UPDATE: Iraqi parliament elects former Anbar governor as new speaker

 

by Mohamed Mostafa Sep 15, 2018, 12:20 pm

 

 

Iraqi parliament.

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) The Iraqi parliament elected on Saturday former governor of Anbar province, Mohamed al-Halbusi, as its new speaker, Iraqi media reported after an internal poll ended.

Mohamed Ali Zeini, the temporary speaker, had declared a list of four Sunni final runners, including former defense minister Khaled al-Obaidi, current Iraqi Vice President Usama al-Nujaifi, former Anbar governor Mohamed al-Halbusi, and former MP Raad al-Dahlaki.

Halbusi had served as a member of the parliament’s finance committee in the last session.

The parliament failed earlier this month to elect a new speaker due to arguments between political alliances over who had secured the largest bloc that is supposed to form the new government.

Based on a political agreement adopted since the ouster of late leader Saddam Hussein, Kurds assume Iraq’s presidency, Sunnis are entitled to parliament speaker, and Shias hold the prime minister’s office.

Iraq parliament elections, the first since the defeat of Islamic State militants, were held last May amid judicial challenges that prompted a recount of votes.

Halbusi is the leader of a minor list that is allied with the Islah and Emaar (Reform and Reconstruction), which comprises Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi’s and Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr’s lists.

Poisoned water forces local football club in Basra to postpone match

 

 Sangar Ali |

September 17-2018     03:06 PM

 

ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – Iraq’s al-Hussein football club on Monday suffered a bout of mass poisoning as players were hospitalized due to contaminated drinking water in Basra, resulting in the postponement of a match scheduled against the South Oil club.

The Al-Hussein club, on its official Facebook page, confirmed many of its players and staff members were poisoned in Basra on Monday night, including the coach, Fadhel Zaghir, after drinking tainted water.

The club was due to face its rival, South Oil club, in the second round of Iraq’s local league in the oil-rich city of Basra, located in the south of the country.

It also mentioned that the number of hospitalized players and staff was on the rise, including the club’s supervisor, Subhi al-Azzawi, with 13 cases of water poisoning in total registered.

“We will not be able to play [against the South Oil club] tomorrow [Monday],” Zaghir posted on his official Facebook account.

 

Basra, which accounts for 95 percent of Iraq’s oil exports, has been suffering from a lack of clean drinking water in the past few years, with the quality severely deteriorating over the past few months.

Since July 9, people in Basra have staged a number of protests, which later spread to other Iraqi cities, demanding better public services, clean water, regular electricity supply, employment, and an end to widespread corruption in Iraqi government institutions.

Last week, Iraq’s High Commission for Human Rights (IHCHR), a parliamentary body, announced that at least 60,000 people had suffered temporary poisoning from Basra’s contaminated water.

“We’re watching with concern as the adverse effects of pollution continue to mount in Basra, where we have documented 60,000 cases of temporary poisoning [due to tainted drinking water],” Mahdi al-Tamimi, head of the IHCHR’s Basra office, said.

“This is a serious environmental disaster affecting the lives of all Basra residents,” he added.

• US consulate in Basra: campaign of abuse of activists contacted us

BAGHDAD (AP) - The US Consulate General in Basra on Tuesday (September 18th, 2018) issued a statement in response to accusations that young people in Basra had conspired to sabotage the situation in the city, while not taking advantage of the images they publish.

"The obelisk" publishes the text of the statement:

Various media outlets have recently circulated a lot of fabricated and untrue news about the US Consul General in Basra, Timmy Davis, as well as those who contacted the US consulate in Basra.

For several years, we have been publishing photos and details of the various events and meetings of the Consulate as part of our efforts to reverse the transparency of working with the community in southern Iraq.

It is shameful that these images are misused by the unscrupulous and used to campaign against these people and mislead the public opinion about the perpetrators of the events in Basra.

The consulate calls for verifying the validity of the source and its credibility and the benefit it derives from the creation of fabricated accounts.

That the United States of America stands side by side with the Iraqi people in finding a solution to the current issues, which are a burden on the people.
