A report by the "Chatham House" Institute stated that corruption wasted $550 billion from the Iraqi treasury in eight years, indicating that the political elite relies on corruption through power-sharing, while noting that Iraq is without clean water and most of the medicines "without validity" due to corruption.

 

The report stated that "violence is linked to corruption in key sectors and harms Iraqis daily. The data revealed that between 2006 and 2014, the country lost an estimated $551 billion as a result of corruption."

 

The report added that "the ruling elites depend on corruption through the power-sharing system to benefit from the wealth and the budget estimated at one hundred billion dollars annually," noting that "despite those huge budgets, the ruling class did not succeed in providing basic public services because of corruption, and that the country Today, there is no clean water and most of the medicines have exceeded their powers, which made the Iraqi people have one of the lowest life expectancies in the world . ”

 

According to international reports, the wave of violence witnessed by the Green Zone in Iraq during the past few weeks attracted the world's attention, but its roots extend to years of political conflict that has not reached a solution so far .

Looks like " torches, pitchforks, farming tools, AKs & RPGs " time.

These criminals have caused horrific damage to Iraq & it's people while enriching themselves beyond the most wild of expectations.

I don't expect any type of of RI/RV: what I do expect is an absolute Volcanic uprising of the Iraqi people to once & for all rid themselves of this cancer that's killing their country.

Protests aren't working, new elections WILL NOT solve the problem: all that does is elect the same Pro-Iranian criminals & new ones.
