Sulaimaniyah,
Kurdistan-Iraq - About 200 persons, mainly from
the cultural media in Sulaimaniyah city, have
gathered at Azadi Park in the city center to discuss
a memorandum that was drafted on behalf of the
committee of supervising the popular gatherings, on
the spread of administrative corruption, before
submitting it to Sulaimaniyah province.
Al Sharq Al Awsat has been informed that the
memorandum concentrates on five major points. The
scholars demand for 'handling the spread of
corruption and solving the problems of the shortage
of electricity and drinking water, in addition to
the fuel and housing crises." The memorandum has
also included reference to other problems that the
residents are suffering from, such as the high
prices and lack of other necessary services.
After discussions, the majority approved the content
of the memorandum and it was decided to submit it to
the competent authorities, as it is. Sulaimaniyah
governor, his deputy, and the deputy president of
the municipality have expressed their support to the
style adopted by the scholars in their protest. They
also expressed their approval of the content of the
memorandum that was supposed to be officially
