Al-Gharabi said, “State treasury funds are not the property of any government, politician or party, but rather the property of the Iraqi people and the oil-producing provinces have the right to defend the rights of their people.
Therefore, any concessions or bargains over the rights of the central and southern governorates, especially the oil-producing provinces, is unacceptable and will not be. We allow it, and we will have a very strong position with everyone involved in the file of wasting the money of the Iraqi people to satisfy the region’s politicians or others. "
She added, "We are not against the interest of the Kurdish people, but the region’s politicians must be well aware that their theft of the region’s wealth and their attempt to circumvent the wealth of the south and center, as happened over the past years, is something that has become a thing of the past and will not be repeated this year under any pretext." The region’s politicians do not need to send a delegation to Baghdad, the matter is clear, and the understandings have been included in the budget.

Iraq .. Changes Are Imminent In The Military And Security Leadership
Political| 01:14 - 05/21/2021 Baghdad - Mawazine News, Iraqi officials said that the government is making changes to the level of military leaders in a number of security agencies, in a step considered to be aimed at avoiding a decline in the security file in a number of governorates, which are recording daily violence that has escalated recently, while the Iraqi parliament is preparing for accountability. A number of leaders gave reasons for this.
According to a member of the Parliamentary Security Committee, MP Abdel-Khaleq Al-Azzawi, "There are imminent changes in the security leadership of some governorates from multiple levels, especially since some of them have been in office for more than 4-5 years, and this long period conflicts with the work mechanisms of the security ministries, whether in the Ministry Defense, the interior, or the rest of the other formations. "
He added, "Changes in this period are necessary, especially since any change with the proximity of the elections is difficult and embarrassing at the same time, because it must give the leaders a period to explore the sectors, indicate strengths and weaknesses, and prepare plans to activate the security effort to push the situation to stability," noting that "Changes in the security system are positive, because they give more room for blood change, which prompts the renewal of patterns of field plans."
Last year, the Iraqi Prime Minister, Mustafa Al-Kazemi, made a series of security changes that affected a number of leaders, while political forces at the time criticized those changes, especially as they included leaders with known party affiliations.
For his part, an informed official confirmed that "Al-Kazemi asked to review and audit the files of the military leaders in the governorates that record a security retreat," indicating that "
The same official, who preferred not to be named, confirmed that "the changes will affect many of these leaderships, especially with negative indications in the files of a number of leaders, especially on the part of their party affiliations." So as not to have an impact on the upcoming elections. "
It is likely that the Kirkuk and Diyala regions will be on top of the changes that their security apparatus is experiencing.
The Iraqi parliament, in turn, seeks to question a number of security leaders, due to the security retreat in a number of governorates, and a member of the Parliamentary Security Committee, Pricean Al-Aajibi, said that his committee “held an emergency meeting a few days ago in light of the security breaches in the governorates of Diyala, Kirkuk and Salah al-Din, and discussed the reasons for the security retreat. In it, "indicating that" the security retreat needs a pause and deliberate steps to restore security control. "
He stressed that "the committee agreed to summon the commander of the joint operations, the commander of Salah al-Din operations, Diyala and Kirkuk to find out the reasons for the security retreat, and to discuss the strategies it plans to put in place," stressing the need to change the military plans, and to develop plans commensurate with the size of the risks and attacks carried out The organization, "referring to the terrorist organization" ISIS ".
This comes in light of successive military operations carried out by the Iraqi forces on several fronts, in the governorates of Kirkuk, Diyala, Salah al-Din and others, which record almost daily attacks on the remnants of the organization. https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=153935
