade on Facebook across the country in the wake of growing and violent protest in southern provinces. 

The social media platform, which is the most popular in Iraq, has also been blocked in the Kurdistan Region while it remains safe and away from protests. 

Iraq’s southern provinces, including Basra, Najaf, Karbala, Misan, Dhi Qar are witnessing widespread protests in which people demand jobs, electricity, water and other public services. 

It is not clear yet for how long the social media blockade is planned.

The Kuwaiti Dinar did not revalue.  They lowered the value to 10 cents after Saddam stole their money out of the banks and started distributing it in Iraq.

Then, after the war, they issued new currency and brought the value back up.
