IMF: Global economic recovery not complete

Date of release: 2017/10/15 13:2520 times read
International Monetary Fund members said the global economy was improving but also acknowledged that the difficulties were not yet over with continued low inflation, weak growth expected and uneven recovery, which cast a shadow over growth estimates.
As central bank options dwindled and some sought to exit stimulus measures in times of crisis, the IMF renewed the call for fiscal policy and structural reforms to shoulder more of the burden of supporting recovery after the worst days of the economic storm.
"Structural reforms that are difficult to implement in difficult times are much easier in better times because expectations are stronger," IMF director Christine Lagarde told reporters.
A statement by the IMF's International Finance and Monetary Committee said that improving the global economy and increasing investment, trade and industrial production would improve expectations.
"The recovery is not yet complete" and inflation rates below target and expected growth are weak in many countries, "the statement warned.
A number of financial officials who participated in meetings of the IMF and the World Bank warned that although the economies of many countries have improved, some have been left behind.
Trade tensions cast a shadow over optimism about global growth, which has had its full impact on the difficult talks to renew the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which coincided with the fall meetings of the International Monetary Fund.
Trade was not mentioned in the statement, but Lagarde sought to be optimistic, saying that renewing long-standing trade agreements in the face of global changes was "entirely legitimate."
"Trade is a powerful engine of growth, innovation, competitiveness and productivity," she said when asked about NAFTA talks. "It could be useful to all parties involved in these negotiations if they are implemented well and hopefully."

World Bank aims to boost financial capacity in 2018

15-10-2017 02:14 PM
A World Bank spokesman said the bank is aiming to put in place new measures to strengthen its financial capacity and make its board decide at its next spring meetings in April 2018.

The World Bank has been seeking a general increase in IBRD capital two years ago but the administration of President Donald Trump is reluctant to support it.

A US treasury official told Reuters last week it was too early to think of such an increase and the World Bank needed to revise its public budget and stop diverting its resources to high-income emerging markets such as China and turning them into countries with higher needs.

The bank had originally targeted its shareholders to make a decision on raising capital at the annual meetings of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, which began last week.

The joint development committee of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) asked in a statement issued on Saturday to look into all options.

"We ask the board of directors and management to review all possible options to strengthen the financial capacity of the World Bank Group and develop a package of measures, including internal financing and public and voluntary capital increases, for consideration by the Governing Council with a view to reaching a decision at the Spring 2018 meetings," the committee said.

German Interior Minister proposes Islamic holiday and angry responses

Date of release: 2017/10/15 8:32199 times read
(International: Al-Furat News) German Interior Minister Thomas de Mezier, a close associate of Chancellor Angela Merkel, provoked controversy within the conservative camp by proposing a Muslim holiday in the country.
Two days ago, De Mezier put forward a proposal that was categorically rejected on Saturday by the Christian Social Union party allied to Merkel's conservative party.
"Our Christian heritage is not subject to debate," Alexander Duprendt, one of the leading figures of the Christian Social Union, told the German newspaper Bild. "There is no possibility of adding an Islamic holiday in Germany."
"I do not see a convincing reason" to add such a holiday, given that the religious traditions of Germany are Christian and Jewish and not Muslim, said one member of the Christian Democrats.
"In certain parts of the country, where many Muslims live, we have not offered to add an Islamic holiday," the interior minister said in an interview during an election campaign in Lower Saxony.
On Sunday, the province is witnessing regional elections expected to bring close results between conservatives and the Social Democrats.
The candidate of the Christian Democratic Union party rushed to announce that he did not share the view of the minister.

There are a lot more bonds coming. When the topic of rising budget deficits is discussed, the natural inclination is to worry about their bearish impact on interest rates. The logic is reasonable.. Or is it? Bigger deficits mean the U.S. government will likely need to sell more debt to finance the shortfall, and when there’s more of something its price tends to drop assuming steady demand. In the case of Treasuries, more debt should mean that stimulus is coming in some form, which presumably Read the full story

10-15-2017 Intel Guru RayRen98 This weekend on Iraqi TV, CBI's Alaq and others, along with PM Abadi, are referencing a full Iraq liberation coming soon. Daesh is surrendering at record volumes in the two remaining provinces. Al-Rafidain (Rafi) bank continues to promote the use of their international MasterCard. The Kurds supposedly have a new arrangement that should be presented on Wednesday. At the conclusion of Monday's meeting, things should become more transparent.

Article: "The Governor of the CBI participates in the meetings of the Higher Committee for Reconstruction and Investment" Quote: "The meeting dealt with the issues related to the advancement of reconstruction and investment projects in Iraq." Article: "Governor of the Central Bank heads to the United States to attend meetings of the IMF and the World Bank" Quote: "The central bank announced on Sunday that the central bank governor has gone to the United States to participate in meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank."

Summary:
Duffer: THIS IS THE LATEST UPDATE FROM ONE WORLD OF NATIONS SITE. THE WRITER, JOHN, CLAIMS TO BE AN ENGLISH LORD, SPEAKS ANONOMYSLY, AND INVOLVED IN THE NEGOTIATIONS. HE ALSO WANTS HIS COMMENTS TO BE SECRET EXCEPT FOR HIS SUBSCRIBERS TO WEBSITE. aS FAR AS I M CONCERNED HE IS PUBISHING PUBLICKLY AND WHAT HE WRITES PUBLIKLY IS OPEN TO ONE AND ALL.
OWoN:
Q: Your earlier advice was to watch out Tuesday or Wednesday last week and this week. Then the tax grab curve ball came up, with issues still to be sorted this coming week. Do you still suggest we maintain a watch this coming Tue or Wed or are we on hold for the time being?
A: This is a battle by the hour and day. It is Global, not just DC. DC is only coming to terms with being told NO to partial deals, or hefty taxes, or just the usual SHITE of renew the loans or we don’t redeem. This time the world is facing down these skunk Scum and saying No!
They are coming to terms with loss of Empire and control.
America has lost Iran, Egypt, Iraq and Syria. It is about to lose Turkey and soon Saudi. It has lost Asia. It is losing South America. It has lost Europe.
They are about to lose the Petro dollars scam and both China and Russia are pole-axing them. Even that clown in NK is facing them down.
Because they have no concept of Cultures or Global goodwill, they can’t see the End of Empire is now here. For Them!
This is now a whole new ball game weekly. Watch weekly. The world has nothing to lose facing down these parasites who they see about to implode. If the US does not start redeeming soon, the pure hatred we see will result in more affirmative actions. The Wookies inside the US are yet to really erupt but will. Soetoro allowed millions in, and let the Muslim Brotherhood mass penetrate with Sleepers. He mugged you all. Still he abuses his role as an Illegal and gets away with it. Sessions has achieved what?
Hold on for a white knuckle ride. Doing nothing now carries costs and consequences. Soon the new AU and Oil backed Yuan will start. The US is being refused US AU sales as we tighten the screw. These are Skip Rats on a sinking ship.
We are even scuttling their life boats. Sharks now circle as they hit the water.
Billie No Mates is afraid and confused alone. They either Pay, or by God they Pay!
Right now they are looking for lifelines. No one will throw them one. Everywhere they look is end of days for them. No more terms and no more delays. They either pay up, or the world scuttles the lot and picks the failed Colony up for 10 cents on the dollar. A forced Fire sale is OK it will allow the world to take what its owed. Starting with canceling all their US Global debts assumed as Fed Credits. If the US does not buy goodwill, watch what is coming once the new Yuan and Ruble contracts start.
If they don’t settle soon, they will won’t even be allowed into Asian markets, and try running a Global fleet with all ports closed to you. Sea and Air!
That bubble of fantasy that has become the US simply denies you the reality of Global views. Russians revere and trust Putin. Trump? He can’t even get to take Tea with the Queen or a State visit approved. Billy No Mates is fast running out of time. Once the new Yuan’s and AU backed Bonds hit, good bye Wall Street. Even China now has less than 15 % market expose to the US. Why bomb you when they can just implode you? Pay to stay in, or sink soon. The carrion will become the new Masters. Only now as demands become FU, are they realizing something is badly wrong. They don’t comply, or trust us? NO, they Hate and despise you. The Cabal either buys goodwill and protection, or ? Swiss Banks kick out American accounts. US nationals are told to leave the Banks. Out! The world is turning.
China is buying up your Debt at a discount. When they call it? It’s a Witches Coven right now. When and who puts you in play?
FROM ZAP:
HI ALL
THIS SUNDAY MARKS THE END OF A VERY LONG WEEK OF WORK. THE FORCES THAT HAVE DELAYED OUR RELEASES ARE PRETTY WELL TUCKERED OUT, AND A FEW THINGS WILL BEGIN FOR NOT ONLY US THIS COMING WEEK, BUT FOR A FEW OTHER SISTER ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE DESTINED TO DO THE SAME THINGS THAT WE ARE DOING.
THE ELDERS HAVE MADE SURE THAT THERE ARE DUPLICATES OF US ALL OVER THE GLOBE SO IN CASE SOMETHING HAPPENS TO ANY ONE OF US, THE OTHER WILL TAKE UP THE SLACK AND CONTINUE FORWARD WITH THE PLAN.
I WAS ASKED BY SOME PEOPLE TO DESCRIBE THE PROJECT FUNDING PROCESS IN A BIT MORE DETAIL, AND HOW IT TIES IN TO THE PROCESS THAT IS BEING ACCOMPLISHED RIGHT NOW.
TO DESCRIBE IT IN DETAIL THAT IS COHESIVE TO ITSELF IS NOT DIFFICULT BUT YOU HAVE TO SHIFT THINKING FROM A REGULAR VENTURE CAPITAL STRUCTURE THAT IS PURE PROFIT MOTIVATED IN PROVISION OF CAPITAL FUNDS, TO ONE THAT CONSIDERS A DIFFERENT SIDE TO THE APPROACH OF FUNDING ANY GIVEN PROJECT WITHOUT THE NEED OF MONEY CENTERED CONSIDERATIONS, BUT STILL FOLLOWING STANDARD GOOD BUSINESS PRACTICE AND MAKING A REASONABLE PROFIT FOR ALL.
GIVEN THAT SHIFT, THE NEED FOR MAXIMIZING PROFIT GOES AWAY. THE POINT IS TO MAKE THE PROJECT SUCCESSFUL. RIGHT NOW, THE ONLY THING THAT THE PROJECTS SUBMITTED REQUIRE IS FUNDING BUT THE RELEASES THAT ARE UNDERWAY HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF RELEASE. MOST OF THE STRUCTURES ARE IN PLACE NOW, AND MONEY FLOW IS UNDERSTOOD IN THE MORE SPIRITUAL SIDE OF THINGS.
THE DISTRIBUTION OF FUNDS TO THE GLOBAL PROJECTS IS THE FIRST AND FOREMOST JOB THAT IS BEING ACCOMPLISHED AS I WRITE THIS. IN ONE OF THE RELEASE MECHANISMS, (THE CURRENCY) YOU HAVE HEARD OF A FEW THAT HAVE CASHED OUT ON THEIR CURRENCY, MOSTLY THE ZIM THIS TIMING IS CONGRUENT TO THE OTHER RELEASES SO CLEAR INDICATORS ARE COMING OUT NOW. THIS COMING WEEK WE EXPECT HEARING MANY MORE RESULTS.
WE DO NOT KNOW THE DETAILS OF THE PAYOUTS BUT WE WILL KNOW VERY SOON. IF THERE IS SAY A TRILLION TO BE PAID OUT, THEY WILL NOT GIVE THE WHOLE AMOUNT RIGHT AWAY, BUT THEY WILL STRUCTURE IT OVER SOME PERIOD OF TIME. IT COULD BE A YEAR OR THIRTY DEPENDING ON THE AMOUNT AND BUDGETS OF THE PROJECTS, AND WHO IS ACCOMPLISHING THE WORK.
TO CONTINUE, DESPITE THE NATURE OF THE FUNDS AND THEIR INTENT IN HELPING OUR HUMANITY, SECURITY CONCERNS SURROUNDING THE FUNDINGS ARE BEING STRICTLY ADDRESSED. THE ELDERS HAVE FASHIONED A PROTOCOL FOR THE FUNDINGS COMING OUT THAT PREVENTS THE BAD GUYS AND VARIOUS MAFIAS OF THE WORLD FROM EVER TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE MONEY THAT IS MEANT FOR THE PROJECT, OR BEING ABLE TO JUST PLAIN STEAL IT. IT WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE. A SECURITY FORCE DOES SURROUND THE COMPLIANCE AND GOVERNANCE PORTION OF THE PROJECT OVERSIGHT TO ALLOW IT TO WORK UNIMPEDED IN THE PROVISION OF SERVICES.
THE MECHANISM OF RELEASE OF FUNDS TO THE PROJECT IS A TWO STAGE PROCESS WITH ALL THE WORK DONE ON THE FRONT END. THAT MEANS THE ORGANIZATION THAT IS BUILT TO INTAKE AND PERFORM THE DEPLOYMENT OF SERVICES (THE VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS LIKE FOOD, SHELTER, MEDICINE, DISASTER RELIEF, ETC), IS THE VETTING MECHANISM OF THE PROJECTS THAT ARE SUBMITTED.
ONCE A PROJECT WE UNDERTOOK TO FUND GETS THE GREEN LIGHT, IT RECEIVES PRELIMINARY FUNDS TO GET IT BREATHING AND COME TO LIFE. THERE ARE LOTS OF GOOD PROJECTS OUT THERE JUST WAITING FOR THE FUNDS TO COME IN AND GET THEM LUBRICATED AND FUNCTIONING. THE USUAL OF NO INCOME WHILE YOU PLAN THE PROJECT IS A ROYAL PAIN, AND THOSE THAT HAVE DONE THAT UNDERSTAND WELL THE MEANING OF EVEN A FEW THOUSAND TO GIVE THEM SOME BREATHING SPACE.
WE WILL START AS SOON AS WE CAN TO BEGIN BREATHING A BIT OF LIFE HERE AND THERE AT FIRST AND WE WILL NOT GET TO ALL RIGHT AWAY, BUT WE WILL. IT SHOULD NOT TAKE TOO LONG TO ASSEMBLE STAFF AND BEGIN WORK, BUT IT WILL TAKE A BIT OF TIME. WE ARE WORKING ON THOSE SCHEDULES AS WE SPEAK.
ON THE SECOND STAGE OF THIS TWO STAGE PROCESS, ONCE THE PROJECT HAS COMPLETED THE VETTING PROCESS, THE TRUST AND FOUNDATION BEHIND OUR ORGANIZATION FUNDS THE PROJECT ACCORDING TO THE APPROVED FILE, AND REALISTICALLY DO-ABLE BUDGET AS SUBMITTED. A VERY SIMPLE PROCESS.
THE TIME BETWEEN SUBMISSION TO THE TRUST/FOUNDATION AND FIRST FUNDS TO THE PROJECT IS VERY FAST AS THEY DUPLICATE THE SECURITY CHECKS AND GIVE EXPERT OPINION DURING OUR ORGANIZATION’S VETTING PROCESS. THEY SHARE OUR DATABASE SO THEY CAN COMPARE THEIR FINDINGS IN REAL TIME.
THIS SECONDARY AND COMPLETELY SEPARATE MECHANISM TO DOUBLE CHECK THE EFFORTS OF THE ORGANIZATION IS VERY STRINGENT. IF THERE IS SOMETHING BURIED IN THE PROJECT THAT HAS A SHADY THING TO IT, IT WILL BE FOUND. WE ALL UNDERSTAND THESE GUYS TO KNOW THINGS WE DO NOT KNOW AND THEIR INFORMATION WILL BE INVALUABLE.
THE ACTUAL RELEASE OF FUNDS TO A PROJECT IS FAST, BUT THE TIME FOR VETTING AND PREPARING THE FILE MAY TAKE FROM HOURS TO MONTHS.
THIS DEPENDS ON THE TIME TAKEN TO GO THROUGH THE NORMAL OVERVIEW OF THE PROJECT, AND DEVELOPING THE IN-HOUSE FILE REGARDING OPERATIONAL STATUS, READINESS TO MOVE, SECURITY CHECKS, AND SO ON. THIS ALL RESULTS IN A GO/NO GO RECOMMENDATION. ON THE GREEN LIGHT, THE TRUST/FOUNDATION TAKES THE FILE AND DOES ONE FINAL DOUBLE CHECK BEFORE CUTTING THE CHEQUE TO THE PROJECT. THE PROJECT RECEIVES FIRST FUNDS.
THIS ALLOWS OUR ORGANIZATION TO SPECIALIZE IN THE SERVICE ASPECT TO THE PROJECT WE ARE FUNDING. NO MATTER HOW YOU LOOK AT IT, THE MORE SUCCESSFUL PROJECTS DONE OUT THERE, AND THE MORE HAPPY PEOPLE YOU HAVE WITH LOOSE CHANGE IN THEIR POCKET, THE BETTER OFF WE ALL ARE AND ERADICATION OF POVERTY IS SO MUCH CLOSER AS IT IS A NATURAL CONSEQUENCE OF SUCH PROSPERITY. THE HAPPY THOUGHT OF HAVING ALL COUNTRIES HAVE HAPPY PEOPLE DOING GOOD THINGS AND LEADING GOOD LIVES IS VERY APPEALING.
SO THAT’S THE PROJECT FUNDING SNAPSHOT. I TRUST IT IS WHAT YOU FOLKS NEEDED.
Hi Susan,
I hope you and the team are doing well. Zap mentioned last week he would provide information on the banking rules has faced so that we can learn how to set up banking rules to ease the transfer of funds. I read one or two mentions on trust/shell accounts in his last post, do you know if he will elaborate more in the next post, or if that’s all the details he plans to share?
Thanks,
RJ
HI RJ. WE ARE STILL IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING OUR STRUCTURE COMPLETED, AND WE WERE BLESSED WITH THE INTRODUCTION TO A VERY WELL KNOWN ATTORNEY THAT DEALS WITH SUCH TRUST STRUCTURES AND THEIR INTERFACE WITH ORGANIZATIONS LIKE OURS.
IT IS GOING TO BE A NECESSARY THING TO HAVE TRUSTS, COMMON LAW OR OTHERWISE, AS WELL AS CORP SOLES, FOUNDATIONS AND REGULAR CORPORATIONS. IT WILL ALL DEPEND ON WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND WHAT IS THE END RESULT YOU WISH TO ACHIEVE. IF YOU ARE SETTING A BUSINESS, THEN YOU NEED A REGULAR CORPORATION. IF YOU ARE DOING CHARITY WORKS, A STRUCTURE UNDER CANON LAW WOULD SERVE WELL. ONCE WE ARE COMPLETED AND UNDERSTAND THESE THINGS, WE WILL BE ABLE TO RECOMMEND THE LEGAL FOLKS THAT PUT SUCH THINGS TOGETHER. WE SHOULD KNOW MUCH THIS COMING WEEK.
WE WILL STRUCTURE EACH PROJECT ACCORDING TO ITS REQUIREMENTS AND PROVIDE THE LAWYERS AND ACCOUNTANTS THAT WILL PERFORM INFRASTRUCTURE REQUIREMENTS OF EACH PROJECT. MINIMIZATION OF TAX EXPOSURE IS A NATURAL AREA OF FOCUS, AND THE GOOD LEGAL AND TAX HELP WE HAVE WILL LEND WELL TO THE PROJECT..
SO ALL PROJECTS WILL BE WELL LOOKED AFTER WITH THE FOCUS REMAINING ON MAKING THEM BIGGER, BETTER AND MORE EFFECTIVE.
THE BOTTOM LINE FOR US IS THAT WE ARE AT THE END OF THE TIME OF NO RESOURCES. WE HAVE SPENT MANY YEARS AND MANY TEARS IN GETTING TO THIS POINT, AND BEING ABLE TO GET PROJECTS FUNDED FOR THE RIGHT REASONS. WE WILL BE THERE WITHIN DAYS NOW, AND THIS WHOLE STRIFE THING OF HAVING NO MONEY WILL EVAPORATE. YES WE STILL COULD USE A HAND, THERE ARE A FEW THAT ARE STILL HUNGRY, BUT ALL OF THIS WILL BE OVER THIS WEEK.
IT HAS CERTAINLY BEEN A JOURNEY GETTING HERE. I EXPECT OUR HUMAN RESOURCES WILL BE GETTING VERY VERY BUSY NOW. OUR GREATEST SOUGHT AFTER RESOURCE IS YOU. WE NEED GOOD PEOPLE THAT WILL DO THIS WORK. WHAT IS THE WORK? TAKE YOUR PICK. THE FIELD IS WIDE OPEN, WITH THE GREATEST NEED BEING PROJECT MANAGERS. THEIR CREDENTIALS HAVE TO BE TOP LINE, AND AFTER OUR ENTRY SEMINARS TO TEACH THEM OUR METHODOLOGIES OF PERFORMING GOVERNANCE THEY WILL UNDERTAKE A SERIES OF PROJECTS UNDER THEIR WING THEY WILL LOOK AFTER. THE AMOUNT OF GOOD PROJECT MANAGERS IS THE SINGLE LARGEST RESOURCE WE WILL TAKE IN AND TRAIN IN GLOBAL OPERATIONS.
ON ANOTHER TOPIC, THAT OF CHEMTRAILS AND WEATHER CONTROL. WE FINALLY HAVE A MOVIE COMING OUT ABOUT WEATHER MACHINES AND THE DESTRUCTION THEY CAN CAUSE. ONE OF THE LATEST ITEMS OF NOTE IS THE FOLLOWING LINK:
THE HURRICANES THAT WERE JUST HERE, THE RADAR MAPS OF HAARP IN ACTION, AND MANY OTHER LEAKED INTELLIGENCE IN RESPECT OF WEATHER CONTROL IS PRETTY WELL OUT THERE AND VERY VISIBLE. I DO NOT LIKE THE IDEA OF BEING SPRAYED WITH CRAP ANY MORE THAN YOU DO, BUT I STARTED TO PUT TWO THINGS TOGETHER.
THERE WILL BE 3 ZONES AFFECTED THAT WILL SPEW A LOT OF ASH INTO THE SKY, AND WRECK A LOT OF LAND. COUNTLESS WILL PERISH AND THIS IS TO BE SEEN HERE:
THIS IS THE MAN THAT HAS CORRECTLY PREDICTED, EVERY TIME, EARTHQUAKES AND OTHER EVENTS BASED ON HIS OWN SCIENTIFIC CALCULATIONS THAT ARE NOW RECOGNIZED.
WE HAVE THIS PLANET SIZE PIECE OF SOMETHING, THAT IS ROUNDING THE SUN. IT WILL BE COMIN-ROUND-THE-MOUNTAIN NOW, AND WE WILL GET TO SEE IT MUCH MORE OFTEN. THE GRAVITATIONAL FIELD WILL WREAK HAVOC AND THREE ZONES WILL SUFFER. WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH WEATHER MACHINES?
IF OUR PLANET ROCKS AND SLOSHES A BIT, THEN IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO HAVE A WEATHER CONTROL SYSTEM TO CREATE (FOR EXAMPLE) RAINFALL OVER A PLUME OF VOLCANIC ASH TO MINIMIZE THE SPREAD OF THE FALLOUT, RIGHT?
SO THIS IS SOMETHING TO CONSIDER WHEN LOOKING AT THE US GOVERNMENT’S INSTRUCTION TO HAVE THE MILITARY CREATE A WEATHER CONTROL SYSTEM BY ABOUT 2020 I THINK, BUT THEY DID IT FASTER. I FIGURE THIS IS THE MOST PROBABLE REASON FOR THE THOUSANDS OF STRATEGICALLY PLACED RADAR BALLS THAT COMPRISE THE NEW AND IMPROVED ‘HAARP’ SYSTEM. IT CAN DO BAD, IT CAN DO GOOD LIKE ANYTHING ELSE OUT THERE.
OH BY THE WAY, I JUST HEARD THAT CHINA IS GOING TO DO SOMETHING CLOSE TO OUR HEART. THEY ARE TAKING A BIG CHUNK OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDS THEY ARE ALLOTTED, AND THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE A HUGE DENT INTO ITS SENIORS POPULATION WITH MASSIVE BUILDOUTS OF ASSISTED CARE FACILITIES, MEDICAL CENTERS, SENIOR CENTERS AND SO ON. VERY COOL. WE WILL DO THE SAME IN NORTH AMERICA.
THANKS FOR BEING HERE. THANKS FOR WANTING TO DO THE SAME THING WE WANT TO DO.
GOD BLESS
IN STRONG GRATITUDE.
LOVE AND LIGHT
IN OUR SERVICE

Prime Minister and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Dr. Haider Al-Abadi heads the meeting of the Ministerial Council for National Security

15 October - 2017

The Prime Minister and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, Dr. Haider Al-Abadi, chaired the meeting of the Ministerial Council for National Security.

The council stressed that the priority is still to end the presence of gangs and to encourage terror in all regions of Iraq.

The Council explained during the meeting that it indicates the quest of the parties implementing the referendum unconstitutional in the Kurdistan region to create a case of military mobilization in various claims, hoping to mislead the citizens of the Kurds and their view of the serious consequences of the referendum, and that his truth is not for the benefit of the Kurds, but for the interests of a dominant entity in the region and its resources And an attempt to abort the crystallization of any official Kurdish position seeking treatment.

The National Security Council warned of the serious escalation and provocations by forces belonging to the Kurdistan region outside the borders of the province, which wants to drag the country into internal strife in order to achieve its goal of dismantling Iraq and the region in order to establish a state on an ethnic basis.

The Council stressed that the insistence on holding the referendum outside the Constitution despite the objection of the partners of the homeland and outside the national partnership and stand against the international community indicates that there is a deliberate intention to resort to force and impose the status quo.

The council pointed out that the extension of the region's militants to areas beyond the borders defined in the constitution by the force of arms and threats and the persecution and displacement of the people living in the majority non-Kurdish areas and prevent the return of displaced persons in a bid to change the demographic drag the country into a devastating conflict.

The Ministerial Council on National Security also warned against the mobilization of armed elements outside the regular security system in Kirkuk from influential parties that do not belong to Kirkuk and the infighting of irregular forces, some belonging to an organization PKK Turkish, considering it a dangerous escalation can not be tolerated and it represents a declaration of war on the rest Iraqis and regular federal forces.

The Council pointed out that while we are keen to ensure peace throughout the country, the federal government and the regular forces will do their duty to defend citizens from all walks of life of the Iraqi people, including the Kurds, and to defend Iraq's sovereignty and unity in cooperation with the international community.

The Ministerial Council for National Security also affirmed the government's determination to work for the return of displaced persons to all areas forcibly taken over by the forces of the province, as well as to expedite the completion of the return of the rest of the displaced to other areas liberated by our armed forces from gangs.

The Council reaffirmed that the disputed areas would be managed by federal forces and local forces under the leadership of the federal authority
