Today, Monday, October 7, the newspapers issued in Baghdad were followed the message of Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani to US President Joe Biden and the European countries regarding the Zionist aggression, and his accurate diagnosis of the dangers of continuing this aggression.
Al-Zawraa newspaper, issued by the Iraqi Journalists Syndicate, said: “Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani sent a message to US President Joe Biden and the European Union countries coinciding with the first anniversary of the outbreak of the events of October 7, and warned of a dangerous slide that could drag the region and the world into ongoing wars.”
It quoted al-Sudani as saying: “Today, in light of the serious repercussions witnessed by the region, we direct our message to all friends, especially US President Joe Biden, and the European Union countries, that we stand on the threshold of a dangerous slide that could drag the region and the world into ongoing wars, shake the global economy, and expose development to a m
ajor setback, since our region represents the lungs from which the world breathes energy.”
He added: “Our government has worked hard to spare Iraq the effects of this escalation, and we have succeeded in doing so with you and in cooperation with all friends in the world,” noting: “The current stage requires doubling our efforts, and our top priorities should be to stop targeting civilians, and save the region from the evils of a war that leaves nothing behind, and in which there will be no winner except the logic of killing, sabotage and destruction.” The Prime Minister stressed: “Iraq will continue its efforts and endeavors with friendly and Arab countries, and work together to calm down, and prevent the expansion of the conflict that affects the security of the region and the world.”
Al-Sabah newspaper, published by the Iraqi Media Network, analyzed the accurate diagnosis of Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani of the dangers of the continued Zionist aggression on Gaza and Lebanon and the possibility of
the war expanding.
The newspaper said: “The region should not be left to the adventures of the mad arsonists. This is the gist of the message that Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani sent yesterday to the American President and European leaders. It is in fact a message to the whole world, especially to those who are able to make an effort that would change the course of events and divert them from their current path, which, as everyone knows, is a path leading to disaster.”
It added: “The economic data was the most prominent feature in al-Sudani’s message, because the economy is the global language that everyone speaks fluently. It is the speech of the prime minister of the country that contains the world’s energy reserves, and when he warns of the shaking of the global economy and puts his finger on signs of an upcoming setback, everyone should listen to what he says.”
It continued: “The message, despite its brevity, outlined the features of the crisis. It named the aggressor entity and listed its crim
es that have brought the world to the brink of collapse. It praised some European positions that could curb this entity, and clarified Iraq’s position calling for calm and seeking to reject the language of wars and violence and to give priority to the discourse calling for economic development and establishing peace in order to achieve what is good for all the peoples of the region.”
Al-Zaman newspaper discussed the obstacles facing investment and companies’ work, and the necessity of keeping investment activities and tenders away from the policy of monopoly.
Economic expert Mitham Al-Bolani said in an interview with the newspaper: “The Competition Affairs and Anti-Monopoly Law serves companies 100 %, and enhances companies’ activity in the process of selecting accountants, wages, and other financial issues.”
While a company owner, who the newspaper said refused to reveal his name, confirmed: “The necessity of protecting companies from illegal competition and monopoly by entities or companies that monopoli
ze the market based on their government relations and proximity to influential parties.”
He explained: “The granting of land plots and contracts is done according to favoritism, personal interests, and kinship with officials,” indicating: “There are entities that monopolize large commercial projects, and prevent anyone from entering or participating in them.”
Regarding the challenges facing companies, he stressed: ‘The ministries concerned with projects and commercial tenders require the applicant to submit similar works, and this is an incorrect condition, and other countries do not deal with it,’ noting: ‘Some companies are new, but they are financially and administratively strong, and only need government support.’
