BuckeyeTree: IMO, not only Iraq and Iraqis need their new exchange rate, but the world needs for Iraq to activate the new exchange rate with not only the amount of business currently contracted but additional business yet to contract. Business will benefit Iraq and those companies, and the countries connected with them will benefit. There are many inter-connections.
Sudani was talking about Iraq and sports interests which will bring more tourism and internationalism because Iraq has security and stability. It is an exciting time for renewal and becoming part of the First World for Iraq and Iraqis.
Therefore, IMO, the phrase at any moment fits even if it may be days away, but difficult to imagine the wait being weeks or months, not with new ATMs out in place and many of them. If the educational videos were made end of April just after US trip, the near proximal future seems to be not too far off, IMO, and July is almost here.
We have the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia engraved with words from the Bible which include “Proclaim liberty throughout the Land and to all the inhabitants thereof.” The upcoming period IMO will be a time of great prosperity and freedom from terror for Iraqi people. We wait to hear what is next on Iraq TV from Eddie plus bank friend. We will celebrate when the mission is accomplished. Can you imagine the celebration that will be in Iraq. IMO……Praise God.

The Iraqi Airways Company talked about a new plan to return the green bird to the skies of Europe again.
The Director General of Iraqi Airways, Manaf Abdel Moneim, said in a statement followed by Mawazine News, “The company resorted to a system called (wet leasing) to operate flights and transport Iraqis to Europe in light of the imposed embargo, and we relied on a plane leased from another country that is not subject to the embargo. For a period of 6 months, then the contract was terminated.”
He added, “During that period, we prepared an alternative plan to operate Iraqi aircraft to Europe through the 83 BIS Protocol, which means operating our aircraft under the umbrella of the aviation authority of another country that is not prohibited, and we contracted with Turkey, but we were surprised by Turkey’s withdrawal and the refusal of the Turkish Civil Aviation Authority, as a result of the lack of interaction.”
The Iraqi Aviation Authority corresponded with its Turkish counterpart, and the latter submitted a low evaluation report to the Iraqi Aviation Authority, and said, “We will not operate aircraft with this system.”
The director of the airlines continued, “After the Turkish Aviation Authority’s refusal, we resorted to the third alternative, which is registering the Iraqi aircraft with a state.” Others are not banned, just registration and not sale, and thus we can use its license to fly and operate our planes to Europe, but during that we received offers and emails from European countries that are not banned, to operate our planes under their umbrella,” pointing out that “the Iraqi Airways Company is continuing with this.” direction”.
