Kareem Al-Jabouri

Kareem Al-Jabouri is a former member of the Diyala Provincial Council, known for his insights on local governance and economic development. He has been vocal about the challenges facing infrastructure projects in Diyala, particularly the proposed civilian airport in the Mansouriya region. Al-Jabouri attributes the project's stagnation to a lack of governmental seriousness and the strategic proximity of Diyala to Baghdad, which he argues diminishes its economic viability. His comments reflect a broader frustration with the unfulfilled promises of local and national authorities regarding infrastructure development in post-war Iraq, and he emphasizes the importance of the airport for regional connectivity and economic growth.
