On Saturday, President Nizar Amidi praised the initiative of some Iraqi factions to hand over their weapons to the state and to cooperate in ensuring that this matter is exclusively in the hands of the relevant authorities, stressing the need to consolidate security and stability in the country.
Amidi said in a speech during the “Delphi” economic forum in Sulaimaniyah that efforts are continuing to reach an understanding on disarmament in a way that enhances the security and stability of the country and contributes to reconstruction and development, stressing that
Stability is no longer just a local goal, but has become a prerequisite for local, regional and global development.
He added that practical and productive dialogues are necessary to address challenges and reduce escalating risks, noting that the challenges facing Iraq should not hinder the aspiration to develop the well-being of the people and enhance opportunities for prosperity.
The Iraqi president explained that among the most prominent challenges are developing and diversifying sources of income, ending the rentier system, stimulating investment, and establishing a safe and attractive environment for investors. He pointed out that combating corruption and eradicating its strongholds courageously and without hesitation represents a fundamental priority in the path of reform and development, calling on
To the combined efforts of the executive, legislative and judicial authorities to confront the challenges and achieve the goals of development and stability.
This comes in conjunction with the announcement by the head of the Security Media Cell, Lieutenant General Saad Maan, on Thursday, of the launch of the first practical steps to integrate armed factions into the official security system, through the handover of the headquarters and weapons of the “Saraya al-Salam” in the city of Samarra, in response to the initiative launched by the leader of the Shiite National Movement, Muqtada al-Sadr.
