Iraq: The demonstrators talk about "prioritizing" and warn against the consequences of ignoring their demands
Iraqi demonstrators warned their country’s authority not to “ignore their legitimate demands” under the pretext of being preoccupied with fighting the Corona epidemic, blaming it for arrests among the activists of the movement.
This came in a statement issued by the General Political Council for the Iraqi Revolutionaries, which adopted the demands of the demonstrators, on Wednesday, and was supported by Alaa al-Rikabi, the most prominent activist of the movement in Nasiriyah, in addition to the tents of the Baghdad Liberation Square, according to the activist Hassan Ragab, one of the demonstrators in Baghdad.
The statement accused those who described them as "corrupt" in the authority by practicing "methods of intimidation against demonstrators in the sit-in squares", blaming the official authorities for what the activists will be exposed to during the arrest campaigns, the last of which was in Samawah and Babel.
"When the revolutionaries devoted their efforts to activating the charitable campaigns to meet the need of the needy families who were affected by the curfew, the government abandoned its primary role in supporting the deserving groups of the Iraqi people ..." the statement said. He pointed out that they dealt with "disciplined awareness in the order of priority and stopped the revolutionary activity against the corrupt, due to the Coronavirus, in the interest of the people and contented themselves with the sit-in in the squares."
They said in the exhibition: "They are delusional about those who think that the October Revolution may abandon its goals, betray the blood of hundreds of martyrs, and neglect the suffering of thousands of wounded."
They also indicated that they are "always a sacrifice project in order to support the people, as they expose themselves to the possibility of infection with the Corona virus during their wandering in the neighborhoods and alleys to help everyone."
And they warned the authority, which they describe as "corrupt", from "their departure from their dream and their anger," which they said would "lead to unimaginable consequences and accelerate their removal from your positions, which should be done sooner or later."
And on whether the epidemic weakened their mobility, their statement stated that "their principles are not altered by a virus, and are not affected by time or place."
Parliamentary Committee: the federal budget for Iraq for 2020 will be approved for only five monthslink
Member of the Finance Committee of the Iraqi Parliament, MP Muhammad Sahib Al Daraji, confirmed today, Thursday, that the federal budget for 2020 will be approved for only five months.
Al-Daraji said in a statement to the Iraqi News Agency (INA), "The options currently in place under the caretaker government are the payment of salaries and operational matters according to the 1/12 mechanism," noting that "the 2020 budget will be sent to the parliament after the formation of the new government and will be approved for five months ".
He added that "the new government will review the budget before sending it to parliament," noting that "approval of the budget will need more than a month in Parliament."
And on the government of the Prime Minister-designate Mustafa al-Kazemi, MP Muhammad Sahib al-Darraji commented, “The success of the al-Kazemi government depends on the latter's departure from the interference of political blocs by imposing the names of the ministerial cabinet,” noting that “Al-Kazemi is passed in Parliament if he provides a ministerial cabinet that is free from the interference of political blocs.”
The financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Mohamed Saleh, had previously stressed the need to go in the short term to legislate an emergency budget, which provides financial sustainability at this stage and meets the necessary needs.

The citizens are complaining and want fresher notes. Actually, they want the lower denominations and hopes of getting the currency of the past once again. So, this “project to delete the zeros” is still on the table and pressure to get it done might (I said might) bring us the reinstatement earlier than expected, but at a more gradual rate and maybe not pop out at the over $3.00+ but rather maybe just under $1.00...

The negotiations with the political blocs to agree on them is done before the speaker of the house will even bring it to a vote. ...a parliamentary source suggested that the parliament would convene NEXT WEEK to vote on the cabinet of Prime Minister-designate Mustafa Al-Kazemi.

"The Tiger Cow" is a challenge sweeping the Internet

After the huge success of the documentary series "Tiger King" on Netflix, the fever "Jo Exotech", the main character in the work, invaded various countries of the world and prompted many to compete with each other through an online challenge, to imitate him.
After the huge success of the documentary series "Tiger King" on Netflix, the fever "Jo Exotech", the main character in the work, invaded various countries of the world and prompted many to compete with each other through an online challenge, to imitate him.
The Tiger King series documents the crimes and conflicts in the world of "big cats" breeders, and owners of private zoos.
The documentary focuses on Joseph, nicknamed "Joe Exotic," the owner of an Oklahoma zoo in America, and has been known for his multiple marriages and his love for weapons - before he was arrested for intentional homicide.
Because of the distinctive look of Joe and his molar haircut that became popular in the 1990s, a challenge emerged on the Internet, in which people competed to appear as nearly as possible as tiger breeders.
Perhaps the funniest contestant, Kyle Harris and Jeffrey Cast, who painted a cow with black stripes with a non-toxic paint, became a tiger.
The two friends wore two hats and clothes similar to what he wore, and they tried to lengthen their hair and dye it yellow, and they also got the "mustache" that he was famous for.
The image in which the two were positioned with the "cow tiger" won the admiration of many on social media, as it was liked and published thousands of times.
The funny challenge continues to sweep the Internet until now, but the most important thing that many "competitors" stress is the need not to harm animals while participating in it.
