butterfly Three options: Scenarios for forming the next Iraqi government after the October elections
10-25-2021 Three options - Scenarios for forming the next Iraqi government after the October electionsWith the announcement of the full preliminary results of the Iraqi elections on October 17, the controversy renewed over the conditions for determining the largest bloc capable of forming the next government, and whether it was Al-Sadr or Al-Maliki who would go to form the next government.
The Controversy Over The Largest Mass:
Controversy renewed after the parliamentary elections over the concept of the largest bloc in the Iraqi parliament, especially after al-Maliki announced his quest to form the largest bloc, which can be detailed as follows:
1- Forming the largest bloc in the government: Article 76 of the Iraqi constitution states: “The President of the Republic assigns the candidate of the most numerous parliamentary bloc to form the Council of Ministers within fifteen days from the date of the election of the President of the Republic.” In practice, the concept of the largest bloc adopted by the Iraqi Council of Representatives in various previous sessions is the bloc that is formed after the elections from several parliamentary coalitions.
2- Maintaining the cohesion of the parties: Article 45 of the new election law No. 9 of the year 2020, states that “no deputy, party or bloc registered within an open electoral winning list has the right to move to a coalition, party, bloc or other list until after The formation of the government immediately after the elections, without prejudice to the right of the open lists, or the individual lists registered before the elections, from the coalition with other lists after the elections.”
Butterfly This article means that a political party that won a certain number of seats is not entitled to be joined by other members representing other parties and blocs, that is, they change their party affiliation, or for two parties to merge together to form a new party, but it does not prevent parties and blocs from joining together to form a government coalition to lead the next government. This measure aims to maintain the cohesion of political parties and blocs, and to prevent the transfer of their members to other blocs, something that Iraq witnessed in the previous parliamentary elections.
This article apparently aimed to prevent a repetition of what happened in the 2010 elections when Nuri al-Maliki received 89 votes and Ayad Allawi 91 votes, but the transfer of deputies from one bloc to another was not prohibited at the time, and therefore a number of members moved to the owners, which made the numbers of his bloc More than 100 votes, more than the number of Allawi’s votes, which resulted in Maliki’s assignment to form the Iraqi government.
On the other hand, the interpretations of the Federal Supreme Court 2010 and 2014 confirm that the most numerous bloc is either the one that formed after the elections from one list, or that was formed from two or more lists, so the bloc became the most numerous in the first session after taking the oath.
3- Al-Maliki announced the formation of the largest bloc: On October 16, the State of Law bloc, led by al-Maliki, announced its adherence to forming the new government after it allied itself with other blocs and independent deputies to become the largest parliamentary bloc, and nominate al-Maliki for prime minister.
butterfly State of Law announced that it had held a strategic alliance with most of the blocs and lists that won the elections within a new entity called the “Coordination Framework”, which now includes about 93 deputies, and that the new alliance includes State of Law (34 seats), the Al-Fateh Alliance (17 seats), and Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq , and the rights bloc (loyal to the Iraqi Hezbollah Brigades), and other currents along with some independents.
It is clear that this announcement falls within the framework of waging psychological warfare against al-Sadr, especially with the “coordinating framework” announcing its rejection of the election results, and its threat to take to the streets, which means that it has practically lost hope of forming the next government.
On the other hand, the Sadrist movement (73 seats) and the Shiite forces opposed to Tehran, especially the extension movement (9 seats), and the independents allied with the Tishreen Revolution (11-30 seats) together constitute about 93-112 seats, which means that it is not possible in theory That the coordinating framework be able to accumulate the number of announced seats unless it allied itself with other blocs, outside the Shiite parties.
It was customary in previous Iraqi elections for the largest Shiite bloc to form the new government, meaning that the alliance is between Shiite power parties to form the largest bloc, and then it negotiates with the other Sunni and Kurdish blocs. And if this rule is preserved, al-Sadr will be able to form the next government, and al-Sadr could resort to blocking the path in front of al-Maliki, if he allied himself with one of the Sunni or Kurdish parties, specifically the Halbousi Party (37 seats) or Barzani (32 seats). , the two closest to him.
Government formation scenarios:
butterfly The options for forming the next government in Baghdad, and its reflection on Iranian influence, are as follows:
1- A trans-sectarian government: This scenario is represented in the formation of an alliance between the Sadrist Movement (73 seats), Al-Halbousi (37 seats), and the Kurdistan Alliance led by Masoud Barzani (32 seats), and the number of seats for this bloc will be about 142 seats, meaning that it is less than The number of seats needed to form a government, which is 165 seats, with only 23 seats.
These seats can be obtained through an alliance with the “Azm” alliance (12 seats), the “Kurdistan Patriotic Alliance” (16 seats), or either of them and some of the independents, whose number is estimated at about 40 independents.
There is no doubt that such a government will exclude Iran’s allies, as it will practically mean the formation of the first majority government in the history of Iraq, as previous governments after the American occupation of Iraq included all the political forces that succeeded in the elections.
Such a scenario will represent a setback for Tehran’s influence, not only by excluding its allies, but also because such a scenario means that the base, which Iran sought to establish by forming an Iraqi government by consensus first among the Shiite blocs, will be abolished this time.
butterfly On the third hand, such a government will be an indication that Iraqi nationalism will prevail over Iranian-backed sectarianism, which is all a painful blow to Tehran. Therefore, the threat of Iran’s militias to employ armed force can be seen as Tehran’s last option in the event that al-Sadr succeeds in forming such a government.
2- Tehran militia government: This scenario assumes that Nuri al-Maliki will lead the Shiite forces allied with Iran. seats), but this coalition, if it occurs, will only be able to gather 58 seats, which is much less than the simple majority that was able to form the government, which is 165 seats, which forces it to form alliances with other parties. Therefore, al-Maliki announced his attempt to mobilize more seats than al-Sadr’s (73 seats),
by allying with all Shiite forces and independents to steal the entitlement to form the government from al-Sadr, which is difficult to imagine given that most of the independents, according to preliminary estimates, are affiliated with the October Revolution. .
Al-Maliki may be heading for an alliance with non-Shiite blocs such as the Kurds to bypass Sadr’s seats, a very difficult scenario, but not impossible. The difficulty is represented in Al-Maliki’s history with the Kurds, as he had previously reneged on his promises to the Kurds, and had deliberately marginalized them, unlike the current Iraqi Prime Minister, Mustafa Al-Kazemi. Therefore, any promises made by Maliki to the Kurds will be viewed with suspicion.
There is no doubt that such a scenario will preserve Iranian influence in Iraq, but it will have repercussions on stability in Iraq, especially since most currents of the Iraqi people have expressed their rejection of the negative Iranian role and the political class associated with it.
Butterfly 3- An inclusive government: This scenario reproduces the same previous Iraqi governments, i.e. the participation of all the winning forces in the elections in the government. This scenario can be achieved in the event that al-Sadr and his opponents are unable to win the majority, as Tehran may turn to pressure the Kurds, or some of their parties, especially the Kurdistan National Alliance and some Sunni forces, in order to discourage them from joining al-Sadr’s government to thwart his efforts to form the next government, even in The case that he was officially assigned to form it.
Under this scenario, Sadr and Maliki will have no choice but to agree on the inclusion of all Shiite forces in the new government. Such a scenario helps save Iran’s face and gives it the ability to claim that it has not lost its influence. However, it will represent a setback for the efforts aimed at removing Iraq from the Iranian sphere of influence, even if temporarily.
In conclusion, all previous developments in Iraq reveal the decline in Tehran’s influence, but it will seek to try to accommodate this politically, by trying to steal the mandate of the next government from al-Sadr, or to form a comprehensive government, and if it fails, it will work to employ military force through its militias to impose Its influence in Iraq, which is a scenario with unsafe consequences, will increase the level of hatred for it in the Arab and Shiite streets. rawabetcenter.com
butterfly After the “Najaf” message, four names are on the al-Sadr table for the government settlement
2021-10-25 06:17 After the Najaf message four names are on the al-Sadr table for the government settlementShafaq News/ An informed political source revealed, on Monday, that the bloc rejecting the election results deliberated the names of three “settlement” candidates to present them to the rest of the blocs, including the Sadrist bloc.
The source, who attended the meeting of the blocs rejecting the election results last night, Sunday at the home of the leader of the State of Law coalition, Nuri al-Maliki, told Shafaq News Agency, “According to the current data, it is difficult for the Sadrist bloc to single out a candidate for prime minister without the support of the political parties participating in the next government.” .
He added, “Therefore, it will be searched for a compromise candidate, and this was discussed in the meeting of the parties rejecting the election results last night.”
And he indicated that “the meeting deliberated some of the settlement candidates, including Qassem al-Araji, Muhammad Shiaa al-Sudani, Abdul-Hussein Abtan, and Tariq Najm, provided that the names were also presented to Muqtada al-Sadr to express his position.”
The source concluded by saying, “After a letter of reference from Najaf that cut the way for all the heads of previous governments to return to the prime ministership, it has become necessary to choose a settlement candidate, and the matter does not intersect with the Sadrists’ orientations in naming a candidate for them whose loyalty is to Iraq only.”
butterfly The atmosphere of forming the next government is still shrouded in uncertainty, and its compass is faltering between the Sadrist bloc, which won the largest number of parliamentary seats, and the coordination framework that includes Shiite blocs rejecting the election results. Matters became more complicated after talking about a crack in the coordination framework due to the division of its parties between a supporter of restoring confidence. The former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki to form the next government, and others reject that.
A message from Najaf confused the Shiite blocs aspiring to the premiership, as the Najaf message included a decisive directive that put the blocs in embarrassment.
Najaf’s message included that “no party can form the next government alone, and it is not possible for those who were in power to return again under any circumstances, meaning that the road has been cut off for promoters or those seeking to restore confidence in the heads of previous governments,” according to a source who told Shafak Agency. News.
The source added; “The actors or parties controlling the political scene in Iraq are still holding the threads of the future scene’s movements, and any talk outside that context is not applicable on the ground, referring to the difficulty of the Sadrists forming the government without the approval of (America and Iran).”
butterfly Earlier today, the Sadrist movement, led by Muqtada al-Sadr, stressed that the latter does not seek to monopolize the political decision or power, as it adopts the principle of working according to the rule (partners of the nation).
Al-Sadr’s representative in Dhi Qar Governorate, Ibrahim Al-Jabri, told Shafaq News Agency, “Al-Sadr seeks to form an alliance to serve the country based on the principle or base (partners of the nation), and this denies what some are trying to promote, and also dispels the fears of some parties to the political process that fear the Sadr’s control of power.
Several political parties announced their fear of forming a Sadrist government for fear of al-Sadr’s direct intervention in its administration.
For his part, a source from Al-Hanana – Al-Sadr’s headquarters in Najaf – told Shafaq News Agency, “The political parties that reject the naming of the Sadrists, the government, are afraid to reconsider the previous and current corruption files and to refer those involved in those files to the judiciary and prosecute them.”
The source pointed out that this matter in itself “constitutes an obsession of concern to them, and from here comes the attempts to cancel the election results and manually recount and sort all electoral stations.” shafaq.com

butterfly Iraqi forces demand the president’s intervention to spare the country “more dangerous” scenarios
10-25-2021 Iraqi forces demand the presidents intervention to spare the country more dangerous scenariosOn Sunday, Iraqi political forces called on the President of the Republic, Barham Salih, to intervene to spare the country “more dangerous” scenarios, against the backdrop of the crisis in the results of the parliamentary elections that took place on October 10.
This came in a statement issued by the office of the leader of the “State of Law” coalition, Nuri al-Maliki, in the name of “the national forces objecting to the election results”, after a meeting held at the coalition’s office in the capital, Baghdad, without referring to the names of those forces or the participants in the meeting.
This is the first statement of its kind issued in the name of the “national forces objecting to the election results,” but the majority of Shiite forces oppose the preliminary results, with the exception of the “Sadr bloc,” which came first by obtaining 73 seats out of 329.
The statement said that “the attendees discussed the events and facts that prove the existence of a major defect in the announced results and the political and social tensions that led to it.”
He explained that “the gathered forces agreed to confirm their rejection of the announced results and their rejection of the commission’s selective method in dealing with legal challenges.”

The statement indicated that “the meeting called on the President of the Republic, Barham Salih, to intervene as a protector of the constitution to prevent events from heading towards something more dangerous.”
Butterfly Among the most prominent objectors to the election results is the “Al-Fateh” alliance, which is a political umbrella for influential Shiite factions linked to Iran, after losing many seats, in addition to the “state forces” coalition led by the leader of the wisdom movement Ammar al-Hakim and former Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi.
The Shiite forces objecting to the results had warned last week that proceeding with these results “threatens civil peace in the country,” which raised fears of the possibility of an outbreak of internal fighting in the country.
According to the preliminary results, the “Sadr bloc” affiliated with Shiite leader Muqtada al-Sadr came first with 73 seats out of 329, while the “Progress” bloc, led by the dissolved Parliament Speaker Muhammad al-Halbousi (Sunni), won 38 seats, and in third place came the bloc of State of Law, led by former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, won 34 seats. rawabetcenter.com

Posted, 2021-10-23 A resounding scandal .... an informed source - the appointment of Mustafa Al-Kazemi as director of the intelligence service at the time of Al-Abadi was through a forged documentAn informed source said Friday, that the appointment of Mustafa Abdul Latif Al-Mushat as director of the intelligence service during the time of former Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi was through a forged document.
The source explained in an interview with Buratha News Agency that a letter was sent from the office of the Director of US National Intelligence (ODNI) to the office of former Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi referring to the appointment of Mustafa Abdul Latif Mushtat as Director of Iraqi Intelligence. Forger
The source added that an Iraqi translator working with the US military, Wathiq Al-Ibrahimi, 34, passed this forged book using a pseudonym, William J. Peterson, where Al-Ibrahimi signed as head of the Middle East office for ODNI.
The source continued as saying that the FBI had discovered the matter and confirmed that this document, which was sent to the office of former Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, was a forgery.
The source said that Wathiq Al-Ibrahimi was arrested after committing the forgery and was tried and sentenced to two years in prison on charges of unauthorized use of an official body.
It is noteworthy that Wathiq Al-Ibrahimi worked as a translator for the US forces after the fall of the buried Saddam regime, then he immigrated to the United States of America in 2009, benefiting from the program to protect people who worked with US forces in Iraq and was sponsored by a US army officer who had served with him in Iraq
Brahimi then settled in Beaverton in 2012 and enrolled as an engineering student at Portland State University until the time of his arrest. burathanews.com
Butterfly This is a long one, so be prepared: ................ Limited consensus options about the Iraqi government… and names of candidates for its presidency
10-23-2021 Limited consensus options about the Iraqi government... and names of candidates for its presidencyAlthough there are no signs of rapprochement between the two poles of the current political conflict in Iraq over the position of prime minister, they are the “Sadr movement” led by the cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, and the forces allied to Iran, which recently organized themselves within what is known as the “coordinating framework” led by the former prime minister.
Nouri al-Maliki, however, all the current probabilities in Baghdad and Najaf speak of that neither of the two competing camps will be able to nominate the next prime minister without the approval and acceptance of the other party, which is what the Najaf authority, represented by Ali al-Sistani, is pushing towards.
This means that the most likely solution in the crisis is a consensual prime minister, similar to the scenario of the 2018 elections, which brought Adel Abdul-Mahdi to the premiership, and after him Mustafa Al-Kazemi, even with expectations that this crisis will continue until the end of this year.
Al-Maliki’s coalition is moving seriously to prevent the arrival of the Sadrist prime minister.
butterfly A source close to al-Sadr denied that there was any direct contact between the latter or members of the political body in the “Sadr movement” and the “Al-Fatah” and “State of Law” alliances, the two allies backed by Tehran, contrary to what was reported by Iraqi local reports.
The source said, in a telephone interview with Al-Araby Al-Jadeed from the city of Najaf, yesterday, Friday, that the leader of the “Wisdom Movement” Ammar Al-Hakim is currently seeking to “wet the atmosphere” between the two Shiite political camps, stressing that “this endeavor culminated in the cessation of tense statements in the media.”
Since last Monday evening, with the exception of al-Maliki’s alliance, it is moving seriously to prevent the arrival of a Sadrist prime minister or a candidate from the Sadrist movement and incite others in this direction.”
Iraq Arab reports The losers in the Iraqi elections review: tents in front of the Green Zone
The source spoke of a “veto” on Maliki’s return to the prime ministership by several parties inside and even outside Iraq, but at the same time he admitted that “the birth of the new government will not be far from the consensual framework.”
Among the four main Shiite political blocs currently (State of Law, Al-Fateh, the Sadrist Movement, and the Wisdom Movement), which is also supported by the Najaf authority, to ensure that the government is stable. But this does not mean giving up the right of the “Sadr movement” to “be the largest electoral bloc,” according to the source.
butterfly On the other hand, the political forces do not seem to have many options available regarding the personality of the next prime minister, which prompted one of the Iraqi politicians to borrow the Lebanese equation in this context, regarding the limited personalities that can achieve the minimum level of political consensus inside and outside Iraq. for the position of prime minister.
The forces tasked with choosing the prime minister, according to the political custom in Iraq based on sectarian quotas (after the US invasion), are counting on the fierce competition between Sunni and Kurdish political forces over the selection of a speaker of parliament and a president, meaning that the selection of the presidency and parliament precedes the selection of the prime minister.
In this context, several names to head the next government are heard in Baghdad, most notably the head of the Supreme Judicial Council, Faeq Zaidan (54), who has stable relations with various political forces in the country, in addition to Tehran, Washington and Riyadh.
The name of the current National Security Adviser, Qassem al-Araji, who recently played a major role in reaching a truce between the factions allied to Iran and the international coalition, is circulated, in addition to having good relations with the Sunni and Kurdish Arab powers, and assigning him foreign tasks, most notably the Iraqi mediation between Saudi Arabia and Iran.
The name of the leader of the “Dawa” party, Muhammad Shiaa al-Sudani, is also put forward, along with Jaafar al-Sadr, the Iraqi ambassador in London and cousin of Muqtada al-Sadr.
As for the inability to agree on a name for the prime minister, the name of Mustafa Al-Kazemi will be resubmitted to head the government, especially with external acceptance in this regard.
butterfly The Najaf Marjaiya supports an agreement between the main Shiite blocs to ensure that the government is stable
In this context, the Iraqi politician Ghaleb al-Shabandar told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed that “until now no names with political approval have been presented even within the same single bloc, and news in Iraq changes from hour to hour, and there are parties that deliberately fabricate false news and rumors, and information leaks.” The media is mistaken, but the leaks from within the political forces currently concerned with the matter consider Al-Kazemi a good option.” Shabandar added:
“To be honest, there are names that are being proposed, yes, but they remain weak, and Al-Kazemi has good fortunes and succeeded in making progress in several files, the most important of which is saving the army from the collapse that Adel Abdul Mahdi almost caused, and avoiding a bloody confrontation in crises.”
He concluded by saying that “there is another sensitive point, which is that any prime minister who comes from any bloc will represent a danger to the other blocs, meaning that he is biased towards his bloc at the expense of the remaining blocs, so the general atmosphere favors the prime minister being consensual, but from outside the Shiite blocs. current.”
butterfly For his part, the Iraqi politician Qusai Mahbouba saw that the secrets of the current negotiations in Baghdad confirm the withdrawal of Nuri al-Maliki’s name from the nomination for prime minister, and the submission of other names in his place, the most important of which are Muhammad Shia al-Sudani, and Basra Governor Asaad al-Eidani, in addition to the presence of other names calculated on al-Sadr, including Nassar al-Rubaie and Mustafa al-Kazemi, pointing out in a media statement that the “Al-Fateh” coalition led by Hadi al-Amiri agrees with everyone, provided that he is not removed from the government.
Commenting on this, the researcher in Iraqi political affairs, Talib Al-Ahmad, considered that the consensus between the two conflicting camps in Baghdad with regard to heading the government is an inevitable result.
Al-Ahmad explained, in an interview with Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, that the Sadrist movement has two options, the first is to take the entire government basket and form it by itself without others, which is a difficult matter, and the second option is to put forward a consensual name through the movement that is accepted by others, and this is likely in the The Iraqi scene now, regardless of the electoral results of the influential political forces, considering that the second option will also give al-Sadr a space to move in case this government fails, given that the prime minister is consensual and does not represent the “Sadr movement.”
butterfly Al-Ahmad believed that “consensus on Al-Kazemi is more possible than other names presented, without neglecting the existence of fears among some forces that Al-Kazemi will return to the presidency of the government for the next four years, with full powers and with internal and external support,” in reference to the forces allied to Iran opposing the Iraqi openness, which During Al-Kazemi’s government, he investigated the external environment and his policy of strengthening the state’s security institutions, specifically the army, against the influence of the armed factions.
Several names of prime ministers are frequent in Baghdad, most notably the head of the Supreme Judicial Council, Faeq Zaidan
In the meantime, civil and independent figures who won the last elections are continuing their movement to form a new coalition within parliament under the title of civilian, which will be the first of its kind since 2006, which witnessed the formation of the first elected parliament in the country. In this context, the leader of the civil “extension” movement, Alaa Al-Rikabi, held, during the past two days, a series of meetings in Najaf and Baghdad, before leaving for the city of Sulaymaniyah to meet with the leaders of the opposition Kurdish civil movement in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, in the north of the country, represented by the “New Generation” movement. , which managed to obtain 9 seats in the new Iraqi parliament.
Al-Rikabi said, in a brief statement to Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, that civilians are seeking “a real opposition in the next parliament,” adding that “opening the files of corruption and violations and holding those involved in them accountable will be our first work,” stressing that his coalition will not participate in any government based on quotas. sectarian and partisan.
butterfly According to a prominent member of the “Extension” movement, who spoke to “Al-Araby Al-Jadeed” on condition of anonymity, the current movement seeks to form a horizontal coalition of independents and civilians, with more than 40 seats in parliament, and this will include the Kurdish movement in the Kurdistan region, as well as independents in The regions of Baghdad, the north and the west, as is the case in southern Iraq.
The source added that what is common in this alliance is the scramble with the traditional religious parties in Baghdad and nationalism in the Kurdistan region and the creation of a new political equation, with civilians on the other side, and the goal being a citizenship state, revealing that the new alliance may be officially announced after the announcement of the ratification of the election results.
He expressed his hope “to attract new independent representatives, despite the fact that some parties that scored modest results in the elections are now offering huge sums to independent deputies in order to join them in an effort to increase the number of their bloc seats in parliament,” he said. rawabetcenter.com

Sheila good thoughts, good words, good actions
Sheila GO PLACIDLY amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful.

Officials say they have recovered at least 175 bags of money so far as workers clear rubble from the liberation of Mosul Workers clearing rubble from Iraq’s central bank building in the shattered city of Mosul have pulled bags of waterlogged banknotes from safes in the floor.
The grand building is still riddled with bullet marks, gaping holes and the walls are charred and blackened – a reminder of the gruelling ground battle to liberate the city from ISIS in 2017. Workers clearing the site removed sacks of banknotes rolled up in black plastic bags from a hole in the floor, an AFP correspondent said.
"After starting to fix the building and removing rubble, we were able to access the safes," said Hussein Al Zaidi, chief of the Mosul branch of the Iraqi central bank.
The banknotes were badly damaged after "the coffers were engulfed in groundwater due to an air strike" during the offensive to take Mosul from the militants.
"We discovered banknotes in bags, small bills," he said. So far, they have retrieved 175 bags, he said, without specifying the total value.
When ISIS militants overran Mosul in the summer of 2014, they seized several hundred million dollars, as well as gold bars from the Mosul branch of Iraq's central bank.
The country's second city, Mosul was the militant’s Iraqi "capital" of their self-proclaimed "caliphate".

UNEEK Perception Oct 6, 2021 by Craig Shapiro
There are so many factors that can hold a person back in this life. Many are circumstantial – a lack of connections, money, education, a stable home environment. These conditions are outside of our control, especially when we’re growing up. But one of the biggest setbacks a person can face is one that can be practiced: your own perception of what you’re capable of.
In my years of experience, I’ve found that the defining characteristic that sets the massively successful apart is simply the belief that they are capable of achieving what they want.
That’s it.
UNEEK If I could give a piece of advice to anyone starting out, in any field really, it would be to allow your imagination to expand to the belief that you are capable of achieving great things. And beyond capability, that you’re worthy.
It’s a hard line to toe, because there’s nothing more unattractive than overconfidence, especially when it’s unearned. But that’s not what I’m talking about here.
It’s not hubris – it’s chutzpah. It’s that scrappy mentality. That way of thinking that says, “well, if someone’s gonna do it, why shouldn’t it be me?” It’s that sense of purpose, of knowing that you can do more than what you’re already doing.
UNEEK When I was getting started I used to scale back before I’d even begun. I’d make a plan, then look it over, afraid that I’d overdone it.
Now, I challenge myself to do the opposite. I make a plan and then I ask myself:
“Are you thinking big enough?”

The following is an excerpt from the authors’ feature article in the October issue of West Point’s CTC Sentinel. To read the full article, download the PDF above or visit the CTC website.
Iran-backed militias have been scrambling to recover after the loss of their patriarchs Qassem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis. Attempts to preserve a top-down, Iran-directed system of command have met resistance, both from independent-minded upstarts like Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq and the fragmenting powerbases within Kata’ib Hezbollah.
To track these trends in detail and to an evidentiary level, the Militia Spotlight project was stood up at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy in February 2021. This article lays out the project’s first eight months of findings, drawn from an open-source intelligence effort that fuses intense scrutiny of militia messaging applications with in-depth interviews of relevant officials.
The key finding is that while the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds Force still runs Iran’s covert operations inside Iraq, they face growing difficulties in controlling local militant cells...

Thursday 21 October 2021 21:43 The World Bank expected, today, Thursday, that oil prices will not decline before 2023, while stressing that the rise may threaten global growth.
In its report, in which it presented its forecasts for commodity prices, the bank stated that crude prices are expected to record $70 per barrel at the end of the year, which is 70 percent higher compared to 2020, and this in turn causes a rise in the prices of other energy commodities such as natural gas, according to the report.
"The rise in energy prices poses significant risks to global inflation in the near term, and if it continues, it could affect growth in energy importing countries," said World Bank chief economist Ayhan Kose.
The rises were "more pronounced than expected, and policy choices have been complicated as countries recover from last year's global recession."
Oil prices have risen in recent weeks to more than $80 a barrel, reaching their highest levels in years, with economies reopening following lockdown measures to curb the epidemic and shipping bottlenecks.
The World Bank uses the average prices of Brent, West Texas Intermediate and Dubai, which it said will remain "at high levels in 2022, but will begin to decline in the second half of the year as supply constraints ease."
Average prices are expected to rise in 2022 to reach $74 before declining to $65 in 2023, according to the World Bank.
However, the report warns of “the possibility of an additional price hike in the near term, amid a severe drop in inventories and ongoing supply bottlenecks.” https://ninanews.com/Website/News/Details?key=934574

Butterfly British newspaper: The low turnout and the large number of appeals make the Iraqi elections meaningless
Posted, 2021-10-22 British newspaper - The low turnout and the large number of appeals make the Iraqi elections meaninglessA report by the British newspaper The National confirmed, Thursday, that Iraq is going through a constant state of change as the final approved results have not yet been announced, as many Iraqi parties continue to reject the results of the early parliamentary elections in the country, while the next few weeks will witness an increase in rumors about potential candidates For the position of Prime Minister and political parties that may join a coalition government.
The report stated that “the process of forming alliances and the race that is taking place from them and currently underway in Baghdad may take months, as happened after the previous elections, but the most worrying thing is the high number of appeals regarding fraud and tampering with ballot boxes. The longer the process lasts, the more harmful it is to potentially stable transmission.”
He added, “The appeals submitted regarding forgery and fraud will be sent by the Independent High Electoral Commission to the Judicial Committee, which will then consider it. Once the committee has decided on these appeals, the results will be sent to the Federal Supreme Court for ratification. When it is ratified, Iraqi President Barham Salih will have to convene Parliament, and at every step there will be problems affecting the results.”
He explained, “There are many important questions about the final counting of votes that raise doubts about the entire process. The process itself has been undermined by the fact that it has recorded the lowest voter turnout in any election since 2003. With only 41 percent of registered voters and 36 percent of all eligible voters casting ballots, it is clear that the electoral process does not have the legitimacy it claims Politicians”.

2021-10-22 Political analyst - What the international press has diagnosed is a setback for the commission and proof of great manipulationPolitical analyst Hazem Al-Bawi confirmed that the Electoral Commission now, after this wave of problems raised against it locally and even internationally, is in an unenviable position that it should have placed itself in from the beginning.
Al-Bawi told Al-Maalouma, “What was raised by the international press, most recently (The National), which considered that the Electoral Commission received this huge amount of appeals, is evidence of a major manipulation of the results, which undermines the credibility of the electoral process in international public opinion.”
He added, “This problem raised by the London newspaper came hours after the agency (Agency France Press) and others confirmed the existence of a series of criticisms regarding what happened that calls for a serious pause to preserve the credibility of the practice that was said to be democratic in Iraq.”
Al-Bawi was surprised that the commission fell into a contradiction in terms of the stations in which the votes were counted, when it stated two days before the results were announced that the manual counting and sorting completely matched the electronic one, after which it returned with hesitant procedures that undermined its first claim of announcing the results 24 hours after the elections. burathanews.com

UNEEK I did not write this but it really resonates with my heart and my feelings. I feel it is worth the read. Maybe it will resonate with you – and give you something to think about –
"Barely the day started and it's already six in the evening.
Barely arrived on Monday and it's already Friday... and the month is already over... and the year is almost over... and already 40, 50 or 60 years of our lives have passed... and we realize that we lost our parents, friends... and we realize it's too late to go back.
UNEEK So.. Let's try, despite everything, to enjoy the remaining time.
Let's keep looking for activities that we like. Let's put some color in our grey.
Let's smile at the little things in life that put balm in our hearts.
And despite everything, we must continue to enjoy with serenity this time we have left.
Let's try to eliminate the afters.. I'm doing it after. I'll say after. I'll think about it after.
We leave everything for later like ′′ after ′′ is ours. Because what we don't understand is that: Afterwards, the coffee gets cold. afterwards, priorities change. Afterwards, the charm is broken. Afterwards, health passes.
UNEEK Afterwards, the kids grow up. Afterwards parents get old. Afterwards, promises are forgotten. Afterwards, the day becomes the night. Afterwards, life ends. And then it's often too late. So.. Let's leave nothing for later.
Because still waiting to see later, we can lose the best moments, the best experiences, best friends, the best family. The day is today. The moment is now.
We are no longer at the age where we can afford to postpone what needs to be done right away."
It Looks Like An Eternity, But It's A Short Trip, Enjoy Life And Always Be Kind.
Sheila UNEEK amen
Sheila Excerpt: ""We passed the point of no return, and there’s no stopping this rollout from rolling out. How wonderful this rollout will actually be is another personal choice. Personally we can all choose Abundance in all Good Things, for One and all. The best of the best.

UNEEK This is for all of the wonderful pet lovers out there:
UNEEK Living with a very old dog means feeling your heart speeding up every time you see them a little more still than usual and approaching with the fear that they have stopped breathing.
Living with a very old dog means being aware that some of the things you'll do together may be the last.
Living with a very old dog means thinking ′′ this is their last summer ", ′′ this is their last July ", ′′ This could be the last morning".
Living with a very old dog means they bark at any noise at any time, not because they know what they are barking at, its they feel they need to bark and let us know.
Living with a very old dog means, you have to lift them up into the truck, the bed, the couch, the stairs.
Living with a very old dog means putting off commitments because it's important to be close to them.
Living with an old dog means we trip over them because they are so sound asleep they don't hear us approaching them.
Living with an old dog means accidents in the house, its ok they don't mean to do it.
Living with a very old dog means feeling guilty because you know you could have done more, giving them more runs, more travel, more hugs, more caresses, more everything.
I would like to say that living with a very old dog also puts us in the face of our own death, fragility, vulnerability.
Living with a very old dog means we got to experience life with a very old dog, which is one of the best joys on earth!

Al-Maliki served as prime minister for two consecutive terms between 2006 and 2014.
The candidates said in statements to Shafaq News Agency, on condition of anonymity, that “representatives of the state of law have intensified their visits to independent candidates to attract them within the state of law alliance with the aim of forming the largest bloc.”
They explained, “Al-Maliki’s representatives, during their sudden visits, presented us with proposals to enter into his list to form the largest bloc that will form the government.”
The new (independent) deputies, most of whom are from Baghdad, added that “the offers of the rule of law came against the background of the absence of an address or a unified political front around which the new independent deputies are organized, knowing that there is no type of communication between independents who won elections in all governorates.”
They pointed out that “some independents do not even know how to communicate with their counterparts in another governorate, and this constitutes a weakness that the large blocs may exploit to dictate their conditions for alliance with them, because the fact that the independents are dispersed in this way weakens them.”
butterfly The independent candidates explained that “the coalition formula proposed by the delegations of the state of law requires that we remain independent, but under the tent or umbrella of the rule of law, and this matter is vague and unclear,” wondering, “How can we stay under the umbrella of the state of law and at the same time independent?”
Regarding the formation of a front of more than 40 independent deputies, they stressed that “the matter does not go beyond the limits of media statements, there is nothing mentioned on the ground.”
The State of Law coalition came in third place with 34 seats, according to the preliminary results of the elections, after it won 26 seats in the previous elections in 2018.
The name of al-Maliki is being proposed among the circles close to him to occupy the prime minister’s office for a third term.
Al-Maliki, along with other Shiite leaders, will seek to form a broad coalition to overthrow the fortunes of the Sadrist bloc to head the next government after the latter came first with 73 seats.
Many blame al-Maliki for the emergence of ISIS and its occupation of a third of Iraq’s area between 2014 and 2017, in addition to singling out decisions and implementing “sectarian” policies during his tenure as prime minister, which makes his chances of returning to the position slim. shafaq.com

Al-Wataniya calling for manual counting - Al-Kazemi told Allawi that it was easy to penetrate the polling machinesShafaq News/ The National Coalition headed by Iyad Allawi demanded, on Wednesday, the commission to recount and manually sort the election results according to the parliament law, while noting that Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi informed Allawi of the ease of penetrating the voting machines.
The leader of the National Coalition, Kazem Al-Shammari, said in a press conference attended by Shafak News Agency correspondent, that “there are observations of the coalition, and by reviewing the results tapes, we noticed a repetition of the voting results and a difference in the closing times of stations. It was assumed that the stations close automatically in all polling stations at the specified time.” .
He added, “From the observations, electoral promotion was used inside the polling stations by some candidates, and in light of complaints submitted to the commission, we were not provided with the results of the special ballot.”
Al-Shammari continued, “The National Coalition demands the Electoral Commission to know the reason for the different closing times for stations and to conduct a process of interrupting full fingerprints and matching them with voter cards.
butterfly Al-Shammari called on the Electoral Commission to re-count and hand-sort all polling stations based on Article 38 of the House of Representatives Law for the year 2020.
The leader of the National Coalition explained that “by checking the lists of candidates and the votes they obtained in the elections, the same number of candidates’ votes were repeated in the number of stations, and this confirms that there are parties that have tampered with the election results.”
For her part, Sarah Allawi said during the conference, “After the 2018 elections, Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi spoke with Iyad Allawi, and told him that a technical person had hacked the voting machines in less than five minutes, and the National Coalition submitted a memorandum to the commission indicating a defect in the electronic devices.” . shafaq.com
butterfly LORDY LORDY GET ME AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE: ,.,.,.,.,. Iraq expects a jump in oil prices to $ 100 a barrel in 2022
10-20-2021 Iraq expects a jump in oil prices to 100 a barrel in 2022Iraqi Oil Minister Ihsan Abdul-Jabbar said today, Wednesday, that he expects oil prices to reach $100 per barrel in the first and second quarters of 2022, with global stocks falling to their lowest levels.
Abdul-Jabbar pointed out – at a conference of the ministry in Baghdad – that the oil industry is going through a state of recovery today, after the rise in oil prices currently to the level of 85 dollars per barrel.
The official spokesman for the Iraqi Ministry of Oil, Assem Jihad, said that the rise in oil prices in the global market is a good indicator to support Iraq’s federal budget for 2022.
Data showed that the Iraqi government is currently studying the development of a federal budget for the country for 2022, based on the price of $ 50 per barrel, a base price to support the federal budget and reduce deficit levels.
And the Bloomberg agency, which specializes in economics, quoted Marco Dunand, CEO of the commodity and energy trading company, Mercuria Energy Group, as predicting that the price of oil in global markets during the coming winter would reach $100 per barrel, adding that the most likely price range is between $80 and $90 a barrel. .
Dunand spoke at the Bloomberg New Energy Finance News Service conference in London on Monday.
butterfly Dunand considered that higher energy prices will raise the inflation rate, in light of the global economy recovering from the repercussions of the Corona virus pandemic, indicating the possibility that prices will continue to rise.
He added that it is difficult to imagine that the market’s psychology is not optimistic about the price hike during the winter.
Brent crude traded near $86 a barrel last Monday, the highest level in 3 years, supported by the significant increase in demand.
Russian forecasts
Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin predicted that the price of oil would reach $100 a barrel.
Putin said – at an economic conference in Moscow – last Wednesday, “This (the price of $ 100 a barrel) can be reached… We and our partners in OPEC + are doing everything in our power to achieve stability in the markets.”
