chattels So it looks like the political class' main initiative, launched at the Nov. 18 meeting at Hakim's residence - "the Jadriya Agreement" - has entirely dissolved into nothing? https://twitter.com/UticaRisk
chattels Changing 10 ministers might have been a significant move a few months ago. But I don't think there is any confidence left that Abd al-Mahdi can lead a true "technocrat" government.
