Wealthwatch Morning Chat  8-30-15  Part 2 of 2

chattels: ERBIL, Kurdistan Region — Local and international media are reporting that an anti-ISIS protest began Saturday in the Anbar province city of Rutba, along the Baghdad-Amman highway, after ISIS killed a local civil servant. 

Bassem Eid Ammash, a spokesman for the Anbar provincial council, told Rudaw Sunday that after a funeral for a man killed by ISIS for allegedly killing one of the militants, mourners leaving the event began protesting against ISIS. ISIS shot back at the protesters, he said, and 200 people were arrested. 

The AP reported that only 70 were arrested, but otherwise confirmed Ammash’s comments. The AP also reported that the man being buried at the funeral was Munir al-Kobeisi, a civil servant, and that he was killed for killing an ISIS fighter in part of an ongoing tribal blood feud.

chattels: The US and its allies have struggled to train and organize anti-ISIS resistance in the majority-Sunni Arab Anbar province. Attempts by Shiite-led central government troops and militias to regain territory in the ISIS stronghold have also produced few tangible results, with many fearing aggression by Shiite troops in the region would only drive ideological rifts and push locals to support ISIS.

chattels: " anecdotal evidence " is arguably hearsay and not admissable in American jurisprudence

Tootsie: but the need a break ~ they had 4 session almost in a row, Tue,Thur,Sat, Sun - overworked ~ ya think?

Tootsie: of course they have committee meetings and arguing session to tend to prior to meeting again - I have to be more lenient

chattels: ‹@Tootsie› it was chairs being thrown most recently :)

chattels: The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) has unequivocally stated that they are not selling oil directly to Israel.

The report quoted one KRG official declaring that Erbil does “not care where the oil goes once we have delivered it to the traders. Our priority is getting the cash to fund our Peshmerga forces against Daesh and to pay civil servants' salaries.”

Tootsie: I have to agree with that ~

] chattels: The news source is the will of the masses, and hope for the demise of the space surplus positions, and achieve reforms to get rid of political waste, and self-examination to search for the corrupt who have caused the entry of terrorism, and Mr Nuri al-Maliki is a citizen and duties and his rights, and be held accountable for mistakes, and predicted waiver Mahmood; as a result of the demands of the three weeks, and urgency reference to reconsider the elimination, while the members of the state law;

 Most of them advisers and deputies have received homes in the Green Zone, and exit a matter of course before entering the citizens and asked, "Where did this to you" ?!

chattels: THE ARTICLE IS A VERY DIFFICULT READ, BUT THE FOREGOING IS SOME OF THE " HIGHLIGHTS ", ALTHOUGH LACKING GOOD CONTEXT.
