Yesterday, Tahrir Square witnessed the return of the Sadrist owners of the Sadrist movement to the square to protect the demonstrators, after they withdrew from them last Tuesday. The return of the blue hats owners to the Tahrir Square came to represent a strong motivation for the demonstrators after the past days witnessed a decline in their numbers.
In Dhi Qar Governorate, the demonstrators closed vital bridges in the center of the province. A security source in the governorate said, "The demonstrators closed the bridges of victory, civilizations and the small bears, in addition to keeping the olive bridge closed since the beginning of this month." He added that "closing the bridges comes within the framework of preventing employees from joining the official working hours in their departments."
In the rest of the provinces, the demonstration squares in Babel, Karbala, Najaf, Diwaniyah, Muthanna, Wasit, Maysan, and Basra witnessed the presence of demonstrators in the sit-in places in order to continue to put pressure on the political authorities for the purpose of responding to their legitimate requests.
On the other hand, informed political sources revealed that «President Barham Saleh decided to extend the constitutional deadline for choosing an alternative to Abdul-Mahdi until next Sunday based on the arrival of Abdul-Mahdi’s resignation book to the presidency. She explained that "this extension will give room for everyone to choose a new prime minister who will be accepted by political blocs and demonstrators alike."
In this regard, Parliamentarian Muhammad Al-Khalidi stated, "A group of deputies sent yesterday a letter to President Saleh that includes the nomination of former Minister of Communications Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi as prime minister." Al-Khalidi added that this choice came after meeting with the demonstrators and members of parliament and listening to their opinions and visions of the candidate, which was very popular. He continued, "We will work to send another supplement with new signatures to the President of the Republic, as we did not complete the signatures, the day before yesterday, due to the preoccupation with the issue of the electoral law." In the same context, a well-informed source revealed that the "Saeron" alliance of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, has no objection to assigning Tawfiq Allawi to form the next government.
Meanwhile, Salim Hamza, a member of the Legal Committee in Parliament, called for a speedy settlement of the name of the candidate for the position of Prime Minister, warning of a "big problem" and a constitutional and administrative vacuum. He said: “In the event that the period specified constitutionally for assigning a candidate for prime minister ends, the President of the Republic will take over the functions of the Prime Minister, but he will not be able to nominate the names of new ministers or receive any names for candidates for ministries,” noting that “this situation makes us need to expedite the resolution of the name of a candidate The prime minister, so that we do not fall into a constitutional, governmental and administrative vacuum, as it is a big problem.

The 'Made in Iraq' campaign surprises Jordan and cuts exports
Editing Date: 12/20/2019
{International: Al Furat News} Jordanian economic reports said today, Thursday, that the rate of exports of their products to Iraq decreased during the past article.
Although Jordanian exports continued to grow during the first nine months of this year, exports to Iraq were declining, which specialists attributed to the security situation on the one hand due to the demonstrations in the country and the imposition of customs duties by the Iraqi side on Jordanian goods and products on the other hand.
Jordanian exports to Iraq decreased by 8% during the first nine months of this year, while exports increased by 7.8% during the same period.
General statistics show that the value of Jordanian exports to Iraq fell during the first nine months of this year to 306 million dinars, compared to 333 million dinars compared to the same period last year, recording a decrease of 27 million dinars.
And the foreign trade index started since the beginning of the current year between Jordan and Iraq, due to the decline in Jordanian exports, whose volume began to decrease since last March compared to the same period last year despite the signing of a package of agreements and memoranda of understanding related to economic affairs and the reopening of the land border crossing between The two countries.
Jordan and Iraq agreed, during the month of February (February) last, on broad economic files, the most important of which is the implementation of the decision to exempt 344 Jordanian commodities from Iraqi fees and the project to extend the oil pipeline, industrial zone, transport, electricity, agriculture, communications and information technology, and it was on the sidelines of Prime Minister Omar Razzaz’s visit to Baghdad.
In turn, the head of the Jordan Chamber of Industry, Fathi Al-Jaghbir, said that "the security situation in Iraq has cast a shadow over the volume of national exports, as it decreased during the first nine months of this year by 8% compared to the same period last year."
And Al-Jaghbir indicated that the Chamber is making great efforts to restore economic and trade relations with Iraq to its former era, as the Chamber organizes continuous visits to the Iraqi market in order to network and discover opportunities in various sectors.
Al-Jaghbir stressed that the private sector views Iraq as an important partner in various fields, leading to economic integration that achieves the common interests of both countries.
He explained that the Chamber had recently held a meeting with the President of the Iraqi Industries Federation, as it was agreed to work together to promote Jordanian products in Iraq and promote Iraqi products in the Kingdom.
The President of the Chamber expected that national exports to Iraq will witness a noticeable increase during the coming period, especially after the return of security stability to Iraq and the export incentives package that he presented to the industrial sector recently, stressing that Jordanian products are able to compete and meet the needs of this market of various commodities and of high quality.
"The security situation and the instability in Iraq have caused a decline in national exports," said Ehab Qadri, official of the export file to Iraq in the Jordan Chamber of Industry.
And Qadri said that there is a state of anticipation that prevails among the exporters until the return of stability to Iraq, stressing that the Jordanian industry is ready to meet the needs of the Iraqi market of various products with high quality.
He explained that the chamber seeks to enhance the benefit from the economic agreements that were signed with the Iraqi side, especially the decision to implement the exemption of 345 commodities from Iraqi fees by organizing trade missions to Baghdad and exploring opportunities and trying to network with Iraqi merchants and importers.
"The decline in export to the Iraqi market is due to several reasons, the most important of which is the tendency of the Iraqi government to protect its industries by imposing customs duties on goods that were exempt from customs duties," said Musa al-Saket, deputy head of the Amman Chamber of Industry, head of the "Made in Jordan" campaign.
And Al-Saket indicated that many Jordanian exporters were surprised at the recent imposition of customs duties by the Iraqi government on goods that were on the lists of exempted goods and customs duties were imposed on them.
He called on the government to need to intensify communication with the Iraqi government to ensure that customs duty exemption is applied to Jordanian products in addition to conducting a review of all agreements in order to evaluate them to build on strengths and address weaknesses.
Al-Saket said that the Iraqi market is one of the important markets that it is counting on to increase national exports during the coming period and return it to its previous era, especially since it was holding 20%of the total national exports before 2010.
The representative of the food industries sector in the Jordan Chamber of Industry, Muhammad Walid Al-Jitan stressed that the Iraqi market is one of the important traditional markets that is seen to increase national exports during the coming period, especially since there are great opportunities for Jordanian industry to compete within this market.
And the Devil indicated that the industrial sector seeks to increase trade exchange with its sister Iraq and return it to its previous era, noting that there are more than 15 factories established in the Kingdom for the purposes of exporting to the Iraqi market.
Jordanian exports to Iraq reached their peak in 2013 to reach 882 million dinars, while in 2016 they declined to a level of 330 million dinars.
The Jordanian Minister of Industry, Trade and Supply Tariq Al-Hamouri said in previous statements, "The ministry is in continuous contact with neighboring Iraq and seeks to solve all technical obstacles that prevent the increase of trade exchange between the two countries."
Al-Hamouri indicated that there are joint committees between the two countries that hold periodic meetings of what has been agreed to improve and address any problems that may occur during implementation, stressing that Jordan views the neighboring Iraq as a true partner and access to economic integration that achieves the mutual benefits of the two parties.

Kuwait announced it to its own people first almost 10 days before they announced it internationally. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned
12-19-2019 Intel Guru Frank26 ...IMO a rate and a date for that budget has been given. IMO it started with the receipt to receive the new small category notes and then they got a schedule with the dates. The dates IMO talked about the monetary reform. They also talked about where the rate will be used. In another place would be the budget...The budget and the reinstatement have been established. Tested. Recalculated. Ready to come...'We've been ordered to lift the 3 zeros and add value to our currency'...
12-19-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana Those three items - New Prime Minister, Article 140, and Baghdad and KRG agreeing so peacefully on a number for the Budget, are all GREAT for seeing the HCL move, and that's what we need to open the path for an increase in the exchange rate. Fingers crossed for HCL news, because when that hits the press...it's probably a done deal at that time. We could be a couple weeks out from a huge change. This is all coming together at the same general time, and the combination is exciting. GO HCL. GO RV. GO IRAQ! [post 3 of 3]
12-19-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana At this time, we have a Budget that is on track, including full agreement that the KRG will pay their share of the budget with 250,000 barrels of oil. Article 140, related to some disputed territories, is front and center again. This is an issue that won't be completely resolved immediately, but it doesn't need to be. "80% done is done enough" on that matter for us to see the HCL move. [post 2 of 3....stay tuned]

12-19-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana This update is one of the most optimistic ones I've had the pleasure of writing in quite some time. We're transitioning into the next scene for Iraq, and it's happening now...When the rioting was in full force, I stated that we were in for a bit of a wait. Turns out it was only a couple months. The next step is to place someone in the Prime Minister position, and that looks like it's going to happen fairly quick. [post 1 of 3....stay tuned]
12-18-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat They do not know the international rate exactly but the CBI was told years ago that the fair value of the dinar for international trading could be expected around $3.50+. Remember this is the rate mostly for the US based on the US dollar if you were to exchange the dinar in the US. Other countries will base it off their own currency. Remember this is not talking about the rate in Iraq for everyday rate and use. [post 2 of 2]

[Baghdad-where]
On Thursday, Secretary General of the Babylonian Movement, Rayan Al-Chaldani, proposed that the "resigned" Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi be kept until early elections.
Al-Chaldani said, in a tweet on his account on "Twitter" today, that "after the difficulty of arriving at a new candidate, he proposed to brothers and sisters in political alliances to keep Abdul-Mahdi doing business until early elections are held."
He added, "The constitution did not specify the age of the day-to-day government. It could be a year and it might be months, until the parliament votes on the new government."

Parliamentary: The delay in resolving the prime minister candidate will be a cause for foreign and regional interference
12/19/2019 21:30
[Baghdad-where]
The Saaron Alliance deputy, Riyadh Al-Masoudi, considered that the delay in deciding the candidate for prime minister would be a cause for foreign and regional interference.
Al-Masoudi said [where] that "the 15-day constitutional period for the nomination of a prime minister ended today; but because of the deep differences and the lack of a clear vision by the active political forces about what the government is and its future directions."
He added, "Therefore, there is a vision waiting for the beginning of next week for the political forces to reach clearer understandings," noting that "this delay is due to real pressures by the Iraqi street and the lack of understandings of the political forces."
Al-Masoudi continued, "Most of the blocs made clear a set of determinants and criteria by which the candidate for prime minister could be named," noting that "the term of resignation did not appear in the Iraqi constitution, so these are new stations that require new visions as well."
He pointed out, "The presence of different visions stemming from the multiplicity of political forces, and we are in a walking alliance, which showed that the largest bloc is the Iraqi people and that Article [5] of the constitution clarifies that the people are the source of powers, and the demonstration arenas have also shown a set of demands."
Al-Masoudi added, "The next prime minister should be independent, strong and resolute, capable of creating the appropriate conditions for free and fair elections in which two principles are realized, the first is participation and the second is clear representation of all regions of Iraq."
He explained that "the problem of the problem lies in the constitution, as it is clear that the president of the republic is assigned according to Article [76], the largest bloc candidate in number, therefore this is taking place when elections are held, and the House of Representatives is the one who votes on it, and from this standpoint some fear that political gains will be lost and some blocs want to She puts her vision on the person of the next prime minister, but provided that no more ministries and gains are lost. "
Al-Masoudi noted that "there are several variables that are pressing towards the political forces, but in the end these forces will acquiesce with a strong personality capable of facing the great challenges and crisis."
Al Masoudi concluded by saying, "It is not possible in any way to take all what is presented in the arenas or by the political blocs; but everyone today sets general frameworks for this character, therefore we believe that this delay will be a cause for foreign and regional interference," stressing that "the delay is not in favor of the process." Politics and we do not want to deal with the mistakes with bigger mistakes. We have to be careful to reach convincing options for the Iraqi street and the political and credible powers of the countries of the world. "

Sheikh Al-Karbalai read the text of what was received from the office of Sayyid al-Sistani in Najaf, during the Friday sermon today from Karbala. The text reads as follows:
"In the name of of Allah the Merciful"
The country is still living in difficult and worrisome conditions, as different groups of citizens continue to participate in peaceful demonstrations and sit-ins demanding reform, while some of its actors are subjected to assassination, kidnapping and threat, and in return many government departments and educational institutions are forced to close their doors without the necessity of calling for Moreover, the property of some citizens is subjected to burning and vandalism, and many complain about the weakness of the state's prestige and some rebel against the laws and regulations regulating public life in the country without deterrence or objection.

"
He added, "We have indicated in a previous sermon that the people are the source of powers and from which they derive their legitimacy - as stipulated by the constitution - and accordingly the nearest and safest way to get out of the current crisis and avoid going to the unknown, chaos or internal fighting - God forbid - is to return to the people. By holding early elections, after legislating a fair law for them, and forming an independent commission to conduct them, and setting up an effective monitoring mechanism at all stages of its work that will restore confidence in the electoral process.
"But it is noticeable that the approval of the election law has been hindered to this day, and the dispute over some of its main articles has been aggravated, and here we reaffirm the need to expedite its approval and to be consistent with the aspirations of the voters, bring them closer to their representatives, take care of the inviolability of their votes and not allow circumvention. The adoption of a law is not As such, it will not help overcome the current crisis. "
Sheikh Al-Karbalai pointed out that "if the election law is approved in the acceptable manner, the role comes to intellectual elites and national competencies who want political action to organize their ranks and prepare their programs to advance the country and solve its worsening problems within the framework of studied practical plans, in order to be ready to present it to the voters in the election time, Competition education is carried out not on the basis of regional, tribal, or sectarian affiliations of the candidates, but in view of their competence and qualifications and what programs they have applicable to cross the country into a better future, in the hope that the next parliament and the government It emanates from the role required of them in carrying out the necessary reforms to eliminate the consequences of corruption, quotas and the absence of social justice in the previous period.
"In conclusion, we hope that the formation of the new government, which must be a non-controversial government, responds to the requirements of the current stage, and be able to restore the state's prestige and calm the situation, and hold the upcoming elections in a calm atmosphere far from the side effects of money or illegal weapons," he said. And on foreign interference, God is the guardian of success. "
