 Judy Note on writing Humanitarian Project Proposals

 After talking to Charlie Ward and others it is my understanding that there has been no official instructions given out on what to put into a Humanitarian Project proposal. DaveHRCLion and others have merely voiced their own opinion on how to do it.

• It is assumed you will need to write out a 1-2 page summary of what you hope to accomplish with your project including your goals, how many people you hope to employ, approximate cost, how many years you hope to run your project and a short summary of your background including what makes you qualified to run the project.

• You will need to sign a NDA. All Zim redemptions will be put on a long term payout. Have an idea about how many years you wish your payout to be.

• John F. Kennedy said that those with projects will receive their Zim redemption on their first two 100T Zim Bond notes at a 1:1. After this you will receive $25 million per 100T Zim Bond Notes you have, up to 30 Zim Bond Notes. To negotiate further, you will need to return and discuss it later with your Redemption Team.

💢Q & A - EAS & Lockdowns - what to expect.....BY GINGER, 15 AUGUST

 💢Q & A - EAS & Lockdowns - what to expect.....

💢Member: Q - So the question would be if this is true and certain,  will we even know about the “lockdown “ if we are NOT in one of the affected areas?  Because this was supposed to be the cover for traveling to the camping area?

💢 Piscees Girl nailed it - A - You may not know if your not in an effected area..

I do not and have not ever thought that there will be or needs to be a total lockdown for us to go camping..

It’s been explained that if you live in an area that needs more clean up (bigger cities or the border cities) there will be restrictions, curfews or some kind of lockdown in place. 

You will still be able to move about just with restrictions.. Just listen to the instructions from the military and you’ll be fine. 

I do not think this will be a big ordeal.

DINAR REVALUATION : World Bank's New Funding for Iraq: A Game Changer?

"THERE ARE NO US COMBAT FORCES CURRENTLY STATIONED IN IRAQ" BY DINAR REVALUATION, 15 AUGUST

Foreign Ministry: There are no US forces in Iraq, only advisers

Baghdad – Mil

The Iraqi Foreign Ministry confirmed on Thursday that there are no US forces in Iraq except for military advisers under the umbrella of the international coalition.

The ministry said in a statement to Mill that “there are no US forces in Iraq except for the military advisers who are under the umbrella of the international coalition,” pointing out that “these advisers are covered by the outputs of the work of the Supreme Military Committee.”

She added that “the two parties are committed to the mechanisms followed and their outputs,” noting that “the Supreme Military Committee has focused its work during the past months on assessing the threat of ISIS organization with the aim of reaching a deadline to end the military mission of Operation Inherent Resolve.”

“On this basis, the presence of the advisers of the international coalition with all their nationalities on the territory of Iraq will be ended,” she continued, noting that “these discussions included details that included the hierarchy of the withdrawal of advisers from the sites, and only agreement remained on the details and date of the announcement and some other logistical aspects.”

“We were very close to the announcement of this agreement, but due to recent developments the announcement of the end of the military mission of the international coalition in Iraq was postponed,” she continued, stressing that “the bilateral relationship with the United States in all areas, including the security relationship, is completely separate from the course of the relationship with the international coalition forces.”

She stressed that “this relationship exists before the coalition and will continue after it,” adding that “the Iraqi delegation discussed the future of the security relationship in the fields of training, weaponization, equipping and security cooperation, in light of what the Iraqi Constitution allows and the framework of the strategic agreement between Iraq and the United States.”

ANALYSIS

The Iraqi Foreign Ministry has confirmed that there are no US combat forces currently stationed in Iraq, only military advisers operating under the international coalition.

 The presence of these advisers is linked to the international coalition's mission, which is focused on assessing the threat from ISIS and determining the future of Operation Inherent Resolve.

 Discussions about ending the coalition’s military mission have been ongoing, but recent developments have delayed the announcement of the mission's conclusion.

The relationship between Iraq and the United States in terms of security cooperation, including training and equipment, continues independently of the international coalition's mission. This ongoing cooperation is governed by the strategic agreement between Iraq and the United States, as well as the Iraqi Constitution.
