MilitiaMan: The EU has already done a currency swap if I recall that correctly Samson? The above meetings in the Desert will all likely have the saem DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION on the MIND..
The EU is not the only supporter for the implementation of announced reform program. All those at the meeting in the Davos in the Sand, the ME Investor Summit and the BUNA Platform all on the back and the same day they voted on the Cabinet and received support from the world with respect for security, stability and sovereignty.
So when the world reacts the way they did this week we now will see the results of the meetings and the vote. Iraq has the worlds attention and the citizens too know and expect their constitutional entitlements.. Looking good.. oh yeah... ~ MM

The leader of the Al-Fateh Alliance, Hadi Al-Amiri, stressed on Thursday that he would "diagnose" any failure by the new Prime Minister, Muhammad Shia Al-Sudani and his government, and "will not be complimenting at the expense of the Iraqi people."
Al-Amiri said in a statement received by Shafaq News Agency, after the parliament voted to grant confidence to the Sudanese, his government and his government program, "We congratulate our people for the emergence of the new national government, after a difficult labor marred by many factors of suffering, pain and frustration."
He added, "While we are very hopeful that the new government will succeed in implementing the vocabulary of its announced curriculum, we express our full readiness to extend a helping hand and help it to proceed on this path," adding, "We also declare that we will not hesitate for one moment to point out the sites of defects." We will not be complacent about that at the expense of our people’s interests and true aspirations.”
Al-Amiri stressed, "While we reaffirm the necessity to attach great importance to the service aspect in its various details, and to reconsider the financial, economic and administrative policies of the Iraqi government, we call on it to exert utmost diligence in finding job opportunities for the unemployed, focusing on the disadvantaged classes, and improving the service and living conditions of the most affected and deprived regions and groups."
Al-Amiri called for “restructuring the foreign relations of the Iraqi state based on the criterion of ensuring the legitimate interests of the Iraqi people, mutual respect for sovereignty, and non-interference in Iraqi affairs or taking Iraq as a starting point to threaten its neighbors. We also reaffirm Iraq’s right to contract under agreements or memoranda of understanding with eastern countries Whether it was a Western mother, in a way that guarantees his higher interests away from placing restrictions or attempts at blackmail.”
He stressed that "it is necessary to reiterate, on this occasion, the inevitability of exerting maximum efforts by the new government and adopting a firm policy to stop the state of financial and administrative corruption, return the looted funds, deter the corrupt, as well as restore the state's prestige and respect for its security services and government departments, and the rule of law over all without exception."
The Iraqi parliament held a session this evening, Thursday, during which it voted to grant confidence to the Prime Minister, Muhammad Shia Al-Sudani, and his government ministers, as well as the government curriculum that he presented in the session as a work program.
"Prestige is like honor in that it refers to the perception other countries have of a nation’s worth or value, and the respect it is due."

MilitiaMan: The US is not the only country that is looking for Iraq to have her prestige restored.. All the articles Samson has brought today support that the region and the world are supporting Iraq's reemergence to the Global Stage. She will need all the prestige she can muster.. Her assets have been well documented and are massive in totality. Her prestige should be a very welcome sight to behold.. imo ~ MM
