Tishwash:  The transitional government .. specific tasks and severe challenges

Iraqis say in their proverbs, "Every delay has goodness." Perhaps this example applies to our reality today. After a long delay, the President of the Republic succeeded in appointing Mr. Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi to form the transitional government, whose mission will not be easy at all, as there are significant and dangerous repercussions witnessed by the world.

The region and Iraq require a strong Iraqi government capable of taking important decisions that live up to the importance and seriousness of these challenges.

Today we are facing the dangerous encroachment of the new Corona pandemic, which killed the Chinese, after our agreement with them (oil for investment) came into effect! !

And this horrific epidemic needs measures at a high level to secure the borders from the possibility of penetration by the virus, which is terrifying, and on the mention of the oil agreement, it is also in need of rapid activation, away from the threats of "Corona" And his followers, especially after the spread of a rumor stating that the Americans are the ones making this virus, and sent it to China, as part of the economic war between them, and therefore, the Chinese will be rescued from this scourge, passing through the Washington Gate, as it is the only one capable of making the vaccine against it, and this

The story is very similar to the story of ISIS, and how the Americans created it in the region, after which they turned their countries into the largest market for American arms purchase, in addition to the fact that ISIS represents the greatest factor of distraction for the peoples of the region, in order to forget the Israeli presence in Palestine, by the last century deal of the century Announced by Trump last week, in A blatant provocation to the feelings of Arabs and Muslims, whom !! Trump did not pay any attention to, at least as a far-away friend, and not close ones

The challenges will not stop at “Corona”, ISIS, and the deal of the century. Rather, we have another challenge, which is the declared war between Tehran and Washington, which has taken from Iraq one of its battles, and the crisis resulting from this war in the country, as this war caused a rift.

Sharp in the political class, which almost led us to a dangerous slide, after we had a strong disagreement about the presence of foreign forces in Iraq, so whoever strongly advocated their evacuation, and strengthened this position, the House of Representatives decision, which was absent from its session, those who reject this evacuation, believing that The country’s conditions are still unfavorable to such a thing, as withdrawal may encourage ISIS to .!! emerge Li surface again

If we want to continue presenting and reviewing the challenges, the protest demonstrations that the Prime Minister-designate called to continue, until its demands are fulfilled and her fourth month has passed, during which the country witnessed severe clashes in all the joints, not to mention the fine blood that was asked for young people still in the age of roses They were martyred in the demonstration arenas, after they went out demanding to redraw the Iraqi reality in a different way, as well as those heroes from the sons of our security forces who fell martyrs while performing their role in protecting the protest arenas, due to riots and attacks that marred the demonstrations, as well as thousands of wounded and sucking Between men and demonstrators .. security,

This is the biggest and most serious challenge that calls for a clear plan milestones, we reach solutions that satisfy everyone As for the other challenge, it is the budget challenge, as it is the most famous year of the year that passes, and the country is still without a budget, which makes us before the fear of the return of the ghost of 2014, when everyone failed to pass the law, and we can imagine the economic and social .scene in the absence of the budget law, especially if it is We reached the fourth or fifth month of the year

 And let the matter stop this challenge, as the issue of holding early elections, which was the main demand of the demonstrators, should not be ignored, and this file is still going through difficult negotiations, which may cause abortion completely, and for this reason the transitional government is required to give this file exceptional attention, in order to exceed the fields The mines that surround it !!, ..

We also have another benefit, which is the conduct of the general census of the population at the end of this year, its implementation may face problems as a result of not approving the budget, and thorny the political field, there is no doubt that everyone knows and understands the importance of conducting it, after some time has passed 33 years, during .. which Iraq did not witness a census Ania comprehensive

And in light of the foregoing, and with all these great challenges, which the transitional government will not be able to fully address, but at least, if this government is able to complete its basic tasks, then it will establish the next government that will come through the polls with transparent and :impeccable elections,

Perhaps one of the most important tasks of the transitional government .Preparing and preparing for the early elections, after completing the required requirements for that and resolving all outstanding problems -

1 .Sign the budget law as soon as possible -

2 .Signing the implementation of the investment and development projects included in the annual plan -

3 .Ensuring the maintenance of security and order -

4 .Walking other country’s routine matters, according to the laws and regulations in force -

5 If the transitional government succeeds in fulfilling its aforementioned tasks, it will have created the appropriate conditions for the next government to launch on good ground, enabling it to implement its program, which should be supported by political blocs, the House of Representatives and .demonstration arenas    link

Don961:   International Monetary Fund: Arab Gulf states may find themselves bankrupt after 15 years

Baghdad today - follow up

A pessimistic report prepared by the International Monetary Fund saw that the Arab Gulf states may find their financial wealth drained after 15 years, if they do not intensify their financial reforms.

The International Monetary Fund attributed the pessimistic conclusion to "declining oil and gas revenues."

It is noteworthy that the oil production of the six Gulf Cooperation Council countries, represents more than one fifth of the global supply, with an estimated net financial wealth of $ 2 trillion.

The economies of the Gulf states were also severely affected by the decline in oil prices in 2014 and 2015.

In its report, the International Monetary Fund believes that although the drop in crude oil prices has put pressure on governments to obtain non-oil revenues, in addition to financial reforms, the "impact of lower oil and gas revenues has not been fully compensated."

In its report, the International Monetary Fund concluded that "in the current financial situation, the current financial wealth in the region can be drained over the next 15 years."

This Washington-based World Bank also felt that global oil demand could peak by 2040 or much earlier if there is a stronger regulatory push to protect the environment and energy efficiency.   link

Feb 8, 2020

Does anyone remember Iceland? The banks loaned money to themselves to buy back their own stock until the whole thing collapsed….then the country collapsed. Keep that in mind

In this episode of Keiser Report, Max and Stacy discuss the plunging commodity markets across the world and the limit down tumbles in many Chinese indices as the coronavirus fear grips Asia.

In the meantime, Trump delivers the state of the union amidst an ongoing market euphoria in which, for the first time ever, there are four companies worth over $1 trillion: Microsoft, Apple, Google and Amazon . . . aka MAGA.

In the second half, Max interviews Randy Voller, the former head of the North Carolina Democratic Party, to find out his thoughts on the Iowa fiasco in which no clear winner emerged but one big loser did: the Democratic Party leadership.

The mysterious company behind the app which caused the chaos has created a crisis in the party, and how will that be remedied before the New Hampshire primary next week?

Tune into hear what Randy Voller has to say on this.
