"If justice lasts, it will prosper, but if injustice lasts, it will destroy." Was this translation accurate? Give us feedback so we can improve: 7:53 PM · Jan 21, 2025 · |
Lets hope do |
If there is any truth in the news article stating Sudani requested a last minute amendment to include Gas production could that be at the request of Total/Shell ect? We know ICG are openly inviting Shell into Kurdistan! How do the ICG appease big oil in the south on miserly $6 service contracts? The Ministry of oil have said they are banning Gas flaring in 2027! Just a mull. |
Several letters a day from Akipurs solicitors should focus his mind . |
Depends if Trump wants a war with Iran just yet, I'd have thought. |
Maybe it's time to go solo, Iraq is a pigs ear |
I dont think it matters what they do now ,nor do I think they have a choice. The cat is out of the bag so far as the Constitution goes. Sudani is screwed either way.
IMO |
Interim speaker of the Kurdistan parliament has just resigned |
165.5 on the bid |
Correct .We need to ignore the noiseThe company is obviously sold TBACEO STAY BONUS AWARD gets paid in January....Fill yer boots |
Lonepilgrim - "Habs, yes I agree, Sudani has been spooked by the thought of losing control to all of the regions. So what does he do next ?"
I imagine that's on everybody's mind. What does Sudani do next.
If he concedes that the Kurds have constitutional rights over their resources in order to get the pipeline open, then as we saw yesterday the other provinces and regions will want to exercise their constitutional rights as well.
At the same time we are told that negotiations with BP over a $27 billion plus deal are "almost there". So he needs to get the pipeline open.
As I've said many times, the ICG have painted themselves into a corner, and with only 7 months to the expiry of the ITP agreement he has to do something or the KRG and Turkey will just revert to exporting Kurdish oil as they did for 9 years without caring one jot what Baghdad thought and without Baghdad being able to do a thing about it.
And this time Baghdad won't be able to bleat about the oil being smuggled and illegal because the Court of Appeal has ruled otherwise.
But what can he do, he's between a rock and a hard place. We can only wait and see.
Interesting times. |
Very odd. I was under the impression he was the one who wanted it passed and was dragging the Iranian influenced lot kicking and screaming.This was deliberate sabotage it seems. Why? Is anyone's guess currently. |
The amendment on the amendment has really put the cat amongst the pigeons unfortunately. Weird of the PM to throw it in at the last minute. Particularly when there have been multiple agreements and understandings been the KRG and ICG about how the oil would be managed reported by the media over the last 24 months. I cant see how the KRG are going to be ok with having all oil and now gas revenue from Kurdistan going to Baghdad for sorting before them then paying the KRG their share. No one enjoys someone else controlling their revenue stream. But equally I do not know how the ICG reconcile the KRG being in charge of their own oil when they dont let anyone else in Iraq. Has all become very messy again. |
On a jolly in Davos probably! |
1.636 on bid |
SS that was because the Mm opened with a 6 point spread |
Sudani’s latest move surely means there’s zero trust between him and Bazarni, ergo KRG and ICG.
If the amendment isn’t withdrawn, this goes nowhere. |

MP reveals the reason for postponing the vote on amending the budge...21 Jan 2025 16:48 MP reveals the reason for postponing the vote on amending the budget law
Baghdad Today - Baghdad
Today, Tuesday (January 21, 2025), MP for the Fatah parliamentary bloc, Mokhtar Mahmoud, revealed the reason for postponing the vote on amending the budget law during today's session.
Mahmoud told Baghdad Today that "postponing the vote on amending the budget law during today's session, due to the government sending a new amendment to the amendment previously sent."
He added that "the new amendment needs new discussions and dialogues within the parliamentary finance committee, and therefore postponed the vote until the new amendment is discussed in the next few days."
Today, Tuesday (January 21, 2025), the parliament voted on personal status laws, the return of real estate and the general amnesty in one basket, after which the session was adjourned to further notice. |
Well Google finance has us at 169.1. Which is nice ! |
