- Finance Minister Ali Abdul-Amir Allawi resigned today amidst Iraq’s continuing political crisis.
- In the letter, of which Al-Monitor received a copy, Allawi praised the Kadhimi government for its great achievements in the economic sector and the foreign relations field.
- Allawi’s resignation occurs during a sensitive time in Iraq as the two main Shiite forces — the Sadrists and the Coordination Framework — protest in and around the Green Zone where the majority of government buildings and foreign ministries are located.
