Baghdad mayor threatens to resign over lack of funds


Compiled by Daily Star staff
Friday, July 01, 2005


Baghdad's mayor threatened to resign if the government fails to provide the funds and support needed to implement development projects in the capital, complaining Baghdadis were suffering from water shortages. Meanwhile, an Iraqi politician received death threats a day after launching a party that would represent the "resistance."

In a bid to improve relations with its neighbor, a delegation sent by Damascus met with Deputy Foreign Minister, Hamid al-Bayyati, to discuss preparations for the reopening of the Syrian Embassy in Baghdad. Bayyati's office declined to give details on the meeting.

"It's useless for any official to stay in office without having the means to accomplish his job," Baghdad Mayor Alaa Mahmoud al-Timimi said in a news conference.

He said President Jalal Talabani and Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari had promised him to secure the needed funds.
