link
The Sumo Oil Company announced that it faces a major challenge during the coming stage, which is preserving the oil customers of Iraq because of the price war
The Director General of SOMO Company, Alaa Al-Yasiri, said in an interview with the Iraqi satellite channel and followed by "Al-Iqtisad News", that Saudi Arabia informed the European countries of selling its oil in a reduced manner, and therefore Iraq may lose its place in the European and Asian markets, noting that there will be alternatives to oil in front of refineries and therefore may We do not find anyone buying oil because there is cheaper oil.
He explained that Iraq is targeting the Asian market, and the SOMO company, in the presence of Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi, fixed the prices so as not to lose the Indian and Chinese markets.
Al-Issawi: The coming days will witness the features of forming the new government
Deputy Governor of Anbar province, Faisal al-Issawi, confirmed on Wednesday that the Prime Minister-designate, Adnan Al-Zarfi, is acceptable to the Sunni home, indicating that the coming days will witness the features of forming the new government.
Al-Issawi said in a press statement that "some Sunni blocs showed great flexibility regarding the formation of the new government led by Adnan Al-Zarfi," noting that "Sunni and Kurdish forces have asked the Prime Minister-designate to expedite the presentation of his government program."
He added that "there are serious moves to solve things and that the coming days will witness the features of forming the new government," stressing that "Al-Zarfi enjoys great acceptance within the Sunni house."
The deputy of the Sadqoun parliamentary bloc, Muhammad al-Baldawi, had expected in a previous statement that the Sunni and Kurdish blocs stood next to the Shiite ranks who refused to assign al-Zarfi to head the government.

3-25-2020 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "THE IRAQI PRESIDENT TRANSMITS THREE AMERICAN DEMANDS TO ADNAN AL-ZARFI" Quote: "...the American demands are summarized in three axes: First: Reducing the role of the popular crowd (Iranian backed) and keeping it away from influencing the Iraqi political decision. Second: to keep the Iranian influence from penetrating into the political and economic life of Iraq through frank and direct negotiations with Iran about that. Third: Opening up to the Arab and regional ocean countries away from Iranian dictates." So we are seeing the effort on the part of the US to get Iran out of Iraq and out of Iraqi politics. We all should know by now this is the impeding element in any progress towards currency reform.

3-24-2020 Intel Guru Frank26 Question "Now that the auctions have been stopped..." You have to be careful with that. They've been stopped because of the curfew. Because of the virus. Will they come back? Will they come back different? Will they come back at the program rate? Will they come back with only their currency at a program rate or a new rate? This is where we're at with my teams... Question continues. "...in your opinion is Iraq implementing or planning their next course of action?" Yes. That's what our studies have all been. I believe their next course of action was to stop the auctions. To stop using the American dollar. BUT they did that! So I wonder what they're gonna do next - suddenly.

This is NOT what it is saying. Instead Mr. Schenker is just down playing the inference that the US is controlling Iraq by supporting the new candidate and a puppet to the US.

Source: University presidents have apologized for their candidacy for prime minister
3/24/24 14:44
[Baghdad-where]
A parliamentary source revealed, on Tuesday, that the Iraqi university presidents apologized for their candidacy for the prime minister, stressing that the university presidents informed the Shiite forces of this.
The source said in a press statement, "The university presidents informed the political forces of their apology for naming one of them as a substitute for Zarfi in individual messages after they were approached by the Seven Committee."
The source added that "after the apologists of the universities apologized, the compass of the forces rejecting Al-Zrafi went to search in the Judicial Institution because it has complete independence and is acceptable to the Iraqi street."
Informed sources revealed earlier the Shiite forces nominated the President of the University of Technology Ahmed al-Ghabban, Munir al-Saadi, former president of Al Ain University [Karbala], and Mohsen al-Dhalimi, former president of the University of Kufa, for the post of prime minister.

During an epidemic, do not go to the doctor’s office except in these cases
3/24/203 13:53
[Follow-up]
Many are wondering whether they should keep up with the periodic appointments of routine examinations in medical clinics, despite an outbreak of the Corona virus emerging?
A topic that concerns you? The Iraqi Ministry of Health announced, on Tuesday, the quarantine of all workers at Baladruz Hospital in Diyala Governorate, after one of the injuries ... Iraq ... a quarantine on a hospital after an Iraqi worker was injured ... a quarantine on a hospital after an employee was injured Iraq "WebMD" answers the question, saying that the most important thing to remember about the situation during the rapidly developing pandemic, and so the recommendations can be updated at any time. For example, in the latest set of recommendations, the White House urges all Americans to avoid gatherings of more than 10 people, so it may not be a good idea to sit in the waiting room of a doctor’s office or medical center with more than 10 people.
The most serious problem is that because some people may be carriers of the virus and feel no symptoms, it is not possible to know where the infectious conditions are. Therefore, everyone should act as if there is a danger present anywhere.
Cancellation or postponement of appointments
In general, at the present time, it is probably a good idea to cancel or postpone routine non-urgent visits to the doctor, including physical or periodic examinations.
Also, the best advice for those associated with regular appointments for cancer treatments, or for follow-up and care for pregnancy, for example, is to have a phone call to the doctor personally for advice on what to do without having to meet in person in person.
Protect a dentist and dental patient
Many dentists recommend delaying visits for routine care, such as checks, cleaning, and filling (especially since the transmission of the virus is a respiratory infection). Experts advise limiting the disclosures to emergency cases only, such as intolerable pain in the teeth or broken teeth as a result of a fall or accident, or severe infections and swelling of the gums, in order to preserve the safety of both the patient and the doctor at the same time.
The same applies to patients with the heart and respiratory system and all those who suffer from serious long-term health conditions as well, as they should not be present in places where there is a possibility of infection, even with a small percentage of infection. If the person has heart disease, a patient with organ transplants or other long-term conditions, he must contact the clinic of his attending physician to obtain his recommendations and to be informed of the results of any tests or x-rays, and consulted about any complications, and if it is necessary to sign a medical examination on the patient, It is in favorable conditions such as avoiding any congestion in the waiting room and the commitment of the staff of the clinic to all means of preventing infection.
No judgments or assumptions
It is very important that no patient resort to assumptions or make a decision without consulting a doctor. Follow-up must be followed up first with the specialist doctor to determine all procedures that maintain the patient's safety, whether by prescribing treatment through a means of communication or by checking face-to-face while adhering to the protection rules or advice to go to the nearest hospital or emergency room in sudden cases. Of course, if there are any symptoms of a corona infection such as fever, coughing, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, you should call the emergency numbers specified in the city or country, and medical care providers will make appropriate arrangements according to each case.
