UN votes to end Iraq political mission established after 2003 US-led invasion toppled Saddam Hussein

 UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The United Nations Security Council voted unanimously Friday to end the U.N. political mission in Iraq established in 2003 following the United States-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein to coordinate post-conflict humanitarian and reconstruction efforts, and to help restore a representative government in the country.

The Iraqi government asked the council  in a May 8 letter to wrap up the mission by the end of 2025 and that’s what the resolution does: It extends the mandate of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Iraq, known as UNAMI, for a final 19 months until Dec. 31, 2025 when all its work will cease.

The U.S.-sponsored resolution asks Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to prepare “a transition and liquidation plan” in consultation with the Iraqi government by Dec. 31, 2024, so UNAMI can start transferring its tasks and withdrawing staff and assets.

The council said it supports Iraq’s continuing stabilization efforts, including its ongoing fight against the Islamic State group and al-Qaida extremists and their affiliates.

In 2014, the Islamic State group declared a caliphate in large parts of Iraq and Syria and attracted tens of thousands of supporters from around the world. The extremists were defeated by a U.S.-led military coalition in Iraq in 2017 and in Syria in 2019, but its sleeper cells remain in both countries.

Iraq condemns US Congressman’s proposal a “serious precedent,” demands diplomatic action

 Shafaq News/ Acting Speaker of the Iraqi Parliament Mohsen Al-Mandalawi denounced recent reports from American media about US Congressman Mike Waltz's proposed amendment to a law that includes a clause concerning Iraq’s Supreme Judicial Council President, Faiq Zidan. Al-Mandalawi labeled the proposal a “serious precedent.”

In an official statement issued today, Al-Mandalawi called on Iraq’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs to take diplomatic action, conveying Iraq's unanimous rejection of such “insulting interventions” purportedly driven by foreign influence through a US congressman.

Al-Mandalawi emphasized Iraq’s sovereignty and the mutual respect that underpins its relationships with other nations. He warned that the proposed US law, if passed, could significantly impact bilateral relations between Iraq and the United States.

The acting speaker reaffirmed the Parliament's full support for the judiciary and its president, asserting that any affront to their authority is unacceptable. He stressed the Council's commitment to monitoring these “illegitimate actions” and taking all necessary measures to oppose them.

SUMMARY OF RV UPDATES BY MIKE BARA, 30 JUNE

 MIKE BARA

The situation as I understand it: This should have gone in April. That was Plan A. The USA stopped it. The window for Plan B opens tomorrow at "Sundown" and is a week long. There is no Plan C.

---

Word from a source just received:

 He got a call from a high banking source at a major bank in the south. “You’ve been bugging me about this for ten years. Well, congratulations buddy. Your dream is about to come true.”

 SOURCE: “What do you mean?” 

BANKER: “We just got a letter from headquarters informing us to get ready because ‘The Iraqi Dinar is revaluing extremely soon.’”

--

The "Bondholder" is once again certain he gets paid out on Tuesday, but he is returning to his city of origin tomorrow. He HAS to be in this location to get his payout. This means the payout COULD come sooner than Tuesday. More as I get it...

💢Mike Bara: High WF banking sources are telling people who hold currency not to bother taking any contracts for work longer than a week or two — no matter how much money is involved.

We are almost there, folks…

💢 Gezelle, Liberty Lounger Extraordinaire, offers clarification for those who might be a little confused 

➡️ They are advising not to take any contracts for work (self-employed people) for more than max 2 weeks.

6.21.24

  💢 Update from Mike Bara 6.15.24  

💢Mike: OK, I hate to be the Bara of bad tidings, but I just got info from "The Bondholder" — who is not a bond holder but a bond broker waiting to be paid commissions by the US government for bringing in historic bonds — to the effect that he won't be paid until Tuesday. 

We were hoping he'd been paid already. This would clear the way for Tier 4B, us, to be paid out.

 We were all hoping and waiting for some announcement or notifications this weekend.

 That can still happen, but IMO we don't get paid until after guys like him get paid. So we wait... and hope.

A parliamentary committee reveals the reasons for obstructing the legislation of the oil and gas law, 30 JUNE

  A parliamentary committee reveals the reasons for obstructing the legislation of the oil and gas law

Today, Saturday, member of the Oil, Gas and Natural Resources Committee, Kazem Al-Touki, revealed the reasons for obstructing the legislation of the oil and gas law, while stressing the difficulty of legislating the law.

Al-Touki told Al-Maalouma Agency, “The differences have negatively affected the legislation of the oil and gas law, which faces many political and technical obstacles.”

He added, “Legislating the oil and gas law is not an easy matter, especially after the decisions of the Federal Supreme Court to stop the region’s export of oil through the Turkish Ceyhan port.” 

He pointed out that "the legislation of the oil and gas law needs more dialogue and negotiation between Baghdad and Erbil, especially since the legislation of this law was part of the political agreement prior to the formation of the government.  link
