WB, IMF Debate Iraq Debt Relief

WASHINGTON, OCT 1 : Advocates and activists on Thursday pressed the World Bank and International Monetary Fund to forgive the debt of the world's poorest countries, and sparked debate on the fairness of targeted relief for Iraq.
More than a hundred representatives from non-governmental organizations gathered at a 'Town Hall' forum at the World Bank headquarters to raise concerns about poor country debt, women's rights and government corruption.

Responding to a question from the Jubilee Debt Campaign, a group campaigning for outright debt cancellation for poor nations, South African Finance Minister Trevor Manuel said decisions on debt relief could be ethically difficult.

"It's a very tough call. Who will be the determiner of whether debt is relieved?" he said, raising the possibility of preferential debt relief for Iraq.

"If that should happen in Iraq why should it not happen in the Democratic Republic of Congo?," he said, adding: "I think we must have rules that are equally applied."

Question: Is the oil investment law part of the entire FIL package, or is it something separate? Also, accourding to what I've read, the FIL has been passed but awaits "approval" from Parliament before it is enacted officially..or did I miss something?

yeah, but if it awaits a vote then its already been decided on and is done other than yay and nay.

my point in the fact that you cant always believe every word that is written. they can tell the truth without it being completely accurate.

From my understanding, the oil/hydrocarbon law is seperate from the FIL . . they are more like kissing cousins that go hand in hand.

We are looking for the FIL, the oil law, and the reval to all come out at once . . .one big Hidee Ho to the world showing that Iraq is on the map to stay

Could be any time now . . .sometimes you gotta role that Hard Six

the oil investment law is a separate law than the FIL. you have to have a FIL in order to have the oil investment law tho i believe, coz if you are investing in oil as a foreigner thats a part of foreign investment.

or quite possibly theyve "approved" it and it hasnt been "ENACTED".

i still am of a mind, and moreso now that i read the article back there, that they arent gonna say nothin about any of it til they present it ENTIRELY.

Khaleej Times Online - Iraq parliament delays key session amid bomb plot charges
Iraq parliament delays key session amid bomb plot charges
(AFP)

1 October 2006



BAGHDAD - Iraq’s parliament postponed Sunday a key session to discuss a contentious law after the arrest of a senior politician’s security guard on suspicion of involvement in a bomb plot.


All of Baghdad was placed under curfew Saturday after a security guard for Adnan Dulaimi, leader of the Sunni National Concord Front, was arrested by US forces and subsequently revealed to be part of plan to bomb the heavily fortified Green Zone, home to Iraq’s government.

‘The session is postponed until tomorrow because of what happened with Dulaimi -- we want to know what is going on exactly,’ said a deputy from the Shia parliamentary bloc.

Another parliamentarian, however, rushed to say there was no relation between the two events and the decision had been made three days earlier, though this is the first indication there would be a delay.

Parliament was scheduled to hold the second reading of the controversial federalism law which lays down the mechanisms of fusing the country’s provinces into autonomous regions, a plan bitterly opposed by the Sunni bloc.

US forces, as well as the Sunnis themselves, were quick to distance Dulaimi from his security guard, but Shia politicians have said any possible links must be investigated.

Traffic resumed on Sunday in Baghdad, meanwhile, following a full day of total curfew that saw peace descend on the capital’s normally violent streets.

‘The situation in Baghdad yesterday was good. No incidents happened,’ interior ministry spokesman Abdel Karim Khalaf said after traffic resumed.

‘We had information that some armed groups were trying to carry out military operations against some neighbourhoods in Baghdad so we implemented the curfew to give Iraqi forces freedom to work on the streets,’ he said

I don't know how to say it in Iraqi, but translated it goes some thing like this:

"May the fleas of a thousand camels infest the armpits of all who stand in the way of a 1.48 reval of the dinar."
