Sulaymaniyah...a paralyzed life "in work and money" and 20 additional departments will join the strike tomorrow - urgent
Today, Sunday (March 24, 2024), 21 government departments went on strike due to the delay in disbursing employees’ salaries in Kurdistan for the month of February.
The streets of Sulaymaniyah witnessed a complete absence of traffic police, causing problems at a number of major intersections, especially those without a traffic light.
Tomorrow, the strike will expand to include more than 40 districts in Sulaymaniyah, Halabja, Rania, Garmian, Qalaat Diza, Sayyid Sadiq, Darbandikhan and other areas.
Dana Zangana, a member of the Protest Committee in Sulaymaniyah, said in an interview with “Baghdad Today” that, “Tomorrow, educational staff, lecturers, and employees will demonstrate, and the strike will continue, and the demonstration may turn into an open sit-in.”He added, "The demonstration aims to convey a message to the federal government that we do not want to settle our salaries except in federal banks exclusively, and we reject the My Account project affiliated with the regional government banks."
The markets of Sulaymaniyah are witnessing an unprecedented recession and a complete absence of preparations to receive the blessed Eid al-Fitr, as the city was crowded with thousands of families who went to the markets on the nights of Ramadan to shop and prepare for the blessed holiday, due to the lack of financial liquidity among the driving segment of the economy in the market, who are the employees. link
