Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Rebellion of a rich country’s poor
2018-07-22
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The war on terror has ended in Iraq and levers of power now rest in the hands of Shiite parties with varying degrees of links with Iran. Who is responsible for this failure? Who is the corrupt? Which party is depriving Iraqi people of their national wealth? The country of Tigris and Euphrates is thirsty!

The country with the third largest oil reserves in the world is staggering without electricity. The country claiming "victory over ISIS" is controlled by militias of the Popular Mobilization Forces which are no less sectarian than ISIS! The country of free elections is experiencing the biggest electoral fraud!

Today, the deteriorating situation has been worsened by a new element. The protests have revealed a bitter truth. The Najaf Airport which protesters stormed and closed is managed by the militias of five parties including the ruling Dawa party. In this sense, the news from Iraq is more surprising than news emanating from some of the "banana republics" in Central America.

#1  The country with the third largest oil reserves in the world ...
In the days of fracking is this still a valid argument?

As to production: USA 11.4 million bbl a day, Russia 11.1 million bbl a day, Saudi 10 million bbl a day... Iraq is at 4 million bbl a day and Iran at 3 million bbl a day ... Nigeria 2 million bbl a day, ... Venezuela 1.58M
