The Iraqi parliament's foreign relations committee in June launched an ambitious initiative to reclaim billions of dollars in state assets believed to be scattered across Africa, Asia and Europe. The move came only weeks after a stunning revelation at the Arab League summit in Baghdad: Somalia's president, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, informed his hosts that an Iraqi-built oil refinery outside Mogadishu-forgotten for decades-was still intact.

Basra rally denounces Khor Abdullah agreement as betrayal
Shafaq News – Basra On Friday, hundreds of Iraqis protested outside the Kuwaiti consulate in Basra province to reject the Khor Abdullah maritime agreement, denouncing what they called a 'surrender of maritime sovereignty.' Ali al-Abbadi, a representative of the demonstrators, told Shafaq News Agency that the issue of the Khor Abdullah agreement and its implications for Iraq's maritime boundaries remains a point of contention between the government and the people. 'While the Iraqi public sees the deal as humiliating and a violation of the country's territory and waters, the government views it as an unavoidable reality due to UN Security Council Resolution 833 of 1993.' Al-Abbadi added that the Federal Supreme Court had settled the dispute in September 2023 by declaring the 2013 law ratifying the agreement unconstitutional. However, he noted that public outrage followed a statement by Faiq Zidan, head of Iraq's Supreme Judicial Council, who—after a visit to Kuwait—claimed the court had rejected the same challenge it had previously upheld, arguing it lacked constitutional or legal grounds. Earlier, a majority of Iraqi lawmakers voiced support for the Federal Supreme Court's decision to void the agreement. MP Amer Abdul-Jabbar told Shafaq News that 194 out of 329 parliamentarians had signed a petition addressed to the head of the court, endorsing the September 2023 ruling.
