A report by the American Century Foundation confirmed, on Thursday, that a number of challenges face the survival and continuation of the Sudanese government, most notably American economic pressures.
The report, translated by the Maalouma Agency, stated, “Despite the progress achieved in Iraq in the services sector, providing job opportunities, and reducing tensions at the regional level, the three main challenges still remain, as data and reports highlight the risks of economic collapse due to deep structural challenges and complete dependence on… Oil exports, and one of the issues that has proven to be particularly difficult for the government to deal with is the devaluation of the dinar and the pressure exerted by the United States to restrict the flow of the dollar and its impact on the Iraqi market.”
The report added, “The other obstacle is social unrest and the fear of escalating tensions in Kirkuk, especially with the approaching local elections next December. Climate change also prompts migration from the countryside to cities, leading to an inflation of the population in the cities, with limited opportunities and weak infrastructure.” Infrastructure crime may increase.
The report stated, “The most difficult dilemma facing the current government is the issue of corruption, and defeating it is not a simple task. It appears that its treatment is still lackluster, as no one has been truly held accountable for the wide-ranging issues that reach the heart of politically enabled corruption, such as the “theft of $2.5 billion,” which is called the theft of the century. This corruption continues to cause tragedies and losses at the national level.”
The report pointed out that “Al-Sudani has so far succeeded in balancing the interests of the competing parties in the coalition he leads. For example, he concluded deals to maintain federal funding for Iraqi Kurdistan. However, it is unclear whether he can continue to make such deals with… The elections are approaching and the competition is intense.
