Rebuilding Iraq part 1
Whilst victorious in the elections the Iraqi National Movement still had it work cut out for it, as Iraq was a still a mess in the aftermath of the revolution.
The INM begun working on and implementing several strategies to rebuild the Iraqi economy with the long term goal being the partial privatisation of Iraq’s oil industry to raise money to reinvest in the Iraqi economy. And this process had started shortly after the election
In the short term however there were more immediate issues that couldn’t wait. Many Iraqi’s had no/limited access to water, food and electricity due to damage caused by the fighting. Whilst the army was ordered to help distribute food and water (plus clear the remaining debris) these utilities had to be fixed/ restored. To accomplish this the Iraqi’s turned to the Gulf States for help, which they received. The Gulf States construction corporations were hired for help with the restoration.
One of the major one's unfortunately were the family of the man who would commit the worse act of terrorism on US soil*
This was the beginning of a form of integration with the Gulf States as they were also interested in Iraqi oil and the INM were interested in replicating the relative success of the Gulf States. Another factor was that considering the alliance of the Gulf States and the US it made since to join this bloc.
However they needed to tread carefully as they didn’t want to upset the Shia vote (turn it against them) from becoming too associated with monarchies (namely the Saudi’s) infamous for their repression of Shia populations so a ‘great balancing act was needed in order build better relations and not risk future elections.
On top of this they had to negotiate with the Kurdish fractions for the creation of the Kurdish Regional Government namely the delegated powers and set a time for elections to take place for the KRG government as well.
The agreed upon territory for the KRG.
* Osama's family owns the largest contortion firm in the Wold so I thought it would only be natural at this point that they would be involved in rebuilding areas of Iraq as part of any agreement with Saudi Arabia, I will stress that this doesn't automatically results in AL-Qeda links being established as he has been called the black sheep of the family many times.
