A movement to resolve the position of Speaker of Parliament after the end of the Eid holiday, 13 APRIL

A movement to resolve the position of Speaker of Parliament after the end of the Eid holiday

Following the conclusion of the Eid Al-Fitr vacation, Representative Hadi Al-Salami said on Friday that efforts are underway to settle the Speaker of the House of Representatives position.

“Deciding on the Speaker of the House of Representatives position without political consensus is not possible, and this is what is happening now through a series of meetings that push this option by adopting a road map to vote on a candidate for this important position,” stated Al-Salami in an interview.

“The movement has escalated recently,” he continued, “especially with the existence of priority consensuses on the mechanisms for resolution through putting forward a consensual candidate.” It is anticipated that the matter will be brought before the House of Representatives following the conclusion of the Eid al-Fitr holiday.

He made the argument that “passing significant legislation and fulfilling a constitutional entitlement requires resolving the Speaker of the House of Representatives position.”

After cases were filed with the Federal Court, disagreements between various political factions hindered the selection of a speaker for the House of Representatives many months ago.

"RV UPDATE" BY JEFF, 13 APRIL

  The next big step in this is we want to see when Iraq will be amending their budget...They can amend it before or after the rate changes...

 This weekend coming up would be the historical anniversary date of when Kuwait reinstated their currency - March 24, 1991

 Iraq technically does not need to amend the budget if they're not changing their rate.  

The budget already covers their operating expenses.  But they would need surplus funds to cover the reforms.  The reforms are contingent upon the rate changing.  They can't bring these reform package forward if the rate does not change.  The only reason they're amending the budget is because the rate is changing...The step of amending the budget can happen either before or after the rate changes   ... They will probably announce Thursday or Friday as to when they plan to amend the budget, which they'll probably do around this weekend...

 [Response to Guru Jeff's budget/ exchange rate posts 3-19-2024 below]  

They are going to amend the budget with or without a rate change. ...Does it make sense for you to release the budget before they increase the exchange rate because then you have to turn around and redo the budget and make all the changes to the budget using the new exchange rate.

  So no, it doesn't make sense to release the budget before you change the exchange rate.  You would change the exchange rate then go through and amend all of your budget because the money you've allocated obviously has changed...

The suspension of the funds has to do with corruption.  The reforms can be activated without changing the rate.  They're going to reallocate revenue from oil to help fund all these reforms..

Today, Friday, the US of America uncovered the main records that Iraqi State leader Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani will talk about with US President Joe Biden.

A senior US State Division official said, “The security and protection organization between the US and Iraq will be a significant piece of the discussions of Iraqi Top state leader Muhammad Shia al-Sudani during his visit to Washington one week from now, yet it isn’t the focal point of the visit.”

The authority, who addressed columnists on state of obscurity, added that Sudanese’s visit will zero in on monetary relations, even as Washington and Baghdad are holding discusses finishing the US-drove military coalition in the country.

The senior State Division official said that protection and security relations will be important for the conversations during Sudanese’s visit, when he meets with President Joe Biden, Safeguard Secretary Lloyd Austin, as well as Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.

He added that the visit will zero in rather on the economy and issues including training, the climate, and American help for advancement, without delving into subtleties, showing that the conversations will address everything connected with our relationship and where it is going.

"RV UPDATE" BY MILITIAMAN, 13 APRIL

 Militia Man

  The Iraq stage is clearly set for Al-Sudani to come to the USA...His achievements to date are phenomenal in totality!  The DFI funds / funding having been the legal basis for depositing oil revenues in the new "IRAQ2" account with the Federal Reserve Bank in New York, "is the expiration of EO 13303", which granted Iraq the ability for her funds to be deposited in an account to be protected with legal authority, and to be where they are now. 

  Bottom line is Iraq has about $16 to $17 trillion worth of product in the ground that they know of and they're going to go after it...

 Remember when you say Iraq was paying for all of their major construction at 1310 you'll see...payments were able to disperse out of the DFI fund..

.Food, currency exchange programs, electricity, oil infrastructure programs, equipment for Iraqis, equipment for security forces, civil services, salaries, Ministry of budget operations - that's a broad spectrum...They had a lot of things that they could tap into that oil money revenue stream dollars [DFI}.  It wasn't in dinars.  Things have changed now...They have a time crunch...Since the DFI has gone into the Iraqi2 Fund you're going to see big changes I'm excited to see...

Erdogan prepares to put forward the most complex plan to Sudan to end the presence of the Kurdistan workers

Mawazine News-Baghdad
Turkish sources confirmed that plans for a major operation to eliminate the PKK in northern Iraq are ready, and their implementation is expected to be discussed during President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s visit to Baghdad on April 22.

The sources said that Ankara has completed the determination of the steps it will take to clear the line leading to Sulaymaniyah of the elements of the “Kurdan Workers”, and the designation of forces and support elements that will cross the border has begun, and the shipping of armored units, military and logistical elements has accelerated, and will be pushed to the border line after the Eid al-Fitr holiday.
The Harriyet newspaper, which is close to the Turkish government, quoted sources it described as “informed”, that Ankara intends to deploy the Russian air defense system “S-400”, on its borders with Iraq within the framework of the large-scale operation targeting the “PKurdish Workers”, which will be conducted in coordination with Baghdad and Erbil, and the focus will beside the ground attack on thwarting attacks of terrorist organization (PKWK) elements with drones.

The Russian two-battery system, which Turkey acquired from Russia in the summer of 2019, raises a oddds with the United States and fears by NATO that a NATO member state could use the system that could expose Russia to its military systems.

Turkey has been subjected to US sanctions over the purchase of the Russian system, including preventing it from acquiring F-35 fighters, and has not yet been able to use them.

The newspaper reported that pro-Ankara Syrian armed opposition factions confirmed that they would provide all possible support for the upcoming Turkish operation in northern Iraq.

Through the operation, Turkey aims to eliminate the positions of the “PKK” within the borders of the military operation “Al-Mulab” area that has been ongoing since 2019, through ground operations with air attribution and the closure of the 378-kilometer border completely at a depth of 40 kilometers, like what is being worked on in northern Syria.

According to the sources, the border line including the Gara area known as the KKK caves and shelters will be reached to destroy it, and the area will be placed under the permanent control of the Turkish forces to prevent it from using it again.

The governments of Baghdad and Erbil are expected to provide intelligence support, and take action against the Kurdish workers in Sulaymaniyah and Sinjar.

Last month, a Turkish Defense Ministry official confirmed an agreement on cooperation with Iraqi officials on the establishment of a safe zone 40 kilometers deep in northern Iraq by the summer, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced.

He stated that during the high-level security meeting held in Baghdad on March 13, with the participation of foreign and defense ministers and heads of intelligence and security services, it was agreed to establish a joint operations center to coordinate movements against the Kurdistan Workers’ Party in northern Iraq.

He added that preparations are continuing to prepare the strategic framework document to be signed between the two countries during Erdogan’s visit to Baghdad, and that one of the issues that we want to include in this document is the establishment of the Joint Operations Center, and the technical details of the operation of the center will be determined after its signing.

Turkey is seeking to eliminate the presence of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party in northern Iraq, and to sever its link with the Kurdish People’s Protection Units, the largest component of the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) as part of the war on ISIS in cooperation with Baghdad.

In this context, a series of meetings were held that began with a high-level security meeting in Ankara on December 19, followed by mutual visits by foreign and defense ministers and intelligence and security officials of the two countries, as well as visits by Turkish officials to Erbil.

Turkey wants to launch a large-scale military operation to eliminate the presence of the “Kurdish workers” in northern Iraq in cooperation with Baghdad, which linked its participation in these efforts to cooperation in energy, water and transport files along with the development road project, which was welcomed by Ankara.
