Sudani: End of Coalition and UNAMI Missions Symbolizes Iraq’s Sovereignty Consolidation
Iraq’s Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ Al Sudani declared at the Iraqi Martyrs’ Day ceremony that the conclusion of the international coalition’s mission against ISIS and the end of UNAMI’s activities signify the consolidation of Iraq’s sovereignty and the independence of its political decision-making.
Speaking at the official event, Sudani stated that over the past three years, Iraq has witnessed developments that have brought important achievements for the country, its people, and national forces. He described these changes as the result of a continuous process in political and security fields.
According to Sudani, the end of the international coalition’s mission and UNAMI’s operations is among the most prominent of these accomplishments, demonstrating that Iraq has been able to reinforce its sovereignty and make independent political decisions.
The Prime Minister referenced assessments from the United Nations and the international community, noting that these institutions have recognized Iraq’s political and security successes. He said that Baghdad has now established balanced relations with its regional and international environment and is acknowledged as a fully sovereign country with capable armed forces.
Sudani also mentioned that following these developments, Iraqi citizens contributed to strengthening the democratic process by participating in elections—a participation that, according to him, reflects the people’s support for the government’s performance and its priorities.
He described the parliamentary election participation as effective and a milestone for consolidating the country’s democratic process. In conclusion, the Prime Minister called on national forces to address their legal obligations through independent national decisions, emphasizing that social hope has returned and that the path to development continues with a welcoming approach to constructive cooperation with friendly and brotherly countries.
