Tishwash: Iraq .. Closing down the Green Zone after a push from the popular crowd
Iraqi sources announced the closure of the Green Zone in Baghdad, after the spread of gunmen in the nearby streets after the arrest of a leader in the Popular Mobilization Militia.
An Iraqi security force carried out, at dawn on Wednesday, the arrest of the accused Qassem Mahmoud Karim Musleh, and an investigation is underway with him by a joint investigation committee into the criminal charges against him in accordance with the legal contexts.
It is noteworthy that the mother of activist Ihab Al-Wazni, who was assassinated on the ninth of this month in Karbala, accused Mosleh in more than one meeting of being involved in the assassination of her son, after he revealed, according to her, the corruption files in which Mosleh was involved.
On Wednesday, an Iraqi political source revealed that there is tension between the Popular Mobilization Authority and Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi, against the background of the arrest of the PMF leader.
After the arrest, gunmen from the Popular Mobilization Forces deployed inside the Green Zone near the Battlefield, before the militias withdrew.
Our correspondent quoted sources as saying that negotiations are taking place between the Popular Mobilization Forces and the Iraqi government for the release of the detained leader link

Hosackr: Let’s just talk some sense here. (Not that Iraq is often sensible) Currency value reflects the wealth of a country. Iraq is becoming more wealthy every day because of oil sales at an unforeseen high price per barrel. So I think the currency is in for a significant bump up. Maybe 1-1? Or back where it should be? Fingers crossed. It’s gonna be good news no matter what.

Frank26 There are many telltale signs that Iraq is going through a monetary reform. We told you on the 20th the governor of the CBI was going to come out and tell you 'look I competed a lot of things'...the CBI is trying to say, 'we're done'...What's competed? Every step required for the monetary reform. When you look at the fact that they're connected internationally. When you look at the amount of gold they have piled up. When you look at the contracts. When you look at...they had two meetings. One with 500 banks and another with 300 banks. Come on! ... Why is the CBI so important? Do you know of any other country in the Middle East who's currency is about to go up in value?
Petra ...All activities, all laws, everything have to be resolved by a certain date...there were a couple articles. 1. The citizens are very upset and they're taking it to the streets. They even reference the activities of October 2019 right after Allaq made the comment 'don't go crazy we're bringing out the new notes etc etc...we're bringing up the purchasing power.' Of course we know what happened in 2019. It was terrible. The citizens are getting to that point of anger again...IOO it's clear that there are things that need to be done and Saturday seems to be a key meeting that needs to occur.
