Shafaq News/ Representatives of the protesting teachers in Sulaymaniyah revealed, on Sunday, the details of their meeting with the Prime Minister of the Federal Council, Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani, and the promises he made to improve the living conditions of the citizens of Kurdistan, similar to the rest of the Iraqi provinces.
Dilshad Mirani, the representative of the protesting teachers, said during a press conference held in Sulaymaniyah, attended by Shafaq News Agency, that “during the visit of a delegation of teachers, employees and retirees to Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani yesterday, Saturday, a memorandum was presented bearing all the concerns and demands of the citizens of the region.”
He added, “The Prime Minister promised to solve the salary problem early next year, and stressed that the budget law will be presented to Parliament on January 9 and will provide a solution to many problems.”
He stated that “Al-Sudani promised to open branches of Al-Rashid and Al-Rafidain Banks in the region, to ensure equal rights for citizens in Kurdistan, like those of citizens of other Iraqi provinces, to address the problem of fuel prices, and to put pressure on the regional government to solve the problem of bonuses and promotions.”
Regarding the return of studies in Sulaymaniyah schools, Mirani stressed that “the return is linked to the implementation of promises by government agencies.”
Teachers and lecturers in Sulaymaniyah and a number of regions of Kurdistan have been on strike since the start of the new academic year on the thirteenth of last September, against the backdrop of delays in disbursing employees’ salaries due to faltering negotiations with Baghdad to disburse the region’s share of the federal budget for the current year.
