Tasmin Alliance (9 seats) voting favour and 'that there is a trend among the majority of political forces to pass the amendment of the federal budget'.
"Objections by the representatives of the Central and Southern Front, which includes more than ten representatives and a number of other members of the Council, will not have a significant impact on the passage of the amendment". |
Genel was up a day before dropping 20% on arbitration loss. I wouldn't read anything in the Genel's movement, tbh |
Am i right in thinking that we have now recovered the pre pipe closure price and in the meanwhile have enjoyed dividends etc so bring on tomorrow. It will be interesting to say the least but we need APIKUR to ensure a healthy bottom line from a new arrangement. Patience so far has been rewarded but we still need backpay and damages. |
Genel were down from about 2 o'clock so no impact.UT took them down at the end. |
Deramper alert. |
These incompetent clowns have lost all our confidence over the last 2 years. More shenanigans tomorrow is very probable, with more tea and biscuits only.
Only a threat of fines and withdrawal of US foreign aid payments will focus their small minds. Genel closed down yesterday - I fully expect another postponement. |

Kurdistan Region's financial entitlements
Jan. 31, 2025
ERBIL (Kurdistan24) – A high-level delegation from the finance ministries of the Iraqi government and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) held a meeting on Friday at the al-Rasheed Hotel in Baghdad to discuss salary payments and the list of employees and retirees.
Iraq’s undersecretary of the Ministry of Finance, Ribaz Hamlan, stated in a press conference that the meeting was positive and that discussions between the two sides would continue the following day.
“The topics discussed in today’s meeting will serve as the basis for the coming 12 months,” Hamlan said.
KRG’s Minister of Finance and Economy, Awat Sheikh Janab, expressed optimism after the meeting, saying there was a good understanding between the two sides.
“We discussed the salary schedule and the list of employees and retirees; There is a mutual understanding; and we hope to resolve the issues tomorrow and send the necessary funds for salary distribution,” Janab said.
Kurdistan24 correspondent reported that the meeting lasted for about three hours. Initially, it was scheduled to be held at the residence of Iraq’s Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister for Financial Affairs, Fuad Hussein, but was relocated to the al-Rasheed Hotel due to the large number of attendees from both delegations.
Erbil and Baghdad held several meetings to discuss amendments to the previously approved 2025 federal budget law and to address obstacles related to the payment of civil servant salaries in the Kurdistan Region. |

Shafaq News/ On Friday, the Minister of Finance in the Kurdistan Region, Awat Sheikh Janab, expressed hope for a resolution of the salaries delay issue by Sunday.
In a press statement attended by Shafaq News correspondent, Janab said the atmosphere of the meeting in Baghdad was “very positive”, adding, "We hope to conclude the work and fund the salaries by Sunday, February 2."
The meeting, held earlier today at the residence of Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein in Baghdad, saw a delegation from the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), led by Sheikh Janab and comprising around 20 members.
The discussions centered on the December 2024 salaries and the salary schedule for 2025.
The salary crisis in the Kurdistan Region dates back to 2014, when tensions between the federal government in Baghdad and the KRG escalated over the management of oil and budget matters, compounded by the repercussions of the ISIS war, falling oil prices, and the global COVID-19 pandemic.
Baghdad ceased sending its share of the budget to the region, prompting the KRG to independently export oil. This conflict led to disruptions in salary payments, initiating a cycle of delays and financial arrears.
Since then, various attempts have been made to find compromises between the two sides, including financial agreements stipulating that the KRG’s budget share would be paid in exchange for its commitment to export a specific amount of oil.
As the dispute continues, the burden has increasingly fallen on the citizens of the region. |

Look at that photo! Definitely blokes! https://www.kurdistan24.net/en/story/822486 ERBIL (Kurdistan24) Ashwaq Jaff, a senior member of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) Central Committee, has accused an unconstitutional political force of obstructing Iraq's political stability and undermining the principles of federalism.In an interview with Kurdistan24, Jaff stated that certain factions within Iraq's political landscape are actively working against the Kurdistan Region's constitutional rights and financial entitlements.A Cycle of Unproductive NegotiationsJaff criticized the ongoing negotiations between the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and the Iraqi federal government, arguing that repeated talks and agreements have failed to yield tangible results.She attributed this to Baghdad's inability to govern effectively within a constitutional framework, accusing political actors of exploiting legal loopholes to sideline the KRG."The continuous negotiations and agreements prove that the federal government has failed in establishing a constitutional governance system," Jaff said."The lack of respect for the constitution and federalism has led to a political process dictated by forces that do not acknowledge the rights of provinces, including the Kurdistan Region," she added.A Political, Not Technical, IssueJaff emphasized that the dispute over financial entitlements, including KRG employees' salaries, is not a technical issue but a political maneuver aimed at weakening the Kurdistan Region.She noted that despite KRG's full compliance with constitutional provisions, Baghdad continues to delay budget allocations, severely impacting the livelihoods of Kurdistan's citizens."The KRG has submitted all necessary evidence and met Baghdad's conditions, yet the delays persist," she said."This is purely political, as even Iraqi parliamentarians acknowledge. The Federal Supreme Court has ruled in favor of KRG's entitlements, yet Baghdad continues to manipulate the process, depriving citizens of their rights," she stated.Centralized Governance MindsetAccording to Jaff, one of the fundamental obstacles to resolving the crisis is the persistence of a centralized governance mentality among Iraqi decision-makers.Despite the 2003 constitutional transformation that established Iraq as a federal state, many political actors still operate under a centralized mindset, resisting the devolution of power."Federalism is not exclusive to the Kurdistan Region-it applies to all provinces. Yet, certain political forces refuse to recognize this reality and instead attempt to impose a centralized governance model," she explained.Foreign Influence and Internal Political StrugglesJaff further alleged that foreign interference is exacerbating tensions between the KRG and Baghdad, with external actors influencing domestic political decisions.She suggested that some factions within the federal government are using the Kurdistan Region as a scapegoat to further their own political interests, particularly with national elections approaching in less than ten months."The opposition to agreements between Erbil and Baghdad is not entirely domestic. There are external forces influencing Baghdad's decision-making," she claimed."Additionally, internal disputes among Iraqi political parties are being projected onto the Kurdistan Region as a way to gain electoral leverage," she added.Budget Amendment StandoffThe impasse over Kurdistan's financial entitlements is set to be a critical issue in the upcoming parliamentary session.Iraqi MP Zozan Kocher told Kurdistan24 that numerous political parties are obstructing the passage of the federal budget law amendment, which includes provisions to resume Kurdistan's oil exports."Many political parties are not cooperating in passing the amendment," Kocher said. "This delay is costing Iraq an estimated 15 trillion dinars annually, making it imperative to reach a resolution."A Call for Constitutional AdherenceJaff concluded by reaffirming the Kurdistan Region's commitment to constitutional governance while urging Baghdad to uphold its legal obligations."The constitution must be the guiding principle for all political decisions," she asserted."The KRG remains committed to dialogue, but it cannot continue to engage in endless negotiations while its citizens suffer the consequences of Baghdad's unconstitutional maneuvers," she emphasized.As Iraq's political landscape remains fraught with tensions, the outcome of the upcoming parliamentary vote on the budget law amendment could play a crucial role in determining whether the federal government is willing to uphold the constitutional framework or continue its current trajectory of political brinkmanship. |
I honestly think that everyone is going to be in major shock at how much Shaikan is actually worth per share.
