The Real Problem Versus The Fake Problem!

Published on: June 5, 2026: 03:59 PM   There are socialists in Iraq, but there is no socialism, nor has there ever been. Socialism in Iraq is a word, a slogan, an old political myth, like freedom, transparency, fighting corruption, and social justice.

Baghdad Today - Special Report   Iraq's public finances are under increasing pressure due to declining oil revenues and the continued near-total reliance on crude oil as the primary source of budget funding.
