MilitiaMan:  In other words we are going to bring purchase power with a concerted effort into the region. All will be on the same page with regional trade exchanges. They are using terms like added value and easing costs.. All timed into a calendar. All interlinking at the same time.. imo.. A shoulder to shoulder on the matter.. lol ~ MM

29th July, 2022

The Iraqi Minister of Agriculture, Muhammad al-Khafaji, called on Friday to launch a common market and a unified agricultural calendar among the Arab countries in order to improve trade exchanges between them to fill the food shortage due to the crisis the world is witnessing.

This came during his meeting today with the President of the Lebanese Republic, Michel Aoun, on the sidelines of his participation in the Quartet Agricultural Meeting in Beirut, according to a statement issued by the Minister's office.

The statement stated that Al-Khafaji stressed the importance of concerted Arab efforts to confront food security and secure food and agricultural products for our peoples, calling for the need to launch the Arab Common Market to improve trade exchanges and address food shortages in order to achieve food integration.

The statement quoted the minister as saying, "Our ambition is to include the largest number of Arab countries in this alliance and to strengthen relations at the agricultural level," noting that "when we can reach a unified agricultural calendar between countries, an added value will be achieved for farmers, as well as consumers in terms of easing cost".  LINK

Samson:  Al-Tamimi Clarifies The Legality Of Holding The Parliament Session Outside The Capital

29th July, 2022

The legal expert, Ali Al-Tamimi, explained the extent of the possibility and legality of holding the parliament session in a place outside the capital and the building of the House of Representatives, pointing out that the parliament's internal system was clear in this matter.

Al-Tamimi told Al-Maalouma, "Article 21 of the parliament's internal system authorized the convening of the parliament session in another governorate, as it was stated in this article (parliament sessions are held in Baghdad and can be held in other places when necessary)."

He added that "the legal text in the internal system, when Baghdad specified a place for parliament sessions, allowed them to be held in another governorate, and the word places in it included all governorates, even the governorates of the Kurdistan region."

And he indicated that "the internal system is clear, and in sum, it allowed for the parliament session to be held, whether in Baghdad or in other provinces, when it was necessary to move in order to hold it in another place."    LINK

MilitiaMan:  Interesting stage they seem to be setting. Didn't Halbousi and Kahdimi meet in Ramadi the Capitol of Anbar Wednesday prior to Kahdimi getting back into the Dome same day? Saleh popped his head in with statement on "GREAT ENTITLMENTS" for the citizens? He sure did.

The four amigos all had something to say that day. Kahdimi, Sadr, Saleh and Halbousi were vocal and in support for peace and the citizens.. Now we watch for the dissolution imo anyway.. They have secured the green zone and even the Supreme Justice Council building..

 That is where the "Constitutional Entitlements" (Great)  are born.. Sure seems to be a HOT weekend for EVENTS to take place.. imo ~ MM

Samson:  Parliamentary Integrity: Billions are being stolen, and we have sent several corruption files to the commission

 The Parliamentary Integrity Committee revealed that it had sent several corruption files to the Integrity Commission in order to work on them.

A member of the committee, Alia Nassif, told {Euphrates News}, "The Parliamentary Integrity Committee works separately. There is a collective and individual work, and each deputy works alone."

And she added: "Despite the reluctance in the Parliamentary Committee due to political differences, the deputies send files to the Integrity Commission and we hope that it will interact with us, because the capabilities of the Commission are higher and greater than the capabilities of the representative, especially in the aspect of obtaining information."

And she continued: "We have sent many files regarding corruption files in the Ministry of Transport and Electricity, as well as interrogations of the corrupt, and there are billions being stolen from the country under pretexts and names."  LINK

MilitiaMan:   So many things that are flowing all at the same time. Imagine the dissolution of Parliament.. Who will be clean and with no immunity?.. We may be about ready to find out. lol ~ MM
