The new Prime Minister is named today, Monday or Tuesday

Baghdad / Obelisk: An informed political source revealed, on Monday, January 20, 2020, the nomination of the Prime Minister, today, Monday, or Tuesday, as a maximum.

The source revealed the meeting of the President of the Republic, Barham Salih, the President of the victory coalition, Haider al-Abadi, the President of the Alliance of the Hadi al-Amiri, and the President of the Wisdom Movement Ammar al-Hakim, to resolve the nomination of the candidate for the position of Prime Minister.

Sources say that the assembled parties agree that the candidate must obtain the approval of the masses of the demonstrations.

Protests escalated in Baghdad and the provinces after the constitutional deadline to assign a candidate for prime minister ended.

Totals, roads were blocked by traffic, and many official departments were closed.

And the Iraqis are waiting for the nomination of the candidate to be far from the choices of consuming or partisan personalities, and that the political forces give up their privileges and conditions in order to achieve stability and prevent further chaos.

Information / private ...

On Monday, Al-Fateh Alliance member Naseem Abdullah said that Ali Yusef Shukri, the most privileged figure in the post of Prime Minister, succeeded the resigning Adel Abdul Mahdi , pointing out that there was a near-political consensus on the aforementioned character.

Abdullah said in a statement to "Information", that "some of the names of the candidates for prime minister were raised in the past days and did not receive support to assign them to the prime minister, but today, Ali Shukri is the most fortunate candidate."

He added, "There is a political consensus from most political blocs to assume (Ali Shukri) the position of Prime Minister to succeed the resigning Adel Abdul Mahdi ," noting that "the mentioned name is an independent man despite his political affiliation to one of the parties, but he obtained preliminary approval from most of the blocs." ”

He explained that "the Iraqi street tends to calm and it is possible that the political blocs unite to present Ali Shukri and assign him by the President of the Republic to form a new government."

The names of (Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi, Qasim Al-Araji, Ali Shukri, Ali Allawi and Mustafa Al-Kazemi) are leaked in the media, as candidates for the prime minister, as political analyst Wasiq Al-Hashemi indicated that the names mentioned were handed over to the President of the Republic to assign one of them in the very near future. 25 n ended

Al-Araji: Figures from Abdul Mahdi's office have given orders to kill protesters

Abdul Mahdi

 
 

 

Former Deputy Prime Minister Bahaa Al-Araji said, "The delay in choosing the replacement of the resigned prime minister, Abdul Mahdi, is caused by the political blocs that want a prime minister with full authority, and not temporary."

Al-Araji added, "The head of the Al-Fath coalition, Hadi al-Amiri, visited the city of Qom to meet the leader of the Sadrist movement and put the name Abdul-Mahdi to head the government again, but Sadr rejected this idea."

Al-Araji considered that "the uniqueness of the Shiites in the decision to remove the American forces away from the Sunnis and the Kurds is a dangerous turning point."

He continued: Al-Araji said that "figures from the office of Abdul-Mahdi gave orders to kill the demonstrators."

Two Iraqi policemen, two protesters killed as anti-government unrest resumes

SULAIAMNI — Four Iraqis including two police officers were killed and scores were wounded in Baghdad and other cities on Monday (January 20) in clashes with security forces, medical and security sources said, as anti-government unrest resumed after a lull of several weeks.

Two protesters succumbed to their wounds in a Baghdad hospital after police fired live rounds of ammunition in Baghdad’s Tayaran Square, security and medical sources said. One protester was shot by a live bullet in the head, while the second was hit by a tear gas canister, the sources added.

Protesters threw petrol bombs and stones at police who responded with tear gas and stun grenades, Reuters witnesses said.

“They [security forces] should stop shooting and aiming, who are they and who are we? Both sides are Iraqis. So why are you killing your brothers?” said one woman protester in Baghdad who declined to give her name.

In the Iraqi oil city of Basra, two policemen were struck and killed by a civilian car during the protest, security sources said. The driver was trying to avoid the scene of clashes between protesters and security forces when he drove into the two officers, they said.

Elsewhere in southern Iraq, hundreds of protesters burned tires and blocked main roads in several cities, including Nassiriya, Karbala, and Amara. They say Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi has not fulfilled promises including naming a new government acceptable to Iraqis.

Baghdad police said its forces had reopened all roads that were closed by “violent gatherings”. It said 14 officers were wounded near Tahrir square, including some with head wounds and broken bones.

Traffic was disrupted on a highway linking Baghdad to southern cities, a Reuters witness said. Production in southern oilfields was unaffected by the unrest, oil officials said.

Mass protests have gripped Iraq since Oct. 1, with mostly young protesters demanding an overhaul of a political system they see as profoundly corrupt and as keeping most Iraqis in poverty. More than 450 people have been killed.

Numbers had dwindled but protests resumed last week as demonstrators sought to keep up momentum after attention turned to the threat of a US-Iran conflict following Washington’s killing of Tehran’s top general in an air strike inside Iraq.

The killing of Qassem Soleimani, to which Tehran responded with a ballistic missile attack on two Iraqi military bases housing US troops, has highlighted the influence of some foreign powers in Iraq, especially Iran and the United States.

Asaib Ahl al-Haq militia attack the demonstrators, describing them as "the fallen fall"!

On Sunday, Mahmoud al-Rubaie, a leader in the terrorist “Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq” militia, accused one of the accusers of shredding the image of the deputy head of the crowd, “Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis”.

 

The terrorist "Al-Rubaie" said in a tweet on his social network, "Twitter", that "the crime of tearing your holy body with sinful American missiles, renewed today by a group of fallen when they tore your image in the aviation square."

 

The terrorist, al-Rubaie, continued that “America and its tails want revenge for ISIS, but they know that they will lose and leave because Abu Mahdi will remain victorious with the help of his brave brothers and sons.

 

It is worth mentioning that the militia "League of the Righteous" were included in the lists of terrorism are all thereof; because of the crimes committed against the Iraqi people and attempts subduction between the demonstrators and tarnish the image of the peaceful demonstrations.

ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – At least two people were killed, and dozens of others injured when protesters clashed with Iraqi security forces in the capital Baghdad on Monday.

Local Iraqi media said two Iraqis were killed and over 60 wounded as demonstrations turned violent in Baghdad after renewed anti-government protests over the weekend.

Baghdad’s Operation Command said 14 of its officers suffered various injuries.

Clashes resumed between protesters and security forces in Baghdad on Sunday morning, while demonstrations in Basra joined a deadline set by those in Nasiriyah for political forces, stating that unless their demands are met, they would cut off major roads linking their areas with the capital.

Local activists told Kurdistan 24 that early on Sunday, riot police attempted to storm Tahrir Square, the central gathering space of demonstrators in Baghdad, but the protesters prevented this and burned several tires.

Following that incident, witnesses reported shootings of live rounds in the al-Tayaran Square, a short distance east of Tahrir, with claims of injuries among protesters.

Amid the continued violence, security forces have killed over 450 protesters and wounded thousands more since demonstrations broke out in October 2019. Unofficial estimates range as high as 600 dead among demonstrators.

Crowds first took to the streets in early October to express long-held grievances about chronically inadequate public services, a low standard of living, and widespread institutional graft among government officials.

The United Nations has called for Iraq to push for reform amid the ongoing violence in the country.

Asst Sec State for Near Eastern Affairs: the KRG is an ‘excellent partner’

Asst Sec State for Near Eastern Affairs: the KRG is an ‘excellent partner’

WASHINGTON DC (Kurdistan 24) – During a recent visit to the Kurdistan Region, David Schenker, Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs, sat down to speak with Kurdistan 24.

“The KRG has been an excellent partner for the United States in the war against terrorism,” Schenker said during a Jan. 9 visit to Erbil, when he met with the senior Kurdish leadership, shortly after the Iranian missile strikes, launched in retaliation for the US assassination of Quds Force commander, Qasim Soleimani.

“You are great partners to the United States,” Schenker affirmed, as he also noted that the US is “doing a lot of humanitarian work” in the Kurdistan Region, which currently hosts over a million Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and refugees from other countries, the greatest number of whom fled the conflict in Syria.

“We provide all kinds of economic support,” Schenker continued, and “military support for the Peshmerga. You are great partners to the United States.”

Schenker also welcomed the position of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) toward the Dec. 31 assault on the US embassy in Baghdad, which he charged had been “organized” by Tehran.

“We appreciate the statements of President [Nechirvan] Barzani,” Schenker said, “condemning the attack on the US embassy by these Iranian-backed forces.”

“So we consider the KRG to be an excellent partner, and my meetings today affirm that,” he concluded.

For Washington, the attack on the Baghdad embassy recalled Iran’s 1979 seizure of the US embassy in Tehran, as well as the 2012 assault on the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya, which resulted in the death of the US ambassador, along with three other Americans.

Indeed, US President Donald Trump will have the opportunity to thank Barzani for his stance in person, when the two meet soon at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

It will be Trump’s first meeting with the KRG president and comes amid a period of unusually tense relations between Washington and Baghdad.

Iraqi Protests are Legitimate

Asked about the protests in Iraq, ongoing since October, Schenker characterized them as “legitimate.”

“Since day one,” Schenker explained, that has been the US position. He summarized the protestors’ demands as “the demand for good governance, for an end to corruption, for service provision.”

Although the demonstrators “have been protesting peacefully,” Schenker added, they “have been brutally suppressed by forces loyal to Iran.”

“Over 400 innocent Iraqis” have been killed, he continued, as he explained that their graves “were later desecrated by these same pro-Iranian forces.”

Schenker also cited the apparent collusion, or at least indifference, of elements of the Iraqi government in the attack on the embassy. Since October, the protestors have tried to cross the May 14 bridge over the Tigris River, “so they can protest outside of their ministries,” he noted. But “they were brutally repressed. Many were killed. Teargas canisters were fired into their heads.”

“Yet on Dec. 31, Kata’ib Hizbollah tried to come across that bridge and walked right across without a problem,” he noted, calling it a clear example of “Iran’s unproductive and really negative role in Iraq.”

Despite his complaints about Iran’s destabilizing activities in Iraq, Schenker, citing Trump, affirmed that the US was “looking for de-escalation.”

“We do not want a war,” he said, “but neither will we tolerate being attacked by Iran or its proxies—here or any place else in the region.”

Schenker served in the Pentagon during the Bush 43 administration, when he was Levant country director in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, responsible for Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and the Palestinian territories. He assumed his current position in June of last year.

ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – An official at an oilfield located south of the Iraqi capital of Baghdad said they had to halt operations at the site because of anti-government protests that renewed on Sunday.

An unnamed official at Iraq’s Al Ahdab field, located 180 kilometers southwest of Baghdad, said work and supply from a second production line at the oilfield had stopped after access to the facility was blocked, Bloomberg reported.

The Al Ahdab oilfield was developed by the China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) and produces approximately 70,000 barrels of oil per day (bpd).

Elsewhere, officials at the Badra field said it was at risk of shutting down as well. Badra’s output is about 50,000 bpd. Some of its shareholders include Russian giants Gazprom and Neft.

Clashes resumed between protesters and security forces in Baghdad on Sunday morning, while demonstrations in Basra joined a deadline set by those in Nasiriyah for political forces, stating that unless their demands are met, they would cut off major roads linking their areas with the capital.

A former lawmaker reveals a political move to persuade a figure to take overthe prime minister

Baghdad - Iraq today:

Former MP Jasim Muhammad Jaafar revealed, on Monday, a political move to persuade one of the personalities to take over the position of Prime Minister to succeed Adel Abdul-Muadi, pointing out that assigning the new prime minister may not exceed the next 10 days.

"The interests and benefits are claimed by everyone, and no one calls for reform without looking for his interests in successive governments," Jaafar said.

He added that "the formation of the government came in an unconstitutional manner and was not formed by the largest bloc, and therefore today no one can determine who is the largest bloc."

He explained that "there is a big difference between the direction of the conquest and those with him and others and those who allied with him, as the latter is trying to bring a prime minister away from the political front, while the other party wants a character that the political blocs are satisfied with in order to vote on it affirmatively in Parliament, and therefore this is The difference hinders the political process. ”

And that "there was an agreement a week ago, according to which 3-4 people were identified, to choose a personality from among them, as one of them refuses to be prime minister, but there is a conversation with him to prevail over the national interest to take over the position."

Jaafar expected that "the position of prime minister will be decided in less than 10 days."

These Iraqi leaders don’t get it.  Their time of stealing and turning the country over to Iran is over.  Killing protestors is only going to create more chaos and an unnecessary loss of life.  Read a history book, murderous despots always get toppled.  

 

One day the truth will emerge as to WHY the US toppled Saddam Hussein only to let Iran take over.  What a terrible blunder and terrible tragedy for our soldiers and their families.

Kurdish, Iraqi officials to speak of regional instability at Davos summit

28 minutes ago
image.png.3697b9a21da518d68b171a73367031b6.png
 
ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – Current events in Iraq and ongoing regional unrest are set to be a topic of hot conversation at this year's World Economic Forum, opening tomorrow in Davos, Switzerland. 

Centered on the theme of "stakeholders for a cohesive and sustainable world," leaders from Iraq, the Kurdistan Region and the United Nations are set to speak on recent regional unrest at a variety of panels throughout the week.

Iraq will come to the forefront of discussions on Thursday, with a discussion on the "Unsettled Middle East" hosting Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan Barzani, UNAMI chief Jeannine Hennis-Plasschaert, Finance Minister and Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) member Fuad Hussein, Saudi Minister of Foreign Affairs Adel al-Jubeir and British international relations expert Dr Robin Niblett.

Hennis-Plasschaert has been vocal in calling for restraint from the brutal force used to repress demonstrations that erupted in October, killing close to 460 people so far.

Iraq's President Barham Salih has also headed to Switzerland for the forum, where he will deliver a special address on Wednesday.

US President Donald Trump is expected to give an opening keynote address on Tuesday morning.

However, Iran's Foreign Minister will forego the forum all together.

Mohammed Javad Zarif pulled out from the summit following an "abrupt change" to the schedule which Tehran had not agreed upon, a ministry spokesman told Reuters.

US-Iran tensions came to a boiling point early January following the US assassination of Iranian general Qasem Soleimani, threatening to turn Iraq into a battleground for the two foes.

After launching a spate of rocket attacks on military bases in neighbouring Iraq, Tehran then spurred outrage after shooting down a civilian airliner bound for Kiev - killing all 176 on board, many of whom were dual Iranian citizens.

"We have to understand the cancellation from the Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif against a backdrop of the uncertainty now in the region  and what is unfolding in Iran," forum president Borge Brende said in response to Tehran's absence.

Trump’s Middle East "peace plan" is also rumored to be on the agenda, before the US delegation swap Davos for Jerusalem later this week. 

Iran's absence at the forum may further abate tensions with Washington, which have calmed in the last week.

Learn about the favorite to head the government
[Baghdad-where]
A well-informed source revealed the most likely candidate to head the transitional government, who will be assigned tonight.
The source stated in a press statement that "after the exclusion of 3 candidates from the position, namely [Qasim al-Araji, Mustafa al-Kazemi and Ali Allawi] from the nomination, the competition remained confined now between [Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi] and [Ali Shukri]."
He added, "According to political sources, [Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi] is the favorite and the closest to assign him."
Informed sources had revealed that the President of the Republic, Barham Salih, would probably appoint the candidate for the position of head of the new government today and "obtain the acceptance of the masses and political parties."
Political analyst Wasiq Al Hashemi said in a press statement that "the names nominated for prime minister now are strongly and from my sources according to the sequence, Qassim al-Araji, Ali Allawi, Mustafa al-Kazemi [Director of the intelligence service], Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi, and Ali Shukri."
A political source revealed that there are likely indications that 3 of the five candidates are excluded and that discussions are underway to assign one of the two remaining figures.

He added, "Ali Abdul Amir Allawi went from Beirut to Baghdad urgently to meet the President of the Republic, Barham Salih," noting that "the announcement of the nomination of one of the four candidates for the post will take place on Monday evening or next Tuesday morning."

Political sources have spoken of the arrival of the presidential candidate to Baghdad from Beirut after hours, and President Barham Saleh will visit the Peace Palace as a prelude to his mandate to form the government and conduct preliminary consultations.

The sources say that the assembled people agree that the candidate must win the approval of the masses of the demonstrations.

Protests escalated in Baghdad and the provinces after the constitutional deadline to assign a candidate for prime minister ended.

Totals, roads were cut in front of traffic, and many official departments were closed.

And the Iraqis are waiting for the nomination of the candidate to be far from the choices of consuming or partisan personalities, and that the political forces give up their privileges and conditions in order to achieve stability and prevent further chaos.

Iraqi sources indicated that President Barham Saleh will appoint a candidate for the position of prime minister today, according to what was published by "Sky News Arabia".

And the Iraqi parliament approved last December the resignation of Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi, after the escalation of confrontations between the demonstrators and the security forces, and the fall of a number of deaths by the security forces, which considered Abdul-Mahdi "an important step to dismantle the crisis and calm the conditions in Iraq.
