    Abadi promised victory. 🇮🇶 No major terror attacks in Baghdad for months. 🇮🇶 Daily terror incidents rate at lowest point for 15 years. 🇮🇶 Iraqi Air Force striking Da'ish beyond our borders. 🇮🇶 Iraqi intel agents hunting down Da'ish leadership in & outside the country.

    fair to say i'm liking the vibe in this cafe. online gamers laughing at screens, pool players nailing the long shoots and tricking the difficult ones, sweet shisha heavy in the air. the city by night is chill.

    Iraq 10 year USD bond yield to maturity = 6.76%. Turkey 10 year USD bond yield to maturity = 7.19%. Might seem mispriced but given Iraq's solid central bank & forex reserves it's not so crazy.

    Yeah, right. Turkish-Israeli trade runs into the $billions, including military exports/imports. Where was this adoration for Palestine when they decided to put money in Israeli pockets? 😂

    lol, funnily enough the brutal imperialist invasion of was great for Iraqi Communists who were nearly wiped out by the Ba'athi regime in the '60s and '70s. Since 2003, the movement has flourished and is now part of the most successful alliance in the latest elections.

    When you see these things in Iraq 15 years after the start of a brutal imperialist invasion, it really makes you think of Sankara's ''While revolutionaries as individuals can be murdered,…

    Huge setback for Abadi but don’t count him out just yet. This isn’t about who wins more seats but who can lead the most. Unlike some rivals, Abadi did not have sectarian militias during the civil war. His victory in Mosul more significant than result in Baghdad.

    "Have died" 😂 they just dropped dead randomly, did they? And the thousands around them who dropped with gunshot wounds actually just slipped on hundreds of banana peels.

    However, the top "winners" of last Saturday elections (Sairoon) acknowledge inability to nominate a prime minister. The are realistically assessing that a PM will have to maintain relations with sides Sadrists are yet ready to normalise with.

    As many mainstream Iraqi parties transition away from sectarian rhetoric, they are yet to master issue based campaigning, creating a gap in popular attractiveness. …

    'According to a nationwide poll conducted in March by , 66 percent of the Iraqi people viewed Sadr favourably across most of Iraq's provinces.'

    With over half the votes counted, powerful Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr has emerged as the leading contender in the Iraq elections

    No list ‘wins’ elections technically or has the right to nominate a PM, instead it is the largest coalition in 1st session of new parliament (SC ruling 2010). Expect that to be whoever can bring together at least 100 seats (Sairoon, Nasr, Hikma favourites, maybe with a few more)

    I'm still not over this twat's stupidity. Muqtada came out on top. His followers regularly chant anti-Iran slogans on the streets of Baghdad and the Shi'a south. Shows you the readiness of Western analysts, Middle Eastern or not, to spin propaganda in regards to Iran.

    Iran won Iraq's legislative elections as it won Lebanon's parliamentary elections. That's the bottom line strategically...the rest is details

    I have no idea why he wouldn't be smiling. Or the PUK leaders for that matter. Both main Kurdish parties engaged in levels of corruption that the rest of the corrupt political elite in other parts of could only dream of.

    The disconnect in this analysis is so evident. Most Abadi supporters knew that if he won it would be too close for comfort. Pre-2014, Abadi was unknown. Sadr has a huge loyal fanbase. Fatih has the support of the Hashd base. Abadi has no secure base. But keep talking bs lol.

    Abadi & his supporters expected a landslide victory, expected him to own the political landscape. It’s now the other way around: If he gets another term, he’ll return severely weakened. A win-win for his rivals but an embarrassing return to office for him …
