Cabinet reshuffle, violence dominate Iraqi press
By Hamid al-Hamrani
Baghdad, Apr 26, (VOI) – Iraqi newspapers published on Thursday focused on the escalating violence in the country and the news that the planned cabinet reshuffle will take place 72 hours after the arrival of al-Maliki in Baghdad.
Under the main headline, 'After al-Maliki's return: 72 hours for cabinet reshuffle,' the semi-official al-Sabah newspaper quoted MP Hassan al-Sanaed from the Shitte United Iraqi Coalition (UIC) as saying that Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki will work on the planned cabinet reshuffle immediately after his return to Baghdad from Masqat, the last stop on his tour of Arab countries. According to al-Sanaed, a new cabinet will be announced within 72 hours of al-Maliki's return, thus putting an end to the controversy surrounding the long-awaited reshuffle.
"This time al-Maliki gained wide support for his plan to give the cabinet portfolios to independent theocrats, who are deemed to have qualifications and good potential," al-Sanaed explained.
The Sadrist bloc earlier ordered its six ministers to quit the government to give the prime minister a chance to form a professional government that is free from the dominance of political parties.
On the security situation in Basra, al-Sabah published a long article, entitled 'The Fadila Islamic Party warns that Basra could turn into another Darfur,' in which it said that the Iraqi parliament decided on Wednesday to include the security situation in Basra on its Thursday agenda.
Al-Iraq newspaper quoted Izzat al-Shabandar, the spokesman for the Iraqi National List parliamentary bloc led by former Prime Minister Iyad Allawi, as saying that the political initiative proposed by the Iraqi list is capable of containing the current Iraqi situation, along with its complications and dangers. Al-Shabandar denied that the Iraqi list aims to overthrow al-Maliki, explaining that it is working hard to support him to carry out his national role in reformulating the government on a national basis and abolishing the sectarian and ethnic quota system on which the current government is based.
On the Adhamiya wall, the newspaper quoted a source from the al-Sadr Movement as saying that the movement planned two demonstrations in eastern and western Baghdad to condemn the security barriers erected in Adhamiya.
The newspaper also published the following headlines, 'The Iraqi government slams UNAMI report' and 'Three foreign ministers will not participate in Sharm al-Sheikh conference.'
On its front page, al-Bayyina al-Jadida published three main headlines: 'U.S. Navy receives special training in Bahrain. Emergency in Kuwait for fear of U.S.-Iranian war,' 'CNN politicians: Al-Maliki's government is at risk. Leaders of political forces must be held accountable for their actions' and 'Al-Maliki: The issue of Iraqi-Kuwaiti borders is settled. We hope that our debts will be forgiven in Sharm al-Sheikh conference.'
Al-Taakhi newspaper, run by the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), published a long headline that read, 'Bush: It is illogical to tell your enemy in advance about the date of your troop withdrawal. If you do this, you give your enemy enough time to start his preparations to take control of the entire country. '
Amid mutual accusations of failure and incompetence between the Iraqi government and political forces, the newspaper published an opinion poll entitled 'Iraqi MPs say al-Maliki's government is collapsing.' The newspaper quoted MP Mahmoud Uthman from the Kurdistan Alliance as saying, "Not only al-Maliki has failed. It is the entire government."

Interesting,

How many times have we heard about this parliament reshuffle, maybe a dozen, and worse, for how many months, so now we are down to 72 hours. I will believe it when I see it. LOL

I always put more weight on this factor than all the BS about laws being passed, ratified, enacted, announced, whatever, they were essentially all but done, but whacki Iraqi's like to test the waters with everything by leaking it first, watch reactions second, then announce it was a done deal months after the fact. (g)

Good luck and health to all, Mike

efollowing the threads ,and Speculations on the RV have aged me more than i ever wanted to be aged! I ams so positive ---Just a gut feeling---That this will happen before May 3, What Year, and how much ,I do not know , But all will be happy to get off this ride I think once this roller coaster ride ends I will Vommit for a week straight. (and not from the alcohol consumption, rather from the disgust of this trip.) JMHO!

Who remembers this? Some of the newbies, may not have seen it.

The Ministry of Finance together with the Central Bank are studying a proposal to raise the value of the Iraqi dinar in order to return it to previous levels where one Iraqi dinar was valued at 3.33 US dollars. This was pre 1980 before Iraq became involved in three destructive wars that at one time led to the currency's value dropping to a level of 3,000 Iraqi dinars to one US dollar. The proposal has the support and approval of the World Bank.

A statement by B.J. AL Zubaidi, the Minister of Finance, in which he said that he had suggested to the Chairman of the Central Bank, Dr. Sinan AL Shibibi, that three zeros be taken from the Iraqi Dinar in order to raise its value so that one Dinar be equal to a Dollar. He explained that the financial authorities were set on holding a meeting next month to discuss the matter. The meeting is to be attended by experts and spe******ts from the Ministry of Finance, the Iraqi Central Bank and the Commercial Bank .

The new Minister confirmed that 2007 would see the preparation of a qualitative budget, the first of its kind in Iraq history, and that the new program would pinpoint economic indicators.

OOOH-OOOH-OOOH! I DO! I DO!

Moving forward. The Oil Minister lays down the law. All Oil Contracts signed must be with the government. Any deals made outside of the government will be illegal.
