He said, "We had two options, either to maintain the same situation or to send a message of reassurance to the citizens that we are serious about searching for solutions, and that is why we have taken a decision to dismiss the governor and assign Lieutenant General Abdul Ghani Al-Asadi to temporarily manage the governorate's affairs until a new governor is agreed upon, especially since the governorate is on the verge of a global event. An important human being is the visit of His Holiness the Pope to Nasiriyah." "We have taken the decision to dismiss the governor in order to send a message to our people in Dhi Qar that we are serious about achieving solutions. I wish all parties, social, political, and tribal actors and activists to cooperate with Lieutenant General Abdul Ghani Al-Asadi and formed an advisory council of nine people from Nasiriyah who are known for their competence, integrity and experience. The council will be connected to me personally, and through them I follow the needs of the governorate and support the new governor." He noted that "he asked Al-Asadi to communicate with the demonstrators, tribal sheikhs, dignitaries, social and political actors and elites in Nasiriyah to present us with a group of names of candidates for the position of governor. We asked for five names to discuss in the Council of Ministers and choose one of them."

He stressed, "The position of the governor is supposed to be chosen through fair elections, and it is not the prime minister's task, and since there is a legal problem mainly in the case of the governor of Dhi Qar and there is no ability to hold provincial council elections now, I ask notables, political forces, demonstrators, and all of these people." The province should agree on a name for the candidate soon." "I came in a difficult situation to stop the bloodbath, to stop the plans to divide Iraq, and to protect the country from the results of the American-Iranian rivalry on the land of Iraq and from the results of the rivalry and the struggle of the brothers with each other ... Then I leave and hand the trust to whomever fair elections bring."

He pointed out that, "with the efforts of this government, we stopped the attempts to divide Iraq and we passed the stage and we passed the economic crisis and put the Iraqi economy on a healthy start and the results of economic reform began to appear. Dependence on oil in the 2021 budget and making it 70% after it was 96%, and the percentage was in favor of revitalizing industry, agriculture and other sectors. He revealed, "There are those who bet on the bankruptcy of the state and not paying the salaries of employees, but the government has succeeded in overcoming that. Likewise, fighting corruption in the notorious currency auction." Many paths of the political process. We will stand against all anarchist and terrorist groups and all outlaws. "

He added, "My family, you must cooperate with me to save our country from severe economic, health and security crises that obstruct its path ... If some forces, parties, some political voices and voices of corruption are trying to mislead you ... Pay attention to this misinformation." And between the prime minister, "I say especially to some of the forces that I know have been trying to occupy me and the government for months with successive daily crises in order to prevent us from serving our people and even say that Iraqi patriots are not better than others.)"

He added, "We succeeded in for Iraq to have a regional and global role in calming down. Yesterday, the foreign minister was in Iran and then in Saudi Arabia and other countries. Iraq will play a pivotal role in calming down and today everyone listens to Iraq." And Al-Kazemi said, "This government is a tent for everyone, for all political blocs, for social sectors, for peaceful demonstrators, and for all social actors. I hope this message will reach me."

Sairoun: Accusing us of raising the price of the dollar is political auctions

1610955111816.jpg

 

28th February, 2021


On Sunday, the Saeron Alliance denied its relationship with raising the dollar’s exchange rate or refusing to reduce it, indicating that fixing the dollar’s prices is a purely governmental issue far from political influence.

A member of the coalition, Riad Al-Masoudi, told Shafaq News: The increase in the price of the dollar took place between the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank of Iraq, and it is an economic issue related to the financial and monetary policy of the country according to Articles 78 and 80 of the Iraqi constitution, which stipulate that the government is responsible for setting and drawing the country's financial policies, preparing budgets, final accounts, and development projects. He linked the political parliamentary Saeron alliance with the issue of dollar prices.

Al-Masoudi considered the accusation of the Saeron coalition of controlling the dollar and currency exchange file as political auctions by some parties and not based on any legal justification.

Added; The Iraqi banking system is dilapidated and old, and there is no monetary, economic or financial aspect in it. The competent authorities must prepare effective economic plans and strategies to reform the banking system and raise the value of the Iraqi dinar against other foreign currencies.

negotiations with the World Bank.

then, what are you waiting for? get it done quickly and change the exchange rate immediately. how much more time do you need to negotiate to set the new exchange rate between the goi and the world bank? 5 years or 10 years are too long and wasting time. if you can get it done in one week, it is even better.

The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in Diyala confirmed, on Saturday, that Corona's measures and restrictions and the high exchange rates of the dollar have transformed 60% of Diyala's population into poverty and embarrassment of living.

The director of the Human Rights Office in Diyala, Salah Mahdi, said in an interview that two-thirds of Diyala’s residents are low-income and without pay. They depend on the private sector as the only livelihood resource to meet their basic living needs.

Mahdi added; The recent restrictions of Corona and the rise in dollar prices to high levels have affected 60% of the segments of Diyala and made it the level of poverty, according to the field statistics available in the province.

He pointed out that the rise in the prices of food commodities and basic household items to 20-30% in addition to the irregular distribution of employees' salaries, factors that affected the sources of livelihood in Diyala and increased the suffering of citizens.

Mahdi continued; The comprehensive curfew measures prevented the earning classes and daily wage workers from securing their livelihood, which requires reconsideration of the prohibition mechanisms in a way that guarantees the prevention of Corona and secures the livelihoods of the poor classes on the other hand.

The Supreme Committee for Health and Safety in Iraq reimposed the Corona restrictions on the eighteenth of this month, and included the imposition of a total and partial ban and restricting the movement of citizens and markets, which caused popular discontent that favored risks in facing the epidemic instead of starvation.
