The religious authority in Iraq considered that this uprising is the first of the fraudulent ballot boxes in expressing the will of the people and choosing their representative.

2019/11/25 04:51:50
U.S. Vice President Mike Pence's visit to the Kurdistan Region, on November 23, 2019, and his meeting with the Presidents of the region, Nechirvan Barzani, and the government Masroor Barzani, and Pence stressed the importance of the alliance between Washington and the Kurdistan Region and working with the Kurds to achieve peace and prosperity in the region. He praised the valor of the Peshmerga, and stressed that his country's forces remain in Syria and Iraq to strengthen the partnership with allies. “Thank you for giving me this opportunity, and today for allowing me to be here,” Mr. Barzani told Barzani. “I used the opportunity to inform you of President Donald Trump and the United States of America, for the Kurdish people.” He said: (I also emphasize the role of the Kurds as important allies of the United States in the region). It has become the focus of international media talk and international attention, not to visit Baghdad, either because of demonstrations, or because of the large gap in relations between Iraq and America, which is still widening, or because of the disclosure of hundreds of leaked Iranian intelligence reports that show the depth of Tehran's influence in Iraq, It provoked widespread controversy among Iraqi politicians who missed opportunities, scattered society and destroyed human and social relations, spreading mistrust among people, absent laws and rules of interaction between members of society, and absent the rule of law and replace it with hypocrisy. With deputies whose capital and capital they thought would last forever, and in their romantic words, they began to speak with voices lashing at criticism of sovereignty and violating it, without feeling that Iraqi sovereignty had been infiltrated and violated for years by both endowed and bear, and continue to talk and theorize about this visit. Their objectives and outcomes in definitive formulas.
Away from the free advice that was launched, which calls for not to risk and rely on America, and not to be dragged behind its directions and not to trust its promises and arrangements , and repeated treachery during the past years, and not forgiveness and forget about the Kurds subjected to successive betrayals difficult to overcome its remnants .

Aside from emotion and emotion, we read the tweet of Nechirvan Barzani, as well as the tweet of Mike Pence on Twitter. Where we find that proves that the policy of President of the region Nechirvan Barzani and his strategic vision conscious in the face of challenges To support the just and legitimate Kurdish issue, it represents an extension of the policy of President Massoud Barzani, all centered around honing further work, and the need to shoulder the tasks in order to serve the Kurds and meet their aspirations and aspirations according to the decisions of international legitimacy represented in human rights regulations , and emphasizes the superior ability to navigate the center The waves crashing into the sea of the region, and in dealing with caution and wisdom and careful careful with the changes, witnessed in the region. We can also touch the pillars of the constants of Kurdistan and the position on various internal and external issues alike, and strengthen the relations of Kurdistan with all countries, especially the neighboring countries and large countries that influence the decision in international forums. Mike Pence, in his visit to Erbil, despite its shortness, has sent many messages to various parties. The issue of understanding their content is left to those who are concerned with these messages, and how well they are prepared to understand.

World Bank’s ‘Doing Business 2020 – Iraq’ report: A Critique
The World Bank published ‘Doing Business 2020– Iraq’ report (henceforth WB2020), on September 25 2019, amid tumultuous political and economic events in Iraq.
WB2020 aims to “recommend reforms to improve performance in each of the indicator areas” (https://www.doingbusiness.
It covers business regulation and reform in different cities (Baghdad in the case of Iraq) and regions within nations. Countries/regions/cities can compare their business regulations with the 190 economies ranked in the report.
The report encourages economies to compete towards more efficient regulation; it offers measurable benchmarks for reform; and serves as a resource for those interested in the business climate of each economy.
It is instructive to benchmark Iraq’s performance in creating a conducive (if competitive) environment to do business.

British report cites alarming numbers of unemployment and poverty in Iraq
Date: 2019/11/25 9:33 • 127 times read
A report by the British, the figures are almost frightening to the rates of unemployment and poverty in Iraq.
The Daily Telegraph published a report in its Jordanian correspondent Sarah Williams on the demonstrations in Iraq that have killed dozens in recent weeks.
"The demonstrators have united in their demands after the government failed them. Despite the oil wealth the country has, one in five Iraqi citizens lives below the poverty line, while the youth unemployment rate is 25 percent." "The police confronted the demonstrators with bullets and lethal force, especially in the capital Baghdad and Nasiriyah, the fourth largest Iraqi city." Police shot at demonstrators who were blocking the road to the southern port of Umm Qasr, the only seaport on the Gulf, through which most medical and food imports arrive and is an outlet for the country's oil exports. "The demonstrations that began last month have expanded and gained momentum," Williams said. "A large segment of Iraqis of different faiths and clergy are taking part in anti-corruption demonstrations." She adds that despite repeated government promises and recognition of the right of protesters to express their views and announce reforms including the appointment of more civilians in the public sector, reform of the electoral system, and extensive changes in ministries and the government sector, the demonstrations continue.

11-24-2019 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Pence has ushered in what appears to be the foundation for the final agreement set for tomorrow in Baghdad. Keep in mind the salaries that will need to be paid. We know they NSCN's (lower denoms) will need a rate prior to using them. They are said to be populated throughout Iraq now, as told by Alak that funds have moved in armored trucks in the very recent past. The 28th is the last payday of the month. It makes more sense to to me to pay them in a new rate with nscn's, than again paying them with a program rate. [post 2 of 2]
11-24-2019 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Article: "Pence gave the green light to the Kurds on the sale of oil without involving Baghdad" I don't believe this is an aside for not paying the 250,000 barrels a day to Baghdad. In fact it is above and beyond that amount that could be sold. This bodes very well for the Kurds and us as investors, as it will seal the agreement for the implementation of the 2019 Federal Budget Law that will usher in the 2020 Budget cycle to come (imo) that has the Kurdistan's Regional share of it inside. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned] 11-24-2019 Intel Guru Frank26 Are there particular banks that will exchange dinar once the rate is changed? …In our opinion the CBI has reached out internationally to private banks around the world to have an international relationship with them for the exchange process. IMO also the Central Bank of Iraq will have CBI banks in the United States of America where you can go in and exchange your currency and keep it as dinars. That would be fantastic if it is true. I think it is. Because that will help us in the process of ‘when to hold them and when to fold them…’ 11-24-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana The players and groups that have an interest in keeping the exchange rate as it is are not a huge group. The "bad" part of the Government of Iraq isn't the majority...And it appears that change is happening now. Since early October, there have been serious protests in Iraq, and the pressure has resulted in Iraq moving towards some changes that (in hindsight) have been necessary this whole time. A few of the "bad guys" aren't going to be happy, and they will put up some resistance still, but they will fall to the side and Iraq's currency will not stay in the "XXXX:1" range. The question has always been "when", not "if". Over the recent years, Iraq has been at a tipping point. SO CLOSE, all the time! In hindsight, what was needed is obvious. And it's happening right now. [post 4 of 4] 11-24-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana Political players and parties have been able to manipulate the status quo, and profit from it. I would say it's fair to write down as fact that there are players in this situation that have worked specifically against the RV... because they were making money on the system as it was, and why would they change that?! Although tremendous ground has been covered in Iraq's journey back to prosperity, there have been people and groups that had a vested interest in seeing Iraq maintain the status quo (no RV), and keep the people impoverished. Hope is not lost, though. Far from it, in fact! [post 3 of 4....stay tuned] 11-24-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana Then the country began to rebuild, ...and eventually the world recognized their progress with the official lifting of Chapter 7 sanctions. More progress has been made, hurdles have been cleared, and Iraq is nowhere near what it was in 2003. All along the path of this rebuilding, we've been watching and waiting for a major change. Not that the change from 4000:1 to the current 1190:1 isn't a "major change"...but it's not the "major" change they are capable of. It's not "the" change we are waiting for. It's not the change that we know is coming. As we look back on the last decade plus, with the benefit of hindsight, it's easy to see how and why they haven't RV'd yet. It's quite simple, really: [post 2 of 4...stay tuned] 11-24-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana I made a mention this week about Iraq being in a good place - my optimism continues. Every week, I read thousands of posts...This last week, I read one that hit me right in the chest... Quote: "... in hindsight, it makes perfect sense that we didn't have an RV before the people forcefully demanded change." ...I can't help but think how true it is. And how obvious! Iraq has made tons of progress. They were thrown into a dark hole when Saddam Hussein was removed. Their currency plummeted from a high value down to a lowly scrap... [post 1 of 4....stay tuned] 11-24-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Francis Albert If I was on a game show, and had to, "had to" give an answer, I would say .86 open on Forex. Well, I would not cash at that, as I believe it would move from there somewhat bullishly. (is that a word?)
11-24-2019 Intel Guru Frank26 Trump sent Pence to Iraq today... You will find out soon who else he sent...I don’t believe there are coincidences... I believe timing is everything and there is a “time” scheduled” for them to do this.
