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 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.

Baxter I agree..
Baxter totally

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
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.
