He added: “As for the crowd, he says that the Iraqi army can face a country alone.”
He stated: “We want him (the Minister of Defense) to be brave and jealous and say these words to the army of the foreign country, which says that it will remain because the Iraqi army alone cannot confront ISIS, and not to his compatriots, the sons of the popular crowd who say that the Iraqis do not need a foreigner to help them defend their homeland. “.

butterfly Parliamentary Finance reveals the reason for the high exchange rate of the dollar in Iraq
Sunday 30 May 2021 | 01:08 PM Parliamentary Finance reveals the reason for the high exchange rate of the dollar in IraqOn Sunday (May 30, 2021) the Parliamentary Finance Committee revealed the reason for the high exchange rate of the dollar against the Iraqi dinar in banking .
Committee member Jamal Cougar said, “This increase is normal, because the Ministry of Finance sells dollars to the Central Bank of Iraq for (1450), and the Central Bank sells to (42) banks by adding (10) numbers, and these banks sell to local banks also with an addition of (10) ) Numbers, and then the circulation between the citizen and the local exchange, adding some numbers to them, and this is why we find that the increase is normal . ”
Cougar believed that “the great fear of a large increase in the exchange rates of the dollar against the Iraqi dinar is not true, and it is very unlikely, especially because there is control by the competent government agencies over the exchange rate in the Iraqi markets, and that is why there is no fear of any significant rise in the Dollar exchange rates . ”
It is noteworthy that the exchange rates of the dollar increased slightly during the past days, approaching 150 thousand dinars per 100 US dollars, despite the Iraqi Central Bank specifying 11450 dinars per dollar, or 145 thousand dinars per 100 dollars. aynaliraqnews.com

butterfly 2021-05-28 12:30 Shafaq News/ The WHO’s European director warned on Friday that the Covid-19 pandemic won’t be over until at least 70 percent of people are vaccinated, while deploring that the vaccine rollout in Europe is still “too slow.”
“The pandemic will be over once we reach 70 percent minimum coverage in vaccination,” the World Health Organization’s regional director for Europe Hans Kluge told AFP in an interview.
Kluge also said that one of his main worries was the increased contagiousness of new variants of the novel coronavirus.
“We know for example that the B.1617 (Indian variant) is more transmissible than the B.117 (British variant), which already was more transmissible than the previous strain,” Kluge said.
According to the Belgian doctor, speed is “of essence” in pandemic.
“Even when WHO declared a pandemic, many countries were still waiting, we lost valuable time.”
While the regional director, who has held the position since February 2020, lauded calls for solidarity he stressed that a speedy rollout of vaccines was of the utmost importance.
“Our best friend is speed, the time is working against us, the vaccination roll-out still goes too slow,” Kluge said.
“We need to accelerate; we need to enlarge the number of vaccines.”
In the 53 countries and territories that make up the WHO’s European region -- including several in Central Asia -- 26 percent of the population has received a first dose of a Covid-19 vaccine.
In the European Union, 36.6 percent of the population has received at least one dose, according to a count by AFP. Source: AFP

Butterfly Trade announces withholding the ration items from doctors, pharmacists and importers
Sunday 30, May 2021 19:37..........The Ministry of Trade announced, on Sunday, the date of withholding the ration card items from doctors, pharmacists and importers.
"The decision to withhold the ration card for some names and addresses has been determined by the Council of Ministers," the ministry’s spokesman, Muhammad Hanoun, said in a statement, announcing that it would start work on the first of next June.
He added, "The categories from which the ration card will be withheld are doctors, pharmacists and the Federation of Chambers of Commerce."

butterfly Iraqi activists worry about election security
Some parties that grew out of the October protests have withdrawn candidates from the upcoming parliamentary elections over security concerns.
butterfly May 30, 2021 Activists and youth groups that joined the political sphere in Iraq over the past few months have spoken of the risk of assassination they face because of their decision to run in the parliamentary elections scheduled for October 10 of this year.
The threats and assassinations have prompted them to back out of the elections. This, in turn, has pressured Iraq’s political leadership to acknowledge the presence of armed danger.
On May 20, Iraqi President Barham Salih stressed the need for a safe environment for early parliamentary elections and called for holding the killers of activists and journalists accountable.
Salih's remarks came after nearly 22 parties and grassroots movements withdrew and planned to boycott the elections, Al-Monitor learned. The parties and movements have yet to officially notify the electoral commission of their withdrawal.
Saeed Jassani, an activist from Wasit province south of Baghdad, announced his withdrawal from the elections due to threats he received and also because he was denied access to his area and the right to hang up campaign photos, he said.
Candidates felt an increased threat of assassination following the killing of Ehab al-Wazni, a prominent activist in Karbala province, on May 9. Some political blocs began to sense the danger of assassinations that could target independent or moderate candidates competing against financially and politically influential parties or armed groups in the near future.
butterfly On May 9, Iraqi cleric Ammar al-Hakim, head of the Iraqioun parliamentary bloc, called on members of his bloc “to summon security leaders so as to learn what steps they have taken to identify those involved in the kidnapping and assassination of activists and media professionals.”
Following Hakim's call, former Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi warned against “declining electoral security indicators,” in a clear reference to the withdrawal of candidates from parties and groups that were formed in the wake of the October protests.
Hussein al-Gharabi, founder of al-Beit al-Watani (National Home) Party, which was born out of the protests, said, “Prior to Wazani’s killing, we indicated that democratic elections should be held based on electoral justice and in a safe electoral atmosphere. We will not give legitimacy to a regime at a time when the government did not identify the killers of activists and protesters.”
Speaking to Al-Monitor, he said Wazani's assassination wass the moment they decided to boycott the entire political regime and not just the elections.
The electoral boycott is not only limited to parties that formed after the protests. Secular parties, such as the Iraqi Communist Party and the People's Party for Reform, and other legislative forces, such as the Iraqi Union for Labor and Rights and the al-Bina bloc, also are boycotting the vote.
Jassem al-Halfi, a top official of the Iraqi Communist Party, said “the assassination of activists and the spread of arms — which the official security services are unable to control — are in and of themselves an indication that there is no safe environment for the elections.”
butterfly Iraqi politicians said a number of candidates were threatened with assassination if they did not withdraw from the elections. These are mostly independents who decided to run in the elections either independently or on lists of parties that sprung from the protests.
Speaking to Al-Monitor, Abbas al-Anbori, head of the Rewaq Baghdad Center for Public Policy, did not deny that the parties that grew out of the protests were subjected to assassinations and pressure. However he believes the threat of assassination is not the reason behind the withdrawals.
He said, “The nature of the withdrawals were based on the new parties’ belief that the requirements are too many and that they cannot compete with the large parties that have a lot of money, more experience and popularity. That is why they decided to [withdraw].”
The withdrawal of secular forces — as well groups that grew out of the protests — means protests will be back in full swing in the coming period. These young people did not find hope in the constitutional and democratic mechanism — specifically via the ballot boxes.
These groups and activists will resume activity in the squares to impose themselves on the ground. They believe that none of their demands have been fulfilled. Even when it comes to the demand for holding early elections, the insecure and unstable environment does not allow for fair and just elections, they say.
Meanwhile, the Independent High Electoral Commission of Iraq — the body charged with overseeing the parliamentary vote — has rejected attempts by candidates to withdraw from the polls. In the commission’s view, parties that submitted candidacies are not entitled to withdraw them, in accordance with the electoral law of 2020.
butterfly On May 9, liberal parliament member Faig al-Sheakh tweeted, “Following the assassination of martyr Ehab al-Wazani, I withdraw from the parliamentary elections and call on the secular forces and the October revolutionaries to withdraw and get ready for the revolution against Iran and its dirty militias in the coming months. The only option we have is to overthrow the system of criminal killers.”
The al-Beit al-Iraqi (Iraqi Home) bloc took the same step of boycotting the elections after Wazani’s assassination. It also announced it would call on others to boycott as well.
Yet while the withdrawals will affect neither the elections’ legitimacy nor their recognition at the international level, they will widen the gap between the people and the political regime.
