The farmer in the areas of Article 140

The peasant carries the good of the whole world, while living deprivation, poverty, fatigue and need. The peasant is the soldier who uses his weapon to take out the treasures of the land and to support the people with their vegetables and their goodness. The farmer is hardworking and tired and goes out to the best of the fruit. The peasant is inferior, he does not really have the true appreciation he deserves, or at least the thanks and praise that is worthy of his turn and his preference ... and above all this burns his crop, which is the source of his income and his livelihood !!! 

For this crime and great injustice, I do not see a description worthy of those who do it ...

My fear is to register against unknown because the victim is a helpless peasant and a political offender. 
The farms of the areas that were cut off from the Kurdistan Region and the features of "disputed areas" have been burned as well as the treachery that the farmers of the Kurdistan Region have not paid their accumulated dues to the federal government in Baghdad. This tragic situation began after the events of October 16, The Peshmerga of those areas, which resulted in repercussions such as demographic change and the migration of people to the region and security instability and chaos. 
It seems that the repeated and continuous fire to this day is one of the means of pressure and waste of the Iraqi economy in general and the region in particular and all indicators indicate the role of Iran in that it strengthened the entry of the crowd to those areas through support and the presence of reality on the ground all in order to keep Iraq under its umbrella .

And I see that the only solution to that suffering is the implementation of constitutional article 140, otherwise the current situation will produce new repercussions and very serious does not come out of any beneficiary.

ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – Turkey’s Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu on Monday met with senior Kurdish leader Masoud Barzani to discuss a range of regional issues including a possible role for Turkish businesses to contribute to reconstruction efforts in the infrastructurally run-down province of Nineveh.

The Turkish official arrived in Erbil earlier in the day and met with senior Kurdish officials and leaders. Cavusoglu was in the Kurdistan Region capital to partake in the presidential inauguration ceremony of Nechirvan Barzani.

The Turkish FM had earlier met with Chancellor of the Kurdistan Region Security Council (KRSC) Masrour Barzani, where both sides discussed “improving relations between Erbil and Ankara as well as the latest developments taking place in the region.”

Following the swearing-in event, Cavusoglu sat down with the head of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) and former regional president Masoud Barzani.

Both sides agreed to develop historical ties between the Kurdistan Region and Turkey further, a statement from the KDP leader’s office read.

They also discussed “the political situation of the region and the latest developments.”

The statement added that FM Cavusoglu expressed “his country’s readiness to participate in the reconstruction of Mosul and other areas.”

The Islamic State’s takeover of Nineveh province and the subsequent expulsion thereof by Iraqi forces severely dilapidated the homes and infrastructure in the area.

Nearly two years since the liberation of the province, the local and national government are yet to rebuild it, which, along with the lack of security, has left many people displaced and afraid to return.

Barzani Party demands Abdul Mahdi: Pull the army and the federal police from Kirkuk before the dialogue

BAGHDAD (AP) - The withdrawal of the Iraqi army and police forces from the province of Kirkuk is the condition of his party to conduct dialogues with the federal government on the status of the province, said a deputy of the Kurdistan Democratic Party in Iraq headed by Massoud Barzani.

"The withdrawal of the Iraqi army and federal police from the province of Kirkuk is our condition to begin political dialogues with the federal government and political parties in Baghdad to end the differences over the city," said the deputy of the party, "Denha Bazaa."

It is deduced from a history of favoritism by Abdul Mahdi to Erbil that he will respond to the demands of the region.

After Barzani's admission that the inauguration of Abdul-Mahdi as prime minister represents the "greatest opportunity" and should not be "lost", he began to "climb" against Baghdad. His last statement was sharp, non-mahdun, and facing Abdul Mahdi who tolerated serenity, The people and wealth of the country.

He added that what the Iraqi Kurdistan government poses and what we see as necessary to solve the problem of Kirkuk is to restore the situation to what it was in the past, calling for "handing over the security file to the province of Kirkuk and local police, which has a duty and to protect the city.

It seems that Abdul-Mahdi in a statement issued by the security security, fear the face of Barzani and his ambitions in oil and Kirkuk, citing the need to "maintain social peace," to go to the question loud to the Prime Minister: Why Barzani does not think like you in the "community peace" Its Kurdish people are more than your concern for the money of the center and the south, where oil imports flow inexorably into the pockets of Barzani, while you open up the money for him, legislated, like your money, not Iraqi money.

The reports that Barzani is overflowing on Abdul Mahdi, because he recognizes his weakness and inability to make a decision, nor did he humiliated as Abdul Mahdi, at the expense of the members of his community and his people, and the tragedy that Abdul Mahdi is not alone in "Altnish" Barzani excesses, , To miss the achievements of the previous government era in oil and Kirkuk because of the reluctance of the courageous decision.

KRG risks 2020 budget cuts if it fails to send oil to Baghdad: MP 

By Rudaw 21 minutes ago

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) should start showing a measure of goodwill and some kind of commitment to Baghdad by gradually sending a quantity of oil to the federal government to secure its fair share in the country’s 2020 budget, a Kurdish lawmaker has said.

Following months of party negotiation to draft a budget for 2019, the Iraqi parliament finally approved the bill in January. It has insulated the salaries of Peshmerga forces and civil servants in the Kurdistan Region from potential political disputes between Erbil and Baghdad. 

The KRG currently receives a 12.67 percent share of the federal budget – short of the desired 17 percent it received before relations between Erbil and Baghdad collapsed in 2014.

The bill requires the KRG to export 250,000 barrels of oil per day through Iraq’s state oil-marketing company SOMO and hand over all revenues to the central treasury.

If the KRG fails to meet its obligations, the federal government will only “cut a part of the budget for investments and projects proportional to that amount,” Bashir Haddad, second deputy speaker of the Iraqi parliament and a member of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), told Rudaw in January. 

Six months since the bill was passed, the KRG is still yet to meet its obligation to export 250,000 barrels of oil daily through SOMO and hand over federal revenues to Baghdad.

Now that the Iraqi parliament is entering the second half of the year, during which the 2020 budget will be discussed, there is uncertainty over whether the federal government will again accommodate the KRG’s budget share for next year.

That is why Kurdish officials and lawmakers are urging the KRG to start showing some goodwill and commitment to its obligations toward Baghdad before the 2020 budget bill is discussed in the federal parliament.

“It has now been seven months we haven’t committed [to the obligation to send 250,000 oil barrels per day to Baghdad]. Five months are left during which the 2020 budget bill will be discussed. If we don’t give anything to [Iraqi Prime Minister] Adil Abdul-Mahdi, he will surely not do anything for us in drafting the 2020 budget,” Jamal Kochar, a Kurdistan Islamic Union (KIU) MP in the Iraqi parliament who sits on the finance committee, told Rudaw on Saturday.

He warned that Kurdish lawmakers in Baghdad will not be able to defend the rights of Kurdish civil servants if the KRG continues to disregard its obligations under the 2019 budget law.

“I suggest we gradually start sending him oil – sending him 100,000 [barrels of oil] in July, 150,000 in August, 200,000 in September, and 250,000 in the remaining three months – so he can defend a solution for the Region among his people,” said Kochar. “Otherwise, we the Kurdish lawmakers on the finance committee will be very embarrassed and we will have nothing to say when we start discussing the 2020 budget.”

The KRG’s share of the Iraqi budget was cut in 2014 due to disagreements over the Region’s independent oil sales.

Faced with a financial crisis caused by a budget cut from Baghdad, falling oil prices, a costly war with the Islamic State (ISIS), and hosting nearly two million displaced Iraqis, the KRG introduced a salary saving scheme.

The wildly unpopular measure slashed the salaries of state employees and delayed payments for months at a time. Fed up with the austerity measures, public sector employees, mainly in Sulaimani, staged protests and strikes in early 2018.

Relations between Erbil and Baghdad turned sour after Erbil went ahead with its planned referendum for independence from Iraq in September 2017, a move that culminated in an air embargo on the Kurdistan Region and the loss of the disputed territories previously controlled by Peshmerga forces.
 

Relations have vastly improved since Abdul-Mahdi took office but remain tentative.
