Iraq .. Militias disobey Sistani's reference
Thursday 12 December 2019
Iraqis insist that the supreme Shiite authority, Sayyid Ali al-Sistani, has died, for years, inferring that his two agents say when reciting the Friday sermon: “We recite to you what we received from the office of Mr. Ali al-Sistani.” But these words do not provide or delay, as the contents of the sermon remain. Reflecting the opinion of the Shiite authority, binding on its imitators.
This leads us to an important matter is that those holding power in Iraq and Iranian militias and their followers do not imitate Mr. Sistani, but rather take from his name a meek for themselves and a cover for their criminal actions, they disobey the directions and orders of the reference, but they claim that they respect it and follow its guidance and approach. Whenever the reference says to them, do not raise the image of the reference in your celebrations, they raised it, and whenever you prevented them from shouting in the name of the reference in their marches, they opposed it. Al-Senak district in central Baghdad, last Friday, and they invest the name of Marjaiya even in committing their crimes and do not follow them, but rather they follow the Iranian guardian jurist and his representative in Iraq Qassem Soleimani, commander of the Iranian Quds Force.
I read an objective statement of a great Iraqi poet, who posted it on his page on social media, and its text: “I read a lot of words about the role of the reference, and it is noted that the reference criticizes, advises and proposes, in the affairs of governance, but it does not decide or dictate its opinions, and this is good for them and for the people. The decision in the affairs of government is for the people first and foremost, the people with their representatives elected freely and fairly according to a sound, just and fair electoral law, and under the supervision of a truly independent and fair elections commission.
From the start, the Shiite authority distanced itself from interfering in political matters, but that did not delight those who came with the American occupation of Iraq, bringing with them the claim that the Iraqi Shiites were oppressed and liberated from this oppression, which lasted 1400 years, and they were thrown in the name of the Sistani authority in every reprisal they committed, except This claim did not last long and was proven false: Iraqi Shiites obtained their revenge policy for what all Iraqis have received, and this explains to us a great secret of the ongoing Iraqi uprising of the Iraqi uprising until now, which Qassem Soleimani was unable to suppress, as he did with Iranian demonstrations, so the national awareness The sharp, fueled by the plight of the American occupation, then the Iranian occupation of Iraq, neither Iran nor its proxies have calculated it, and for this also, we note that the Iranian militias and the authority associated with Iran the more they suppress the protesters, the more protesters insist on their demands and confront the bullets of the militia naked breasts.
During the current Iraqi crisis, the Shiite authority tried to hold the stick from the middle, and it seemed embarrassed in trying to reconcile two opposing parties. The protesters want her to adopt their position or at least be neutral. And those in charge of the regime are trying to push its name into what is going on and use it as a legitimate cover in their battle against the protesters, but it was clear in last Friday's sermon, when it confirmed that it hopes "that the head of the new government and its members will be chosen within the constitutional period and according to what citizens aspire to be away from any external interference “This is a clear text biased towards the right of the Iraqi people, but will these militias satisfy these words?
In the text of the speech itself, the reference asserted that it “is not a party to any hadith in this regard, and has no role in it in any way.” But what happened was that groups bearing pictures of the Sistani authority and chanting in its name penetrated the demonstrators and assaulted them with killing and stabbing with knives, without the slightest attention to what The sermon came from directions.
After this militia aggression against peaceful demonstrators, the US Treasury confirmed sanctions against Iraqi militia leaders loyal to Iran for using violence to confront protests and involvement in corruption cases. A senior State Department official also said that his country is preparing new sanctions in connection with the protests in Iraq, and this proves the involvement of Iran, whose demonstrators burned its consulates in Basra, Najaf and Karbala and tried to reach its embassy in Baghdad, in the crime of suppressing the peaceful Iraqi protests, especially after it was confirmed that Leader of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard in Iraq to lead the aggression against the demonstrators and imposed a satisfactory Iranian Prime Minister on Iraq from him.
The constant is that the reference in its sermon last Friday, tried to be clear in declaring the sanctity of Iraqi blood, a charge that concerns the militias and security forces because it possesses weapons, while the demonstrators do not have any weapon that wastes Iraqi blood, as well as its emphasis on the selection of a prime minister according to what Citizens look to him away from any external interference, and the two orders were not obeyed or satisfied by the militias associated with Iran, which proved that the name of Sistani's authority regarding these militias is a cover to cover up for his revenge crimes against the Iraqis. litical

Editing Date: 12/12/2019

"
Khazali pointed out that "the reason for delaying the session until after four o'clock in the afternoon comes not because we adhered to the director of the office of the resigned Prime Minister {Abu Jihad al-Hashemi} as he was resigning with the government; And Al-Ghazzi resigned with the government, and we do not hold onto anyone at the expense of the street. "
He cautioned that "there is a technical problem in the electoral law related to the multiple constituencies and the quota for women, and the parliament took it upon itself to postpone the meeting today to next Monday to discuss the electoral law on the overlapping of the administrative boundaries of the districts and areas and the lack of a database or real numbers in those districts and electoral constituencies and the biometric card."
And Khazali said, "The time period relates to the 100% maturity of the law, as it includes new ages, voting abroad and updating the voter registry, and the commission is the one that determines the time period for preparing early elections."

Politics December 12, 2019 57 visits
Baghdad / SNG- Parliamentary Legal Committee revealed, Thursday, the most important proposals included in the new election law in the House of Representatives, indicating that the political blocs are in the process of passing the law after the maturity of the proposals and final amendments.
Deputy Chairman of the Parliamentary Legal Committee, Mohamed Al-Ghazzi, said in a press statement to SNG, that "the new election law is clear and there are no wrap-up clauses in it, and all parliamentary blocs are grouped to follow the multi-circle system in addition to the highest winners."
He added, "The electronic counting and counting will be approved, in addition to the opening of a station in each polling station to match its proportion with the electronic counting and counting rate. If the mismatch rate is more than 10%, the electoral center will be opened and the manual counting and count will be approved."
And he stated that "many guarantees stipulated by the new election law to prevent counterfeiting, including the intersection of fingerprints, in addition to the use of the national card and civil ID, in addition to the voter card and the use of the biometric card exclusively for voting outside Iraq and the displaced and for private voting."
He explained that "the new election law guarantees the preliminary results to be announced within 24 hours, as well as immediately after the polling stations close, all observers of political entities and candidates receive a copy of the electronic card for election results for each station."
He pointed out that "keeping the commission away from all suspicions of corruption in the future because the entire commission is accused of forgery, so the structure of the commission had to be changed so that there is reassurance to the Iraqi street of the results of the upcoming elections."
He continued, "The bloc of others is of its opinion with the abolition of the vote abroad, but we need the constitutional equation in this matter, because the Federal Court was an obstacle to many of the articles included in this law, so the emphasis was on voting procedures abroad, so we made it exclusively by biometrics."
He also added, "The commission's opinion is the least possible period in which fingerprints match is within ten days, which is the least period that was included in the law and is not present in previous laws, so that there is fairness and transparency in the elections and away from fraud."
He added, “The issue of Iraq is one electoral constituency that is difficult to implement and needs a very high financial cost for the candidates. It is impossible for the candidate to cover his electoral campaign in all of Iraq. Therefore, the parliamentary system is based on multiple constituencies and the candidate’s proximity to his constituents, so the best is the multi-constituency system. Stations and registration centers at the district level, "noting that" the United Nations and its electoral team said we can hold elections at the level of multiple districts and train cadres in the new commission for a period of three months and made a commitment to that.

As new KRG passes 100-day milestone, public demand jobs and services
Iraq, December 12, 2019
ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – Job creation and the provision of basic services are the public’s top concerns, according to voters who spoke to Rudaw about the performance of the new Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) in its first 100 days.
Following a KRG report on its achievements to date, Prime Minister Masrour Barzani made a lengthy televised speech on Saturday detailing his government’s progress and restating the goal of fighting corruption, improving Erbil-Baghdad relations, and increasing domestic revenues.
Askander Mohammed, a civil servant in Erbil, thinks far more needs to be done to create jobs for young people and to diversify the economy to avoid a repeat of the recent financial crisis.
“The government has taken swift steps for [public] services including roads and the issuing of a set of regulations across government institutions,” Mohammed said on Wednesday.
However, the government “should diversify our national resources. If the KRG wants to avoid similar economic woes, this will be a great strategy”.
Aryan Adil, another government employee, also said job creation should top the government agenda.
“Job opportunities in the Kurdistan Region are still very poor, and we have not yet seen significant results from this cabinet to address this issue,” she complained.“One hundred days is too early for a result,” she conceded, but “as a young person and a citizen, I would love to see the conditions of our youth improve.”Shilan Sidiq, an activist in Halabja, told Rudaw: “Efforts to improve job prospects should be jumpstarted.”“Projects still only on paper need to materialize, and plans they’ve laid out should be carried out,” she added.
Ahmed Ail, a Peshmerga soldier in Duhok, shares the view that “a lot more important work for this poor nation needs to be done.”Some members of the public urged the government to prioritise the provision of basic services for the poorest in society.“Many people can’t even afford to pay their rent, let alone pay for heating oil if the government doesn’t provide it for them,” Ali said.“We don’t expect much from the government except tackling water, electricity, oil, kerosene and salary [issues]. This nation has suffered plenty,” Safar Chamani, another Peshmerga soldier in Duhok, added.
