The Prime Minister, Mustafa Al-Kazemi, Thursday (May 13, 2021) addressed a speech to the Iraqi people on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr and a year marking the formation of the government, stressing that the government will play its role in protecting the upcoming electoral process.
Al-Kazemi affirmed, "the government's intention to dry up the sources of terrorism through a series of operations that will be launched to confront ISIS's pockets and offspring," noting that "bullying the state is not without a price, either today or tomorrow."
Al-Kazemi pointed out that “the government has formed a high-level fact-finding team about the events of October 2019 and will announce the results as soon as they are issued,” stressing that “what we have done during one year of fighting corruption is actually equal to what all efforts have produced in this regard for more than 17 years past.” .
IQ NEWS publishes the text of the full speech of the Prime Minister on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr and the year since the formation of the government:In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
The great people of Iraq
Iraqis .. in the entire homeland .
Iraqis ... wherever you are, wherever you go .
Alsaberon steadfast
Peace be upon you and God 's mercy and blessings be upon you
Top - notch you highest congratulations on Eid al - Adha, calling on the Lord Aziz Jalil to bring him back to our pride, dignity, prosperity and victory over all the challenges that confronted the people of Iraq patriotically and responsibility .
The seed of civilization planted here, on this holy land and spread to all parts of the earth, is still ripe in the heart of every Iraqi and every Iraqi, you are builders of the nation, and the heirs of the meanings of identity ..oolasalh .. and tolerance .
I stand before you today, after a year of my performance was sworn in as the Council of Ministers in order to transparently talking together in some Mausbandna challenges over the past year, and how we deal with our responsibility in a complex and articulated transition from the history of Iraq .
Starting say ..
The government that I had the honor to preside was born in an exceptional and dangerous circumstance ... Iraq was standing at a crossroads due to a severe and fateful social crisis ... a crisis that was in fact a natural and inevitable product of mismanagement and the absence of a true will for change and development .
Our primary mission is to conduct fair and just elections, consistent with the will of our people. We have set the tenth of October this year as a deadline for these elections, and we will use all efforts and capabilities for that . .
My government has provided all support for the success of the elections, and our dear national political forces and parties are called to evoke the essence of this country and join together to protect it and overcome the mistakes of the past years by spreading tolerance, coexistence, cooperation and honest competition for the success of the elections .
The forces that confronted the harshest dictatorships of the modern era are undoubtedly worthy of fulfilling this historic responsibility at this critical stage .
Our great people, with all their social, youth, religious and cultural activities, are called to support participation in the elections and the success of their noble goals,
On our part, we fulfilled our pledge to our people by declaring not to participate in the elections or support any party or party at the expense of the other, and we will do our part in protecting the upcoming electoral process .
Our dear
Despite the challenges of the pandemic virus corona all over the world, the government has made progress in controlling the epidemic through a series of measures to reduce the number of injuries and provide better support, and sign agreements for the purchase of vaccines, and proceed with the completion of re - stalled building hospitals in all governorates of Iraq .
Over the past year, the Iraqi government has strengthened state sovereignty and confinement of weapons in its hands by supporting the security forces and restoring confidence between them and society, to counter their role in confronting terrorism, escaped weapons and crime gangs .
Our forces have achieved remarkable development in terms of confronting the pockets of the terrorist organization ISIS. We have succeeded in killing the terrorist who calls himself the Wali of Iraq and the Deputy Caliph, known as Abu Yasser al-Issawi, and the death of the deputy governor of ISIS in Iraq, and ISIS's coordinator of operations in Syria and Iraq, and we are determined to dry up the sources of terrorism and establish stability during a series of operations it will be launched to face pockets Daesh and Veolh .
During the past year, our heroic forces also confronted uncontrolled weapons and outlaw groups that fire missiles at diplomatic missions and Iraqi institutions, and we have hundreds of detainees from outlaws and death squads that have terrorized our people in Basra for the past years and the perpetrators of the assassinations, in addition to drug and weapons gangs .
In this regard , I say ..
Yes, there are still people trying to bully the state, taking advantage of the exceptional circumstances of Iraq, to threaten to drag Iraq into blood and civil war, but everyone must know
.. The bullying state is not without a price, either today or tomorrow. The rights of the state are not subject to the statute of limitations, and everyone who believes that they are stronger than the state will find themselves accountable to its legal institutions, no matter how great their status .
The killers of the martyr activist Ihab Al-Wazni in Karbala will face the fate that the killers of Ahmed Abdul-Samad faced in Basra and the rest of the martyrs, with what they committed against our people and our youth .
My Iraqi family
On occasions and events that we have encountered together during this year, the government has proven its pledges to you that it will not allow blood to be taken lightly, and we have presented the results of the investigation committees that were formed in some unfortunate events, and there are investigative committees that are still working tirelessly in the criminal assassinations cases that occurred during the past year.
The current government has worked to consolidate the principle of announcing the results of the investigation on the specified date and to banish the procrastination that was associated with the formation of the committees previously.
The government has also formed a high-level fact-finding team from former judges that is still collecting data and testimonies about the events of October 2019, and it will announce the results of this commission’s work upon its issuance.
At this time, the government took several measures to deal with the repercussions of these events, such as the release of all those detained because of the demonstrations, as demonstrating is a constitutional right, and we considered the victims in the protest squares as martyrs and their rights were guaranteed,
We have also launched a comprehensive national dialogue project that includes the demonstrators and confirms their legitimate demands, as well as political forces and popular activities.
Our dear, honorable people
In the anti-corruption file, there were only (sayings) before this year ... until the coming of this government that pledged to the people in actions and did, and did not stop despite all the obstacles placed before the Anti-Corruption Committee, and despite all the propaganda campaigns paid for the price that were launched To distort this patriotic duty.
I say, let everyone hear me ....
What we have done in one year of fighting corruption is virtually equal to what all efforts have produced in this regard over the past 17 years.
The state does not forget a debt ,,, I mean ((Al-Kazemi goes to someone else ... the state has forgotten a debt ... and every dinar stolen from the Iraqi people's money will return ... Today we returned a part ... and Bagger returns the rest)) ... this is no Bargaining or bidding on it .. and everyone who tries to bid will reveal himself before the people and in front of history..and history is ruthless.
Dear folks
The government has committed itself to assisting the displaced to return to their homes and to significantly end the problem of internal displacement. We have closed within one year more than ninety percent of the IDP camps across Iraq, and we supported the displaced in the voluntary return to their areas.
We have sworn to an Iraq in which all Iraqis are equal in rights and duties, and we will not allow Iraqis to be categorized on the basis of their religion, sect, or identity, and we have fulfilled the oath and we will complete what we started regardless of the challenges.
We sponsored the Sinjar Agreement, which strengthened the federal government's responsibility for our Yazidi people in Sinjar, on the administrative and security levels, in a manner that allowed the return of our displaced people in Sinjar to their city, and we also strengthened the positive understanding between the federal government and the Kurdistan Regional Government in preparation for solving the outstanding problems under the shadow of one nation and one destiny.
Dears
When this government was formed a year ago from today .. Iraq was going through one of the most dangerous economic challenges, and the government found itself facing the reality of lack of resources, emptying the treasury and complete dependence on oil.
We launched a reform project, the White Paper, and presented the draft budget for 2021, with ambitious plans to diversify investment and activate stalled projects.
My beloved ones in all of Iraq, and wherever the Iraqi flag is raised
When we talk about a fundamental Iraqi role at the regional and international level to calm crises and bottlenecks and establish cooperation as an alternative to conflict, we proceed from our belief in the weight of Iraq and its historical role.
On this basis, we set a new path for foreign policy in which Iraq is an initiative ... We said a year ago in a loud voice that Iraq is first ... and everyone understood that Iraq refuses to be an arena for disputes. We said that the Iraqi regional chair cannot be dwarfed, and no one will sit in it Except for Iraq, and that Iraq will only wear what suits its people and its historical size, and that the name of Iraq is much greater than being a back garden for anyone or a playground for anyone’s adventures, but a factor of peace and stability for the region and the world.
Baghdad worked with history and dignity, on behalf of the Iraqi people, during this year to search for points of convergence and balance in the region to establish a reality in which regional integration and cooperation replace the conflict.
We are proud of the great development of our relationship with Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the Emirates and all the Arab Gulf states, Iran, Turkey, Lebanon, Syria and all countries in the region that love peace.
The success of the visit of His Holiness Pope Francis to Iraq in March 2021 was also a reflection of this policy.
We are also proud of our position today within the international community and our distinguished relationship with the countries of Europe and the United States of America, and we have preserved the historic and decisive position of Iraq in support of the Palestinian cause.
In this context
We affirm Iraq's position by rejecting and condemning the cowardly Israeli attacks on our defenseless Palestinian people in Jerusalem and Gaza, this people who have suffered the most cruel injustices witnessed in modern history, and continue to give the whole world lessons of steadfastness and determination, and steadfastness on legitimate demands. The rights of the Palestinian people, which are guaranteed by the humanitarian, moral and international conventions, live in the conscience of every Iraqi and cannot be forfeited, especially the right of Jerusalem, the historic capital of the State of Palestine.
The policy of openness and moderation with all countries of the world that the government pursued was reflected in the reopening of the Arar border crossing with Saudi Arabia, which has been closed for decades, and the willingness of Saudi, Emirati and Gulf companies to invest in various sectors in Iraq.
Negotiations with Iran to build a railway line between Basrah and Shalamjah have reached their final stages, and we have signed fifteen agreements and memoranda of understanding with Jordan and Egypt on energy and transport lines, as well as the signing of many agreements with Turkey on security, economic and investment issues, and the signing of a number of agreements and memoranda of understanding with France, Germany and Britain to rehabilitate and build new roads, airports and railway lines. As well as activating the understandings in the Chinese agreement to apply them on the ground through a series of infrastructure projects, and the signing of contracts with major American companies to invest in Iraq.
In the file of the strategic dialogue with the United States, we have proven that dialogue, frankness and direct methods are more beneficial than stubbornness, obstinacy and chaos.
During three sessions of the dialogue, we achieved advanced steps for the exit of the remainder of the combat forces of the international coalition, consecration of cooperation in all fields, including training and rehabilitation, and prepared upcoming rounds between the military committees to set the time and technical frameworks to achieve this.
My family and loved ones
A year ago from today, in my letter of assignment to form a government, I told you
"We have to work together to restore Iraq from crises, conflicts and futile wars, and we have to prove before history that we are fit for Iraq, by actions, not words."
A year later I tell you
It was a great tribulation
Together, we succeeded in overcoming its dangers, and we must continue to put Iraq on the right path.
Countries are strengthened by the solidarity of their people, their national forces and their elites .. I call on you to evoke the spirit of Iraq and solidarity together to protect our country and give our people the hope they deserve for a stable, prosperous and united Iraq.
the people of Iraq
You are the pearl of time and the title of hope
You are the memory of glory, the meaning of dignity and high values.
Peace be upon you, a day of patience, a day you rose up, and a day you upheld your right to a future befitting you
Peace be upon the rational authority that preserved Iraq, led by His Eminence Ali al-Sistani
Peace be upon the great Iraqi woman, on every mother, wife, daughter and sweetheart
Peace be upon the men of Iraq, their youth and elders as they seize the future
Peace be upon every girl and every child. We are inspired by their smiles the values of life
Peace be upon Iraq
Mercy and eternity for the martyrs of Iraq
Long live Iraq
Peace, mercy and blessings of God
