time2rv: Newshound Guru OOTW Article: “Parliamentary Economic proposes to change the central bank policy and stresses: financial situation would be “the biggest challenge” [What is your sense of these articles?]
THE MOST CLEAR ASPECT I SEE IS THAT THEY WANT AND NEED TO GET THEIR EXPORTS GOING AND THIS IS THE PRIMARY REASON FOR ADDRESSING THE VALUE OF THE IQD. …WE’VE ALREADY SEEN THE RATE DROP TO 1182.
BOTH THE CBI AND SALEH (ADVISER TO ABADI) AND THE ECONOMIC COMMITTEE HAVE PUBLISHED THEIR LISTS OF NEEDED REFORMS TO THE ECONOMIC AND BANKING CONDITIONS.
THEN WE HAVE THE PARLIAMENT SITE, STEADILY POSTING ANNOUNCEMENTS THAT PEOPLE NEED TO START SUPPORTING/BUYING IRAQI PRODUCTS.
THE MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT AND TRADE HAVE BOTH PUBLISHED ANNOUNCEMENTS REGARDING THE NEED TO PREPARE FOR INTERNATIONAL TRADE…AS WELL AS AGREEMENTS WITH OTHER COUNTRIES (STATUS OF – MOVING FORWARD). [post 1of 2….stay tuned]
time2rv: Newshound Guru OOTW REPAIR OF THE PORTS AS WELL. ARTICLES FROM ECONOMISTS STATING THAT IRAQ HAS TO JUMP START THE ECONOMY VIA TRADE (ESP EXPORTS) AND STATING THAT THE CURRENT VALUE OF THE DINAR DOESN’T SUPPORT THAT…
LIKEWISE, SOME OF THESE ECONOMISTS STATE THEIR (VALID) REASONING AS TO WHY THE IQD VALUE SHOULD BE DECREASED OR INCREASED. HENCE THE NEED AS STATED BY ZEBARI AND MOHSEN (SEPARATE ADDRESSMENTS) RE THE STUDY OF THE VALUE OF THE DINAR.
ABADI ALSO STATING THAT THEY NEED TO INSTITUTE THE TARIFFS TO HELP REBUILD THEIR RESERVES.
THE REASON BECAUSE THE ECONOMISTS KEEP HARPING ON THIS – IS BECAUSE IT NEEDS TO BE DONE…
YET, OVER ALL THESE YEARS…WE STILL SEE A CONTINUED POLICY OF CONFLICT BETWEEN THE ECONOMIC ADVISERS AND GOVT COMMITTEES VS THE CBI. I AGREE WITH THE THOUGHTS OF MANY OTHERS..SOMETHING IS AFOOT. [post 2 of 2]

chattels: The liberation of Ramadi is now being treated as a fait accompli, though the Iraqi security forces continue to clear Islamic State fighters from some of the city’s suburbs. But the result seems all but assured: The most significant challenges in constructing a post-Islamic State political order in Iraq still lie ahead.
chattels: But the real question facing Iraq is not a military one. The Iraqi security forces have demonstrated their ability to liberate a large urban area, and whether Mosul falls this spring or next winter, the final outcome is not in doubt.
chattels: What is in doubt is the political arrangements that will emerge in Iraq after the military struggle is won — and this is where the U.S. focus should go. For all its failures in Iraq, the United States has endowed the country with democratic institutions — however nascent, immature, and weak — that are worth husbanding. But at least three pending political crises must be closely monitored.

chattels: Iraq’s Shiite Arabs comprise between 60 and 70 percent of Iraq’s citizens. It is worth continually reminding Western observers of this fact: Given the democratic constitution bequeathed to Iraq by the U.S. occupation, calling Iraq’s government “Shiite-dominated” is somewhat akin to calling that of the United States “white-dominated.”
That the course of Iraq’s future will be charted by its Shiite majority is demographically — and therefore democratically — incontrovertible.
chattels: Iraq’s Shiite community can be roughly divided into two camps, though with deep tensions within each. The first, which is currently in power, gives priority to Iraq’s relationship with the United States and the West. Prime Minister Abadi, of the Islamic Dawa Party, best symbolizes this group, together with those members of his party who spent their exile in London or other Western cities.
Also in this group are the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq, the Sadrists, and the religious leadership in Najaf and Karbala. Arrayed against this group are those who would prioritize Iranian ties and, by extension, an alliance with Russia as well.
Former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has become the de facto face of this group, but others aligned include many members of the Dawa Party who spent their exile in Iran and Syria, plus the Badr Organization, the League of the Righteous (AAH), and Iraqi Hezbollah (KH).
chattels: Excellent reading ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^.
chattels: One of the second-order effects of the Islamic State’s invasion of northern Iraq has been the expansion of the Kurdish Peshmerga into the “disputed territories.”
The territories — which are about equal in size to the current territory of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and encompass parts of the provinces of Nineveh, Kirkuk, Salahaddin, and Diyala — are disputed because there are rival claims between the Iraqi Kurds and the Baghdad government.
chattels: It is important to note that the Shiite Arabs — Iraq’s majority faction — are largely not a party to these disputes.
chattels: The ” rub ” over the disputed areas is largely with other Sunni. ( Arab, non – Kurds )
rocknrollbus: ‹@chattels› Is the Shiite army called the gray?
chattels: ‹@rocknrollbus› The ” gray ” seems to be the area of Ramadi.
rocknrollbus: Thanx
chattels: Shia militias are ” PMU’s ” or Hash’d or the ” popular crowd ”
chattels: Sunni militias are the ” sons of the tribes ”
