Iraq is moving to join global trade…
“In the presence of the Director of the WTO’s Accession Department Ms. Maika Oshikawo, and her assistants at the Organization’s headquarters, talking about ways to activate the file of Iraq’s accession to the organization and the importance of continuing work in completing the technical documents to complete the requirements for accession and overcome the obstacles and challenges facing the accession process.

“Stressed the importance of the country’s accession to the World Trade Organization, which will help complete many reforms, through binding international commitmenets, and enable Iraq to benefit from a multilateral trading system that is transparent, extrapolable, and based on rules.’

What I Love About MntGoat

Years ago, I came to appreciate MntGoat for two things. First, the gurus started to hate her; some even banned her from their calls and chat-rooms. She was making sense and they were often off in la-la-land. “Hope-ium” hates facts, I suppose! Second, and at the same time, she backed up everything she said. She didn’t just push an assertion, she crafted a judgement and included facts to support it, often providing links to the sources of her facts. MntGoat totally rocks!!


I am no guru, but I read alot about Iraq. Thanks to MntGoat I have had access to some websites that report on Iraq, usually from within Iraq and the Middle East. As you know from reading her posts, the Farsi-to-English translations are VERY hard to understand!!

I have recently found a resource that ‘aggregates’ news about Iraq. In addition to the usual awkwardly translated material they include a variety of English-speaking sources. That is, people writing in English for an English-speaking audience. It is no replacement for news sourced right from Iraq, but these articles often provide great perspective and context…in my language.
