[size=52]Account inventory with an official and expert... A Kalashnikov worth a million dinars! How many rifles will the government buy from the Iraqis for 15 billion?[/size]

[size=45]An official in the Ministry of Interior reviewed the mechanism for purchasing weapons from citizens in accordance with the government’s recent decision, and revealed the prices of light and medium weapons, and the locations of weapons registration before handing them over to the concerned authorities, but the funds allocated to each governorate will not collect more than 15,000 Kalashnikov parts from across the country.[/size]
[size=45]Last month, the Interior Ministry announced a government plan that will be implemented this year to remove weapons from the street by purchasing them from citizens.[/size]
[size=45]The ministry says that this step is part of the program of the Sudanese government of Muhammad Shiaa to confine weapons to the state.[/size]
[size=45]The security official told the 964 network that the ministry is trying to withdraw 10 million weapons from the street.[/size]
[size=45]But the official who said that the Interior Ministry would buy a Kalashnikov weapon, for example, for one million dinars, stated that it is difficult to collect “a quarter” of the weapons spread in the country.[/size]
[size=45]According to the prices set by the ministry, the plan will be able to collect only about a thousand Kalashnikovs from each governorate for which it had previously allocated one billion dinars.[/size]
[size=45]This means that 15 billion dinars will be sufficient to purchase 15,000 Kalashnikov units from all governorates except the Kurdistan region.[/size]
[size=45]A security expert believes that this step is insufficient due to the proliferation of weapons in Iraq, even though it is an unprecedented plan since 2003, while he warned of the need to monitor arms sales offices and reconsider the country’s weapons law, which was enacted a few years ago.[/size]
[size=45]An official in the Ministry of Interior, to the 964 network:[/size]
[size=45]The Ministry operates in 697 centers throughout the governorates to facilitate the process of purchasing weapons from citizens.[/size]
[size=45]The first step is to officially register weapons, as these centers will distribute forms to citizens to register their weapons at the nearest police station within 7 days from the date of submitting the form.[/size]
[size=45]In addition to the police stations, the Ministry gave another option through the “Ur Gate” governmental platform, in implementation of Article 9 of the government program, which stipulates that weapons be restricted to the hands of the state.[/size]
[size=45]Estimates indicate that there are more than 10 million weapons in possession of citizens in all governorates (except the Kurdistan region).[/size]

[size=45]The types of weapons available to citizens are diverse, including medium and light weapons, the most prominent of which are (Kalashnikov, PKC, RPG, and RPG shells).[/size]
[size=45]The government will buy the pistol for 750,000 dinars, at least, and the Kalashnikov for a million dinars and upwards.[/size]
[size=45]Most weapons are used in tribal conflicts, especially in the southern governorates.[/size]
[size=45]This step will limit the indiscriminate spread of weapons, and the second step will be to grant weapons-carrying IDs to those who meet the conditions in a proper and organized manner.[/size]
[size=45]Fadel Abu Ragheef, security expert for the 964 Network:[/size]
[size=45]The Ministry of Interior's step to withdraw weapons from citizens through purchase is insufficient because there is a large inflation in people's stocks, but it is almost the first government attempt since 2003.[/size]
[size=45]The proliferation of weapons came against the backdrop of turning a blind eye to the permissions provided by the Interior Ministry during the era of previous governments.[/size]
[size=45]The issue of carrying and possessing weapons for citizens with the approval of the Ministry of Interior is an incorrect step and constitutes an additional danger to societal peace in Iraq.[/size]
[size=45]Pregnancy and possession is an organized militarization of Iraqi society, a step taken for the first time in Iraq in decades.[/size]
[size=45]Arms sales offices are also one of the reasons that helped spread weapons among citizens.[/size]
[size=45]Estimates indicate that there are 10 million Kalashnikov-type weapons in possession of citizens after 2003, in addition to other types of weapons.[/size]
[size=45]Ali Al-Bayati, former member of the Human Rights Commission of the 964 Network:[/size]
[size=45]There is a significant increase in the number of weapons outside the control of the law, as well as the spread of armed groups.[/size]
[size=45]The spread of these weapons undermines law enforcement in all aspects of the state.[/size]
[size=45]Taking weapons away from citizens is beyond the capabilities of the Ministry of Interior because this issue requires political consensus.[/size]
[size=45]Dialogues are needed with all countries that have influence in Iraq in order to complete the process of withdrawing weapons from citizens.[/size]
[size=45]Iraq's political future is in real danger as a result of the spread of these quantities of weapons among citizens.[/size]
[size=45]Ali Al-Tamimi, legal expert for the 964 Network:[/size]
[size=45]Some governments, after being exhausted by conflicts, wars, or civil wars, resort to making decisions of this type (buying weapons) to save people and remove the effects of violence.[/size]
[size=45]The problem in Iraq is also legal, as the Iraqi Weapons Law 51 of 2017 permitted the sale of weapons in stores and did not tighten the penalty for possession, so we need to amend this law.[/size]
[size=45]The government has no solution except to buy weapons from citizens to alleviate the crisis.[/size]
