Actech426: Okie's Health from Dr. Linda, in Chat Last Night
CURRENT STATUS OF OKIE OILMAN!!!! Okie went to his doctor yesterday and was informed that he needs a lung transplant. This is a sad moment in this long dinarland journey for all of us. He has been a true leader in this battle and a great gentleman. We are asking for prayers for Okie's health and for the miracle of funding to secure the lung transplant. He has been an inspiration to us all and now we need to support him with the miracle of God's hand to resolve his situation.
Elmerf123456: I personally have not been able to speak to Okie for quite some time now, he has been dealing with health issues and he just simply won’t answer his phone a lot of the times. I’m sure because of people that have persecuted him and posted his phone number in public and all that has add to his stress and the fact that he doesn’t want to talk to anyone is also part of the problem Making it hard to verify current situation.
The best thing I can say is he is a good man and I’m lifting him up in prayer hope that he gets healthy these RV happens soon.
I’ve heard other people are trying to do fundraisers, I just hope their intentions are true to really help him.
I cannot verify it at this particular time but I know Okie, and when I talked to him last month he had real problems with COPD and breathing so let’s just hope that he’s OK and let’s hope everything finishes soon so he can get his well deserved reward, to side with his health and especially for his time and effort in pain and suffering that he has been through verbally, mentally and physically during this entire process!

RVAlready: It seems incredible that 110 died, and 6000 were injured, and the RV still isn’t out the door. Kind begs the question - What does it actually take to get this released?
Carlosisan: Didn't Tony always say that a 3 day weekend was the best time for an rv?
RVAlready: At this point, I doubt that treasury will do anything over the 3 day government weekend. Best hope is they push the button on the way out the door this afternoon….. It does seem that Iraq is ready for early next week.

Don961: Iraqi parliament fails to vote on the reshuffle
- 6 Hours Have Passed
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq's parliament failed on Tuesday to vote on cabinet reshuffles by Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi, including a partial cabinet reshuffle that includes five portfolios.
At the beginning of the session, parliament voted on the candidates of the vacant ministries of education and health only, and differences between parliamentary blocs prevented the vote on the candidates of the ministries of industry, immigration and communications.
Al-Jazeera correspondent in Baghdad Samer Yusuf said that the Iraqi parliament held a full quorum authorizing him to vote on the completion of the government first, where he voted to accept the resignation of Health Minister Alaa Alwan, and then voted to accept the appointment of Suha Khalil, Minister of Education, a post that has been vacant since 24 October 2018.
He added that the quorum of the parliament after that disrupted, where there were severe differences between the political blocs on the reshuffle, and some blocs demanded the Prime Minister to explain the reason for the reshuffle, which he requested.
Earlier, Iraqi President Barham Saleh stressed the need for a fundamental reshuffle to improve the performance of the government to achieve a qualitative leap in its work, to provide services and employment of the unemployed and achieve social justice.
Saleh said in a statement to his office while receiving tribal elders and dignitaries that the demonstration is a right guaranteed to every citizen, provided that it is peaceful and without the bloodshed of citizens and security forces or overtaking public property.
He explained that the presidency will support compensation for those affected, and to hold accountable what he described as criminals and outlaws who shot demonstrators.
In the meantime, a political source revealed the ministries covered by the reshuffle scheduled for today.
The source said that the Prime Minister submitted to parliament today the names of five candidates in the reshuffle.
Abdul-Mahdi announced on Wednesday in a speech to the people his intention to reshuffle and submit candidates to the House of Representatives at its scheduled meeting today to vote on them.
The reshuffle comes as part of the government's measures to respond to the protesters' demands.
The Mahdi had announced yesterday mourning in the country starting today on the death of more than 110 people, the majority of the demonstrators who fell live bullets during their demand to overthrow the government.
In his speech to the people yesterday, Abdul Mahdi said that the government will ensure the treatment of the injured, which exceeded six thousand people as a result of the demonstrations.
He added that he had ordered the release of all those arrested on Khalifa's recent demonstrations except those with criminal cases, and in his speech he reminded the government of its commitment to carry out its recently announced reforms.
Since October 1, Iraq has witnessed demonstrations that appeared spontaneous and driven by social demands, but were directed at live bullets, and the Iraqi military leadership acknowledged the existence of "excessive use of force."
