Pitcher Posted September 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 Corruption in Iraq must not be allowed to taint its future After months of increasingly desperate and deadly protests, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider Al Abadi has finally conceded publicly that corruption might be at the heart of Basra’s shameful public health crisis. His words will be welcomed, not least by the 60,000 people who so far have been hospitalised after drinking or washing in polluted water in the oil-rich province, which only last year was hailed by parliamentarians as the economic engine of Iraq. But Mr Al Abadi’s pledge that the breakdown in public services in Basra will be investigated by Iraq’s Commission of Integrity must be followed swiftly by action, not only in Basra but throughout the entire country, if Iraq’s chaotic political system is to regain credibility and the trust of the people. The Commission of Integrity already has its hands full. One has to look no further than its caseload to see the extent to which corruption has become endemic in Iraq and its political structure in the aftermath of the 2003 invasion and is still threatening to sabotage the country’s economic revival. So far this month alone, its investigators have seized more than Dh18.47 million siphoned off by “creative accounting” from the budget of Al Anbar province health department, recovered property in Karbala province worth more than Dh9m that was transferred out of government ownership by forgers, stopped an attempt to steal 105 truckloads of timber, intercepted six containers of stolen medicines at the port of Umm Qasr and clawed back nearly Dh8m of government funds spirited from the accounts of the brick and asphalt factories in Al Muthanna province. Iraq has lacked proper leadership since May’s parliamentary elections, which were mired in allegations of fraud and ballot-stuffing. It took more than three months to ratify the results and now, with no one group emerging with an outright majority, Iraqi politics continues to be based on horse trading. Corruption and sectarian divides go hand-in-hand and the continuing uncertainty – compounded this week by the surprise withdrawal from the race for the prime minister’s office of militia leader Hadi Al Amiri – cannot be allowed to taint Iraq’s chances of being free from either. One bright light that flickered briefly this week was the nomination as candidate for the presidency of Barham Salih, the former prime minister of Iraq's Kurdistan regional government and former deputy prime minister of Iraq. A prominent campaigner against corruption, he was seen as a candidate capable of bringing all Iraqis together. Now, it seems, his candidacy has been rejected. In an article written for The National in January this year, Mr Salih welcomed the defeat of ISIS and the May elections as defining moments in the nation’s history, representing “an opportunity to reorient Iraq’s trajectory and propel the country towards prosperity and stability”. Whoever takes the reins in Iraq, for the sake of the people of Basra and all Iraqis whose hopes and dreams have been on hold for the past 15 years, now is the moment to seize that opportunity. http://www.shafaaq.com/en/En_NewsReader/59ab835d-11ac-4131-bcd4-13d423ad567a 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yota691 Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 Iraq: tightening security measures in Basra in anticipation of renewed protests Baghdad Baraa al - Shammari 21 September 2018 BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraqi forces have imposed tight security in the southern province of Basra in anticipation of a new wave of protests on Friday as activists reacted to a halt in protests over the past few days. "The Iraqi forces have stepped up their presence in the streets and squares," a source in the Basra police told Al-Arab Al-Jadid. "The focus of the security forces was to protect the local government building, the rest of the state institutions and the headquarters of the oil companies ." He stressed that "this step represents a precautionary measure, with the possibility of renewed wave of protests, as of Friday evening."

He added that "it is necessary to exempt the citizens of Basra from all health fees, in light of the crisis experienced by the province," calling for accountability of the underdeveloped officials. Al-Tamimi asked about "the reasons for not declaring the state of emergency in Basra until now" and called for revealing "the real causes" of water pollution. Basra, Iraq's richest oil province, contains Iraq's largest oil wells and produces at least 80 percent of the country's oil, the country's only offshore port. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butifldrm Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 a French newspaper: Basra is dying and young people in the slums are leading a revolution Twilight News 3 hours ago The French newspaper "Mediapar" published a report, which talked about the deteriorating general situation in the second Iraqi city, Basra. The city has been plunged into many problems, making Hisham Daoud, a researcher in contemporary anthropology at the French National Center for Scientific Research, describing Basra as "gone into hell" and turned into "outdoor garbage, in an indescribable state." The newspaper said in its report that Basra has turned into a waste dump, and suffer from the drought of its rivers. In addition, the city lacks drinking water, causing tens of thousands of people to be ill. The city is also suffocating due to air pollution, and the continued power outages have worsened the situation in the city, which was formerly called Venice in the Middle East. The paper said that the city, which is predominantly Shiite, suffered in recent period of repeated riots lasted three months. These clashes were devastating for the Iraqi political class, as they almost ended the march of Haider Abadi in his ministerial position. Because of these developments, it is not possible to re-elect Abadi as prime minister in Iraq. The newspaper added that the violence in Basra since the fifth of September has caused the looting and burning of about 20 public buildings, including the provincial council and the seat of the local government. In addition, the offices of the majority of political parties were not immune from the riots, as they were also looted and burned. At the same time, many oilfields were cordoned off and the border crossings and the country's ports closed. "We are thirsty, hungry, sick and marginalized." The newspaper reported that the residents of Basra expressed the size of their anger with the same magnitude of violence, especially as they are deprived of the fortunes of the second city in Iraq. In particular, Basra produces about 70 percent of Iraqi oil production, and estimated Iraqi oil revenues since the beginning of this year about 60 billion dollars. However, Basra has benefited only a small percentage of these revenues, which are controlled by the Iraqi central government. At the same time, Basra suffers from pollution caused by oil production, which caused the majority of the population of the city of cancer. The newspaper said that the protesters also expressed their anger against Tehran, and chanted slogans "Iran is a cow ... Basra remains free." In protest of their anger, the protesters burned the Iranian consulate in Basra and the main structures of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard militia stationed in the area. The only political coalition not targeted by the recent protests in Basra is the Surun Alliance, led by Moqtada al-Sadr, a populist cleric who has distanced himself from Iran to come closer to Saudi Arabia. In addition, Muqtada al-Sadr has shown his support for the protesters in his sermons since the protests broke out last July. The newspaper said that the problems experienced by Basra are many and varied between famine, unemployment, pollution and the shortage or lack of public services. This enormous number of problems has made it difficult to determine why this long-standing, long-delayed revolution in Basra has been. In general, the health problems suffered by the population as a result of the deteriorating conditions appear to be crucial, especially after Basra has become a "dying city of thirst." The newspaper said that the problems of water shortage in Basra is becoming clearer now than ever before. The scarcity of water in the second Iraqi city was manifested by the absence of green land and palm groves that adorned the city. The situation is further exacerbated by the pollution of the Tigris and Euphrates through the toxic waste left by the oil industry in the region. In addition, the salinity of the city is higher than in any other region. Under these conditions, sewage treatment plants are unable to solve the problem. On the other hand, the Health Department in Basra confirmed that during the month of August last, only about 17 thousand people were transferred to the hospital because of drinking unsafe water. Most of these cases confirmed that they had to drink tap water because of their inability to purchase mineral water. The newspaper quoted the researcher Hisham Daoud, "The leaders of this recent revolution are the youth of the slums in Basra, aged between 15 and 25 years. And suffer this segment of despair, especially after they felt that they have no future "The analyst said that" in addition to the young, it was noted the presence of a number of activists of some parties, and a few supporters of Sadr. She added that "despite the multiplicity of actors in the protests and the diversity of their demands, but the spirit of rejection, which unites the factor has given way to many new political demands." In conclusion, the newspaper said that Iran is seeking to ensure that the successor to Abadi loyal to it, which is also the case for the United States of America. In any case, it seems that Iran is losing its status in Basra, especially after the burning of its consulate in the city.
