If the SDP thought that they would quietly reintroduce Hussein al-Taee back into Finnish political life, unscathed, think again…
This is the same Iraqi-Finn who, while working as a “peace-negotiator” for Martii Ahtisaari’s Soros funded CMI, was found to have written anti-Jewish/anti-Gay/anti-US/anti-Israel posts on Facebook. It was only after a series of article by Benjamin Weinthal for the Jerusalem Post (citing Anter Yasa and the TT as sources, did Al-Taee finally admit that he had written the posts.
Parliamentarian Hussein al-Taee reported false information regarding his training-claimed to have completed two university degrees in Poland
Yesterday at 17:17
On the basis of an Iltalehti report, SDP’s parliamentarian, Hussein al-Taee, has reported false information in relation to his training.
The revelation was based on an al-Taee’s public LinkedIn profile that corresponds in practice to an electronic resume.
In his LinkedIn profile linked to its pages, al-Taee reported that he had completed a bachelors degree in Finland and the UK, as well as two higher degrees in Poland. In addition, Al-Taee reported that he has a degree in international relations and diplomacy.
This is not true on the basis of an Iltalehti report. Al-Taee has, to say the least, embellished his CV.
No information found on the diploma
According to Metropolia University of Applied Sciences, al-Taee studied in Metropolia and graduated from the Business Education programme in 2010. It is a bachelor’s degree. Al-Taee’s thesis dealt with federalism in Iraq.
Al-Taee completed some of his studies in Lincoln, UK, so it is a Double Degree.
In his LinkedIn profile, al-Taee said he had been studying international Relations and Diplomacy in Lincoln, and received a “diploma”.
According to Lincoln’s official response, Al-Taee studied in Lincoln from September 2008 to June 2010 International Management. No information is found in the Lincoln Systems on the international relations and Diplomacy diploma mentioned by Al-Taee.
No information on Lincoln’s systems is found in the study on international relations and diplomacy, as mentioned by Al-Tao. Screenshot

“Data was incomplete”
The Iltalehti pursued al-Taeta again on Monday 22. July, when his sick leave ended at the end of April.
You have informed the Parliament that you are a master of Science in Economics (M.SC.). You have not completed a master’s degree in economics at a Finnish university, so you do not have the right to use that qualification title and The Economist’s title. Why have you used them anyway?
– In July I have requested that the doctrine of the Parliament should either be in its long form in English (Masters Degree in International Management, International Business Programme) or, in the spirit of the Bologna Agreement, in the KTM-Kumm Just looking there for the business.
Your delegate pages initially had a Cv with a link to your Linkedin profile. Now there’s no mention of your education and experience on the website, and the link to your Linkedin profile has also been removed. What is this?
“I’m not responding to a page update, so I can’t reply.”
In your LinkedIn profile, you reported to have completed two higher education degrees (master’s Degree) at the University of Warsaw. However, this is not true. Why did you claim that you have two higher education degrees from Warsaw? Have you embellished your CV?
– My Linkedin profile has been completed in July. I have not argued that I have two higher degrees of higher education, but that I have studied another degree, which unfortunately remained unfinished in the middle of the CMI.
In your Linkedin profile, you will be notified that you have a “Diploma” in international relations and diplomacy from Lincoln. Why was there no information on the Lincoln systems?
– A processor with several courses in the Lincoln School of Social and Political Sciences. The courses have a separate certificate.
Do you have the above-mentioned “Diploma” and what does it mean?
– Answer above.
On your Linkedin profile, you are a doctoral student (Graduate Student) at the University of Warsaw and the subject of the final work is Federalism in Iraq and the lucrative investment opportunities for Europe. What is this study about?
– Was certainly supposed to click on the option Post-Graduate Student. In my final work, I decided to write about the reform of the Iraqi pension system. I have not been active on LinkedIn, so my profile information was incomplete and was inaccurate in some respects.
You changed your Linkedin profile information after the evening newspaper approached you for the first time in 14. June. Why did you change the data?
– My Linkedin profile has been completed in July. As I described above, I have not been active on LinkedIn, so my profile information was incomplete and in some respects inaccurate. However, I have not argued that I have two higher degrees, but that I have studied for another degree.

CMI did not review the diplomas
According to Tuija Talvitien, head of the Cmi’s operations, the conflict resolution organisation, Al-Taee started a consultant in September 2014. In January 2015, the manager of Al-Tao presented to the management group the hiring of al-Tao as an employee.
According to the winter Road, the approved presentation was based on the evidence of al-Tao as a consultant and the recommendations of experts trusted by the Cmia. The recruitment process took place in accordance with the practices of the Cmia according to the Winter road.
– Al-Taee had worked for the CMI as a consultant and demonstrated that he was in control of the tasks related to his work then. The task to which he was hired did not require a higher academic degree, the Talvitie says in her reply.
According to Talvitie, CMI does not always check the study or diplomas of its employees unless there is a specific reason for doing so.
– In the case of Al-Taee, there is no documentation of the amendment. CMI always checks the recruitment recommendations and talks with the referrals, says Talvitie.
Sick leave until spring
Hussein al-Taee, 36, fell into the eye of the storm after the parliamentary election in April, when it emerged that al-Taee, a peace negotiator, had published racist, antisemitic and homophobic writings on social media Between 2011 and 2015.
The writings of Al-Taee became embarrassing and a surprise to both to the SDP and to the CMI, which was set up by President Martti Ahtisaari, which relied on the good repute of al-Taee.
Al-Taee first denied that he was behind the writings published on social media and claimed them as manipulated photos. This was not true, and finally al-Taee issued that they were his writings. The brouhaha was ready.
The briefing was held in the Parliament’s State Hall 29. April. On the evening of the same day, al-Taee visited Yle’s A Studio, where he was asked if there were still new skeletons in his closet.
– I think that each of us has things that do not want to be revealed, al-Taee said.
Shortly after his visit, al-Taee was hospitalized and was sick on holiday until Sunday.
There is no degree in economics
As a representative of the Prime Minister’s party, al-Taee is a prominent public authority.
Al-Taee lied in the scriptures to his own party, his constituents and his former employer. For this reason, the evening newspaper decided to find out whether al-Taee has been honest about his training in Finland and abroad.
This is how al-Taee tells the story itself on its own website (rauhantaee.fi).
“After high school, I studies international relations, leadership and Business Economics in Warsaw and London. I am an M.Sc. in economics.
According to the Department of Administration and Services, Al-Taee has submitted a form with the inscription “KTM”, i.e. M.Sc. (Econ.). The master’s degree in economics can only be completed at the Finnish University and Al-Taee has not completed any university degree in Finland.
According to the Department of Economics, the value of an economist may only be used by a person who has graduated as a master of economics. Al-Taee has presented itself as an economic.
