On 28 September, Al-Ghadeer TV (Badr Organization — official) captioned political analyst Sabah al-Akili as saying Iraq lacked genuine sovereignty, the Federal Reserve controlled its economy and alternatives had prevented a deficit. An adjacent caption attributed to him the description of Iraq as under an American umbrella. These are al-Akili’s attributed assertions, not an announcement by Badr Organization.
