Special security force secures the transfer of funds from the Green Zone

 

Kalkamsh Press / Baghdad

 

A specialized security force escorted trucks transporting money from the Green Zone to an unknown location, a security source said Wednesday.

The source told "Kilkamsh Press" that "12 money trucks exited just before the Green Zone to protect a large security force."

He continued: “It is not known the nature of the money transferred and its return and where it is destined.”

The source believed that "the unstable security situation was the reason for the transfer of funds from the Green Zone," This came after mass demonstrations in the capital Baghdad and some of the southern provinces.

And Here’s Our First Guru Weighing In On The Armored Trucks Move - Piggy Bank Frank !  

 

     

 

 

 

10-3-2019  Intel Guru Frank26  

I think Alaq is going to say a lot tomorrow...

They moved 12 trucks, gigantic armored trucks out of the green zone. 

They were escorted by Blackwater and whoever else...

they escorted these 12 armored trucks and Alaq went on television and he told the citizens,

'we are moving these 12 armored vehicles to undisclosed destination.'  

He told the people the trucks were loaded with funds. 

There's no doubt these are the lower denoms because the day before he told them,

'I'm going to give you the lower denoms.' 

And now he's telling them, 'look I'm moving them.' 

But he's not telling them what funds they are...

it's possible they are either going to show them tomorrow the pictures of the lower denoms or Saturday...

I really think this week they are going to show it to them...

Iraqi Prime Minister to the demonstrators: your demands for reform and our link

 

October 3, 2019

 

 

 

 

Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi said early on Friday that Iraqis are "facing the choices of the state and the state."
"We have had great experiences until we have reached a democratic march ... We want to serve and work sincerely," Abdul Mahdi said in a televised address to the Iraqi people.

The Iraqi Prime Minister called on the demonstrators not to pay attention to "the advocates of despair and calls to return back," pointing out that "some slogans raised revealed attempts to ride the demonstrations and waste," and that the escalation of the demonstration "is now leading to losses and injuries."

Abdul-Mahdi vowed that his government will not promise "empty promises or offer solutions," stressing the need to restore life to the provinces and respect for the rule of law, and pointed out that "security options such as curfews are indispensable as bitter medicine."

Abdul-Mahdi called on the House of Representatives to "make ministerial amendments away from political quotas," and said "we agreed with the Council of the judiciary to release detainees who did not commit criminal acts," and expressed regret for the success of some in "derailing the demonstrations on the peaceful path."

"Your demands for reform and the fight against corruption are our link," he told the demonstrators. "Hold us accountable for everything we can do in the immediate term and there are no magic solutions."

He added that unemployment "did not make it and the destroyed infrastructure we inherited," and that the interests of the government began to distribute land to the deserving segments of the people.

"Those who think that they are far from being held accountable are wrong and we are sticking to the constitution," he said.

Today the bloodiest

Thursday was the deadliest since the start of Tuesday's protests, which killed at least 30 people during unprecedented violent clashes between protesters and security forces.

From Baghdad, demonstrations demanding the departure of "corrupt" and job opportunities for young people extended to most southern cities.

Special forces armored vehicles in Baghdad intervened to repel the crowds, while security forces on the ground fired live bullets that bounced back at demonstrators.

"We are continuing until the overthrow of the regime," said protester Ali, a 22-year-old unemployed graduate.

"I am out of work. I want to get married. I have only 250 dinars (less than a quarter of a dollar) in my pocket, and state officials have millions," he said, in a country that ranks 12 on the world's most corrupt list, according to Transparency International.

Abu Jaafar, a retired al-Shaib, whose head was conquered, said: "I support young people. Why are the police shooting Iraqis like them? They are like us oppressed. They have to help us and protect us."

To date, this movement seems to be spontaneous. No political or religious party or leader has declared its support, in what is considered a precedent in Iraq.

With 30 people killed, including two policemen, 18 of them in the southern province of Dhi Qar alone, the movement turned Thursday into a battle in Baghdad on several axes leading to Tahrir Square, the symbolic central gathering point of the demonstrators.

The demonstrators arrived in Baghdad on trucks, carrying the flags of Iraq and religious ones with the names of the infallible Shiite imams, and the demonstrators chanted several slogans, including "in the spirit of blood we redeem you, Iraq."

In the face of them, riot police and the army formed human rings around the ministries, especially the Ministry of Oil.

In al-Tayaran Square in central Baghdad, demonstrators pounded two military vehicles and set them on fire, according to AFP.

On Thursday, security forces again fired live ammunition to disperse demonstrators despite a curfew that came into effect at dawn.

Friday will be an important political test for the prime minister, with the sermon expected to be delivered by Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, whose opinion is crucial on a wide range of Iraqi political issues.

As the movement seems to be spontaneous, Shiite leader Moqtada al-Sadr decided to put his weight on the balance of the protests, calling on his supporters, who paralyzed the country's joints in 2016 with protests in the capital, to organize "peaceful sit-ins" and "general strike", raising fears of increased mobilization in the street .

Elsewhere in the capital and in several cities, protesters continue to block roads or light tires in front of official buildings in Najaf or Nasiriyah in the south.

“Excessive force”

The government, which accused “aggressors” and “mendes” of “deliberately causing casualties among demonstrators”, appears to have made a firm choice.

In a statement, Amnesty International called on Baghdad to "immediately order the security forces to cease the use of force, including lethal excessive force," and restore contacts.

There was a massive Internet outage in Iraq, which reached about 75 percent on Thursday, according to a specialized organization.

Protesters in Baghdad sought to head to Tahrir Square, which is separated from the Green Zone by Jumhuriya Bridge, where security forces have been tightened since Tuesday.

The protests hit several provinces in the south of the country, such as the oil city of Basra, which witnessed last year bloody protests.

However, the movements did not extend to the western and northern provinces, especially the Sunni areas devastated by the war against ISIS and the autonomous Kurdistan region of Iraq.

War-weary Iraq has suffered chronic power cuts and drinking water for years.

Official reports indicate that since the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime in 2003, about $ 450 billion of public funds have disappeared, four times the state budget, and more than double Iraq's GDP.

Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi

 

 

Reuters

Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi has urged lawmakers to support his cabinet reshuffle and called for calm after three days of bloody unrest rocking the country.

He said in a speech broadcast on state television, "We demand the House of Representatives and political forces full commitment to give the Prime Minister the power to complete his cabinet and make ministerial adjustments away from political quotas."

Abdul Mahdi said there was no "magic solution" to the problems of governance and the exploitation of chronic power in Iraq, but vowed to try to pass a law that would give poor families a basic wage.

"Your voice is heard before you demonstrate and your demands to fight corruption and comprehensive reform are right," Abdel Mahdi told the demonstrators.

Ground class fuel the demonstrations in Iraq: poverty, unemployment and corruption

 

Baghdad - Mohammed Ali and the peace dry

October 4, 2019

 

 

Iraqi observers attribute the outbreak of protests in the capital Baghdad and several cities in the south of the country, unexpectedly even to the intelligence and security services, to what they considered a government disregard for previous warnings that the escalation of poverty and unemployment and widening the class gap within the country, will lead to the explosion of the situation and exacerbate popular discontent .

For the third day in a row, demonstrators continued to rally on Thursday in Baghdad, Dhi Qar, Maysan, Babylon, Qadisiyah, Basra, Najaf and Wasit, varying from city to city in terms of the number of demonstrators and the nature of the reaction by security forces against them, but they carry similar slogans and demands, although different Formula or expression.

Observers in Baghdad told the "new Arab", that "more than 70 percent of the demonstrators are between the ages of 18 to 30 years, and from the class of the community."
They explained that poverty, unemployment and corruption were the main reasons that led young people to integrate into disgruntled popular protests.

According to the expert on the Iraqi Ali Fadhil al-Lami: "The basis of these demonstrations economic service, and the core of the demonstrators and the salt of the current protest are the poor."
Lami adds in an interview with the "New Arab", that the demonstrations were expected after the demolition of slum houses and the displacement of the poor without providing the government an alternative to them and then chasing the owners of rugs (places to sell goods on the sidewalks) and street vendors, and finally insulting the holders of masters and doctorates who held sit-in demanding jobs Suppressed them with hot water and beatings in scenes that provoked all Iraqis.

He continued: "These are all sparks of protests, and the street is tired of the promises of 16 years without any hope, Iraq entered more than a thousand billion dollars in ten years and yet there is no water and no electricity or health services, schools and infrastructure." He stressed that "poverty rates have risen sharply and unemployment has burdened the street and universities graduate annual cohorts without jobs or jobs, and all this killed the class society, as you find one riding a car priced at $ 100,000 and another does not find a living day."

The demonstrations carried various pictures, banners and slogans, including what was distinctive, such as lifting a loaf of bread in the form of a map of Iraq, and others echoed by demonstrators in Baghdad, such as "Change from the slums of Husseiniya," an area in the north-east of Baghdad full of slums and the poor, and others such as "jobs Right for all. "
Saad al-Muttalbi, a member of the security committee in Baghdad's provincial council, told Al-Arabi al-Jadeed that "the demonstrators are non-political and uninformed (they have no partisan affiliation). They are young people without work, demanding their rights." "It is not true to accuse the demonstrators of being Baathists or mendons and trying to distort the truth. The demonstrators went out for their right and they are living in hardship."

The total unemployment rate in Iraq is about 22%, according to the Iraqi Ministry of Planning, while MPs in parliament confirmed that it reaches about 40% in some liberated cities in the north and west of the country. The International Monetary Fund announced in May 2018 that the youth unemployment rate in Iraq is more than 40%. 

The head of the Iraqi parliament's immigration committee, Raad al-Dahlaki, accused previous governments of failing to provide economic or commercial projects to ease unemployment. Chairman of the Committee on Migration, adding that " the Government is unable to provide services and to provide opportunities for young people. There are several excuses ready to have, including the security situation, but the entry of organizations and launch projects to refute these arguments, while the dynamism of these organizations show the extent of their knowledge of the seriousness of unemployment and aggravation.

For his part , Nafi Al-Kilani, a member of the Iraqi civil movement, told Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed that everyone can judge the pictures of demonstrators from any class, but that their clothes, nature and bodies confirm that they are the poor class and only want their rights. in a day".
"The ball is in the hands of the government now, but unfortunately the street no longer trusts the promises it used for 16 years and harvested only the wind," he said. ".

According to an earlier report published by " Nompio ", on living standards in the countries of the world, that what is spent by Iraq on basic life services up to $ 107 per month.
but observers said that the contents of the report on Iraq 's home spending rate per month is not accurate, because Spending rates are much higher.

Oil-rich Iraq faces stifling economic and financial crises that have led to increased budget deficits. Many governorates have witnessed in the past the disgruntled popular demonstrations against the deterioration of services and high cost of living and worsening unemployment.

"Neither the politicians nor the generalists" in the demonstrations in Iraq

- One Day Has Passed

 

 

BAGHDAD - Demonstrators in Iraq do not want “politicians or generalized” in their protests that began two days ago, protesting against corruption, cronyism and unemployment… The goal is clear: to change the ruling political class for more than 15 years.

"This movement is unlike anything before," said protester Majid Saher, 34, in Baghdad. Popular movement, not politicized, and has no connection with any party or clan.

The demonstrators assert that the large gatherings that came out in Baghdad and several major cities in the south of the country were not formed by the call of Shiite leader Muqtada al-Sadr or Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, whose opinion is somewhat crucial in Iraqi political decisions. This is the first time such spontaneous protests have taken place.

"There is no leader in the demonstrations, look at our numbers," Hussein Mohamed told AFP. We are all young, we are all unemployed. ”

Unemployment affects 25 percent of Iraqi youth, while the public sector, which was the refuge of all university graduates under Saddam Hussein, has been hit by inflation and is no longer able to absorb them.

Almost every day in every city or district of Iraq, unemployed graduates organize modest sit-ins that are met with indifference. This time, however, they took to the streets, and all were indignant to the government of Adel Abdul Mahdi, whose first candle was extinguished at the end of this month.

The protesters are demanding accountability for the corrupt and fighting unemployment, in order to reject the dismissal of a popular military commander.

War-weary Iraq has suffered a chronic power outage and drinking water for years and ranks 12th in the list of the world's most corrupt countries, according to Transparency International.

Official reports indicate that since the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime in 2003, corruption has swallowed about $ 450 billion in public funds, four times the state budget, and more than double Iraq's gross domestic product.

Stolen Dreams
Nisreen Mohammed, 46, calls for the “departure” of everyone, saying “We only get lies and promises from the government and politicians that they never deliver. The parties stole all our dreams. ”

"There is no place for the poor in this country," she said.

Former militant Walid Ahmed, who never stops coughing amid black smoke billowing from tires fired by protesters at key intersections in Baghdad on Wednesday, says the move cannot be brought down by politicians.

“Our first problem is corruption,” he says. Today, we just want the people and our country. We do not want political parties, prominent figures or generalists, we do not want them to join our movement. ”

In the opinion of the expert in the Iraqi affairs Fanar Haddad that the spontaneous nature of the protests, the first exam of the government of Mahdi, unprecedented.

"This is the first time there have been mass and violent demonstrations without the participation of the Sadrist movement," he told AFP.

He points out that the demonstrations that began Tuesday, whatever the outcome, will show one thing to Iraqis and those who are watching, that "the myth that only followers of Moqtada al-Sadr can get people out of the streets is dead."

“It seems to me that the people themselves can take the people to the streets,” Haddad says. The 2016 big demand for the Green Zone in central Baghdad was led by Sadr.

Sadr himself, when he called Wednesday night for a "general strike," was keen to emphasize that he did not want to turn "popular demonstrations" into "demonstrations."

But Haddad warns that the independence of the movement called for by social media and not supported by any party "is a double-edged sword for the government and the demonstrators."

On the one hand, the street is becoming aware of its weight through an “uncontrollable wave that extends from one neighborhood to another and from one city to another”;

The famous slogan of the “Arab Spring” in 2011 “The people want to overthrow the regime” has no resonance in Iraq, where positions are distributed according to religious affiliation.

Therefore, Haddad believes that "power is distributed, so there is no king to send it to the guillotine" in Iraq.
