2023-02-01T11:44:02.000000 Z / The First Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Mohsen Al-Mandalawi, thought about dialogue in between Erbil and
Baghdad as the finest way to deal with federal and Kurdish government differences.During a meeting with the KRG Vice President, Qubad
Talabani, Al-Mandalawi stressed the requirement to continue the favorable coordination in between Baghdad and Erbil, as it is the best
method to find understandings and deal with the outstanding problems to deal with present and future challenges
Negotiations are underway in between the 2 sides to resolve the differences, consisting of oil, the financial spending plan, and the
Peshmerga deployment in the disputed locations
Throughout the Government of former Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi (2018-2020), both sides concluded an agreement that requires Baghdad to
pay all the salaries of the Kurdistan Region for the very first time since 2014
In return, Erbil would deliver the revenue of 250,000 barrels of oil out of nearly 500,000 barrels that Kurdistan exports
independently.Baghdad stated Erbil did not adhere to this arrangement almost completely, while the Kurdish Government validated that it
fulfilled its promises.In May 2020, former PM Mustafa Al-Kadhimi decided to stop paying the salaries of the Regions staff members, amounting
to almost 500 million dollars each month, due to the monetary crisis
The Regions senior authorities, consisting of President Nechirvan Barzani and Deputy Prime Minister Qubad Talabani, went to Baghdad
frequently to discover services, but sAnother part of the argument is the challenged areas.The Iraqi army forces restored in October 2017
control of the Kirkuk Governorate and the disputed locations, extending across a strip starting east from Diyala, passing through Saladin,
and reaching southwest of Nineveh.The Iraqi Kurdistan utilized to keep control over all those locations after the collapse of the Iraqi army
in 2014 following the attack by ISIS.Since 2017, security in Kirkuk and the challenged areas has been preserved through numerous federal
forces, including the army, the federal authorities, the counter-terrorism service, and the Popular Mobilization Forces
An announced arrangement between Baghdad and Erbil stated that 4 joint security centers be formed in the disputed locations in Kirkuk,
Diyala, Makhmur, and Mosul, to cover the vacuum locations between the army and the Peshmerga to avoid ISIS activities
Nevertheless, the agreement is now suspended, and both sides accuse each other of an absence of responsiveness
Now, with a new round of talks, numerous future circumstances are posed for the relationship
However hope was raised by forming a brand-new federal government head by Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani
Just recently, the talks faced a brand-new bloc.After the Federal Government authorized sending 400 billion dinars to pay the staff members
incomes for November and December 2022, Iraqs highest judicial body ruled that month-to-month remittances to the Kurdistan Regional
Government were unlawful and unconstitutional
The President of Kurdistan Region, Nechirvan Barzani, thought about the Federal Supreme Courts decision suspicious and unreasonable
the Courts decision is unjust ..
it targets the political process and the political contract on which the brand-new Iraqi government was formed
This does not just target workers in Kurdistan who are Iraqi citizens however rather the whole procedure and political stability, Barzani
said.He continued, The choice of the Iraqi Federal Supreme Court at this time is absolutely nothing but suspicious and doubtful
KRG described the decision as a hostile action versus the rights of the citizens of the Kurdistan Region and their constitutional
financial entitlements.The declaration continued, The Kurdistan Region is a federal constitutional region, and these decisions are a
flagrant infraction of the Iraqi constitution and the contract of the State Administration Coalition that formed the brand-new federal
government and contradicted the ministerial program approved by Parliament
