Iraqi PM: the Government is considering redefining the priorities of work of UNAMI

Shafaq News/ Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammad Shia Al-Sudani announced the Government's intention to redefine the priorities and scope of work for the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) during a meeting with Volker Perthes, the Head of the Independent Strategic Review of UNAMI, and his delegation on Wednesday.

Expressing Iraq's willingness to support UNAMI in its tasks, Al-Sudani commended the dedication of United Nations workers globally and praised the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, for his "principled stance on the events in Gaza." 

He emphasized the Iraqi Government's unique perspective on its international assistance requirements and desire to refocus UNAMI's efforts. Al-Sudani outlined key areas for cooperation, including addressing water scarcity, climate change, economic and financial reform, improving services, combating corruption, and upholding human rights principles. 

Al-Sudani underscored Iraq's increasing capacity to tackle internal and external challenges, actively contributing to regional stability and peace.

Perthes acknowledged the positive developments in Iraq since 2003, particularly in democracy and civil peace. He praised the Government's initiatives, highlighting projects like the Development Road Initiative aimed at economic diversification and stability. 

Perthes revealed that the Independent Strategic Review team plans to conduct on-site visits in Iraq, engaging with federal and local government representatives and UN teams.

UNAMI is a special political mission established in 2003 by UN Security Council Resolution 1500 at the request of the Government of Iraq. The Mission has been operational ever since, and its role was greatly expanded in 2007 with the adoption of Resolution 1770.

According to the UN, "UNAMI's mandate is to prioritize the provision of advice, support, and assistance to the Government and people of Iraq on advancing the inclusive, political dialogue and national and community-level reconciliation; assisting in the electoral process; facilitating regional dialogue between Iraq and its neighbors; and promoting the protection of human rights and judicial and legal reforms."

About 650 personnel, 250 international and 400 national staff, work for the Mission in Iraq.

Iraqi Dinar🔥Eventually Reinstatement On Forex🔥iraqi dinar RV update🔥iraq...

"RV UPDATE" BY PIMPY, 8 NOV

  Pimpy  

 One year report card...Al-Sudani and his cabinet...Given all the circumstances I would give Sudani definitely a B- .  To be honest I thought it was going to be a lot worse than this. 

 But like I said once the budget is passed we're going to start to see people's true colors.  The second year is going to tell us a whole lot about Al-Sudani.  Just when you think you got the right guy in there who seems to be getting everybody on the right path we have another election coming up again.  That's going to tell us everything we need to know...

I believe they're going to go up in increments as the dinar gets stronger especially next year when they're using solely the Iraqi dinar.  That's going to strengthen the dinar but there's always things that could change the way the dinar goes up in value.  Removing the sanctions would be huge..

Article: "The Baghdad dollar jumps to 168 after intense speculation on the stock exchanges"  So the exchange rate of the US dollar soared.  In other words that's the wrong direction.  

Quote:  "the selling price reached 1680 for every dollar."  What does this mean?  They need to change the exchange rate...At least go back to the original rate of 1190 dinar...

"RV UPDATE" BY MARKZ, 8 NOV

 MarkZ 

 “The central bank of Iraq have decided to resume the sale of gold bars and coins starting from Wednesday Nov. 8th”.  ...they will be selling to private banks and the government. This is big imo…and shows more de-dollarization.  And shows a similar pattern to Zimbabwe…going back to gold to support the value of their currencies.

 Question:  Mark do you think the RV is waiting until January?   MarkZ:    I don’t think so.  So much is happening now…and all at once...Most of my sources believe things are moving at a wonderful pace this week.

Not a lot of RV news but, the overwhelming consensus is that they did their best to pull the trigger over Friday and Saturday. Their backup plan was Monday night or Tuesday....They feel very confident they will get this thing wrapped in the near future. There is a whole heck of a lot of expectations for the next 2 days

 Seems that things appear to be heating up…so many rumors.
