In an interview with an Arab media, the Iraqi president said, "The constitution may contain differing visions, meaning interpretation and so forth, but in the end we must make up our minds. This relationship is not healthy now, and it is not only tainted by problems, but its constructions are no longer." Suitable for the perpetuation of this current situation really.
He added, "The national dialogue must be radically exposed to this, and in a real way, the Kurds are an essential component of this society, who have suffered what they have suffered from displacement, absenteeism and the war of annihilation."
He continued: "We have essential allies in the Iraqi system and in Iraqi society who see the necessity of recognizing Kurdish rights, but there are also visions that see centralization in governance and do not accept the state of federalism and the state of government ... the issue cannot continue, neither the Kurds are satisfied, nor the Arabs are satisfied."

The Iraqi President, during his interview with Giselle Khoury, explained that “the citizen in Basra is no longer satisfied with that system, and the citizen in Kurdistan is also dissatisfied with this system. We must read it carefully. And, in my opinion, with all the differences, the national dialogue between the people of this country, God willing, we can solve these problems. Despite all these crises we have gone through, I am optimistic that we are able to overcome these problems. "



Saleh stated that "the relationship with America is a very important and basic relationship for this country, the relationship is based on common interests, and we now have a strategic dialogue between Iraq and the United States, and this dialogue deals with many issues, economic and political, and other important files, and also to a file." Presence of American forces. "

Regarding the strategic dialogue with Washington, the Iraqi president said: "A fact that we cannot reduce it only to the security side. The United States is a great economic power, a superpower in the world. We want to develop our economic, political and cultural relationship with them, if it is on the education side. As well as investments and other issues, work is underway in this context, and there is constant communication. "
He added, "I know Joe Biden personally, and I consider him one of those familiar with and friends of Iraq and he was interested in the Iraqi issue."
Regarding Biden’s theory of federations, Barham Salih said, “His theory of division was not, to be precise, because the Arab media considered it a division, but he was talking about a federal system project in Iraq, which is present in the Iraqi constitution, and he was vice president and was responsible for the Iraqi file in The Obama administration is the one who is following the file on the field and visiting us here in Iraq. "
He concluded by saying: "Therefore, we have old relations with him .. We cooperate in various fields and we affirm this cooperation because it is in the interest of Iraq, but at the same time we affirm the need for Iraqi sovereignty and complete Iraqi control over the security file completely."

The region’s share of the truth from the budget

Written by: Dr. Bilal Al-Khalifa

There is a lot of talk and debate every year, and it becomes more intense before the budget is approved, because the Kurds are returning the ball in the negotiations and it is accompanied by an escalation in the media to pave that way.

Reasons for re-negotiations annually
1- New developments taking place annually, which make the coming year different from the previous one.
2 - The Kurds know that they can win the negotiations, because the negotiator from the south is subject to the following reasons:
A - His responsibility has been bought.
B - was threatened with something.
C - is obedient to a party leader at the expense of his conscience and his country.
D - He has an interest with the Kurds.
3 - Lack of respect for them and their recognition of Iraq and considering it an opponent that is not part of it.

 

Today I am determined to clarify what goes roughly from the south’s funds to the Kurdish politicians in the north, and at the beginning let us clarify that the public funds in the budget are usually divided into two parts, which are operational and constitute 75% (approximately) and the rest are investment:

First: The operational part of the federal general budget is salaries, maintenance, and logistical, and among the necessary things that are difficult to bypass, in a previous article we explained that the percentage of Kurdish employees make up 20% of Iraqi employees and therefore the percentage of the Kurds from the operational budget is (20% x 75% = 15%) knowing that the Kurds do not provide the names and numbers of their employees and therefore their number is not correct and it is another resource for theft.

Second: Let's go on the other part of the federal budget, which is the remaining 25%, which is the investment budget, which is the most important thing for the ruling parties because it is one of the most important outlets for theft, from which the Kurds take 12.57%, meaning that the Kurds have 3.19% of the general budget.

Third: As you know that governments and presidential positions are quotas and have very large financial allocations that reach 15 million dollars a month and sometimes a week in addition to their exploitation in appointing relatives and favoritism. The Kurds, and the same thing is repeated when talking about the ministries that they occupy. We conclude from this that another part of the operational budget goes to the Kurds at the lowest estimate, whose share is 5% of the size of the federal general budget.

Fourth: We know that ministries are party shops, and among the conditions that dictate that a minister should not interfere in contract matters or appointments, and he has anything else, that is, most or all projects are referred to partisan companies that acquire the ministry or commission. The Kurds usually have three ministries, meaning that the projects of those ministries go to the Kurds. If the lowest estimate is 3% of the general budget goes to the Kurds.

Fifthly: Most of the southern officials are completely corrupt, and the evidence is by referring to their financial condition before and after the post, the extent of their corruption will be clearly evident (for knowledge all of them entrusted his father was a merchant, and his concern was all born of thought) and thus in order not to expose them, Kurdish contractors are hired so that the combinations are taken comfortably. For them, therefore, we notice that many of the contracts in Basra, Nasiriyah, and Amara are referred to Kurdish contractors, and the result is money that Kurdish politicians enter, and we will give this paragraph a percentage of 1% of the size of the federal public budget.

 

The article has another continuation, but today I will be satisfied with the size of what is taken from the federal budget by Kurdish politicians and by collecting the percentages in the five paragraphs above.

15 + 3.19 + 5 + 3 + 1 = 27.19% of the size of the federal budget.

Knowing that the study is random and approximate, because many other things have not been taken into account, such as loans that the Kurds borrow, and Baghdad is the one that repays, as well as arming and salaries of the Peshmerga, Asayish and others.

To me it looks like 1% or more is in the budget for theft.
