Sudanese To The Turkish Minister Of Energy: We Are Ready To Find A Solution To Resume Oil Exports

Baghdad Today – Baghdad  Today, Wednesday (November 22, 2023), Prime Minister Muhammad Shia al-Sudani confirmed during his meeting with the Turkish Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, Alp Arslan Bayraktar, and his accompanying delegation, the government’s readiness to find a solution to resume the export of Kurdistan region’s oil through the Turkish port of Ceyhan.

A statement from the Prime Minister’s Office received by “Baghdad Today” stated, “The meeting discussed cooperation relations between Iraq and Turkey in the field of energy and ways to develop it, as well as discussing the efforts of the two countries to resume the work of the meetings of the Joint Economic Committee at its 19th session, and to continue work on the issue of exporting Iraqi oil through the Turkish port of Ceyhan.” ".

During the meeting, the Prime Minister explained, "The government's readiness to find a solution to resume oil exports," stressing that "Iraq has adopted fair solutions, within the limits of the Constitution, in dealing with various issues of neighboring countries."

Al-Sudani referred to "the water file, Iraq's water share, and the trend toward optimal use of water, especially in the field of agriculture," stressing, "Iraq looks forward to more Turkish cooperation in this file, which receives great attention from the government, because of its economic and humanitarian impacts."

He also referred to "the important strategic project that both countries are working on, which is the path of development, and the steady growth it will achieve in various joint economic sectors."

The meeting also discussed, according to the statement, "the position of the two countries regarding the current events in Gaza, and the conformity of visions regarding the Palestinian issue. In this regard, the Prime Minister appreciated Turkey's clear position on the condemned attacks on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip."

For his part, the Turkish Minister conveyed to the Prime Minister the greetings of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his country’s desire for more cooperation in various fields. He pointed to the Turkish President’s clear and detailed interest in the development road project, stressing that Iraq is an important country not only for Turkey, but also For European countries, especially in the field of energy and the promising investment opportunities it has in the global gas market.”

It was likely that an agreement would be reached last week between Baghdad, the Kurdistan Regional Government and foreign oil companies to resume production from oil fields in the region following the visit of Oil Minister Hayan Abdul Ghani a week ago to Erbil.

Turkey stopped flows amounting to 450,000 barrels per day through the export route in the Iraqi Kurdistan region leading to the port of Ceyhan, on March 25, 2023, two days after a ruling issued by the International Chamber of Commerce.

 The International Chamber of Commerce ordered Ankara to pay compensation to Baghdad amounting to about $1.5 billion for unauthorized exports by the Kurdistan Regional Government between 2014 and 2018.

Baghdad submitted a request for arbitration in 2014 before the International Chamber of Commerce, based in Paris, regarding Turkey’s role in facilitating oil exports from Kurdistan without the approval of the federal government.

 Last March, the International Chamber of Commerce ruled in favor of Iraq that it has the right to control loading at the port of Ceyhan and see what is being loaded.

Iraq announced last May that the halt, in March, coincided with Turkey's request to inspect the pipeline and storage tanks to monitor any damage resulting from the devastating earthquake that occurred on February 6.

The two countries agreed to wait until the pipeline maintenance assessment is completed to resume flows while continuing the legal battle over arbitration awards.  LINK

Iraq’s PM Sudani Connects with Citizens Amidst Political Tensions, 23 NOV

 Iraq’s PM Sudani Connects with Citizens Amidst Political Tensions

On the cusp of a complex socio-political climate, Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ Al Sudani establishes a direct line of communication with the citizens of Mosul through a phone-in segment on ‘Al-Watan wal-Nas’. This initiative, a brainchild of Sudani’s administration, comes as an effort to bridge the distance between the government and its people, opening avenues for transparent dialogue and facilitating a two-way exchange of ideas and concerns.

Reaching Out: Direct Dialogues for Democracy

The Prime Minister’s outreach is a testament to the government’s commitment to inclusivity and responsiveness. By choosing a popular media platform, Sudani ensures a broad audience, fostering an atmosphere of transparency, trust, and mutual respect between the government and the Iraqi people. The program provides a platform for citizens to voice their daily challenges, concerns, and aspirations, effectively making them active participants in the democratic process.

Crisis Communication Amidst Political Tensions

This initiative unfolds against the backdrop of escalating tensions in the region, with recent attacks on US interests in Iraq and threats against the US Embassy. In the face of these challenges, Sudani’s administration is determined to maintain a steady and open dialogue with its citizens, reinforcing the message that the government is receptive and responsive to their needs.

Striking a Balance: From Power Consolidation to People’s Voice

The outreach effort also throws into relief the challenges faced by the Prime Minister in controlling Iran-backed factions. These factions played a significant role in securing Sudani’s election a year ago and now form a powerful bloc in his governing coalition. However, Sudani’s commitment to direct communication signifies a shift in his administration’s focus – from consolidating power to amplifying the voices of the people. This shift could potentially influence the political landscape of Iraq, fostering a culture of transparency and accountability.

In conclusion, the Prime Minister’s initiative marks a significant step towards a more inclusive and responsive government. By encouraging open and transparent dialogue, the administration is not only addressing immediate concerns but also shaping the foundations of a robust democracy in Iraq. It remains to be seen how this approach will influence the socio-political dynamics of the region in the long run. Nonetheless, this move undoubtedly underscores the value of communication in bridging the gap between the government and its people.

Iraqi Council of Ministers Establishes Joint Committee for Border Crossings, Welcomed by Kurdish Official, 23 NOV

Iraqi Council of Ministers Establishes Joint Committee for Border Crossings, Welcomed by Kurdish Official

In a significant development, the Iraqi Council of Ministers has decided to establish a joint committee to scrutinize border crossings operations, a move hailed by a Kurdish regional official in Iraq. The official emphasized the necessity of this decision, asserting the Kurdistan Regional Government’s (KRG) vital observations should inform all decisions and directives related to the border crossings.

Rojava Conflict: An Unending Story

The decision comes against the backdrop of the ongoing Rojava conflict, also known as the Rojava Revolution, in northern Syria, a region also known among Kurds as Western Kurdistan or Rojava. The conflict, rooted in the historical repression of Kurds and other ethnic minorities in Syria, has become an integral part of the larger Syrian civil war and the Arab Spring. The strife led to the formation of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) in 2016, a Kurdish-dominated coalition striving to establish a new constitution for the de facto autonomous region.

Implications of the Conflict: A Far-Reaching Impact

The conflict’s implications stretch beyond Syria and have recently manifested in the form of Turkish airstrikes on Iraqi territory. These attacks, specifically targeting the Kurdish region, resulted in the tragic loss of several members of the region’s counterterrorism force and Kurdish Peshmerga forces. The aftermath of these events has escalated the ongoing tensions between Iraq and Turkey, specifically concerning the Kurdish region.

Border Disputes: A Global Phenomenon

Border disputes are not a phenomenon exclusive to the Middle East. A relevant instance can be observed in the recent protocol signing between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan concerning disputed border areas. This agreement aims to resolve ongoing conflicts and clashes, thereby offering an interesting parallel to the formation of the joint committee in Iraq.

Alongside these developments, a six-hour reduction in electricity supply was reported in Penjwen, a town in the Kurdish region of Iraq. The official did not elaborate on the cause or implications of the power cut, leaving room for speculation and concern.

The Iraqi Council of Ministers’ decision to establish a joint committee to review border operations is a promising step forward. It underlines the importance of negotiation and collaboration in addressing territorial disputes and maintaining peace. The Kurdistan Regional Government’s inclusion in these discussions signifies recognition of their essential role in shaping policies and decisions related to border operations. Yet, the situation remains complex, with the Rojava conflict and power cuts in Penjwen adding another layer of intricacy to the already convoluted landscape of Middle Eastern politics.

TIDBITS OF BRUCE, 23 NOV

 [via WiserNow] 

 Think everything is in full prep mode ready to roll.  Now what could happen - we don't know...do not know if tomorrow is in play – Thanksgiving night might be in play for notifications. Start of everything could be Friday...you know, we just don't know...I think it is possible they will let us have our numbers and we set our appointments for Friday...

• On Tues. 21 Nov. at 11 am EST they made the decision that the Redemption Centers would not be open on Thanksgiving. Notification for Tier4b (us, the Internet Group) to make exchange/ redemption appointments would come either right before Thanksgiving, or right after. 
• Wed. 22 Nov. was the 60 year anniversary of the assassination of JFK, when they planned to use the three different Emergency Systems for some type of Disclosure. NESARA/ GESARA, Iraqi Dinar, and new US Note were about to be announced.
• The new Iraqi Dinar International Exchange Rate at a bank was just over $5, which was 1/3 the rate of what you would get at a Redemption Center.

"RV UPDATE" BY NADER FROM MID EAST & PIMPY, 23 NOV

 Nader From The Mid East

  Yes, it's going to revalue.  When?  I don't know.  But it's going to revalue.  They have to revalue.  If you look at the history and you look at the wealth Iraq has...It's real.  What's going on is real...The revolution of the dinar is there.  The reinstatement is there.  They're going to have to reinstate...The...dinar was down because of the war and the sanctions...Iraq got heavily sanctions.  But now the country is going back to normal.  

Pimpy 

 This is what I think is funny about these so-called professionals.  They start off by telling you the Iraqi dinar is never going revalue and then they turn around and tell you well, there is some possibilities.  Either it is or it isn't.  Why don't you just be honest about the Iraqi dinar?

   The dinar is not a scam.  It's a legitimate currency.   Can it increase in value?  Of course it could.

 Month, month and a half there's been quite a bit of positive news coming out of Iraq.  Let's hope they stay out of trouble and continue working on doing what it takes to regain their sovereignty.  They're taking all the right steps to do what it takes to appreciate the Iraqi dinar which all of us are happy about. 

 You still got people out there...swearing up and down that means there's going to be a reinstatement of the $3.22 rate. 

 I'm going to continue to tell you no it isn't.  I still believe the Iraqi dinar is going to go up in increments.  It's not going to jump up to $3.22 right off the get-go.  It'll get there fairly quick but it's not going to happen overnight.  As long as they stay in the good graces of the Untied States everything should be fine...

  In the news we see Iraq is involved in another currency swap...The fact they're now starting to prepare themselves to do currency swaps with UAE is big news. 

 The more they do that with other countries the stronger the Iraqi dinar becomes.  Think supply and demand.  In order for you to do a currency swap you have to take in their currencies and they have to take in yours...
