Iraq Security and Humanitarian Monitor: May 12 – 19, 2022

  • Sadr Lashes Out At Rivals, Judiciary; UNAMI Says Political Will To End Deadlock Is “Painfully Absent”; Parliament Bypasses Court Ruling On Spending Bill; Salah Ad-Din Governor Sacked — On May 16, Muqtada al-Sadr attacked his rivals in the Coordination Framework (CF) and the Federal Supreme Court after the latter blocked a Sadr-backed IQD25 trillion spending bill. Sadr issued a veiled threat to his rivals, warning of “the anger of the patient and the oppressed.” On May 17, the head of UNAMI told the Security Council that despite repeated talk of dialogue, the political will to reach a solution to the post-election deadlock was “painfully absent.” The problem, according to UANMI, was that “the national interest is…taking a backseat to short-sighted considerations of control over resources.” On May 18, the Iraqi Parliament’s Financial Committee presented a new draft of the “Emergency Support for Food Security and Development” bill to the Speaker of Parliament, and on the following day, the legislature conducted a first reading of the IQD25 trillion bill. An earlier draft with the same title was first presented by PM Kadhimi’s Cabinet in late March, but the Federal Supreme Court ruled on May 15 that a caretaker government lacks the power to present bills. On May 19, Parliament voted to sack the governor of Salah ad-Din province, Ammar Jabr al-Jubouri, who was investigated in April for allegedly soliciting bribes from contractors. In other developments, on May 19, a document circulating on local news sites appeared to show that five lawmakers from the Emtidad movement had decided to withdraw from the party in objection to unilateral decisions made by the party’s secretary general, Ala’ al-Rikabi. more…

    UN envoy urges Iraqi politicians to ‘roll up sleeves’ and meet people’s aspirations

    NEW YORK — The top United Nations official in Iraq made an urgent appeal on Tuesday for the prompt formation of a new Government that meets the aspirations of that country’s people.

    “National elections took place well over seven months ago and multiple deadlines for the formation of a government have been missed,” Special Representative Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert told the Security Council.

    She pointed out that while political leaders subscribe to the notion of dialogue, the necessary willingness to compromise is painfully absent.

    Noting that notorious aspects of Iraq’s political life are repeating themselves in “a seemingly incessant loop of zero-sum politics”, Ms. Hennis-Plasschaert – who also heads the UN Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) – said that Iraqis continue to wait for “a political class that will roll up its sleeves to make headway on the country’s long list of outstanding domestic priorities”.

    These include adequate service delivery to all citizens and an end to pervasive corruption, factionalism and pillaging of State institutions.

    The UNAMI chief also emphasized the importance of diversifying the economy and implementing desperately needed reforms.

    Moreover, she said that predictable governance rather than constant crisis management is needed, stressing that accountability must be a key feature of the State.

    While asserting the State’s authority, Hennis-Plasschaert flagged that it is vital to rein in non-state armed actors.

    “The neglect of the population’s most basic needs has gone on for far too long,” she underscored.

    Turning to the Sinjar agreement, signed in October 2020 by the federal government in Baghdad and the Kurdistan regional government in Erbil, she described it as being seen by many as a “glimmer of hope: a very first but important step in the right direction”.

    While the agreement could lead to a new chapter for Sinjar, it first needs stable governance and security structures, she pointed out.

    Despite having called for speedy implementation,…

    Softball: Bell’s extra-inning walk off propels No. 19 Lenape

    Nikki Williams and Maya Knasiak combined for a two-hit shutout while Taylor Bell drove in the game’s only run in extra innings as Lenape, No. 19 in the NJ.com Top 20, earned a 1-0, eight-inning victory over host Shawnee Wednesday afternoon.

    Williams and Knasiak combined to allow just two hits and one walk while striking out 14 batters. Knasiak earned the win despite Williams pitching six innings and striking out nine batters.

    Lenape (17-2) tallied eight hits throughout the game but didn’t get on the scoreboard until the top of the eighth inning thanks to Bell’s RBI single that proved to be the lone run of the day for either team.

    Bell also tallied a double on the day while Vanessa Meyers went 3-for-4 with a trio of singles. Leah Taylor added a double as well.

    Nella Sciarra and Lauren Petitt each recorded a single for Shawnee (11-9) as Alexandra Pley and Sophia Waterman both found success in the circle. Waterman was tagged with the loss despite allowing six hits and an unearned run while Pley struck out three batters in three innings of work.

    “Brooke’s Toy Closet” expanding to Seaford hospital to continue giving comfort to children

    SEAFORD, Del.- Tuesday morning TidalHealth Nanticoke honored a little girl who passed away from cancer.

    The hospital received a toy closet for kids, which is an expansion of the “Brooke’s Toy Closet” initiative that started in 2014 at the TidalHealth Peninsula Regional, in Salisbury.

    Brooke Mulford was an 8- year-old girl who was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, an aggressive form of cancer, in 2009 when she was only 4-years-old, she endured numerous rounds of chemotherapy and radiation, several surgeries, two stem cell transplants, multiple bone marrow biopsies and blood transfusions. She was treated at several hospitals, including at TidalHealth.

    Brooke ended up losing her battle to cancer in June of 2017.

    During her fight with cancer, Brooke wanted to provide toys to other hospitalized children because she knew how it felt to receive toys herself during her hospital stays.

    So, now with the toy closet expanding we’re told it’s going to support even more kids.

    “When you’re able to give them something that will distract them something to put a smile on their face or can make a huge difference for them and it makes them think that the next time they come maybe it won’t be so scary,” Penny Short, President of TidalHealth Nanticoke, said.

    TidalHealth workers and those who helped Brooke’s Toy Closet come to life gathered for a ribbon cutting to celebrate the expansion. Amy Mulford, Brooke’s mother, was also there.

    Amy said this is the third toy closet that’s opened and all are in different states. She said Brooke would be thrilled to see another toy closet come to life and for Amy she said it means a lot as it gives her a reason to keep going.

    “I feel like there has to be a reason my heart kept beating when Brooke’s stopped because…

    PENGUINS TAKE BACK PLAYOFF SPOT BY ROUTING ISLES, 9-2

    BOXSCORE

    WILKES-BARRE, Pa. – The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins delighted a packed house at Mohegan Sun Arena with a dominant, 9-2 victory over the Bridgeport Islanders on Saturday night.

    With playoff position hanging in the balance, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (30-27-4-4) unloaded a franchise record-tying nine goals. Seven different Penguins accounted for those nine goals, and 15 different players recorded at least one point in the rout of their division rival.

    Bridgeport managed to score the game’s first two goals, with Austin Czarnik and Chris Terry burying both of the Islanders’ tallies.

    After that, it was all Penguins…

    Alex Nylander started the frenzy at 13:48 of the first period. The Penguins then flipped their 2-1 deficit into a 4-2 lead by generating three goals in 1:30 of game time during the second period. Sam Poulin tied things up at 5:43 of the middle frame, followed by a strike from Jamie Devane 20 seconds later. Less than a minute after that, Félix Robert put the Pens up by two.

    After that three-goal outburst, Bridgeport called its timeout. The break did little to stop the unrelenting pressure of the home team, who continued to run up the score.

    Kyle Olson got in on the fun after he forced a neutral-zone turnover and finished with a backhand shot past Islanders goalie Jakub Škarek. Olson’s goal came with 4:05 left in the second stanza, and then Michael Chaput tacked on another with 2:10 remaining.

    The Islanders switched goalies at the start of the third period, but it still resulted in more Penguins goals. Drew O’Connor beat backup Ken Appleby through the five-hole 28 seconds into the final frame.

    Poulin notched his second of the night at 7:26 of the third period, and then O’Connor rounded out the nine-goal outing…
