Washington begins rehabilitation of schools and hospitals in Mosul
BAGHDAD (Reuters) –
The US Embassy in Baghdad announced on Wednesday the implementation of service projects to clean up schools and hospitals in Mosul and remove debris from the University of Mosul.
“2,000 people are working in the money-for-work activities in the left coast of Mosul through projects funded by the US Embassy and implemented by the UNDP Stabilization Program to rehabilitate Mosul,” said a statement by the embassy, which was seen by the Journal News.
In its statement, the embassy praised “the role of the staff of the Mosul municipality to prioritize money-for-work projects that invest local labor to clean schools and hospitals, remove debris and rubble, collect solid waste and make minor repairs to damaged homes.”
On July 10, 2017, the Prime Minister, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, announced the liberation of a city in Mosul entirely from the control of a terrorist organization.
The Kuwaiti dinar tops the list of the 10 most powerful currencies in the world ahead of the dollar and the euro
Information / Baghdad ..
The Kuwaiti dinar list the 10 most powerful currencies in the world for 2017, rivaling the currencies of the strongest global economies such as the United States, Britain and Switzerland.
According to a report published by the Kuwaiti newspaper “Al Rai” on Wednesday, dinar ranked first in the world, worth $ 3.29 dollars.
According to the NAJI website , the total population of Kuwait is about 4.5 million, including 1.3 million citizens, adding that it can find one million out of every 15 Kuwaitis given its annual income.
Kuwait has about 10 percent of the world’s oil reserves, he said, adding that the Kuwaiti currency is growing annually compared to other currencies.
Bahrain’s dinar was worth $ 2.65, followed by the Omani riyal ($ 2.60), while the Jordanian dinar was in the fifth motto, followed by the pound sterling in sixth place.
The euro came in eighth, followed by the Swiss franc and the US dollar came in last place as the world’s strongest currency.
The strength of a country’s currency is measured when it is replaced by the currency of another country. The prevailing perception among people is that the most prosperous and developed countries have the strongest currency among their counterparts. Therefore, people mistakenly think that the strongest currencies are the dollar, the euro or the pound, but it is not. Ending / 25

Abadi called for “investing in national unity and working with devotion and sacrifice like the fighters who carried their lives on their shoulders,” pointing out that “we have the honor as Iraqis to eliminate the oppressor and we will continue to liberate the remaining land in Tal Afar, Hawija and West Anbar with the same strength and determination.”
“We must unite in the building as we unite in the fighting to achieve the greatest victory,” he said, stressing the need for cooperation and coordination between the provinces and stability and attention to rumors and suspicious campaigns aimed at destabilizing the security and terrorism of society.
He pointed out that “protecting the citizens from the responsibility and duty of the government, especially doctors,” directed “the importance of clarifying the circumstances of these crimes that occur as a result of individual actions and family disputes and not organized crimes as rumored.”
On the transfer of powers to the provinces stressed the “insistence on the transfer of powers properly and according to clear instructions and non-interference of politicians in matters of executive,” directed that “the fees are not only in return for service provided to citizens and do not burden them.”

Iraqi Officers Involved in Smuggling IS Leaders Under Investigation
ERBIL — After the battle in Mosul came to an end, cases of corruption that accompanied the course of the offensive are beginning to unfold. Iraqi officials have revealed that nine senior officers of the Iraqi army and federal police, and at least 30 soldiers have been involved in smuggling Islamic State (IS) leaders out of Mosul and transferring military and food supplies to the group in the city.
The investigation into these cases is highly secret as ordered by Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, and the officers have been suspended from their positions and taken to Baghdad where the investigation is taking place.
This is one of the most dangerous cases of corruption that could cause harm to the Iraqi military and security institutions.
A senior Iraqi military official in Baghdad revealed to the Al Arabi al-Jadeed that many deals were made between those Iraqi officers and IS militants during and before the fight. He noted that local officials were involved in the coordination between the army and the militants.
The price of a pickup truck loaded with food was about $20,000 paid by the IS organization to the officers in the army, explaining that the officers and soldiers could be charged with high treason which carries the capital punishment under the Iraqi law.
The Iraqi official said “the government is currently investigating 38 individuals in the army and the federal police on charges of smuggling IS leaders,” adding that these officials have made huge amounts of money out of the business.
