Samson: A deputy for Al-Fateh is expected to announce the Allawi government next weekend
12:52 - 08/02/2020
On Saturday, the deputy from the Alliance of Fathil Fadel Jaber revealed that his alliance informed the Prime Minister-designate, Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi, who left the freedom to choose his ministers without any conditions, while the Allawi government was likely to announce the end of next week.
Jaber said in a statement to "Information", that "the Al-Fateh Alliance with all its political components informed Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi, the freedom to choose his ministers without interference from his political forces, and he did not put any conditions for him, leaving him with freedom of choice, provided that the pillars of his cabinet are satisfactory to all, with the forefront of the demonstration square."
He added that "the events of Najaf and Nasiriyah during the past week and the rapid response of the security forces to the authority's request to control the protection of the demonstrations have made it easier for Prime Minister-designate Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi to accelerate the formation of the next government," expecting "the announcement of the new government at the end of next week."
The MP, Agn, the National Approach Bloc Hussein Al-Aqabi, had said in a previous statement to “Al-Maalouma”, that Al-Fateh Alliance and others would bear the full responsibility in the government of Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi, stating that the people do not need repeated slogans since 2003 until now.

Breitling ...People send me emails asking very specifically if Trump has any sway or anything like that on the Iraqi dinar? Not the Iraqi dinar. He has influence on the price of oil. And he has influence on Iraq's U.S. accounts. We can freeze those. The dinar itself they have control of...everything we look at and look for that's what's going on. They are reducing their note count. Oil prices are going down. They have an emergency budget put together because that exact cause and effect. So here we are...I've never had any fear about them adding value to the dinar. Not once...
Jeff ...Iraq's got a new PM...hopefully by the end of February he can get his cabinet formed...we are not waiting on the formation of that government. Sometimes people might tell you we are. We're not waiting on the formation of the government. They have their stability they need...Iraq's transitioning to a new fiscal year. They've already told us that the reforms are the large deficit within the budget - that's all post rate change. Everything is moving in the right direction. We're looking good. I have not changed my time-frame...Iraq is now walking in Kuwait's timing footsteps. It's that simple...we're waiting on one thing. We're waiting on the calendar [March 2020]...

Mot: An old, blind Marine wanders into an all-girl biker bar by mistake.
He finds his way to a bar stool and orders a shot of Jack Daniels.
After sitting there for a while, he yells to the bartender, 'Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?'
The bar immediately falls absolutely silent.
In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says,
'Before you tell that joke I think it is only fair, given that you are blind, that you should know five things:
1. The bartender is a blonde girl with a baseball bat.
2. The bouncer is a blonde girl.
3. I'm a 6-foot tall, 175-pound blonde woman with a black belt in karate.
4. The woman sitting next to me is blonde and a professional weight lifter.
5. The lady to your right is blonde and a professional wrestler.
Now, think about it seriously, do you still wanna tell that blonde joke?'
The blind Marine thinks for a second, shakes his head and mutters, 'No...not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times.'
