After al-Amiri resigned from parliament: a Lebanese newspaper: an introduction to "heavy" surprises

 

9th June, 2020

The Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar, which is close to Hezbollah, criticized the resignation of the leader of the Al-Fateh Alliance and the head of the Badr Hadi al-Amiri militia from the Iraqi parliament recently.

The newspaper said, "The resignation of Hadi al-Amiri from the parliament and his appointment to the leadership of the Badr Abdel Karim Younis organization as a substitute for him" is "an explicit legal violation."

The newspaper expected that Al-Amri’s move would be a prelude to "heavy" surprises, including "the break-up of the open contract."

It quoted its sources as saying, "Al-Fateh leaders have expressed their dissatisfaction with the performance of the man, and they have transferred this to the relevant regional circles," in an apparent reference to Iranian intelligence services that support the Shiite factions in Iraq and Lebanon.

The newspaper said that Al-Amiri's actions would be in the "interest of the Sadrist movement," which is considered a traditional rival of the Iranian-backed Shiite factions in the Iraqi street.

Al-Amri said in a statement that his resignation came because of his "preoccupation with many political issues that stood in the way of his attendance at the parliament sessions," and he also denied his ambition to take over the position of head of the PMF as a substitute for Faleh al-Fayyad, which Al-Akhbar newspaper said might be behind his resignation.

A newspaper attack close to the Lebanese Hizbullah against a prominent faction leader in Iraq comes at a sensitive time witnessing a divergence of visions that reached a stage close to the dispute between the faction leaders in Iraq, and deepened greatly after the killing of the Iranian Major General Qassem Soleimani and the leader Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis with an American missile The beginning of last January.

Al-Maliki: The rights of the tortured, the prisoners, the displaced and the uprising revolution can not be violated

09:34 - 09/06/2020

 

The Secretary-General of the Islamic Call Party, head of the State of Law Nuri al-Maliki, on Tuesday, stressed the need not to prejudice the rights of torturers, prisoners, immigrants and uprising revolutionaries.  He added that “the federal government and local governments must understand the movement of the masses, cooperate with them and respond to them within the framework of the constitution and the laws in force.”

Al-Maliki said in a statement that he received / information / a copy of it, “A peaceful demonstration for legitimate demands is permitted by the Iraqi constitution for those who want to express their opinion and demand their rights. And the application of laws criminalizing the criminal past.

Al-Maliki stressed, "The need not to prejudice the rights of torturers, prisoners, displaced persons and the uprising revolution against the grave Baath regime," warning against "illegal methods that disturb mass demonstrations from their national goals."

The Maliki must be related to someone in the United States Communist party, (The Demoncraps), How else could you explain his slipping the noose at EVERY instance?? That or he's somehow related to Killary and Bubba...

Iraq could probably fund the RV with the Dinar he's reported to have stashed away somewhere out of country....

 

Did we ever hear the results of that alleged jet full of billions of Dollars worth of Dinar that was uncovered in Kuwait leaving the middle East? The one that they determined had enough Dinar on board to finance a small Arab Country?

Al-Kazimi said, during the cabinet session, that "the reform that we are working on to establish a new reality is not affected by the changes, and establishes a new reform phase that puts Iraq on the right path."

 

First the political unrest. Then the coronavirus. Followed by an oil price crash. And there u have it~ a complete trifecta of problems on Iraq. 

We know they have to do something and we know the world is there to help them. 

 

But we are getting mix signals from Iraqis so-called 'expert' and MPs on their finances and stability. Most times, it is all doom and gloom, other times ~ full of hope. 

 

What we know for sure is that Iraq's state-dominated economy led by the oil sector, which provides approximately 85 - 90 percent of government revenue cannot hold much longer. 

 

We also know their not so stable macro economy is not sufficient to ensure continued 'prosperity'......or even to provide the basic needs for the population: safety, shelter, food and water.

 

Eventho Iraq is ranked by the World Bank as an upper middle income country, their unemployment rate is unacceptably high. 

 

They have no choice, but to fix that problem real soon. And I believe they will. 

We have read so many news on the need to develop private sector, foreign investment, open market and we have seen countries lining up to have economic ties with Iraq. 

But at the same time we are also seing something like 'Iraq is on the verge of being a failed state' kind of news.

For a country that need foreign investment badly, that would bolster a lot of economic ties.. 🤭😅

 

So what is going on? Is it all just a ploy to manage market expectations...
Or Is it just designed to put off some pressure on Iraq for them to do something drastic to their financial reform

 

I sure hope it is just a design....💃🕺
