Security and economy debates accelerate in Iraq as September 30 approaches
Ahead of September 30, when coalition forces will complete their military mission, security, illegal weapons, and economic uncertainties come to the forefront in Iraq.
As September 30 approaches, the date when the military mission of coalition forces in Iraq will end, the withdrawal of foreign forces, the bringing of illegal weapons under state control, and economic fluctuations rank among the most important agenda items in the country.
September 30 date and sovereignty preparations
The Iraqi government is preparing to celebrate September 30, when the military mission of coalition forces will end, as 'sovereignty day'.
Officials state that this turning point will transform the country's ties with international coalition partners into relations based on mutual interest.
Security and airspace capacity
Analysts warn that political and security risks could deepen with the departure of foreign forces from the field.
Experts note that Iraq currently cannot fully control its airspace and that flights require US approval.
The issue of controlling illegal weapons
Full consensus has not yet been reached regarding bringing weapons under state control following the withdrawal of coalition forces.
It is stated that if weapons are not gathered in the hands of the state, economic pressures may increase and legal measures will be implemented.
Economic uncertainties and exchange rate
The unstoppable rise of the dollar against the Iraqi dinar in the free market draws attention.
Concerns regarding the period after September 30 are effective in 100 US dollars exceeding 160 thousand Iraqi dinars.
