butterfly   Will the dollar exchange rate be changed? Maliki’s coalition responds

MONDAY, 11/01-2021,PM 12:52   Iraqi Dinar-DollarToday, Monday, the State of Law coalition confirmed the possibility of reducing the exchange rate of the dollar against the Iraqi dinar.

A member of the State of Law Coalition, Abdul-Hadi Al-Saadawi, said, “Increasing the price of the dollar against the dinar did not achieve its goal announced by the government, including creating job opportunities for the unemployed and providing housing units for citizens who do not have housing units and other matters related to reviving the economic situation in the country.”

He added, “Due to the high price of a barrel of oil, the exchange rate can be restored at a slightly higher rate than the previous one to settle at 125,000 dinars per $100,” noting that “this level will create a balance between the old price and the new price, as it will not affect the economy of the poor classes.” and fragile,” according to Baghdad Today.

Al-Saadawi pointed out that “the decision to raise the price of the dollar was a political and not an economic one,” noting that “reducing the price of the dollar needs a parliament that is serious in this matter and works to give priority to the national interest.”

It is noteworthy that the Iraqi government reduced the value of the Iraqi dinar against the US dollar in the Federal Budget Law for the year 2021, where the dollar exchange rate reached 1450 dinars to the dollar after its price was 1200 dinars to the dollar.   non14.net

Butterfly   Al-Sadr calls for a “national majority” government in Iraq

11-1-2021   Al-Sadr calls for a national majority government in IraqBAGHDAD – The leader of the Sadrist movement in Iraq, Muqtada al-Sadr, whose bloc led the results of the parliamentary elections with 73 seats, called for the formation of a “national majority” government to achieve reform in the country.

Al-Sadr’s call comes in light of the continuing crisis of the election results in Iraq, for more than two weeks, as the forces allied to Iran reject the announced results and consider them fraudulent and manipulated, at a time when the Electoral Commission turned to manual counting of votes in more than 10,000 electoral stations. , out of about 55 thousand polling stations, as part of its efforts to ensure the integrity of its procedures regarding the counting of votes.

Al-Sadr said in a tweet to him on his personal account on Twitter on Sunday evening, “It should not be said that I have a disagreement with the political blocs, except the issue of internal and external reform, and the issue of the difference between patriotism and subordination,” stressing, “We have no disagreement except with the love of the country, and I see that the first What should be done for the country is a national majority government.”

Al-Sadr stressed the need for Parliament to have “two parties, the first being loyalists, which form the government and undertake reforms at all levels.”

As for the second party, according to Al-Sadr, it is “the opposition, and their agreement is a binding consultation for the former without marginalization,” adding, “We do not mind being on either side, both for the sake of serving the country, and that is one of the foundations of democracy.”

The losing forces in the elections threatened to resort to the religious reference, if they did not obtain satisfactory results through manual counting and sorting, which was repeated in a number of electoral stations.

butterfly   A member of the National Contract Alliance, led by the head of the Popular Mobilization Authority, Faleh Fayyad, Aqil Al-Qargoli, said that “in the event that the Electoral Commission and the Federal Court do not respond to our demands, we will press for direct intervention of the reference.”

Al-Qargoli confirmed in a press statement that “there are meetings taking place to go towards the reference.”

Observers say that al-Sadr can obtain a fatwa from the supreme Shiite authority in Iraq, Ali al-Sistani, that withdraws the cover from the crowd, especially since the factions loyal to the reference refuse to consider themselves part of it.

This parallels the aspirations of the Najaf marja’iya to reduce ties with Iran and respect the sovereignty of the Iraqi state.

Observers said that al-Sadr is putting pressure on the pro-Iranian parties that are still threatening to compete with him to form the largest bloc that would be authorized to form the new Iraqi government. By doing so, the Sadrist movement is trying to appear as a “national” force that is far from Iran’s interference.

Al-Sadr had earlier threatened to take strict steps to stop the apparent interference in Iraq’s affairs, stressing that a high-level dialogue would be opened with neighboring countries that interfere in Iraqi political, security and other affairs to prevent interference at all.

The results of the early legislative elections resulted in a few months ahead of schedule for the Sadrist movement with 73 seats, while the Taqaddam bloc led by the outgoing Speaker of Parliament, Muhammad al-Halbousi, came in second place with 38 seats, followed by the State of Law coalition led by former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki with 34 seats, then Kurdistan Democratic Party with 33 seats.

butterfly   The Al-Fateh Alliance, the political umbrella for the Shiite militias loyal to Iran, suffered a severe defeat, as it won 17 seats after it came second in the 2018 elections with 48 seats.

The coalition led by the leader of the Badr Organization, Hadi al-Amiri, did not accept defeat, as did many other Shiite forces, and sought to overthrow this reality by waving the street and verbally escalating, accusing in all directions of widespread fraud in the elections.

Political circles are likely that Tehran played a role at this level, especially since it was not satisfied with the state of confusion and confusion that appeared on the leaders of the coalition loyal to it after the announcement of the election results.

Following the announcement of the preliminary results, the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq “UNAMI” and its head, Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, received widespread criticism and threats from parties and parties that suffered unexpected defeats, through protests organized in the country, and through campaigns of activists affiliated with it on social media.

The opponents of the results have been organizing a sit-in for nearly two weeks at one of the entrances to the Green Zone, demanding that the ballot boxes be recounted.   rawabetcenter.com

NORV   Still sitting here look for a RV? lol. Despite the daily BS, there is no RV! Wasting your time. Sheila needs to wake up.

NORV    :Pizza: :Float: :Float: :Float:

NORV  Latest numbers from Iraqi economist, dinar well over 100 trillion now.

NORV  As if 80 trillion wasn't enough.

NORV  Foolish to think Iraq could afford to increase the value of the dinar significantly.

NORV Enjoy ur day! Wine:

wdave1 I see Kap has no doubts now, it couldnt have taken me more than a minute to tell my friend of over 50 years that there was no way as he was telling me about Kuwait and Germany after World war two. Doesnt take a brain child to figure this out! Folks youve been Scammed! Accept it and tell everyone you brought along for the ride.. Sell now if you can

NORV   I don't see any way how Iraq could significantly RV the dinar. That being said, I do think they could gradually raise it over time (as stated by the IMF in 2013) via a float if they build a diverse economy. It is the only way I see for them to reduce the money supply and counter inflation created by economic investment. This will take years to achieve.

NORV  If they fail to build that economy, they will continue dependence on oil and the only option may be to re-denomination LOP the zeros off the notes (delete 3 zeros) which is a neutral event. Doing so would allow them to reduce the money supply from trillions to billions and begin to raise it from there.

NORV   One thing is for sure...there is no overnight RV. That talk is all bullsh*t and nonsense.

NORV   :Float: :Float: :Float:

RodTahoe  NORV serious question, why has the amount of dinars continued to increase>

RodTahoe   that is in circulation...

butterfly   The government's financial advisor to / Nina /: a large stagnation of monetary inflation will hit the economy of Iraq / Expanded

Monday 01 November 2021 The government's financial advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, warned against entering the Iraqi economy into a phase of hyperinflation as a result of the challenges facing the country's monetary policy.

Muhammad Salih said in a statement to the National Iraqi News Agency / NINA /: Monetary policy in Iraq during the years 2020-2021 faced challenges and opportunities that raised two main contradictions in achieving the goals of macroeconomic stability. It was preceded by a price deflation, “and the second: the return of oil prices to improvement within the cycle of oil assets, from an average annual price of $38 a barrel to an annual average of $70, upwards in 2021 compared to 2020.”

He pointed out that "the contradiction here is the rise in foreign reserves by 23%, with inflation creeping in, lest it approach 10%, with unemployment levels stabilizing slightly and slowly, at less than 23%, especially among the young labor force, to leave us with little economic growth that does not exceed (positive 1%) in the gross domestic product, which means that the country has moved to the stage of (inflationary stagnation), especially after decreasing the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar at once less than a year ago, which was proportional to the decline in foreign reserves of the Central Bank of Iraq.

butterfly   He added: If unemployment, inflation and growth continue with this highly contradictory trilogy, monetary policy may take an opposite intervention path with an effective stability policy in which it will undertake to combat inflationary expectations through the use of the nominal stabilizer for the exchange rate and towards improving the purchasing power of the Iraqi dinar and facing potentially positive transitional inflation due to inflationary activity The global demand for energy and its effects that are being stimulated by the transition of the global energy demand function with the opening of the global economy from its isolation gradually. https://ninanews.com/Website/News/Details?key=936525

A video grab shows 12-year-old girl in bridal attire.

A video clip of the marriage of an Iraqi girl, 12, spread on the social media platforms and received mixed reactions between opponents and supporters.

The girl's mother, who is separated from her husband, appealed through a video clip, to the people and the authorities to save her daughter, but the Iraqi Ministry of Interior said that "Sharia and the law allows the marriage of a minor by proxy of her father."

The girl's mother, affirmed that her minor daughter's marriage took place through a "customary and illegal contract." This stirred anger of activists who organised a campaign to pressure the authorities, which pushed the community police in the Relations and Information Department of the Iraqi Ministry of Interior, to follow up the case.

The community police issued a statement on Facebook which sparked widespread controversy and made matters worse.

The statement stated: "The Director of the Community Police, Brigadier General Ghalib Al Attiyah, formed a working team to find out the truth of what was in the video, and the team met the girl, her father, her husband and her brother and the girl affirmed that the marriage took place with her consent, and that no one forced her to do it. Also, the team was briefed on the legal contract under which the girl's marriage took place.”

The statement of the Iraqi Community Police angered activists and Iraqi civil forces, who called on the authorities to fight the underage marriage phenomenon, as well as domestic violence, which is increasing at an escalating rate. https://www.gulftoday.ae/news/2021/10/31/marriage-of-12-year-old-iraqi-girl-sparks-outrage-mother-worried

2021-10-31  Barzanis party - It is difficult to pass the Prime Minister of Sadr Qah and Saleh will not return as presidentOn Sunday, a member of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Bashir al-Haddad, expected the two Kurdish Democratic and Patriotic Union parties to agree on an alternative candidate for the President of the Republic, Barham Salih, while he ruled out the passing of Prime Minister Sadri Qah.

Al-Haddad said in a televised statement that “based on the principle of the experimenter does not try, new personalities will be re-assigned to presidential and ministerial positions in most cases.”

Al-Haddad, a former deputy speaker of parliament, added, “The two Kurdish parties will agree to nominate an alternative candidate to take over the presidency in place of Barham Salih with 80%, and I do not think he will be re-elected again.”

He explained, “The scenarios for forming the government will be as follows, the first of which is that a Sadrist prime minister is chosen, which is somewhat unlikely, and the second is choosing a Sadrist prime minister in accordance with the coordination framework or assigning a personality outside the framework and the Sadrist bloc at the time. It is possible to re-present Al-Kazemi as a personality independent of both parties.

butterfly   A government comment on the change in the dollar exchange rate after the rise in oil

SUNDAY, 10/31-2021,PM 3:48   US Dollar-Iraqi DinarMazhar Muhammad Salih, the financial and economic advisor to Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi, commented today, Sunday, on the possibility of changing the dollar exchange rate against the Iraqi dinar, after the rise in oil prices.

If these factors are available, the issue of changing the exchange rate of the dollar against the Iraqi dinar can be studied.”

It is noteworthy that the Iraqi government reduced the value of the Iraqi dinar against the US dollar in the Federal Budget Law for the year 2021, as the exchange rate of the dollar reached 1450 dinars to the dollar, after its price was 1200 dinars to the dollar.  non14.net

The head of the Civil National Front, Iyad Allawi, stressed, on Thursday, the importance of going to general reconciliation, to avoid a repetition of the current scenarios in Libya, Yemen and Afghanistan.

Allawi said in a statement that “Nass” received a copy of it (October 31, 2021), “Tensions are escalating, and the drums of war are beating, to increase confrontations and fears for the peoples of our region and its neighborhood, Lebanon and Syria are on the palm of the imp, and that is Libya and Yemen, and its crushing and destructive war for the people of Yemen.”

In the east, America was defeated and the Taliban won, and the reason for this is the refusal of the Afghan government allied with America to adopt national reconciliation in Afghanistan, in addition to that, there are problems between Armenia and Azerbaijan and an escalation in the confrontation, which prompted both Iran and Turkey to intervene in this conflict, and the confrontation between Azerbaijan and Iran are escalating and a clash is imminent.”

He added, “Where an important leader told me years ago that a strike would be directed at Iran from the east, and there are trainings on that, and it seems that the issue is being repeated now that Azerbaijan has threatened Iran with force. There is also a Turkish expansion, perhaps for self-defense in Syria and Iraq, and tensions between Turkey on the one hand, Greece and Cyprus, as well as Israel is preparing the task to confront Iran in the event of the failure of nuclear negotiations with America and its allies, and the mutual military maneuvers filled the seas of the world in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, the Black Sea, the Arabian Gulf, the Mediterranean and the Red Sea.

butterfly   He continued, “All these tensions reflect negatively on the countries of the region, and determine their fates in the event of fighting to resolve matters in favor of this side or that, but certainly all will lose, and the disadvantages and threats will increase.”

He pointed out that “the Civil National Front (Mouj) demands that everyone exercise the utmost restraint and engage in direct dialogue through a regional conference, one of whose main tasks is to restore the permanent, comprehensive and just peace process on the basis of the two-state solution, with East Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine.”

Allawi also stressed that this conference should put in place clear mechanisms aimed at reducing tension to the maximum degree, by taking the following measures:

1- Armaments reduction.

2- Full support for the Organization of Islamic Cooperation by selecting countries called the Group of the Wise to carry out efforts to reduce tension, such as Malaysia, Jordan, Morocco and Indonesia.

3- Establishing and assigning an international tribunal to consider appeals between countries that suffer from tension in their relations, in cooperation with the UN Security Council.

4- Laying out a map to prevent states from interfering in the affairs of other states, and preparing non-aggression treaties.

5- Strengthening economic and trade relations between countries.

6- Stemming from the strife before it escalates, and from the principle of prevention is better than cure, we direct our appeal to the G20 summit in Italy, to the General Secretariat of the League of Arab States, and to the UN Security Council, to carry out the tasks set by the United Nations system for fear of repercussions of what might happen God forbid.    nasnews.com

Doug_W  A Kentucky State trooper pulled a car over on I-75 about 8 miles south of Richmond, Kentucky. When the trooper asked the driver why he was speeding, the driver said he was a Magician and Juggler and was on his way to Lexington to do a show for the Childrens Hospital. He didn't want to be late.

The trooper told the driver he was fascinated by juggling and said if the driver would do a little juggling for him then he wouldn't give him a ticket. He told the trooper he had sent his equipment ahead and didn't have anything to juggle.

The trooper said he had some flares in the trunk and asked if he could juggle them. The juggler said he could, so the trooper got 5 flares, lit them and handed them to him.

While the man was juggling, a car pulled in behind the State Troopers car. A drunken good old boy from London got out, watched the performance, then went over to the Trooper's car, opened the rear door and got in. The trooper observed him and went over to his car, opened the door asking the drunk what he thought he was doing.

The drunk replied, “You might as well take me to jail, cause there ain't no way I can pass that test.”

Previous information had talked about the formation of a delegation representing the coordination framework to meet with the negotiating committee of the Sadrist movement headed by Hassan Al-Adhari.

The information indicates that “the delegation’s meeting with the committee will take place during the next week to calm the situation and resolve the issue of forming a government.”

According to that information, “the head of the State of Law coalition, Nuri al-Maliki, or his representative, will not be in the delegation participating in the meeting with the Sadr Committee, given that the Sadrists refuse to dialogue with al-Maliki or their representatives, whether about the current situation or forming the next government.”

It is noteworthy that the coordinating framework includes: the Al-Fateh Alliance led by Hadi al-Amiri, the State of Law coalition headed by Nuri al-Maliki, and the State Forces Alliance consisting of Ammar al-Hakim and Haider al-Abadi, as well as other Shiite forces that lost in the elections.

The leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, announced in mid-October his special committee to negotiate with political parties that would establish parliamentary alliances in preparation for the formation of the new federal government in Iraq.

butterfly   The committee is composed of: Hassan Al-Adhari as its chairman, Nassar Al-Rubaie as first vice-chairman, Nabil Al-Tarifi as second deputy, and Hakim Al-Zamili as supporting the committee, according to a statement issued by Al-Sadr and signed by him.

The results of the recent legislative elections in Iraq showed that the Sadrist movement had won a landslide victory with more than 70 parliamentary seats, which qualifies it to obtain the position of Prime Minister and form the next federal government.

The Sunnis hold the presidency of the Iraqi parliament according to a political custom followed since the overthrow of the former Iraqi regime in 2003, while the Kurds hold the presidency, and the Shiites the prime minister.

The preacher of the Kufa mosque, Muhannad al-Moussawi, said earlier today that the goal of appointing a prime minister from the Sadrist movement to the next federal government is to achieve the reform project adopted by the movement’s leader Muqtada al-Sadr.

Al-Moussawi said in the Friday prayer sermon, which was held in the Kufa Mosque, that “today we are called more than before to translate the real and systematic affiliation to deliver a practical message to all in which reassurance, love and tolerance for the advancement of reality and the country.”

He added, “We are officially adopting the reform project that Al-Sadr worked on, and the Sadrist prime ministership, to translate to others the value of the approach to which we belong, with its values, ideals, and a real project for reform.”   shafaq.com

2021.10.29 – 13:03  Tariq Harb identifies the only legal scenario to cancel the October elections Baghdad – people  

On Friday, legal expert, Tariq Harb, presented the legal scenario in which the elections could be cancelled.

In a clarification that Nass received, a copy of it (October 29, 2021), Harb said that “cancelling the elections that have reached their final stages, canceling the electoral results, or canceling the counting and sorting processes requires the presence of a parliament, and since the previous parliament has finished its role, it is necessary to wait.” That the new House of Representatives hold its sessions, as the electoral process must be completed, the final results announced, and the final results approved by the Supreme Court.

Harb added that the scenario of canceling the elections “must be decided by a legislative authority, that is, the new parliament and not any other authority, whether the presidency, the prime minister or the judiciary. The Complaints Board of Commissioners begins the appeals period, i.e. the discrimination of the commission’s decisions before the Judicial Committee for Elections, whose ruling is final and final, after which the final results are presented to the Supreme Court for approval of the electoral results.

butterfly   And the legal expert continued, “After the approval of the Supreme Court, a republican decree is issued to invite the winners of the elections to hold the first session of the new House of Representatives headed by the oldest winner, elect a speaker for the new House of Representatives, and then this House of Representatives elects a president of the republic, and then the new House of Representatives can legislate a new law.

The elections include canceling the previous elections and canceling their results, with the dissolution of Parliament and setting dates for new elections, in order for the dissolution law to be ratified and new elections held by the President of the Republic and published in the Official Gazette.

Harb stressed that this is the only scenario “for these elections to end with the consequent electoral results, and all this is due to the desire and will of the majority of the votes of the members of the new House of Representatives,” ruling out the possibility of this being achieved “in view of the inability to imagine the members of the new House of Representatives agreeing to give up Their seats, their tendency to remain in power, and their playing a role in choosing the new government.”   nasnews.com

Dave   Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years.No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:

- Knowing when to come in out of the rain;

- Why the early bird gets the worm;

- Life isn't always fair;

- And maybe it was my fault.

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).

Dave   His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.

Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot.   She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death, -by his parents, Truth and Trust, -by his wife, Discretion, -by his daughter, Responsibility, -and by his son, Reason.

Dave   He is survived by his 5 stepchildren;

- I Know My Rights

- I Want It Now

- Someone Else Is To Blame

- I'm A Victim

- Pay me for Doing Nothing

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.

If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing

Al-Sabah indicated that the Minister of Justice, Salar Abdul Sattar, said: "Iraq has sent letters through its embassies around the world to all countries where there are looted Iraqi funds, whether they were deposited in banks during the rule of the former regime or related to money laundering that occurred after 2003".

The minister added: "Committees were formed through the legal department in the ministry, in cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to begin addressing the authorities of those countries to retrieve these funds." https://ninanews.com/Website/News/Details?Key=936012

Sheila   Discernment advised: Nicks Intel Update - Information, October 28, 2021 -- Good afternoon

We have been asked to remain quiet and so we are watching what is going on for the moment. We will still be posting the Safelink Websites when we get the notification. The biggest hold up has been the 3.5 Trillion dollar bill. The main problem has been that they are trying to tax an event that is non-taxable.

No one knows the rates and what you are hearing on the rates on the redemption of the Zim’s is wrong and we will not know what we are going to get until we are at the redemption center. We at this point do not know what the default rates are going to be until we get there.

Just try to remain calm and use your common sense.   When we get an update we will tell.

NORV  (Kaperoni from Dinar Alert) Dave why bother with a LOP? because they have to reduce the money supply. And there is only two ways to do it...1. gradually raise it over time and remove the notes. 2. just do it at once with a trillions to billions reduction. In either case, the money supply at 80-100 trillion is unmanageable as they move forward to engage with the global financial system. One event has to occur. Despite what guru's say, there cannot be a RV because Iraq cannot afford such an even with that much dinar in circulation in Iraq. Not to mention, it would turn the banking system into chaos.

Brent crude dropped $1.58, or 1.9%, to $83.00 a barrel by 0502 GMT, having hit a two-week low of $82.32 earlier and fallen by 2.1% in the previous session.

U.S. oil fell $1.39, or 1.7%, to $81.27 a barrel, also a one-week low, after dropping 2.4% on Wednesday.

Outbreaks of coronavirus infections in China and record deaths and the threat of lockdowns in Russia, along with rising cases in western Europe were putting the brakes on a multi-week rally in oil prices.

"A surge in new cases of COVID-19 threatens to disrupt the recovery in oil demand," ANZ Research commodities strategists Daniel Hynes and Soni Kumari said in a new report on Thursday.

In the U.S., the economy likely grew at the slowest rate in more than twelve months in the June-September quarter amid a resurgence of COVID-19 infections, amid strained global supply chains and global shortages of goods like autos.

Crude stocks rose by 4.3 million barrels last week, the U.S. Energy Department said, more than double the 1.9 million-barrel gain forecast by analysts.

The "hefty" stock build came "on the back of a large jump in net imports of crude oil and still sluggish refinery processing," Citi Research commodities analysts said in a note.

Still, gasoline stocks fell by 2 million barrels to the lowest in nearly four years, even as U.S. consumers struggle with rising prices to fill their tanks.

The Sadrists are the main force in the cabinet's lineup that is expected to be assembled after the Supreme Federal Court ratifies the final results of the polls. Al-Sadr has already laid the foundations for the policies the government will pursue. https://www.shafaq.com/en/Iraq-News/In-the-absence-of-al-Maliki-the-Coordination-Framework-to-convene-with-the-Sadrist-movement

2021-10-26 08:59   An American bank expects the price of a barrel of oil to rise above 90 by the end of the yearShafaq News/ Goldman Sachs Bank said that a strong recovery in global demand for oil may push Brent crude prices, the global standard, to exceed its expectations at the end of the year, which amount to $90 a barrel.

The American Investment Bank stated that it expected that oil demand would soon reach pre-Corona pandemic levels at about 100 million barrels per day, with consumption recovering in Asia after the wave of the mutated strain Delta, to exceed Brent $ 90 per barrel by the end of this year.

The bank also predicted that the switch from gas to oil could add at least one million barrels per day to crude demand.

Oil prices were also supported by concerns about a shortage of coal and gas supplies in China, India and Europe, which is spurring a shift to diesel and fuel oil to run power plants.

Both benchmarks recorded gains of about 20% since the beginning of September, and US crude rose for nine consecutive sessions, while Brent rose for seven sessions.   shafaq.com

2021-10-26 07:59      In the coming hours the President of the Republic will meet with Shiite Sunni and Kurdish forces that reject the election resultsShafaq News/ An informed political source revealed, on Tuesday, that an expanded meeting that includes the Presidency of the Republic and leaders of Shiite, Sunni and Kurdish blocs will be held in the coming hours to reach understandings regarding the results of the parliamentary elections and the formation of the next government.

The source told Shafaq News Agency, “The President of the Republic, Barham Salih, will hold a meeting in the coming hours with the coordination framework (Shiite political forces), in addition to the Kurdish and Sunni political forces objecting to the results of the early parliamentary elections,” without giving further details.

It is noteworthy that political forces renewed, on Sunday, their rejection of the results of the legislative elections in Iraq, calling on the President of the Republic to intervene.

The forces of what is known as the coordinating framework – made up of Shiite forces other than the Sadrist movement – and the “Azm” alliance headed by Khamis al-Khanjar, and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, held a meeting in the office of the head of the State of Law coalition, Nuri al-Maliki, according to a statement received by Shafaq News Agency.

butterfly   The gathered forces agreed to affirm their rejection of the election results, calling on the President of the Republic to intervene as he is the protector of the constitution to “prevent the trend of events towards something more dangerous.”

And earlier today, Tuesday, the coordinating framework (Shiite political forces) warned against not implementing the demands of the demonstrators and sit-ins at the gate of the Green Zone in the center of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.

The leader of the Al-Fateh Alliance, one of the most prominent forces of the coordination framework, Abu Mithaq Al-Masari, told Shafaq News Agency, “The 72-hour deadline given by the demonstrators and sit-ins at the Green Zone gate to implement their demands has expired, and for this the Commission and other competent authorities must implement the demands,” stressing that ” Failure to implement it will push the demonstrators to escalate the protest until the demands are met.”

An informed source told Shafak News Agency earlier today, that a meeting was held to coordinate the sit-in protesters in front of the Green Zone who reject the election results, indicating that there is an intention for the demonstrators to enter the Green Zone and sit in front of the Electoral Commission headquarters. shafaq.com

butterfly   Demonstrators who reject the election results are looking at escalation and intentions to storm Green

2021-10-26 08:34  Demonstrators who reject the election results are looking at escalation and intentions to storm GreenShafaq News/ An informed source said on Tuesday that a meeting was held to coordinate the sit-in protesters in front of the Green Zone rejecting the election results

The source told Shafak News Agency; The coordination of the demonstrations in front of the Green Gate, rejecting the results of the early elections, is holding an important meeting now to discuss the process of escalating the protests after the expiry of the 72-hour deadline.

The source added; That there is an intention for the demonstrators to enter the Green Zone and sit in front of the Electoral Commission headquarters.

Since the Independent High Commission announced the results of the legislative elections that took place this October, Shiite parties that own armed factions expressed their rejection of these results, and began to escalate and mobilize their audience to take to the street, which is what actually happened with the launch of demonstrations in regions and cities in Iraq.

And political leaders warned of fears that the rejectionist attitudes would take another path, given that the parties objecting to the election results had money and weapons and could worsen the situation and ignite a civil war in Iraq.

The results of the parliamentary elections resulted in the Sadrist bloc, led by Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, winning more than 70 seats, which qualifies him to form the federal government in alliance with winning political forces from the Kurds and Sunnis, and this aroused the resentment of the Shiite parties opposed to Sadr.    shafaq.com
