Chattels   Iraq’s Allawi is committed to Kurdish share of federal budget: MP https://www.rudaw.net/english/middleeast/iraq/200220201

chattels   Kurdish parties currently hold three ministries in the federal government. According to members of the Kurdish delegation, Allawi is expected to return Kurdish ministers to these same posts.

However, given his desire to offer a clean slate, it is not clear whether the same Kurdish ministers will remain in office after Monday.

Patty   Allawi speaking to Iraq.

KRnMS   I hear Maliki is about to meet with the Kurds, maybe they will do Iraq a favor and put a bullet in his head

KRnMS   they surely know his Iranian affections

KRnMS   please join me in a prayer, Dear Lord in Heaven, please give Allawi strength and wisdom to outsmart the Iranians and unite his country in pursuit of freedom, democracy, peace, and reforms / reconstruction. Amen

KRnMS   good news they are closing borders to Iran to stop corona virus, can’t hurt

Patty    So at 5:10 AM I watched about 35 (probably more) satellites heading in spaced single file East over the Cascades. SpaceX had that satellite "string" go up last year, and I wondered? At least we had very clear skies

chattels   As Iraqis rally against corruption, ministries 'up for sale' https://www.rudaw.net/english/middleeast/iraq/21022020

chattels   .......... the judiciary is investigating allegations ministries are up for sale as politicians wrangle to form a new government.

These "sales and purchases," which insiders say have dogged Iraqi politics for years, are again a hot issue as prime minister-designate Mohammed Allawi seeks to build a cabinet acceptable to both protesters and the political class.

chattels   "The oil ministry is selling for 10 billion dinars (around 8.4 million dollars), who wants to buy?" Sayadi tweeted.

With unprecedented diligence, the judiciary swiftly launched investigations with al-Soumeidihi and urged authorities to lift Sayadi's parliamentary immunity so he too can be questioned.

Sayadi has since deleted his tweet.

chattels   Parties that "bought" a ministry at the end of 2018 expecting to lead it for four years are now reluctant to hand it over after less than 18 months.

chattels   This reluctance to relinquish posts, according to a senior government official, could make a dead letter of Allawi's pledge to form a government of independents.

"The parties could initially accept independent candidates," the politician told AFP.

"But then they will approach the minister in question and say that his ministry is a part of their share."

chattels   Despite signing contracts, the government has not built any major highways, hospitals, universities or bridges in years.

According to parliament figures, some $450 billion has evaporated from state coffers because of corruption, fake contracts and embezzlement since 2003.

chattels   Based on that, the protest movement has actually contributed to the development of a new national identity for all — an identity that has been absent in Iraq for decades.

chattels   Sinkhole containing 1,000 ISIS victims uncovered in Iraq’s Tal Afar https://www.rudaw.net/english/middleeast/iraq/190220201

chattels   We still don't know the full extent of the Islamic State's murderous campaign. Another 1000 bodies exhumed from a sinkhole in Iraq this week. So many bodies in there that its depth had drunk from 150 to 20m, according to a @Rudawkurdish reporter. https://twitter.com/leloveluck

chattels    130 meters depth of corpses.

chattels   The call for #Iraq's parliament to meet on Mon 24 Feb to vote on the new cabinet of Muhammad Allawi prompted lots of meetings between parties that worry they're not going to be well represented, including ex PM Maliki meeting with Kurdish politicians. Those meetings appear to have ended withe decisions being made by Sunni, Kurdish and Christian parties declining to support Allawi.

biff   BaxterHow can you expect quarters Faith that's what kept me in this investment. ;c-ball

chattels   For me, Faith is the believe in the eventual reality of that which is uncertain. I am not certain enough to declare any faith in the positive outcome of the dinar speculation, but I do hope. While I breathe, I hope.

kevin311312   I think that Muhammad Allawi must be all right if they all disapprove of him,thats all the corrupt that are crying.

chattels   kevin311312 You may be right about that.

chattels   kevin311312 Sometimes the measure of a man is the strength of his enemies.

kevin311312   they are all going to lose their seats

chattels   kevin311312 Unfortunately the nature of the political power structure in Iraq makes one man ineffective without support of Parliament.

chattels   kevin311312 If they ever have new elections.

Young_SC   AMAl-Khalidi assured: 220 deputies will vote to pass the A

Young_SC   https://www.ikhnews.com/index.php?page=article&id=209463

kevin311312   Isnt Mohammad Saleh supposed to take over ,if Allawi cant form a gov.

chattels   kevin311312 Technically / constitutionally, I believe so.

kevin311312   one way or another I think the sh-- is about to hit the fan

Young_SC   kevin311312 Allawi has already formed his gov

Young_SC   He just wants them to vote on it now

Young_SC   Mondays session

Young_SC   All independents

See this content in the original post

chattels   Young_SC Informative article. We shall see.

kevin311312   he formed it but it hasent been approved yet Young_SC

chattels   My understanding is that he has proposed three names for each ministry position.

Young_SC   kevin311312 no not yet that is what mondays session is for but Allawi has already had gurantees from 220 dupities to give him confidence

kevin311312   looks good so far Young_SC

Young_SC   He wanted them to review the candidates first before voting

larrykn   I see things are moving forward thats a good thing we hope

Young_SC   That is why Allawi delayed the process of voting    He wanted gurantees first

Young_SC   Allawi's cabin will gain majority confidence in Monday's session

Young_SC    https://www.alghadpress.com/view.php?cat=235284

kevin311312   the only gurantees in Iraq is sand in your sandals

chattels   It will be interesting to see whether the cabinet is complete. Neither of Allawi's predecessor's have been able to obtain approval on all 22 ministers.

chattels   Mahdi got 16 if memory serves.

chattels   Apparently there is a government if more than half of the ministers are voted confidence by parliament.

Young_SC   chattels indeed

Young_SC   If 70% of your cab is approved and given confidence then the gov is formed

chattels   Muhammad al-Khalidi is said to be close to Allawi, so maybe his info is correct.

Young_SC   chattels its getting to a point where they cannot delay this any longer. They need to approve their budget and address the citizens needs

Doug_W   they have a very strange constitution

Young_SC   Doug_W lolol

chattels   Young_SC I hear and I am sympathetic to your position. I have just seen too many dates or events come and go with some degree of urgency as to outcome, but there is only another crisis without relief or an event for us.

chattels   Have a fine day all.

kevin311312   Muhammad Ruhi al-Khalidi was born in 1864 in the Chain Gate quarter (Bab al-Silsila) in the Old City of Jerusalem. This is the traditional family seat right next to the Noble Sanctuary (al-Haram al-Sharif), the Chain Gate being one of the gates of that sanctuary.
