He also stressed that “his country will intervene directly if he does not submit his resignation within the next two days.”

Kurdish source: Nuri al-Maliki allowed Peshmerga to extend for a share of oil smuggler

Revealed a leader in the Kurdish National Union Party about a deal was the former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki had held with the President of the Kurdistan region Massoud Barzani, while planning for a second term in 2010

The Kurdish leader said that a secret agreement signed between Maliki and Barzani stipulates that Maliki get a percentage of Kurdish oil smuggled, and be a partner with the Barzani family in the proceeds of oil smuggling, either from Kirkuk or the region in exchange for allowing the expansion of the Peshmerga in the disputed areas, and that gave a pledge Barzani has joined Kirkuk in Kurdistan and turned a blind eye to the impoverishment of the main neighborhoods of the oil-rich city.

The source pointed to the leaks of a private dialogue between Barzani and Maliki in 2010, in which the latter said that the western region of Iraq does not mean much, and is sure that Anbar, Nineveh, Diyala and Kirkuk will not be under the control of Baghdad, and is ready to give up those areas, To choose any area to be included in Kurdistan in exchange for the Kurds support Maliki in keeping him at the head of the executive authority in Iraq,

A leader in the National Alliance said that Maliki is in a state of hysteria because of political gains achieved by Abadi, and that he was disappointed with any victory in the upcoming elections due to the broad popularity of Abadi as a result of his skill in dealing with the referendum crisis and his success in restoring the disputed areas, Without armed clashes with the Peshmerga.

The source, who preferred to keep his name to avoid embarrassment, that Maliki continues contacts with Iranian leaders in search of an opportunity to restore some of the presence in the Iraqi Shiite circles, seeking the leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his adviser Qassem Soleimani support in the upcoming elections, The existence of an international conspiracy to postpone the elections and keep Abbadi two more years in office.

The source said Maliki asked Kassim Soleimani if ​​Iran would continue to support Abadi and provide a basket of gains to the Iraqi prime minister to ensure his political future? How is Iran’s support for Abadi balanced with Turkish and American support? Sulaimani replied: “Ebadi managed the crisis with the mentality of the state man and achieved a rare state of balance between all parties, and he deserves all of their support.”

BGG ~ So it becomes clearer and clearer as to why the Kurds didn’t use their critical “swing vote” against Maliki when they could have. Barzani was “on the take” and in bed with him all along…

I’m not sure I have much sympathy left for him these days…

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –  Articles:  “US banks, is considering working with Iraqi banks mechanism”   Iraqi bank delegation discusses cooperation opportunities in America”  I can’t state this enough, there is no overnight RV or any kind of cash out through banks. If these articles show us anything, it shows us that banks by nature take a conservative approach to dealing with Iraq. If and when Iraq is in compliance with the IMF and meets Article VIII, then I would expect a few US banks to begin to participate with Iraq for investment purposes. As that grows and the CBI demonstrates it can meet the needs and requirements, investment will increase opening the flood gates to investors. But this does not happen fast. As for us as investors, I have stated before, I believe we are just “watchers”. We will see the dinar begin to rise via float when appropriate. As for of cash out or exchanges would probably be through some type of currency broker/ ECN, market maker or investment firm. The problem is this all falls on Iraq to get moving. Without the new CBI law, deposit insurance law, Article VIII, etc. nothing happens.

Iraq’s Role in Countering The Islamic State’s Finances

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   When Abadi vs Maliki was happening, that was another major step for Iraq. Again, it wasn’t a promise of immediate RV, but let’s face it – a major change in value of the Dinar was never going to happen with Maliki at the helm. Maliki simply had no reason to act in Iraq’s best interest when he had such a huge ability to pilfer the system under his power. I firmly believe that Abadi is not like Maliki, and when he won that battle, our landscape changed for the better…but even that was not enough. There was still the issue of the HCL, which MUST be resolved before (or simultaneously with) an RV.   Now let’s look at today…this immediate point in time, where once again the rumor mills are churning and people are getting excited.  I’m going to make two specific statements right now, and I hope they stick:  1. None of the gurus can call the Date.   2. Despite #1 above, the current level of activity is not to be ignored. Things ARE happening.  [post 2 of 2]

Kirkuk: Asking the Next Big Questions

Will the Kurdish government join forces with the central Iraqi government in Baghdad to govern Kirkuk?

Before the ISF staged its operation, there had been rumors that the faction of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) party led by the Talabani family proposed jointly governing Kirkuk province with Baghdad. In seeming support of the rumors, the Talabani faction ordered Kurdish peshmerga fighters to withdraw and to allow ISF to retake some of the energy installations in the city. It’s still uncertain, however, if there’s a deal in place between the PUK and Baghdad to jointly manage the province’s government or its oil and natural gas resources. That a deal would exist makes sense given the longstanding divisions between the PUK and rival Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), which controls much of the economy in Iraqi Kurdistan.

Will Baghdad maintain control of Kirkuk’s oil exports?

It almost certainly will, at least in some capacity. For the last three years the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) has been able to export oil produced at the Bai Hassan oil field and the Avanah and Baba Gurgur formations of the Kirkuk oil field, given it had effectively appropriated and incorporated the fields into its own energy sector. The federal government is now in control of those fields and could use them in negotiations with the KRG. But, though Baghdad plans to rebuild its own pipeline to export oil from Kirkuk,
right now all export infrastructure from the city goes through Kurdish-controlled territory, which could complicate Baghdad’s ability to sell the oil Kirkuk produces. Baghdad, recognizing its constraints, could offer the KRG joint administration of the oil resources or continue transit contracts with it to distribute Iraq’s oil wealth. Alternatively, it could shut off production in Kirkuk to increase financial pressure on the Kurdish government. Thus, there’s the chance that Iraq’s northern oil exports — which amount to around 550,000
barrels per day — could decline by as much as 300,000 bpd. In the long run, Baghdad hopes to boost Kirkuk’s production to above 1 million bpd.

What will KRG President Massoud Barzani and his party, the KDP, do next?

The loss of control over parts of Kirkuk will weaken the KRG’s position, but it will weaken the KDP even more. Barzani was already facing criticism for extending his presidential mandate that originally was set to end in August 2015. Though he has supported parliamentary and presidential elections scheduled for Nov. 1, it’s not clear that they will actually be held. To rebuild some of his support, Barzani could tap into nationalistic sentiments by painting pro-PUK segments of the peshmerga, which withdrew from Kirkuk when Baghdad entered, as traitors and by holding fast to his calls for Kurdish independence from Iraq. It’s more likely, however, that the weakened KDP will reduce its demands on Baghdad to facilitate negotiations…

Kurdish list calls Barzani to apologize and end his “political life”

Baghdad today – The Kurdish new generation called on Monday for Barzani to apologize to the people of Kurdistan and immediately resign from his post, ending his political life, while threatening to resort to the street.

The list said in a statement that “Barzani and the leadership of the five ruling parties in the region must submit their resignations immediately, because they are the cause of the current situation,” indicating that “if the regional leaders did not recognize responsibility for these events, they will seek to move the street to end this government Failed “.

The list added that “the events of Kirkuk have shed the curtain on the situation in Kurdistan, and showed that the traditional parties have failed to deliver our people to safety, but on the contrary they put the Kurds in a dark spiral, and the failure in Kirkuk back to that political elite controlling the political life In Kurdistan since the early eighties of the last century. ”

According to the statement, “what is happening now is only the preliminary results of the referendum, which Massoud Barzani insisted on the September 25, 2017 with the help of political parties and their traditional leadership, and the exclusion of advice and suggestions of friends of our people at home and abroad and to make personal interests above the higher interests of the people of Kurdistan” .

The list demanded “the removal of the government of Najran Barzani, the acceleration of the formation of an interim government does not organize traditional political figures, and the new government in cooperation with the United Nations to prepare for the elections of the parliament of Kurdistan in accordance with international standards,” noting that “the Kurdish people face a serious dilemma, In which everyone will critically examine the new reality and hold accountable those responsible for these events. ”

BGG ~ While I doubt very much Barzani jumps up and resigns today because one of the fringe opposition parties says he should…

…this is exactly the developing narrative I outlined from very early on. This referendum had NOTHING to do with Kurdish independence and EVERYTHING to do with KRG internal politics.

All of which is why you saw the Gorran/PUK support for the vote softening in the last week leading up to the referendum. They had it figured from very early on. They had an idea of what the U.S. deal looked like. They knew Barzani passed on their GOLDEN TICKET. Why? Simple.

The Kurdish GOLDEN TICKET didn’t include Barzani as the regional President anymore… in fact, the documents referred to his role “post-Presidency”. It looks like, at this point, he had no intention of bowing out of the KRG ruling class during this next electoral cycle. It was all lies.

Let’s see which way he jumps next.

They quit fighting and US pulled out… leaving a void…and everything went to hell in a hand basket.” Yes, you are correct.  Obama did not want this to take place until Hillary lost the election… The only reason he did not pull the trigger on it sooner, was because Iraq wanted and needed a higher rate, and he didn’t want to give it.  Bottom line – It’s all been politics!… Speaking of Rate: We understand that Iraq has been given option to choose their Rate with Trump. So, the Range is 2.00 to 3.71. The only way to know what it will be, is wait until it comes out… Some say .10 cents and float it up…. Well, Kuwait did that and for that very reason, this will not happen. Kuwait had a government that operated better than Iraq does even today… And when Kuwait floated their currency, it hurt the progress economically of Kuwait. It went too high too quickly, and then on the way down, it nearly crippled the country until it finally stabilized around 3.60.   [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]

US report: Baghdad’s control of Kirkuk shattered Barzani’s dream

Baghdad today – The Iraqi army’s control of oil-rich Kirkuk has shattered the Kurds’ dream of an independent state at least in the near future. The new entity also faces strong opposition from Iran, Turkey and the Arab states, according to a report by the Center for Middle East Studies in Washington.

“Baghdad and Erbil can reach a compromise for the Kurdish crisis through negotiations after the end of the military operation in Kirkuk,” the center said in a report published on Monday evening.

The report revealed the existence of “an error in the calculations by both parties on the basis that the Iraqi Prime Minister Haider Abadi, expected to retreat Kurdish leader Massoud Barzani for the project of Kurdistan, moving towards Kirkuk yesterday, while the provincial president did not expect to resort to Baghdad Military solution “.

“Assuming that the military operation in Kirkuk is limited and will not develop into a long Arab-Kurdish conflict, Baghdad and Erbil need to begin planning for the future,” the report said.

“Now, amid Arbil’s desire for secession and Baghdad’s insistence on Iraq’s unity, there can be political and constitutional arrangements that will be a field of research between the two sides when they sit together to negotiate their future relations.”

The report also said that Erbil would not be able to establish an independent entity without Iran’s approval, given Tehran’s wide security and political influence in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon.

The conclusion of the report: “For Iran, the establishment of an independent Kurdish state means the existence of an entity of Israel on its borders .. Israel has confirmed this trend because it is the only country that supported the referendum for the separation of the Kurdistan region from Iraq.

Kirkuk: Asking the Next Big Questions

Will the Kurdish government join forces with the central Iraqi government in Baghdad to govern Kirkuk?

Before the ISF staged its operation, there had been rumors that the faction of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) party led by the Talabani family proposed jointly governing Kirkuk province with Baghdad. In seeming support of the rumors, the Talabani faction ordered Kurdish peshmerga fighters to withdraw and to allow ISF to retake some of the energy installations in the city. It’s still uncertain, however, if there’s a deal in place between the PUK and Baghdad to jointly manage the province’s government or its oil and natural gas resources. That a deal would exist makes sense given the longstanding divisions between the PUK and rival Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), which controls much of the economy in Iraqi Kurdistan.

Will Baghdad maintain control of Kirkuk’s oil exports?

It almost certainly will, at least in some capacity. For the last three years the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) has been able to export oil produced at the Bai Hassan oil field and the Avanah and Baba Gurgur formations of the Kirkuk oil field, given it had effectively appropriated and incorporated the fields into its own energy sector. The federal government is now in control of those fields and could use them in negotiations with the KRG. But, though Baghdad plans to rebuild its own pipeline to export oil from Kirkuk,
right now all export infrastructure from the city goes through Kurdish-controlled territory, which could complicate Baghdad’s ability to sell the oil Kirkuk produces. Baghdad, recognizing its constraints, could offer the KRG joint administration of the oil resources or continue transit contracts with it to distribute Iraq’s oil wealth. Alternatively, it could shut off production in Kirkuk to increase financial pressure on the Kurdish government. Thus, there’s the chance that Iraq’s northern oil exports — which amount to around 550,000
barrels per day — could decline by as much as 300,000 bpd. In the long run, Baghdad hopes to boost Kirkuk’s production to above 1 million bpd.

What will KRG President Massoud Barzani and his party, the KDP, do next?

The loss of control over parts of Kirkuk will weaken the KRG’s position, but it will weaken the KDP even more. Barzani was already facing criticism for extending his presidential mandate that originally was set to end in August 2015. Though he has supported parliamentary and presidential elections scheduled for Nov. 1, it’s not clear that they will actually be held. To rebuild some of his support, Barzani could tap into nationalistic sentiments by painting pro-PUK segments of the peshmerga, which withdrew from Kirkuk when Baghdad entered, as traitors and by holding fast to his calls for Kurdish independence from Iraq. It’s more likely, however, that the weakened KDP will reduce its demands on Baghdad to facilitate negotiations…

Kurdish list calls Barzani to apologize and end his “political life”

Baghdad today – The Kurdish new generation called on Monday for Barzani to apologize to the people of Kurdistan and immediately resign from his post, ending his political life, while threatening to resort to the street.

The list said in a statement that “Barzani and the leadership of the five ruling parties in the region must submit their resignations immediately, because they are the cause of the current situation,” indicating that “if the regional leaders did not recognize responsibility for these events, they will seek to move the street to end this government Failed “.

The list added that “the events of Kirkuk have shed the curtain on the situation in Kurdistan, and showed that the traditional parties have failed to deliver our people to safety, but on the contrary they put the Kurds in a dark spiral, and the failure in Kirkuk back to that political elite controlling the political life In Kurdistan since the early eighties of the last century. ”

According to the statement, “what is happening now is only the preliminary results of the referendum, which Massoud Barzani insisted on the September 25, 2017 with the help of political parties and their traditional leadership, and the exclusion of advice and suggestions of friends of our people at home and abroad and to make personal interests above the higher interests of the people of Kurdistan” .

The list demanded “the removal of the government of Najran Barzani, the acceleration of the formation of an interim government does not organize traditional political figures, and the new government in cooperation with the United Nations to prepare for the elections of the parliament of Kurdistan in accordance with international standards,” noting that “the Kurdish people face a serious dilemma, In which everyone will critically examine the new reality and hold accountable those responsible for these events. ”

BGG ~ While I doubt very much Barzani jumps up and resigns today because one of the fringe opposition parties says he should…

…this is exactly the developing narrative I outlined from very early on. This referendum had NOTHING to do with Kurdish independence and EVERYTHING to do with KRG internal politics.

All of which is why you saw the Gorran/PUK support for the vote softening in the last week leading up to the referendum. They had it figured from very early on. They had an idea of what the U.S. deal looked like. They knew Barzani passed on their GOLDEN TICKET. Why? Simple.

The Kurdish GOLDEN TICKET didn’t include Barzani as the regional President anymore… in fact, the documents referred to his role “post-Presidency”. It looks like, at this point, he had no intention of bowing out of the KRG ruling class during this next electoral cycle. It was all lies.

Let’s see which way he jumps next.

Why didn’t Kurdish Forces Fight Back the Iraqi Invasion​ of Kirkuk?

BGG:

1) Because it wasn’t an invasion.

2) Because it wasn’t theirs to start with.

3) Because if they had the advance warning (as they insisted they did – and passed it to Maliki) regarding ISIS, why didn’t they fight back early on then – same reason??

A lot of Iraqis, Kurdish and Yizidi people paid a very dear price for all the political big-wigs letting this ISIS thing all play out.

4) Because if they don’t (fight back) – they stand to gain far more from the international community (they really should have inked the deal already – had Barzani been looking out for the interests of the people and not just his own@$$ ).

Randy Koonce (Dinar Guru) –   …Iraq needs a currency. That is a fact. But, before they could address the needed currency, they first needed to get their country to a position of feeling safe. Stability and Security. So, the US agreed, and has assisted Iraq on clearing ISIS out of Iraq… Did that mean they had to do that in order to RV? NO! This was the preference of what IRAQ wanted to do, prior to establishing an international, valuable currency. So, the US also wanted the defeat of ISIS to be complete. For that reason, the next ‘Window’ for watching for a change in their rate will start on Tuesday, October 17, of this week and go to the end of the month.. The greatest pressure for this to happen will be this week… Please understand: There is NO back door on the time frame for the RV to occur. The pressure is coming from the Void of any money in Iraq. They need to get commerce moving, and increasing the value of their money will make that happen. …The RV will assist in furthering the whole Security and Stability issue.  So the pressure is on. Why do I give a ‘window’ verses an exact time? Because i do not control this thing. If I did, it would have happened a LONG time ago!…  [post 1 of 3….stay tuned]

BGG ~ While I doubt very much Barzani jumps up and resigns today because one of the fringe opposition parties says he should…

…this is exactly the developing narrative I outlined from very early on. This referendum had NOTHING to do with Kurdish independence and EVERYTHING to do with KRG internal politics.

All of which is why you saw the Gorran/PUK support for the vote softening in the last week leading up to the referendum. They had it figured from very early on. They had an idea of what the U.S. deal looked like. They knew Barzani passed on their GOLDEN TICKET. Why? Simple.

The Kurdish GOLDEN TICKET didn’t include Barzani as the regional President anymore… in fact, the documents referred to his role “post-Presidency”. It looks like, at this point, he had no intention of bowing out of the KRG ruling class during this next electoral cycle. It was all lies.

Let’s see which way he jumps next.

Iraq’s Role in Countering The Islamic State’s Finances

Ali Mohsen al-Alaq, the governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, discusses his organization’s efforts to cut off and isolate financial institutions in territory controlled by the Islamic State following the terrorist group’s creation in 2014. As authorities push IS out of its core territory, investigating and disrupting its remaining financial networks in Iraq can help weaken its ability to operate as a terrorist organization and insurgency.

BGG ~ The main thing we can gather from this article is, Maliki was not “elected” leader of the National Alliance – or Iraq. This is still referring to Hakim in an active role as their leader. Further – other articles have revealed Ameri as being the only current nominated candidate to replace Hakim (for now).

Al-Nusseiri hails the Central Bank’s actions in developing and reforming the banking sector

The economic and banking adviser, Samir Nusairi, praised the developmental and reform measures carried out by the Central Bank of Iraq two years ago to meet the challenges faced by Iraqi banks because of the economic and financial crisis experienced by Iraq.

Al-Nusairi said during his participation in the symposium held by the Higher Institute for Accounting and Financial Studies at the University of Baghdad entitled “The requirements of financial and monetary reform in Iraq under the direction of the International Monetary Fund” and attended by “Economy News”, “The Central Bank of Iraq has taken the measures of evolution and reform two years ago to meet the challenges Which suffer from the Iraqi banks because of the economic and financial crisis experienced by Iraq because of falling oil prices and the war on terrorism and structural and structural imbalance in the management of the economy, “noting that” despite the Central Bank to prepare and launch a strategy for the years (2016-2020), which included primary and secondary objectives to achieve financial stability and develop the banking system in accordance with new mechanisms and work points. However, this does not prevent the Bank from adopting visions and proposals through the Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance analyzing the current and expected financial position of the banks (2017-2020) To activate the economic cycle in all areas and to develop a proactive plan to prevent bankruptcy and the collapse of some banks and the maintenance of the wheel of banking under the current circumstances and the use of new mechanisms and tools for monetary policy applications.

He added that “the current banking financing structure is plagued by many failures and obstacles and in order to increase credit and total funding from banks and to activate their contribution to various aspects of investment and reconstruction and to push the development process and move the economic cycle in Iraq, we see a serious step is to re-examine the policy of lending and bank financing and activating the optimization of financing private projects Small and medium as a social and economic objective with special priority and urgent and that the Central Bank of Iraq has an effective supervisory and supervisory role. ”

He pointed out “the importance of activating the role of government banks, specialized banks and private banks to provide easy loans to the private sector, national individuals and companies in accordance with the initiative of the Central Bank to finance small and medium enterprises as well as finding solutions to the problems of taxes and accumulated benefits of the owners of projects suspended production.

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   When Abadi vs Maliki was happening, that was another major step for Iraq. Again, it wasn’t a promise of immediate RV, but let’s face it – a major change in value of the Dinar was never going to happen with Maliki at the helm. Maliki simply had no reason to act in Iraq’s best interest when he had such a huge ability to pilfer the system under his power. I firmly believe that Abadi is not like Maliki, and when he won that battle, our landscape changed for the better…but even that was not enough. There was still the issue of the HCL, which MUST be resolved before (or simultaneously with) an RV.   Now let’s look at today…this immediate point in time, where once again the rumor mills are churning and people are getting excited.  I’m going to make two specific statements right now, and I hope they stick:  1. None of the gurus can call the Date.   2. Despite #1 above, the current level of activity is not to be ignored. Things ARE happening.  [post 2 of 2]

Iraqis demand trial, execution of Maliki over Mosul fall to ISIS
Maliki is role in Mosul's fall

Iraqis demand the trial and execution of former prime minister Nouri al-Maliki for being responsible for Mosul’s fall in ISIS’ grip, Zuhair al-Jabouri, the spokesperson of Nineveh Guard said on Saturday.

This comes as a response to Maliki’s accusations, as he claimed that Mosul’s residents are behind the city’s fall.

In press statements, al-Jabouri noted that Mosul’s residents shall not be held accountable because they did not give orders to five military brigades to withdraw from the battlefield, adding that this order facilitated the city’s fall in ISIS’ clutches.

At the time, Nineveh provincial council and its governor have asked for Peshmerga soldiers’ help to fight ISIS, which was officially and categorically rejected by Maliki, he added.

Mosul’s residents collaborated with ISIS, causing the fall of the city in 2014, Maliki said in a statement to Sputnik, a Russian news agency, on Friday before his visit to Moscow.

On Saturday, former governor of Nineveh Atheel al-Nujaifi lashed out at former prime minister’s over his latest statements.

Earlier, the parliamentary legal committee requested last month the attorney general to reopen the issue of Mosul’s fall in ISIS’ grip, a move that will lead to the trial of Iraqi officials, including Maliki.

U.S. Priorities in the Kirkuk Standoff

In the coming days, Kirkuk will either explode into open fighting between Kurdish and Iraqi forces or spur a much-needed dialogue between Baghdad and Erbil.

On October 12, the oil-rich Iraqi province of Kirkuk came very close to witnessing a major clash between two U.S.-armed militaries — the federal Iraqi army and the forces of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). The army has been unable to access its old bases in Kirkuk since its June 2014 collapse at the hands of the Islamic State, and Kurdish Peshmerga have since taken full control of these areas and their oil fields. The recovering federal military has now made its first attempt to reenter the Peshmerga-controlled zone.

Yesterday, a column of army units, special forces, and Popular Mobilization Forces loyal to the moderate cleric Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani advanced over the Kurdish frontline berm south of Kirkuk city, within a fifteen-minute drive of the provincial capital and key oil fields. Local Peshmerga reportedly came very close to firing on these forces, which halted just in time after Iraqi prime minister Haider al-Abadi received a phone call from one Kurdish faction — the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) — asking for forty-eight hours to confer internally and with the other major Kurdish faction, the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP). The clock is now ticking, and the deadline will expire by early Sunday morning local time.

In all likelihood, one of three outcomes will unfold. First, Baghdad’s forces could resume their advance after the deadline, then halt or turn back if Peshmerga block them from entering Kirkuk’s military bases and oil fields. Second, federal forces could succeed in pushing onto their objectives. Either of these initial scenarios could generate a major crisis. The first would spell political trouble for Abadi and likely spur intensified multilateral sanctions on the Kurds, including border closures with Turkey and Iraq and removal of the KRG’s capacity to generate customs and oil revenue. And whether federal forces succeed or fail, blood would be likely be shed during the confrontation, casting a very deep shadow over Abadi’s efforts to serve as a unifier in the 2018 elections and further disrupting the military campaign against the Islamic State. Kirkuk’s oil fields might be heavily damaged as well.

Fortunately, a third, more attractive option is available. Since the September 25 KRG independence referendum, Baghdad has been unwilling to enter unconditional negotiations with the KRG, requiring Erbil to publicly renounce the vote in some fashion before coming back to the table. Yet the Kirkuk crisis gives Baghdad a clear pretext for direct emergency talks, and without losing face for setting aside its renouncement demand (at least in the short term). These discussions could center on the PUK’s proposed compromise: “temporary joint administration” of Kirkuk. The portions of Kirkuk that the PUK controls — the main air base, the K1 military base, and some energy facilities — would be good spots to develop a joint security mechanism between federal and Peshmerga forces.

This approach could take some heat out of the crisis, placate Turkish and Iranian fears of growing Kurdish nationalism, and reduce military tensions in Kirkuk. To be sure, further negotiations would be needed regarding the city’s KDP-held zone, which includes two large oil fields, Bai Hassan and Avana. But at least the process would be started.

The United States has rightly expressed that it will not allow any actor to take military steps against the Kurds in their three core provinces — Erbil, Dahuk, and Sulaymaniyah. It has also quietly but insistently signaled Baghdad that any effort to regain access to disputed areas such as Kirkuk should not involve violence, should not be led by Iranian-backed militias, and should leave ample room left for negotiation. Thus far, Abadi seems to have respected these concerns, and the Kurds have likewise been urged to refrain from using force.

Washington should now push for negotiations during the remainder of the forty-eight-hour truce, supporting extensions to the deadline as warranted. Toward that end, it should maintain its small military advisory presence in Kirkuk, which aids situational awareness and crisis communication between the sides.

In particular, U.S. mediators should call for de-escalation measures: a freeze on sending reinforcements to the area, the removal of heavy weapons such as artillery and tanks to a mutual distance, a ban on nighttime movements, and two-way communication to make each side aware of new troop movements. They should also prioritize a partial, incremental solution to the crisis in the near term — such as the return of limited federal military missions to PUK-controlled sites in Kirkuk — instead of an expansive “mega deal” that requires the immediate return of large federal forces to all areas surrendered in 2014. These forces are needed for operations elsewhere in the country anyway, and Kirkuk is not yet equipped to give them the necessary housing and logistical support.

U.S. support to small Iraqi military missions in Kirkuk could be the start of a trilateral combined security mechanism for the city, which federal, KRG, and U.S. forces might then extend into other disputed areas. There are many ways to reintroduce federal security forces without requiring the Kurds to welcome back heavily armed military units; for instance, lightly armed federal oil field police are much needed to prevent Islamic State insurgent attacks on key hydrocarbon resources. Above all, Washington needs to act immediately to keep its allies from fighting each other in the coming days, with a focus on measures that encourage incremental progress and confidence building.

Al-Nusseiri hails the Central Bank’s actions in developing and reforming the banking sector

The economic and banking adviser, Samir Nusairi, praised the developmental and reform measures carried out by the Central Bank of Iraq two years ago to meet the challenges faced by Iraqi banks because of the economic and financial crisis experienced by Iraq.

Al-Nusairi said during his participation in the symposium held by the Higher Institute for Accounting and Financial Studies at the University of Baghdad entitled “The requirements of financial and monetary reform in Iraq under the direction of the International Monetary Fund” and attended by “Economy News”, “The Central Bank of Iraq has taken the measures of evolution and reform two years ago to meet the challenges Which suffer from the Iraqi banks because of the economic and financial crisis experienced by Iraq because of falling oil prices and the war on terrorism and structural and structural imbalance in the management of the economy, “noting that” despite the Central Bank to prepare and launch a strategy for the years (2016-2020), which included primary and secondary objectives to achieve financial stability and develop the banking system in accordance with new mechanisms and work points. However, this does not prevent the Bank from adopting visions and proposals through the Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance analyzing the current and expected financial position of the banks (2017-2020) To activate the economic cycle in all areas and to develop a proactive plan to prevent bankruptcy and the collapse of some banks and the maintenance of the wheel of banking under the current circumstances and the use of new mechanisms and tools for monetary policy applications.

He added that “the current banking financing structure is plagued by many failures and obstacles and in order to increase credit and total funding from banks and to activate their contribution to various aspects of investment and reconstruction and to push the development process and move the economic cycle in Iraq, we see a serious step is to re-examine the policy of lending and bank financing and activating the optimization of financing private projects Small and medium as a social and economic objective with special priority and urgent and that the Central Bank of Iraq has an effective supervisory and supervisory role. ”

He pointed out “the importance of activating the role of government banks, specialized banks and private banks to provide easy loans to the private sector, national individuals and companies in accordance with the initiative of the Central Bank to finance small and medium enterprises as well as finding solutions to the problems of taxes and accumulated benefits of the owners of projects suspended production.

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   When Abadi vs Maliki was happening, that was another major step for Iraq. Again, it wasn’t a promise of immediate RV, but let’s face it – a major change in value of the Dinar was never going to happen with Maliki at the helm. Maliki simply had no reason to act in Iraq’s best interest when he had such a huge ability to pilfer the system under his power. I firmly believe that Abadi is not like Maliki, and when he won that battle, our landscape changed for the better…but even that was not enough. There was still the issue of the HCL, which MUST be resolved before (or simultaneously with) an RV.   Now let’s look at today…this immediate point in time, where once again the rumor mills are churning and people are getting excited.  I’m going to make two specific statements right now, and I hope they stick:  1. None of the gurus can call the Date.   2. Despite #1 above, the current level of activity is not to be ignored. Things ARE happening.  [post 2 of 2]

Iraqis demand trial, execution of Maliki over Mosul fall to ISIS
Maliki is role in Mosul's fall

Iraqis demand the trial and execution of former prime minister Nouri al-Maliki for being responsible for Mosul’s fall in ISIS’ grip, Zuhair al-Jabouri, the spokesperson of Nineveh Guard said on Saturday.

This comes as a response to Maliki’s accusations, as he claimed that Mosul’s residents are behind the city’s fall.

In press statements, al-Jabouri noted that Mosul’s residents shall not be held accountable because they did not give orders to five military brigades to withdraw from the battlefield, adding that this order facilitated the city’s fall in ISIS’ clutches.

At the time, Nineveh provincial council and its governor have asked for Peshmerga soldiers’ help to fight ISIS, which was officially and categorically rejected by Maliki, he added.

Mosul’s residents collaborated with ISIS, causing the fall of the city in 2014, Maliki said in a statement to Sputnik, a Russian news agency, on Friday before his visit to Moscow.

On Saturday, former governor of Nineveh Atheel al-Nujaifi lashed out at former prime minister’s over his latest statements.

Earlier, the parliamentary legal committee requested last month the attorney general to reopen the issue of Mosul’s fall in ISIS’ grip, a move that will lead to the trial of Iraqi officials, including Maliki.

U.S. Priorities in the Kirkuk Standoff

In the coming days, Kirkuk will either explode into open fighting between Kurdish and Iraqi forces or spur a much-needed dialogue between Baghdad and Erbil.

On October 12, the oil-rich Iraqi province of Kirkuk came very close to witnessing a major clash between two U.S.-armed militaries — the federal Iraqi army and the forces of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). The army has been unable to access its old bases in Kirkuk since its June 2014 collapse at the hands of the Islamic State, and Kurdish Peshmerga have since taken full control of these areas and their oil fields. The recovering federal military has now made its first attempt to reenter the Peshmerga-controlled zone.

Yesterday, a column of army units, special forces, and Popular Mobilization Forces loyal to the moderate cleric Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani advanced over the Kurdish frontline berm south of Kirkuk city, within a fifteen-minute drive of the provincial capital and key oil fields. Local Peshmerga reportedly came very close to firing on these forces, which halted just in time after Iraqi prime minister Haider al-Abadi received a phone call from one Kurdish faction — the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) — asking for forty-eight hours to confer internally and with the other major Kurdish faction, the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP). The clock is now ticking, and the deadline will expire by early Sunday morning local time.

In all likelihood, one of three outcomes will unfold. First, Baghdad’s forces could resume their advance after the deadline, then halt or turn back if Peshmerga block them from entering Kirkuk’s military bases and oil fields. Second, federal forces could succeed in pushing onto their objectives. Either of these initial scenarios could generate a major crisis. The first would spell political trouble for Abadi and likely spur intensified multilateral sanctions on the Kurds, including border closures with Turkey and Iraq and removal of the KRG’s capacity to generate customs and oil revenue. And whether federal forces succeed or fail, blood would be likely be shed during the confrontation, casting a very deep shadow over Abadi’s efforts to serve as a unifier in the 2018 elections and further disrupting the military campaign against the Islamic State. Kirkuk’s oil fields might be heavily damaged as well.

Fortunately, a third, more attractive option is available. Since the September 25 KRG independence referendum, Baghdad has been unwilling to enter unconditional negotiations with the KRG, requiring Erbil to publicly renounce the vote in some fashion before coming back to the table. Yet the Kirkuk crisis gives Baghdad a clear pretext for direct emergency talks, and without losing face for setting aside its renouncement demand (at least in the short term). These discussions could center on the PUK’s proposed compromise: “temporary joint administration” of Kirkuk. The portions of Kirkuk that the PUK controls — the main air base, the K1 military base, and some energy facilities — would be good spots to develop a joint security mechanism between federal and Peshmerga forces.

This approach could take some heat out of the crisis, placate Turkish and Iranian fears of growing Kurdish nationalism, and reduce military tensions in Kirkuk. To be sure, further negotiations would be needed regarding the city’s KDP-held zone, which includes two large oil fields, Bai Hassan and Avana. But at least the process would be started.

The United States has rightly expressed that it will not allow any actor to take military steps against the Kurds in their three core provinces — Erbil, Dahuk, and Sulaymaniyah. It has also quietly but insistently signaled Baghdad that any effort to regain access to disputed areas such as Kirkuk should not involve violence, should not be led by Iranian-backed militias, and should leave ample room left for negotiation. Thus far, Abadi seems to have respected these concerns, and the Kurds have likewise been urged to refrain from using force.

Washington should now push for negotiations during the remainder of the forty-eight-hour truce, supporting extensions to the deadline as warranted. Toward that end, it should maintain its small military advisory presence in Kirkuk, which aids situational awareness and crisis communication between the sides.

In particular, U.S. mediators should call for de-escalation measures: a freeze on sending reinforcements to the area, the removal of heavy weapons such as artillery and tanks to a mutual distance, a ban on nighttime movements, and two-way communication to make each side aware of new troop movements. They should also prioritize a partial, incremental solution to the crisis in the near term — such as the return of limited federal military missions to PUK-controlled sites in Kirkuk — instead of an expansive “mega deal” that requires the immediate return of large federal forces to all areas surrendered in 2014. These forces are needed for operations elsewhere in the country anyway, and Kirkuk is not yet equipped to give them the necessary housing and logistical support.

U.S. support to small Iraqi military missions in Kirkuk could be the start of a trilateral combined security mechanism for the city, which federal, KRG, and U.S. forces might then extend into other disputed areas. There are many ways to reintroduce federal security forces without requiring the Kurds to welcome back heavily armed military units; for instance, lightly armed federal oil field police are much needed to prevent Islamic State insurgent attacks on key hydrocarbon resources. Above all, Washington needs to act immediately to keep its allies from fighting each other in the coming days, with a focus on measures that encourage incremental progress and confidence building.

Al-Nusseiri hails the Central Bank’s actions in developing and reforming the banking sector

The economic and banking adviser, Samir Nusairi, praised the developmental and reform measures carried out by the Central Bank of Iraq two years ago to meet the challenges faced by Iraqi banks because of the economic and financial crisis experienced by Iraq.

Al-Nusairi said during his participation in the symposium held by the Higher Institute for Accounting and Financial Studies at the University of Baghdad entitled “The requirements of financial and monetary reform in Iraq under the direction of the International Monetary Fund” and attended by “Economy News”, “The Central Bank of Iraq has taken the measures of evolution and reform two years ago to meet the challenges Which suffer from the Iraqi banks because of the economic and financial crisis experienced by Iraq because of falling oil prices and the war on terrorism and structural and structural imbalance in the management of the economy, “noting that” despite the Central Bank to prepare and launch a strategy for the years (2016-2020), which included primary and secondary objectives to achieve financial stability and develop the banking system in accordance with new mechanisms and work points. However, this does not prevent the Bank from adopting visions and proposals through the Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance analyzing the current and expected financial position of the banks (2017-2020) To activate the economic cycle in all areas and to develop a proactive plan to prevent bankruptcy and the collapse of some banks and the maintenance of the wheel of banking under the current circumstances and the use of new mechanisms and tools for monetary policy applications.

He added that “the current banking financing structure is plagued by many failures and obstacles and in order to increase credit and total funding from banks and to activate their contribution to various aspects of investment and reconstruction and to push the development process and move the economic cycle in Iraq, we see a serious step is to re-examine the policy of lending and bank financing and activating the optimization of financing private projects Small and medium as a social and economic objective with special priority and urgent and that the Central Bank of Iraq has an effective supervisory and supervisory role. ”

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   When Abadi vs Maliki was happening, that was another major step for Iraq. Again, it wasn’t a promise of immediate RV, but let’s face it – a major change in value of the Dinar was never going to happen with Maliki at the helm. Maliki simply had no reason to act in Iraq’s best interest when he had such a huge ability to pilfer the system under his power. I firmly believe that Abadi is not like Maliki, and when he won that battle, our landscape changed for the better…but even that was not enough. There was still the issue of the HCL, which MUST be resolved before (or simultaneously with) an RV.   Now let’s look at today…this immediate point in time, where once again the rumor mills are churning and people are getting excited.  I’m going to make two specific statements right now, and I hope they stick:  1. None of the gurus can call the Date.   2. Despite #1 above, the current level of activity is not to be ignored. Things ARE happening.  [post 2 of 2]

Iraqis demand trial, execution of Maliki over Mosul fall to ISIS
Maliki is role in Mosul's fall

Iraqis demand the trial and execution of former prime minister Nouri al-Maliki for being responsible for Mosul’s fall in ISIS’ grip, Zuhair al-Jabouri, the spokesperson of Nineveh Guard said on Saturday.

This comes as a response to Maliki’s accusations, as he claimed that Mosul’s residents are behind the city’s fall.

In press statements, al-Jabouri noted that Mosul’s residents shall not be held accountable because they did not give orders to five military brigades to withdraw from the battlefield, adding that this order facilitated the city’s fall in ISIS’ clutches.

At the time, Nineveh provincial council and its governor have asked for Peshmerga soldiers’ help to fight ISIS, which was officially and categorically rejected by Maliki, he added.

Mosul’s residents collaborated with ISIS, causing the fall of the city in 2014, Maliki said in a statement to Sputnik, a Russian news agency, on Friday before his visit to Moscow.

On Saturday, former governor of Nineveh Atheel al-Nujaifi lashed out at former prime minister’s over his latest statements.

Earlier, the parliamentary legal committee requested last month the attorney general to reopen the issue of Mosul’s fall in ISIS’ grip, a move that will lead to the trial of Iraqi officials, including Maliki.

U.S. Priorities in the Kirkuk Standoff

In the coming days, Kirkuk will either explode into open fighting between Kurdish and Iraqi forces or spur a much-needed dialogue between Baghdad and Erbil.

On October 12, the oil-rich Iraqi province of Kirkuk came very close to witnessing a major clash between two U.S.-armed militaries — the federal Iraqi army and the forces of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). The army has been unable to access its old bases in Kirkuk since its June 2014 collapse at the hands of the Islamic State, and Kurdish Peshmerga have since taken full control of these areas and their oil fields. The recovering federal military has now made its first attempt to reenter the Peshmerga-controlled zone.

Yesterday, a column of army units, special forces, and Popular Mobilization Forces loyal to the moderate cleric Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani advanced over the Kurdish frontline berm south of Kirkuk city, within a fifteen-minute drive of the provincial capital and key oil fields. Local Peshmerga reportedly came very close to firing on these forces, which halted just in time after Iraqi prime minister Haider al-Abadi received a phone call from one Kurdish faction — the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) — asking for forty-eight hours to confer internally and with the other major Kurdish faction, the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP). The clock is now ticking, and the deadline will expire by early Sunday morning local time.

In all likelihood, one of three outcomes will unfold. First, Baghdad’s forces could resume their advance after the deadline, then halt or turn back if Peshmerga block them from entering Kirkuk’s military bases and oil fields. Second, federal forces could succeed in pushing onto their objectives. Either of these initial scenarios could generate a major crisis. The first would spell political trouble for Abadi and likely spur intensified multilateral sanctions on the Kurds, including border closures with Turkey and Iraq and removal of the KRG’s capacity to generate customs and oil revenue. And whether federal forces succeed or fail, blood would be likely be shed during the confrontation, casting a very deep shadow over Abadi’s efforts to serve as a unifier in the 2018 elections and further disrupting the military campaign against the Islamic State. Kirkuk’s oil fields might be heavily damaged as well.

Fortunately, a third, more attractive option is available. Since the September 25 KRG independence referendum, Baghdad has been unwilling to enter unconditional negotiations with the KRG, requiring Erbil to publicly renounce the vote in some fashion before coming back to the table. Yet the Kirkuk crisis gives Baghdad a clear pretext for direct emergency talks, and without losing face for setting aside its renouncement demand (at least in the short term). These discussions could center on the PUK’s proposed compromise: “temporary joint administration” of Kirkuk. The portions of Kirkuk that the PUK controls — the main air base, the K1 military base, and some energy facilities — would be good spots to develop a joint security mechanism between federal and Peshmerga forces.

This approach could take some heat out of the crisis, placate Turkish and Iranian fears of growing Kurdish nationalism, and reduce military tensions in Kirkuk. To be sure, further negotiations would be needed regarding the city’s KDP-held zone, which includes two large oil fields, Bai Hassan and Avana. But at least the process would be started.

The United States has rightly expressed that it will not allow any actor to take military steps against the Kurds in their three core provinces — Erbil, Dahuk, and Sulaymaniyah. It has also quietly but insistently signaled Baghdad that any effort to regain access to disputed areas such as Kirkuk should not involve violence, should not be led by Iranian-backed militias, and should leave ample room left for negotiation. Thus far, Abadi seems to have respected these concerns, and the Kurds have likewise been urged to refrain from using force.

Washington should now push for negotiations during the remainder of the forty-eight-hour truce, supporting extensions to the deadline as warranted. Toward that end, it should maintain its small military advisory presence in Kirkuk, which aids situational awareness and crisis communication between the sides.

In particular, U.S. mediators should call for de-escalation measures: a freeze on sending reinforcements to the area, the removal of heavy weapons such as artillery and tanks to a mutual distance, a ban on nighttime movements, and two-way communication to make each side aware of new troop movements. They should also prioritize a partial, incremental solution to the crisis in the near term — such as the return of limited federal military missions to PUK-controlled sites in Kirkuk — instead of an expansive “mega deal” that requires the immediate return of large federal forces to all areas surrendered in 2014. These forces are needed for operations elsewhere in the country anyway, and Kirkuk is not yet equipped to give them the necessary housing and logistical support.

U.S. support to small Iraqi military missions in Kirkuk could be the start of a trilateral combined security mechanism for the city, which federal, KRG, and U.S. forces might then extend into other disputed areas. There are many ways to reintroduce federal security forces without requiring the Kurds to welcome back heavily armed military units; for instance, lightly armed federal oil field police are much needed to prevent Islamic State insurgent attacks on key hydrocarbon resources. Above all, Washington needs to act immediately to keep its allies from fighting each other in the coming days, with a focus on measures that encourage incremental progress and confidence building.

Further – other articles have revealed Ameri as being the only current nominated candidate to replace Hakim (for now).

Iraqis demand trial, execution of Maliki over Mosul fall to ISIS
Maliki is role in Mosul's fall

Iraqis demand the trial and execution of former prime minister Nouri al-Maliki for being responsible for Mosul’s fall in ISIS’ grip, Zuhair al-Jabouri, the spokesperson of Nineveh Guard said on Saturday.

This comes as a response to Maliki’s accusations, as he claimed that Mosul’s residents are behind the city’s fall.

In press statements, al-Jabouri noted that Mosul’s residents shall not be held accountable because they did not give orders to five military brigades to withdraw from the battlefield, adding that this order facilitated the city’s fall in ISIS’ clutches.

At the time, Nineveh provincial council and its governor have asked for Peshmerga soldiers’ help to fight ISIS, which was officially and categorically rejected by Maliki, he added.

Mosul’s residents collaborated with ISIS, causing the fall of the city in 2014, Maliki said in a statement to Sputnik, a Russian news agency, on Friday before his visit to Moscow.

On Saturday, former governor of Nineveh Atheel al-Nujaifi lashed out at former prime minister’s over his latest statements.

Earlier, the parliamentary legal committee requested last month the attorney general to reopen the issue of Mosul’s fall in ISIS’ grip, a move that will lead to the trial of Iraqi officials, including Maliki.

U.S. Priorities in the Kirkuk Standoff

In the coming days, Kirkuk will either explode into open fighting between Kurdish and Iraqi forces or spur a much-needed dialogue between Baghdad and Erbil.

On October 12, the oil-rich Iraqi province of Kirkuk came very close to witnessing a major clash between two U.S.-armed militaries — the federal Iraqi army and the forces of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). The army has been unable to access its old bases in Kirkuk since its June 2014 collapse at the hands of the Islamic State, and Kurdish Peshmerga have since taken full control of these areas and their oil fields. The recovering federal military has now made its first attempt to reenter the Peshmerga-controlled zone.

Yesterday, a column of army units, special forces, and Popular Mobilization Forces loyal to the moderate cleric Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani advanced over the Kurdish frontline berm south of Kirkuk city, within a fifteen-minute drive of the provincial capital and key oil fields. Local Peshmerga reportedly came very close to firing on these forces, which halted just in time after Iraqi prime minister Haider al-Abadi received a phone call from one Kurdish faction — the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) — asking for forty-eight hours to confer internally and with the other major Kurdish faction, the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP). The clock is now ticking, and the deadline will expire by early Sunday morning local time.

In all likelihood, one of three outcomes will unfold. First, Baghdad’s forces could resume their advance after the deadline, then halt or turn back if Peshmerga block them from entering Kirkuk’s military bases and oil fields. Second, federal forces could succeed in pushing onto their objectives. Either of these initial scenarios could generate a major crisis. The first would spell political trouble for Abadi and likely spur intensified multilateral sanctions on the Kurds, including border closures with Turkey and Iraq and removal of the KRG’s capacity to generate customs and oil revenue. And whether federal forces succeed or fail, blood would be likely be shed during the confrontation, casting a very deep shadow over Abadi’s efforts to serve as a unifier in the 2018 elections and further disrupting the military campaign against the Islamic State. Kirkuk’s oil fields might be heavily damaged as well.

Fortunately, a third, more attractive option is available. Since the September 25 KRG independence referendum, Baghdad has been unwilling to enter unconditional negotiations with the KRG, requiring Erbil to publicly renounce the vote in some fashion before coming back to the table. Yet the Kirkuk crisis gives Baghdad a clear pretext for direct emergency talks, and without losing face for setting aside its renouncement demand (at least in the short term). These discussions could center on the PUK’s proposed compromise: “temporary joint administration” of Kirkuk. The portions of Kirkuk that the PUK controls — the main air base, the K1 military base, and some energy facilities — would be good spots to develop a joint security mechanism between federal and Peshmerga forces.

This approach could take some heat out of the crisis, placate Turkish and Iranian fears of growing Kurdish nationalism, and reduce military tensions in Kirkuk. To be sure, further negotiations would be needed regarding the city’s KDP-held zone, which includes two large oil fields, Bai Hassan and Avana. But at least the process would be started.

The United States has rightly expressed that it will not allow any actor to take military steps against the Kurds in their three core provinces — Erbil, Dahuk, and Sulaymaniyah. It has also quietly but insistently signaled Baghdad that any effort to regain access to disputed areas such as Kirkuk should not involve violence, should not be led by Iranian-backed militias, and should leave ample room left for negotiation. Thus far, Abadi seems to have respected these concerns, and the Kurds have likewise been urged to refrain from using force.

Washington should now push for negotiations during the remainder of the forty-eight-hour truce, supporting extensions to the deadline as warranted. Toward that end, it should maintain its small military advisory presence in Kirkuk, which aids situational awareness and crisis communication between the sides.

In particular, U.S. mediators should call for de-escalation measures: a freeze on sending reinforcements to the area, the removal of heavy weapons such as artillery and tanks to a mutual distance, a ban on nighttime movements, and two-way communication to make each side aware of new troop movements. They should also prioritize a partial, incremental solution to the crisis in the near term — such as the return of limited federal military missions to PUK-controlled sites in Kirkuk — instead of an expansive “mega deal” that requires the immediate return of large federal forces to all areas surrendered in 2014. These forces are needed for operations elsewhere in the country anyway, and Kirkuk is not yet equipped to give them the necessary housing and logistical support.

U.S. support to small Iraqi military missions in Kirkuk could be the start of a trilateral combined security mechanism for the city, which federal, KRG, and U.S. forces might then extend into other disputed areas. There are many ways to reintroduce federal security forces without requiring the Kurds to welcome back heavily armed military units; for instance, lightly armed federal oil field police are much needed to prevent Islamic State insurgent attacks on key hydrocarbon resources. Above all, Washington needs to act immediately to keep its allies from fighting each other in the coming days, with a focus on measures that encourage incremental progress and confidence building.

However, this does not prevent the Bank from adopting visions and proposals through the Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance analyzing the current and expected financial position of the banks (2017-2020) To activate the economic cycle in all areas and to develop a proactive plan to prevent bankruptcy and the collapse of some banks and the maintenance of the wheel of banking under the current circumstances and the use of new mechanisms and tools for monetary policy applications.

Iraqis demand trial, execution of Maliki over Mosul fall to ISIS
Maliki is role in Mosul's fall

Iraqis demand the trial and execution of former prime minister Nouri al-Maliki for being responsible for Mosul’s fall in ISIS’ grip, Zuhair al-Jabouri, the spokesperson of Nineveh Guard said on Saturday.

This comes as a response to Maliki’s accusations, as he claimed that Mosul’s residents are behind the city’s fall.

In press statements, al-Jabouri noted that Mosul’s residents shall not be held accountable because they did not give orders to five military brigades to withdraw from the battlefield, adding that this order facilitated the city’s fall in ISIS’ clutches.

At the time, Nineveh provincial council and its governor have asked for Peshmerga soldiers’ help to fight ISIS, which was officially and categorically rejected by Maliki, he added.

Mosul’s residents collaborated with ISIS, causing the fall of the city in 2014, Maliki said in a statement to Sputnik, a Russian news agency, on Friday before his visit to Moscow.

On Saturday, former governor of Nineveh Atheel al-Nujaifi lashed out at former prime minister’s over his latest statements.
Earlier, the parliamentary legal committee requested last month the attorney general to reopen the issue of Mosul’s fall in ISIS’ grip, a move that will lead to the trial of Iraqi officials, including Maliki.

BGG ~ This was a report disseminated by a Saudi source. Likely a “Saudi intel” fed news source. Firstly, this threat is predicated on an attack against the Kurds by either Iran, Turkey or Baghdad. The thing to keep in mind, Iran and Turkey are mortal enemies of the Saudis, Baghdad to a lesser extent. Who does this threat benefit most? This sounds an awful lot like Saudi disinformation to me.

BGG ~ What Barzani is really saying here is – the Kurds want negotiation starting with a recognition of their referendum… because Baghdad (and most of the rest of the world) has rejected it wholesale. The “conditions” they are rejecting are the premise of unity and their own constitution. Consequently – I suspect everyone will be wishing they were more respectful and adherent to their own constitution before this is over with.
