Shafaq News/ The imposition of a comprehensive curfew in Iraq has caused concern among Iraqis, especially the earners of them, as a result of the suspension of their work, amid anticipation of what will happen in the future in light of a difficult economic situation, while an economic expert reduced the "fear" as a result of the actions of economic organizations to confront the current situation. .
The economic expert, Rashid Al-Saadi, told Shafaq News, "The private sector and in any country in the world is greatly affected by the turbulence and instability, but in Iraq, there are many measures, especially what professional organizations are doing, including the Baghdad Chamber of Commerce, the Federation of Chambers of Commerce, and the Federation of industries, and others, by helping to avoid this problem.”
He added, "These organizations provide the requirements and needs of citizens, by granting bags (special licenses) to merchants and means of transportation, to ensure that there is no shortage of food, and this is what happened previously in the Corona pandemic crisis, and in other similar cases."
The economic expert expressed his "hope" that the private sector would respond to the instructions of the Chambers of Commerce and the Baghdad Chamber of Commerce in this regard, and not to resort to increasing prices," noting that "the materials are available, and certainly there will be government steps to facilitate the entry of foodstuffs imported from abroad with full flow."
And on the impact of closing markets on citizens, especially the earners, the economist explained, “The private sector will certainly be greatly affected, and they will suffer losses, but this will be avoided by giving them special approvals to transport their goods and open their markets, so there must be procedures between the Ministry of Trade and the Ministry of Interior. and professional organizations, each in his governorate.
On Monday, the Joint Operations Command announced a comprehensive curfew in all governorates of Iraq, from seven in the evening, Monday, until further notice.
And the Iraqi Prime Minister, Mustafa Al-Kazemi, directed, on Monday evening, to suspend the official working hours for tomorrow, Tuesday, in all governorates of the country, and to continue the comprehensive curfew, against the background of recent developments and clashes in the Green Zone.
Violent clashes are taking place with medium and heavy weapons in the Green Zone, which includes government headquarters and diplomatic missions, as the vicinity of the US embassy building was bombed with five mortar missiles, and the Dutch authorities evacuated its embassy staff in Baghdad to another place as a result of the tense situation.
So far, dozens of protesters and Iraqi security forces have been killed and wounded, as a result of the clashes that took place inside the Green Zone, since the riot police began trying to break up the Sadrist protests in the government palace.
This escalation comes against the background of the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, announcing his retirement from political work and the closure of all political, media and social institutions associated with him, and stressing his followers not to use his name or the name of the movement in any political or media activity.
As a result, the Green Zone and government institutions in a number of southern governorates became a field of clashes after the Sadrists began the "zero hour", turning their sit-in into a general rebellion and mobilization.
