National Identity Is The Guarantee Of The Strength Of The State

Baghdad/The Obelisk:  fit gesture

On the anniversary of Iraq’s victory over the dark invasion of ISIS, we proudly recall those heroisms that our armed forces of all kinds and formations waged to expel their most dangerous, most criminal and brutal enemy against all Iraqis.

After ISIS sought to build a bloody emirate far from the tolerant spirit of Islam by falsely claiming that it is the only legitimate representative of the people of the areas it occupied, relying on strong misleading media and great external financial support, attracting young people who are deceived or who have been oppressed by malicious accusations, so he mistakenly sought salvation and revenge by alliance With that class of perverted hardcore prospects.

In addition to the criminals who do not care about people's lives and whose only concern was to sabotage the democratic experiment and push people to internal fighting.

The control of ISIS and its invasion of the lands has causes and causes that cannot be obscured and silence about what must be delved into more and analyzed and a careful reading of the reality to address the security and political situation to prevent a recurrence of what happened in 2014.

If these reasons are not addressed, the presence of ISIS sleeper cells will certainly pose a permanent danger to people and home.

Returning to that period and recalling it does not mean personalizing the events or causes and interpreting them according to personal tastes or frameworks, but rather the aim is to draw lessons and lessons from that period.

The Iraqi citizen, who has lived in this multi-religious country, sects and nationalities for thousands of years, is not new to this diversity, and religions and sects did not pose a threat to him, but the people’s abandonment of the united national identity and the flourishing of sectarian discourse at the time. It resulted in loss of life and money.

Emphasizing that the national identity is the great collector and the only advocate for people and denying everything that may cause or help to keep people away from the national identity is the most reliable guarantor to prevent the return of ISIS.

Doing justice to the oppressed, not forgetting the families of those who sacrificed their lives, our innocent martyrs, and helping their families who need support, support and care.

And work to return all the kidnapped Iraqi women who were smuggled and sold as slaves in neighboring countries, or to know the fate of the disappeared, and to solve the situation of the displaced, immigrants and the affected who did not return to their areas of residence after their money and homes became in news, and they lived in tents for a long time, and they could not be left in the open throughout this period. No compensation or solution. And the reconstruction of liberated cities quickly.

It is a continuation of the victory over ISIS, the stabilization of Iraq and the prevention of the recurrence of painful events.    https://almasalah.com/ar/news/220233/الهوية-الوطنية-ضمان-قوة-الدولة
