Thursday saw a research by the American Century Foundation confirming that among other challenges, American economic pressure is the primary threat to the survival of the Sudanese government.
According to a study taken from an unidentified source, Iraq has developed in the sectors of services, employment opportunities, and reduction of regional conflicts. Still, three main problems needing attention have to be fixed. Deep structural issues and Iraq’s complete reliance on oil exports hint to a possible economic collapse of hers. One of the issues the government is working on is the devaluation of the dinar, which US restrictions on dollar flow have resulted in, therefore affecting the Iraqi economy.
The study indicates that social unrest and anxiety of growing tensions in Kirkuk, particularly with the forthcoming municipal elections in December, pose the toughest issues. The report also underlines how migration from rural areas to cities is driven by climate change, therefore raising the population of metropolitan areas with less possibilities and poor infrastructure. Furthermore suggested in the research is the possibility of infrastructure crime rising.
The report claims that the greatest challenge the current government faces and a difficult one to solve is corruption. The research indicates that since nobody has been held accountable for the pervasive political corruption with solid roots, the anti-corruption policies of the government have been useless. The studies document, for instance, the “theft of $2.5 billion,” frequently referred to as the crime of the century. This corruption still raises tremendous concern since it has led to tragedies and significant losses all around.
According to the article, Al-Sudani has been successful in balancing the interests of the many coalition members. He has, for instance, developed offers to ensure Iraqi Kurdistan’s official funding. Still unknown, though, given the approaching elections and increasing competitiveness, if he can keep reaching such agreements.
