Baghdad: Yassin Iraq

The coordination of peaceful youth demonstrations in Iraq issued on Thursday a statement announcing the postponement of the demonstrations scheduled to start on 25 October.

The coordination statement, received by Yass Iraq, said that ‘to the people of our great Iraqi people, to the free of our spare youth who refused to continue injustice and corruption under a chaotic system led by whales of corruption and gangs of looting and conspiracy, history has shown that the masses are stronger than the tyrants and that the people are Facebook Facebook logo Keep me logged in.

The statement added: ‘You started with your previous demonstrations, which started on 1/10/2019 and was a volcano of anger against the corrupt and greedy wealth of the country, and thus we are able to remove this system roosting in the chest of Iraq for a decade and a half.’

“But we decided the following: 1. Giving them a ‘thirty-day’ opportunity to make a constitutional amendment that includes the following: a. Merging the Prime Minister with Majoriya; b) electing the President directly by the people; c. Limiting the session of the Council of Representatives to two sessions only retroactively; The power to choose conservatives to the President of the Republic, e – the trial of corrupt through the media and retrieve what they stole from the wealth of the people ‘.

In a second point of the statement, the coordination, said that ‘in the absence of response to the demands above, the date of major demonstrations on 22/11/2019 corresponding to Friday’.

It wishes to clarify the platform “Yes Iraq” that this statement is anonymous and was issued in the name of the youth coordination and did not include the name of the president or members of this coordination and the platform has not yet been able to access the source of this statement, which I received from an anonymous email and tried to follow up the issuance of this statement and did not find.

The platform noted the issuance of statements by anonymous since October 1, without the name, signature or knowledge of the body behind these organizations, which raises doubts of the attempt by some to send and circulate these written data and exploit the speed of social means to spread.

A deal to get Britain out of the EU

Date: Edit: 2019/10/17 18:34

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced a “great” agreement with the European Union on Brexit and urged lawmakers to approve it early next week.

“We have reached a great new agreement that takes back control,” Johnson wrote on Twitter. He added: “Now the parliament on Saturday should complete the issue of exit from the European Union so that we can move to other priorities, such as the cost of living and national health services and violent crime and the environment.”

European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said Britain and the European Union had reached a new exit agreement. “When there is a will, there is an agreement, we have one! It is a fair and balanced agreement for the EU and the UK, which is a sign of our commitment to finding solutions,” he said in a tweet on his Twitter account.

Details of the deal, praised by Johnson and who, since taking office on July 23, 2019, have sought European help in offering a new deal or amicably agreeing to emerge without agreement.

He also suspended parliament for two weeks, which was later canceled by the Supreme Court, a move his opponents saw as a time constraint on deputies to prevent them from introducing legislation aimed at preventing Britain from leaving the EU without an agreement.

In the morning of Thursday, October 17, 2019, the British Housing Minister Robert Jennick said that his country would leave the European Union on October 31 if no agreement was reached to exit with the bloc. is over

Reuters reveals how Iran intervened in the field to break up the demonstrations in Iraq

Last Updated: Thursday , 17 October 2019 KSA 15:57 – GMT 12:57

Of demonstrations that broke out in Baghdad in the first week of

BAGHDAD (Reuters) – Iranian-backed factions have deployed snipers on rooftops in Baghdad during the bloodiest anti-government protests in years , two Iraqi security officials told Reuters .

The unprecedented measure highlights the chaotic situation in Iraq amid mass protests that killed more than 100 people and wounded 6,000 during the week of October 1.

These factions have become a constant element in the Iraqi security landscape as Iranian influence grows in the country. Sometimes they operate in conjunction with Iraqi security forces but maintain their own command structures.

Snipers received orders from their platoon leaders

The security sources told Reuters that the leaders of factions allied to Iran decided on their own to participate in quelling the popular protests against the government of Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi, whose administration has been in power since taking office a year ago with the support of powerful armed groups supported by Iran and political factions. .

One security source said: “We have firm evidence that the snipers were elements of armed groups and who are taking orders from their commanders instead of the commander in chief of the armed forces.” “They belong to a faction very close to Iran.”

Another Iraqi security source attending daily meetings to brief the government on the security situation said black-clad men shot at protesters on the third day of unrest, in which the death toll rose from about six to more than 50.

The second source added that these fighters were led by Abu Zainab al-Lami, head of the Popular Mobilization Security backed by Iran. The source said that the leader of the crowd was tasked to quell the protests by a group of other senior leaders of armed factions. The sources did not say how many snipers were deployed by the armed factions.

Crowd denies .. Baghdad will check

Ahmad al-Asadi, a spokesman for the Hashd, denied the factions were involved in quelling the protests.

Interior Ministry spokesman Saad Maan said security forces had not fired directly at the protesters and accused elements he described as “malicious” of being responsible for many deaths and injuries.

Maan told a news conference on October 6 that the government had opened an investigation to determine who had fired at the protesters and who had ordered him.

However, on October 7, the Iraqi government returned and acknowledged the use of excessive force by security forces and pledged to hold those responsible for violence against civilians to account.

In a related context, an official in the Prime Minister’s Office said in a statement to “Reuters” on Wednesday that it would be “premature to blame any of the parties, whether from the crowd or other members of the security services before the completion of the investigation. By shooting. ”

Iran’s role in responding to the demonstrations was another reminder of its influence in Iraq, where a number of former faction leaders have become members of parliament supporting Iranian approaches.

The stability of the Iraqi government is in the interest of Iran, whose influence in Iraq has grown since 2003 when the US-led invasion toppled Saddam Hussein, Tehran’s worst enemy. Iran has become Iraq’s largest trading partner.

As the protests entered their third day on October 3, snipers appeared on rooftops in Baghdad. A Reuters cameraman covering the unrest near Baghdad’s Tahrir Square that afternoon said he saw a sniper on the roof of an under construction building overlooking the demonstrations.

Protesters rushed to survive when the gunman opened fire. Protesters took a protester shot in the head away from a crowd. A second protester also appeared to have died in the head and was taken on a truck.

The second security source told “Reuters” that the snipers are using radio communication equipment provided by Iran and difficult to track, giving the factions of their own network in the first place.

A senior diplomat in the region familiar with Iran’s decision-making said a group of senior Iranian Revolutionary Guards commanders traveled to Iraq on the second day of protests and met Iraqi intelligence and security officials.

Senior IRGC officers with experience in containing civil unrest continued after the meeting to advise the Iraqi government, but no Iranian soldiers were deployed on the ground, the diplomat said.

Close contact between Iran and the demonstrators

A senior leader of an Iranian-backed faction said Tehran had been in close contact with forces trying to break up the protests, but stressed that his faction had not been involved in efforts to stop the protests or the resulting violence.

The commander told “Reuters”: “Two days later, they intervened and provided the government and armed groups with intelligence.”

He added: “Iranian advisers insisted on their role and warned us that the continued demonstrations, if not controlled, it would undermine the government of Adel Abdul-Mahdi.”

Protests in Iraq began on October 1 amid public anger over chronic crises over lack of jobs, electricity and drinking water. Iraqis hold politicians and officials responsible for widespread corruption that has prevented Iraq from recovering after years of sectarian violence and the fight against ISIS.

Any power vacuum may be difficult for the region because Baghdad is an ally of the United States and Iran. Thousands of US troops are stationed in Iraq not far from those of the Iranian-backed PMU.
