SHARP DISAGREEMENTS WITHIN THE HALBOUSI COALITION OVER THE VETO OF A THIRD TERM FOR MALIKI
Informed sources revealed on Sunday the existence of deep disagreements within the leadership of the Halbousi Alliance due to what some have termed a “veto” on a third term for Nouri al-Maliki.
The source told Al-Maalouma that “important figures within the Halbousi Alliance were dissatisfied with the statement issued by the National Political Council, which implicitly vetoed a third term for Maliki, despite the support of the Alliance’s constituent forces for him as a candidate to form the next government.”
The source added that “these figures emphasized the necessity of dealing with the Alliance’s constituent forces and their choices according to clear principles, far removed from personal agendas,” noting that “what was stated in the statement represents only Halbousi’s opinion and not that of all the leaders of his alliance.” The source pointed out that “this statement may lead to an escalation of disagreements within the alliance, as such decisions should be made through coordination and agreement, not unilaterally. This is what prompted the Azm and Hazm National Alliances to reject the statement, asserting that it was not issued in agreement with Mohammed Halbousi.”
Introduction: Faith, Politics, and Financial Transition
On January 28, 2026, Frank 26 of ktfways.com delivered a comprehensive update on Iraq’s political upheaval, monetary reform, and the Iraqi dinar (IQD).
Combining spiritual reflection, insider banking intelligence, and U.S. geopolitical influence, Frank highlighted how recent developments point toward the removal of Nouri Maliki, the ascension of Mohammed Shia’ Al Sudani, and a currency reform backed by gold and silver.
The video, dated January 28, 2026, features Frank 26 fromktfways.com(“Keep The Faith Always In Our Heavenly Father”) delivering a detailed commentary and analysis primarily focused on the political and financial situation in Iraq, particularly regarding the Iraqi dinar, government formation, and monetary reform. The content is a mix of personal reflections, prayer, updates from Iraqi contacts, and political insights, with a recurring emphasis on U.S. influence, especially former President Donald Trump’s role.
Key Themes and Insights
Spiritual Foundation: Frank begins with a prayer invoking divine guidance and strength in dealing with impatience, pride, and ego. He reflects on the historic role of the Bible in World War II and emphasizes the importance of faith.
Iraqi Political Turmoil:
Maliki’s Political Struggles: Nouri Maliki, the former Iraqi Prime Minister, is portrayed as a destabilizing figure (“delusional,” “bipolar,” “schizophrenic”) who unsuccessfully tried to reclaim power.
Trump’s Influence: Former President Trump publicly opposed Maliki’s return, effectively isolating him politically. Trump’s intervention caused emergency meetings among Iraqi political factions (the Coordination Framework), who eventually rejected Maliki.
Sudani’s Position: Mohammed Shia’ Al Sudani is depicted as the favored candidate for Prime Minister, seen as a stabilizing force and possibly working in coordination with U.S. interests.
Coordination Framework Dynamics: The Iraqi Coordination Framework is portrayed as fractured; some factions resist U.S. influence, but many are pressured to concede to stability and reform.
Monetary Reform and Iraqi Dinar:
Bank Executives’ Insights: Trusted Iraqi banking executives communicate to Frank’s team that current political chaos is normal before a major financial event and that the currency reform process is progressing.
Asset-Backing with Gold and Silver: Iraq possesses approximately 172 tons of gold, with intentions to back its currency with precious metals. Gold prices are targeted to rise above $5,000 an ounce, with silver reaching $100 an ounce, strengthening the dinar’s value.
Street Market Volatility: The unofficial currency exchange rate (“street market”) shows instability, with rates fluctuating and concerns about rates reaching dangerous levels (e.g., 1,800–2,000 dinars per USD), which could trigger a crisis if unchecked.
Anti-Money Laundering Efforts: Iraq is preparing for anti-money laundering evaluations, signaling efforts to improve financial transparency and credibility.
U.S. and Regional Geopolitics:
Trump is credited with playing a strategic “chess game” to undermine Iranian influence in Iraq and the broader Middle East.
Iranian-backed politicians in Iraq are expected to be isolated and prosecuted due to corruption and destabilizing activities.
Trump’s public stance and pressure have had a destabilizing effect on Iranian influence, with rumors of Iran reaching out to Trump for negotiations.
Future Outlook:
The political reset in Iraq is ongoing, with a tentative timeline aiming for government formation and monetary reform before Ramadan (starting February 13, 2026).
The Coordination Framework is reportedly regrouping and considering alternative prime ministerial candidates other than Maliki, with Sudani emerging as the leading figure.
Transparency and accountability for corruption are expected, with investigations and prosecutions forthcoming.
Personal and Community Updates:
Frank humorously discusses internet impersonators misusing his image and statements, clarifying his actual opinions.
He shares personal anecdotes, prayers, and community messages, including plans for KTFA projects such as a children’s hospital and educational initiatives.
Frank emphasizes faith, perseverance, and the importance of trusting the process.
