Karim accused of stealing millions of dollars from Kirkuk oil revenues (AFP)

 

 

Kirkuk oil and its revenues are a major item on the agenda of re-establishing relations between Baghdad and Erbil, before the crisis of the "referendum on secession" in 2017. Necmettin Karim, the former governor of Kirkuk, the most prominent accused on this level: oil smuggling and theft of revenues, About Iraq. The arrest of the man, a US citizen a few days ago in Beirut, reopened the file. Today, there is pressure to hand over the man to Erbil, fearing a "major scandal" in the capital of the Kurdistan region, Karim's current "loyalty".

 

The former governor of Kirkuk, Necmettin Karim, is detained in Lebanon. On Tuesday, 22 May, the man was arrested at Rafik Hariri International Airport by Interpol. However, the Lebanese authorities released him the next day, preventing him from traveling and confiscating his American passport. Waiting for the Iraqi authorities to send their judicial file to Beirut for consideration and appropriate action. Doctor Jalal Talabani, the founder of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), is accused of a range of issues, including security, including financial.
Karim «controversial figure». This is how Kurdish political sources describe the opposition of the "ruling dynasties" (the "Union" and the "Kurdistan Democratic Party"), the son of Kirkuk, who was elected governor on 3 April 2011. His name is in the name of the leader of the Democratic Party, Massoud Barzani, Kurdistan region of Iraq in September 2017. Politically, he stood by Erbil in the "referendum" in Kirkuk (one of the disputed provinces between the center and the "territory"), despite the opposition of Sulaymaniyah «shy» to the project Barzani separatist, For that step. Has directly supervised security operations against Arab and Turkmen figures and communities in the province, apart from his direct management of several confrontations against Iraqi security forces as they entered the city in October 2017. Positions paid dearly by the man. Fled abroad after the Iraqi parliament voted in September 2017 to remove him from office, at the direct request of the former Prime Minister Haider Abadi, and then issued a "Court of Appeal of Kirkuk", on 23 May 2018, arrest warrant against him and ordered the seizure of his funds Movable and immovable, against the backdrop of many irregularities, including: call the people of the province who are able to carry weapons to come out to «defend». On February 16, the leadership council of the National Union announced that it had terminated its association with Karim, accusing him of responsibility for "what happened in Kirkuk."
Karim moved to Barzani's row around him as a "scapegoat" of the separation crisis. But Erbil has maintained her relationship with the man. This is what is reflected today by Barzani's media, which defended Karim and asserted that he is "free and free in Beirut." However, "news" reports that the man "is still being held, that Erbil is leading a vigorous campaign for his release, Political in Baghdad ». The information adds that «the Lebanese judiciary is waiting to study its judicial file to hand it to its Iraqi counterpart in Baghdad», which is also confirmed by Iraqi diplomatic sources, saying in an interview with the «news» that «Baghdad rejects the efforts / pressure Erbil to release Karim, Which is required for the federal judiciary, not to spend the region », follow-up that« there is no impediment to the retention of Karim inside the Lebanese territory, and the rumors about the urgency of Baghdad received him naked ... We want him, but we want to take justice ».

Remittances between Erbil, Baghdad and Beirut have increased dramatically

Here, Erbil's movement highlights the "handover" of Karim on more than one level. Two days ago, media close to al-Barzani pointed out that «the head of the government of the Territory, Nechirvan Barzani, directly commissioned by Massoud Barzani to prevent the bringing of Karim to Baghdad», at a time confirms the familiar with the Iraqi banking movement that «remittances between Erbil, Baghdad and Beirut Escalated dramatically to save Karim from this dilemma, "in light of« large financial offers, amounting to tens of millions of dollars, on the Iraqi and Lebanese sides for his release ». Kurdish sources also pointed out that the leader of the National Coalition, Iyad Allawi, mediated with the Lebanese authorities to release Karim, also directly by Barzani, to "Allawi has the ability to complete this mediation, because of his relationship with the Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri Hariri" . Despite the silence of Erbil about what was said, was the remark of the official «Political Bureau» of the «Democratic Party», Fadel Mirani, who said that «Massoud Barzani and Nijervan Barzani, the center of the return of Karim to Arbil», describing the arrest of the former governor as «unjustified». He called in his fiery statement «the Iraqi government to arrest all former officials accused of corruption, if this charges him», adding that «if the arrest because of the referendum, and raise the flag of the province over the departments of the province of Kirkuk, we and all Kurds are guilty to come to arrest us ... A Kurd is our duty. "
What is the charge? 
In a telephone conversation with the channel «Kurdistan 24» days ago, Karim considered that «what has nothing to do with Interpol ... It is linked to a lawsuit brought by the government of Abadi to the Arab countries and has no effect». But the question remains: What is the man's charge? In response, security and diplomatic sources say that the reason for the arrest is "the role of men in the referendum of the region, and manipulation of the Kirkuk oil money deposited in his own accounts." She added that Karim is one of the rings of the mafia controlling the oil revenues in the region because of his close relationship with the Minister of Wealth In the government of Erbil, Ashti Hawrami ». The latter is the partner of Nigervan Barzani (also candidate for the presidency of the «Territory»), has revealed several documents (previously) for the transfer of contracts (huge over years) to sell oil subsidized by the federal government of the company «Iraq Oil», owned and managed on behalf of the businessman Abdul Hadi Nazir.
While Baghdad has been "absent" from Kirkuk oil revenues over the past years, Karim and Hurami have accumulated hundreds of millions of dollars. The former is involved in depositing more than $ 160 million in oil revenues in his own accounts, Of the "mafia" smuggling of oil in the «region», so there is «pressure exercised in Beirut and Baghdad for his release quickly, for fear of the spread» operations «Mafia». The sources say that "the theft of millions of dollars of Kirkuk oil revenues was collusion and cooperation with Hawrami, which hosted him in one of his palaces in the city of Erbil, after the first escape from Kirkuk in October 2017.
Based on the above, Kurdish opposition sources explain the "diligence" shown by the Iraqi and Kurdish forces alike on the accounting of Karim, with "political calculations" related to two things: the first dismantling the "mafia" of oil smuggling in Erbil, the second preventing Hawrami Again the portfolio of oil and natural resources in the government «Territory» expected, especially as the chances are high in support of «mafias» associated with the elements of government in «Kurdistan».

Baghdad and receive Karim: a challenge to «integrity» Abdul Mahdi
 

 

There are those who argue that the prime minister, Adel Abdul Mahdi, has agreed in principle to drop government charges to pursue the former governor of Kirkuk, Najmuddin Karim (photo). This talk prompted some of the Iraqi political forces (from the coalition of "building" and "reform") to consider Baghdad's return to Karim as a "golden opportunity" for Abdul Mahdi to prove his credibility in "fighting corruption" and to pay the charges that haunt him for his leniency with the Kurdistan Regional Government , Which violated its agreements with Baghdad on the delivery of oil revenues «Territory». Therefore, these forces advised the government "out of the limelight" not to tolerate Karim's case, or to turn a blind eye to his handover to Erbil. In this context, the «Turkmen Front» parliamentary question to Abdul Mahdi about the fate of Karim: Will be returned to Iraq? Are there any governmental intermediaries for his release? "The issues related to him are financial corruption, integrity, and others that affect Iraqi national security."

ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – Local officials in areas disputed by the federal Iraqi government and the Kurdistan region warn that the security vacuum created after the fall of the Islamic State still exists in many areas and that the return of Kurdish Peshmerga forces is required to protect civilians, notably Iraq's minorities.

"The people are suffering because of political instability in Iraq," said Mahma Khalil, mayor of the city of Sinjar (Shingal), in the northern embattled province of Nineveh.

The Islamic State took over Shingal in 2014, formerly home to large numbers of the Yezidi (Ezidi) religious minority which suffered heavily under the group's brutal rule. 

Baghdad declared a military victory over the Islamic State in December 2017, but in a harsh response to the Kurdistan Region's independence referendum later in September, Iraqi forces and Iran-backed militias pushed the Peshmerga from disputed territories. Since that time, security has deteriorated in many of the areas, with the Islamic State staging regular insurgent attacks.

"Cooperation between Iraqi security forces and Peshmerga forces is necessary and it is the only effective move to put an end to the atrocities committed by ISIS and other armed groups in Shingal and the rest of the disputed areas," continued Khalil.

"There is ongoing communication and coordination about the security situation between Iraqi Ministry of Defense and the Peshmerga Ministry."

Major General Abubakr Ahmad, a spokesperson from the Peshmerga Ministry told the news website of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) that there is indeed such communication and coordination between the militaries of the federal and regional governments.

"We are waiting for the final decision to be made in order for Peshmerga to return to the areas to be agreed upon by Baghdad."

On May 13, another attack by suspected Islamic State militants killed two Kurdish civilians in the villages of Ahmed-Taher and Habib in the disputed district of Khanaqin, located in Diyala province.

On May 20, Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi met with Kurdish representatives in Baghdad's parliament to discuss the latest developments in the disputed areas between the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and the federal government.
