Dozens of activists demonstrated on Sunday in Nisour Square, west of Baghdad, demanding the cancellation of the Khor Abdullah Agreement between Iraq and Kuwait .
A Shafaq News Agency correspondent said, “Dozens of people held a protest in Al-Nusour Square in the Mansour district of Baghdad, raising slogans and chanting slogans criticizing the government and political parties regarding the continuation of the Khor Abdullah agreement .”
He added that “the demonstration was attended by dozens of activists from the southern governorates, who confirmed that they would expand the scope of the protests if their demands were not met .”
The agreement regulating navigation in Khor Abdullah, concluded in 2012 between the Republic of Iraq and the State of Kuwait, is a technical and administrative solution to the effects of the invasion of Kuwait by Saddam Hussein’s regime in 1990 and the resulting demarcation of borders pursuant to Security Council Resolution No. (833) of 1993. Article 6 of the agreement affirms that “the agreement does not affect the borders between the two parties in Khor Abdullah established pursuant to Security Council Resolution No. (833) of 1993. ”
The Iraqi Council of Ministers approved the draft ratification law at the end of 2012, and the House of Representatives approved it by a simple majority pursuant to Law No. (42) of 2013, and then it was published in the Iraqi Gazette, Issue No. (4299) dated 11/25/2013 .
