Popular Post GregHi Posted November 22, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 Hey Guys, I seem to be posting what I call useless info from my Shia friend at least weekly, so I thought I would create a thread of its own instead of hijacking other people’s thread.. I got a text from my Shia friend with this link to a YouTube video and his words were, “This is real good”. And I have to agree.. it gives a real life view of what the protestors are going through.. keep in mind, view discretion is advised, but I think it is probably true to life for them.. 8 9 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScaryMary Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 GregHi, Thank you for sharing. What a reality check. Those poor Iraqi citizens having to protest to get the necessities and being shot at! I pray that things change and the government sees the light and does what needs to be done to give their people a decent life to live. God shed and share blessings to these people. 4 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScaryMary Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 @ChuckFinley I looked him up but unfortunately the other postings he’s made are in Arabic. So we are going to have to wait on more of his English versions. He has two in English. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SgtFuryUSCZ Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 Thanks, GREGHI... Any positive distraction from the unsettling news coming out of Iraq lately helps. Wonder if anyone in the gubment over there might get the bright idea that giving the people's currency some teeth would help. Now THAT would be a welcome distraction from all the fighting! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregHi Posted November 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 (edited) Spoke briefly today with my friend. He said regarding the guy that makes the videos in my 1st post, that the Government does not like him because he is exposing to the world the problems they face. This guy is apparently pretty popular, my friend said he has been making Arabic language videos for 4-6 years..

GregHi Posted December 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 Briefly spoke to my Shia friend tonight. He told me Trade bank of Iraq is mainly a Kurdish bank and has more of an international reach. He also said that changing out the PM really does nothing if his cabinet is not being thrown out also.. He said there were a lot of people that died in Najaf over the last few days and the Gov is doing nothing about it. He is telling his friends that live there stop going to the protest, they might lose their life. He was not happy about the recent events.. 2 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new york kevin Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 Gregg. Would the replacement PM not pick new appointees to his Cabinet ? This is bare minimum for a incoming leader of a nation, of Iraq. This is something every new leader should have, a cabinet full of the people he wants and rust. People that will work towards the PM agenda, if not then out you go. As President Trump and Obama have had. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We spoke about the difference in him submitting his resignation to the President vs to Parliament. He seemed to think he avoided his ministers getting the axe temporarily because he had the parliament vote him out, So it really had no effect immediately on his COM.. maybe the new PM will replace the ministers but I won’t be immediately today I guess as if he had submitted his resignation to the President.. Not sure if he is right about that or not. He was just not happy that in his view real change did not happen yet.. We shall see..
