The Washington Institute: Al-Kazemi is sincere in his words and promises, and is able to change the rules of the game, and Abdul-Mahdi has evaded measures to protect the lives of American diplomats

Baghdad - Iraq today:

 

The Washington Institute considered that the American presence in Iraq remains a vital interest for the national security of the United States and that the withdrawal of the United States will end the efforts to curb ISIS, undermine confidence in Baghdad, and exacerbate the economic crisis in Iraq.

Writer David Schenker, a senior fellow at the Washington Institute and former Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs, says about his experience in Iraq and his meetings with political leaders: I see the success of Mustafa Al-Kazemi in making his way and bypassing his opponents.

Schenker, in a report published by The Washington Institute last week, suggested that Al-Kazemi is sincere in his words and promises and is able to change the rules of the game in Iraq and the region.

He added: During my work at the US State Department, I visited Iraq more than any other country, and met with the country's leaders in an attempt to encourage Baghdad to take the initiative and play its role to consolidate Iraqi sovereignty, or at least fulfill its international obligations under the Vienna Convention for the Protection of Diplomats. 
 

By 2020, the armed factions, out of their intention to remove US military forces and diplomatic personnel from the country, had engaged in a campaign of missile and missile attacks that targeted American elements, thus threatening the sustainability of the American presence in Iraq.

Schenker indicated that his conversation with then Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi was fruitless, and whenever Abdul-Mahdi was pressured to take the necessary steps to protect the lives of American diplomats, he became accustomed to dodging and manipulating words.

He explained that Washington's relationship with Abdul-Mahdi has deteriorated following the increase in attacks on American elements and American interests.

Schenker stresses that Al-Kazemi shows a real desire for sovereignty, but he faces great challenges.

Oil prices are making weekly gains

 
image.jpeg.6700d031ade0a81a203c9ec0453b42a0.jpeg
 
 
11:21 - 04/17/2021

Oil prices rose to $ 67 a barrel, heading towards weekly gains, as strong demand expectations and signs of economic recovery in China and the United States offset the rise in Corona virus infections in some other major economies.

Official data showed that Chinese GDP for the first quarter jumped 18.3% year-on-year, and US retail sales numbers showed an increase in unemployment claims and a drop in unemployment claims. 
There is little chance of dampening the market's comforting glare anytime soon.


Brent crude rose eight cents, or 0.1 percent, to $ 67.02 a barrel, on its way to achieving weekly gains of 6.3 percent after rising for five consecutive sessions, and US West Texas Intermediate crude fell 14 cents, or 0.2 percent, to $ 63.32.

A member of the Parliamentary Economic Committee, Nada Shaker Jawdat, confirmed, on Saturday, that the clause of the employee salaries deduction tax has been removed from the draft budget, and therefore this law cannot proceed

Jawdat said in a statement to NRT Arabia, (April 17, 2021), “It seems that the Ministry of Finance is not aware that Article (20) of the tax deduction process, with its five paragraphs, has been completely removed from the draft budget law, and therefore this law cannot go ahead and prejudice salaries. employees

She added, "Therefore, the possibility of the existence of anything related to the process of withholding salaries and imposing a tax on employees, and that Article (34 C) is not related to remote security or near security, with the issue of withholding and taxing salaries

Jawdat indicated, "This particular paragraph talks about the issue of productivity and the process of supporting local and imported products in order to advance the productive sector," noting that "what the Ministry of Finance claimed in this matter is considered unreal and impermeable because the paragraph is basically null

She explained, "The legislative side is not with the process of imposing a tax on the salaries of employees by deleting Article (20) in the budget law with its 5 paragraphs, and therefore the important aspect for employees is not to deduct their salaries as a result of the weight that afflicted this segment by changing the exchange rate." Dollar

As for what the Al-Kazemi government has done so far, Jawdat indicated that "the government from the economic side is still weak and there are no tangible achievements on the ground," expressing 

"I hope that the Al-Kazemi government will play a greater role in this aspect, such as changing the exchange rate of the dollar

"The devaluation of the Iraqi dinar is considered a weakness in this area, because the country is floating on a sea of oil, and therefore the state cannot resort to the process of devaluing its currency in this way," Jawdat concluded

Considering- “ Conscious / after 16 years of delay....move the oil & gas file “ - this has been nothing short of a deliberate attempt at remaining UNCONSCIOUS to needs of the people & the country all the while maintaining the Express Lane of graft, greed and money laundering. 


Always figured they would never get to this issue unless they painted themselves into a corner by their own corruption. Perhaps the day has now arrived where they have no choice BUT to do the right thing ??
