    Very strange that it’s been 4 days since a Turkish diplomat & 2 others were murdered in broad daylight in one of the safest areas in , an area full of CCTV & security, yet no one has been arrested or no footage released. The longer it takes the more suspicious it becomes.

    The roads & infrastructure in looks amazing, Sulaymaniyah has become a big village, regressing in the last few years. Those responsible at the local or regional level for what’s happened to Sulaymaniyah are either incompetent, thieves or more than likely both.

    Questions need to be asked, and answered, as to how protestors were able to take over an embassy in Baghdad so easily. If Iraq cannot protect embassies, despite differences of opinions etc then it wouldn’t surprise me to see many embassies downgrading and/or downsizing.

    Protestors, some seen wearing military fatigues, storm the Bahraini embassy in Baghdad, in an apparent protest at the U.S. supported . Instability & insecurity in Baghdad will make the international community present there nervous, may force evacuations as well.

    Also I’m disappointed not to hear the views of the U.K. on the missing salaries of millions of KRG employees & whether it’s fair or not that Baghdad sends people their salaries only for KRG to withhold it

    Like I said previously Baghdad will keep giving money with no oil in return. A deal‘s already been made so asking for new negotiations only delays the process, giving KRG an excuse not to hand over the oil. AAM has been very kind to KRG, not sure how long he can keep it up

    Kurdish President gives Baghdad 3 choices about Kurdish oil: 1) present situation continues until Kurds pay off part of foreign debt; 2) Kurds give Baghdad 250K barrels of oil daily but Kurds get full share of Iraqi federal budget; or 3) new negotiations. …
