Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi revealed, during his interview with the American newspaper "Washington Post", that he wants a diversified and democratic Iraq, and the newspaper described this as a "noble vision", but it is "fraught with dangers", as Iraq now and always stands on the fault line between Iran and the .world. Arabi Al-Kazemi said during an interview that took place in his office in Baghdad with the ".American newspaper: "Our region cannot fight more wars Al-Kadhimi hopes that the United States and Iran can agree on a new nuclear deal as a first step toward easing tensions.

But under Iranian pressure, an Iraqi court last month ordered the arrest of Abu Ragheef. Al-Kazemi refused. Execution of the order, but the scene was "depressing And the Washington Post continued, "The situation could worsen if the nuclear talks between the United States and Iran collapse, leaving Al-Kazemi in an uneasy position ",in the middle ".and a US official warned that if the talks collapse, "Iraq is likely to be a victim When I asked the American sage, Al-Kadhimi, what his schedule would be if he were to get a new mandate as prime minister, he immediately answered, "Strengthening Iraq's sovereignty." So that he can resist external attempts to manipulate the .country
His second goal is to "impose the state's monopoly on arms." He continued to .discuss economic reform and privatization The newspaper concluded, "Al-Kadhimi's goals are the right ones. But he will need help. This brings us back to the United States, which was at once Iraq's best and ".worst friend in recent decades

Landfill in Baghdad becomes livelihood source for many destitute Iraqis
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Sajjad Kaen, an 11-year-old Iraqi, is among many struggling to survive in Baghdad. He and his family search through waste and dumped items in a big landfill to find something to sell for money.
Kaen supports his family of ten by finding plastic items in the landfill which his father sells.
The family lives in the Topchi neighborhood in the capital, but they are encroaching on public property.
“I have [seven] daughters and one son. Their work is to collect plastic materials and cans. I do not have a salary at all,” the child’s father, Kaen Mahdi, told Rudaw’s Mustafa Goran on Wednesday. “Once every two weeks, I sell them for 25,000-30,000 dinars," he added.
Iraqis have faced a surge in prices as they entered the holy month of Ramadan, a fall in the buying power of Iraqi dinar and increasing unemployment. According to a report published by the Iraqi planning ministry last year, the population of Iraq has exceeded 40 million people, more than half of which are between the ages of 15 and 64 years old.
"The poverty rate in 2019 was 19 percent, a rate which went up in 2020 and 2021 to nearly 25 percent, due to health, social and economic situations," Abdulzahra Al-Hindawi, spokesperson of the Iraqi Planning Ministry said, explaining that "Muthanna is the poorest province in Iraq because poverty is at 52 percent in it, followed by Diwaniyah and Dhi Qar provinces."
The country has almost exclusively relied on oil revenues since the US invasion in 2003. Iraq gets nearly 95 percent of its income from oil sales.
The World Food Programme (WFP) representative in Iraq has previously said that about three million people in Iraq suffer from "insufficient food consumption.”
According to the planning ministry, unemployment has stood at 30 percent.

The US Energy Information Administration said that despite signs of continued global supply disruptions, US oil inventories rose by more than 9 million barrels last week, driven in part by releases from the country's strategic reserves
