Let's see

Oil Workers are upset because they feel that the Government lied when the government offered to double their salaries after they promised not to strike, last month... AND, the Postal Workers have not been paid in three months and the government is only going to offer them one month's back pay...Pensions have let to be paid...while the government was reported to be spending a billion USD on new weapons...including Russian Helicopters...New French autos for the Interior Ministry Officials...

There are two basic ways to look at this:

A. The Government does not have the money to pay for basic, core services. If this is true, then we will see it continue to spiral out of control into a complete collapse as these are considered core services of the Iraqi State. If this is true, then they very quickly need to find additional funds. Another key question here to ask is who is still getting paid.

B. The Government promises but, then does not fund these promises. If this is true, then, where is the money going and who is getting these earmarked state funds? This would mean that this government is so isloated from reality that it can not stand much longer.

Either way, (IMO) I agree that this is becoming an impass.

As the way the oil workers see it...Maliki, personelly, lied to them and since 90% of the government's budget is from the sale of oil...this does not bode well for the continuation of the Maliki Government.

Hi, The Iraq Stock Exchange and all associated websites have been down all morning apparently being updated (is this a trading day) Maybe nothing but you never know.

PM has no intention of changing ministerial candidates - lawmaker Baghdad - Voices of Iraq

Thursday , 07 /06 /2007 Time 3:28:00 </B>

By Ali al-Zubaydi Baghdad, Jun 7, (VOI)-

An MP from the Unified Iraqi Coalition (UIC) said on Thursday that Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has no intention of changing his candidates for the six portfolios whose names were presented to the parliament two weeks ago for voting.

"The premier will present the names once again in two weeks," Hassan al-Sanied told the independent news agency Voices of Iraq (VOI), noting that al-Maliki adjourned the voting process after the Sadrist bloc expressed their rejection of the proposed names.

"Iraqi Accordance Front (IAF), the third largest parliamentary bloc, also rejected the premier's candidates," the lawmaker also said.

"Efforts are being exerted by al-Maliki to convince the Sadrist bloc and IAF of the proposed names so he can achieve the parliamentary majority required to approve the reshuffle," al-Sanied added, pointing out that these efforts may need two weeks.

"The prime minister assigned other ministers to take over the affairs of the six ministries until the appointment of new ministers," the legislator stated.
The Sadr movement decided last April to withdraw its six ministers from the Iraqi government, protesting the government's refusal to set a timetable for the withdrawal of foreign troops from the country.

The movement of Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr had six portfolios and a total of 30 seats out of the 275-member parliament. It is a main component of the Shiite Unified Iraqi Coalition, the largest parliamentary bloc with 113 seats, to which Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki belongs.

SH/TP

NOTE: Muqtada al-Sadr appears to be the King Maker within the Parliament because his people show up and vote...his people have blocked the PM on this and got the Parliament to do two resolutions on the removal of US Troops and stripped the PM of his ability to extend the 15 June 2007 UN Manadate under which US Troops operate without NOW the approval of Parliament - without that being renewed at the request of the Iraqis then the US would have no legal, international authority to stay in Iraq other than as an Army of Invasion. Wait for this issue to heat up!

Iraqis in Jordan… fears of deportation, denial of work permits

National - Voices of Iraq

Sunday , 03 /06 /2007 Time 6:29:59 </B>

By May Abdul Salam Amman, June 1, (VOI) - Although hundreds thousands of Iraqis who fled their country of violence and death threats feel somehow more secure for their lives and families in Amman, most of them have the feeling that they are socially under threat, for fear of deportation and denial of work permits that may guarantee them pennies to live.

Z. al-Suodani, an Iraqi young man in Amman, told the independent news agency Voices of Iraq (VOI) "the Jordanian Labor Ministry rejected an application for a work permit without giving me reasons. I was obliged to work without a legal license in order to keep life going, though I fear that one day Jordanian immigrant police may catch and deport me back to Iraq."

Other Iraqis, who do not want to take the risk of working without a permit, depend on subsidiaries from their families from all over the world.

Declining to give his name an officer from the Iraqi army under Saddam said, "I came here to live in peace rather than for a job. I am a Christian Iraqi. I escaped Iraq after I received repeated death threats."

The former officer used to live in the once Christian crowded neighborhood of al-Doura in southern Baghdad. Hundreds left the neighborhood after receiving death threats to convert.

"I spend all my time looking for a job to sustain part of my residence in Amman, but in vain," the former officer said.

Asked how he manages his living expenses, the officer replied "I rely on subsidiaries sent from my relatives in Australia."

Um Nour, an Iraqi lady who left the country after her husband was killed in Baghdad, told VOI, "I used to work as an accountant while in Iraq. I applied for a job at a private company in Jordan but they told me sorry, because the vacancy of 'accountant' should be filled by Jordanian nationals only, according to the rules of the Jordanian authorities."

Um Nour was obliged to work as a saleswoman at a supermarket, hoping that she may get a work permit that will let her live in Jordan for a while.
Iraqis, who fear deportation if the Jordanian authorities do not renew permission to stay in the Jordanian territories, lodge refugee applications at the UNHCR office in Amman.

Um Nour said, "I am also waiting for a reply from the UNCHR concerning a refugee application. I have no other choice but to wait."

A young Iraqi man who preferred to be named N.S said, "as a fresh graduate of Baghdad Medicine College, I thought I could easily find a job in Jordan after I left the country following a death threat directed towards me and my family in the upscale al-Mansour neighborhood in western Baghdad."
"I am now imprisoned in my apartment in Amman, fearing deportation after the three residence permits granted to me by Jordanian authorities expired."
N.S., who seemed disappointed in not finding a job, said, "regrettably all Iraqis in Jordan share the same suffering."

Another Iraqi youth, who asked to use T.J. as a code name, told VOI "we work in secret as we try to earn a living for our families who fled Iraq because of violence, and the authorities here will not grant us work permits."

"My employer is a Palestinian who has lived in Baghdad and has sympathy for me, but he fears my arrest at his factory if Jordanian police inspect the workplace," T.J. added.

Such suffering is not limited to the young Iraqi men who fail to receive work permits, but also applies to investors who have started to feel homesick.

An Iraqi businessman, who preferred to be referred to as A.A., said, "Though I have everything here, I started longing for my friends, house and Baghdad."

"Yes I have a work permit but I am not happy here," he noted.
Economic experts said in late 2006 Iraqi capital streamed into Jordan, pushing up economic growth by 8%.

According to the Jordan Times, the arrival of 50,000 Iraqi families in Jordan contributed $2 billion to the Jordanian market.

Although scores of Iraqi investors live in Jordan with millions of dollars of their wealth flowing to the local market, thousands of their home citizens live under the poverty rate with no assets and no work permits in Jordan.
