Tishwash: As for a great Iraq, or two Iraqs?

Long and very difficult months have passed since the announcement of the results of the Iraqi parliament elections, and the people are eating from within because of the tragic situation in the deteriorating economy.. which came from the distorted and ugly tsarist political process, in the hands of ignorant politicians, whose only and big concern is how to acquire the largest amount of the Iraqi people's money Poor guy!!

It is… a very dirty political game, played by all those present in the current political process.. and I do not exclude anyone from them.. Everyone does not give up his seat, the people are in one valley and the government is in another.. Everyone drops his thief partner.. at night (angels) and what are they Also, and during the day (demons) and they are!!

There is no such thing as (blockage), but there is a dirty, tightly funded and externally funded scenario, in order to prolong the wretched political situation at all costs in lives, property and wealth!!

The concession is not acceptable, and the non-acceptance of power peacefully is far away. Iraq is now - and it seems - clearly at an upcoming historical crossroads, especially after the great powers intervened in the matter... in the hope of forming a (national salvation government) under international protection, which will either become Iraq... is big and great and returns to the embrace of its Arab, Islamic and global surroundings...

As for, God forbid, it will be (Iraqitan) in the region, and the Middle East region will end...forever...and peace over peace...

Tishwash: Al-Kazemi: We must implement food security and work with full force for the last day in the life of the government

The most important statement of the Prime Minister, Mustafa Al-Kazemi, during the cabinet session held today, Tuesday

This government came in exceptional circumstances, and it worked and is still working in exceptional circumstances, and despite all these challenges, it succeeded in overcoming many difficulties... The challenges were not easy, and the government's slogan from the first day was .that it is a government of word and deed

We focused on the practical aspect of citizens' needs, we succeeded in some of them, while others need more time to address them

A while ago, we laid the foundation stone for a project to build 1,000 schools in all governorates of Iraq, which is the first meal within the Iraqi-Chinese framework agreement

This agreement was obtained with great confusion by some parties that tried to promote the government's lack of seriousness in implementing the agreement or did not want to implement .it

The government is the one who implemented the agreement, and we started with the project of 1,000 schools out of a total of 8,000 schools across all governorates, in the form of stages

Unfortunately, we sometimes hear campaigns in some media and social media platforms, the aim of which is to break the resolve of the government’s work, and our response is silence, we do not want to enter into political rivalries for the sake of Iraq and the Iraqis, and we focus on .work to move towards the future

The House of Representatives voted on the law on emergency support for food security, and we must work to implement it with full force in order to serve the people, and I would like to remind that the law is not a budget, but rather came because we are going through an exceptional circumstance, and we, as a caretaker government, have no right to enact laws, so we resorted to the Food Security Law Which requires us to work very hard to implement it for the .benefit of the Iraqis

We need all political parties to cooperate with us to implement the Food Security Law, with our need for a supervisory role as well, which must take place within the public interest, and not .for pressure or personal purposes, or within agendas to weaken the government

The government is working at the end of its session, and we expect the political parties to work with full force to form a government that represents the aspirations of the Iraqi people, so .that it can present a vision to address these challenges

This government will remain in work until the last moment until its tasks are handed over to the next government, and for this I remind the political elites of the importance of expediting the formation of a government that does its duty, and at the same time we will work for the last .moment to follow up on all the details

We have commitments that we must implement and continue with, and despite the many internal challenges, we have succeeded in the policy of external balance, and this was a major goal from the first moment in working to restore our relations with neighboring countries and .friendly countries and with our brothers

Praise be to God, we put Iraq's interest in the first place, and this balance stems from the interest of Iraq, the Iraqi people, and we will continue with this policy, and we will not go to any .axis at the expense of another axis

We put an equal distance with everyone in order to bring to Iraq investments and support, in order to compensate for the failures, frustrations and absurd wars that have left their .repercussions on the Iraqi people

What is required is to rebuild our relations on the basis of the Iraqi interest and on the basis of good faith with all partners. As for the policy of fear, isolation and mistrust with others, it is .not in our policy

We think well of everyone so that we can reconcile with ourselves and others, and liberate us from the absurd policies that took Iraq in the past to semi-isolationist or escalatory policies with .neighboring countries, and this will be part of the past

About my recent visit to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Islamic Republic of Iran, the visit to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was very good, in which we discussed common issues, Saudi investments in Iraq and future prospects, and we talked about the electrical connection and many projects that benefit Iraqis, and the importance of the region being stable and calm and .that Iraq leads His role in humidifying the atmosphere for the interest of Iraq and the region

We talked about global challenges due to the war in Ukraine and its repercussions on food security, and how to cooperate in order to provide the needs of our peoples to provide this .security

During our visit to the Islamic Republic of Iran, we spoke about the same points, and about joint files, as well as working on the issue of energy and water The Brotherhood in Iran has expressed its willingness to send the Minister of Energy to .Baghdad to talk about the issue of water and electric energy and solve all problems

We need to work hard to overcome the challenges that the region is going through and that affected everyone and Iraq in the first place, and in particular the issue of climate change, and for this I ask the competent ministers to pay attention to this aspect regarding water and climatic .changes that affect agriculture and the lives of citizens

We must remember that these relations and this balance prove to the world and to the Iraqis that Iraq has a great depth in history, and its role and position are very important in helping to .build relations that serve the interest of our people

Iraq works and seeks to be part of the region and its stability, and that we cooperate with all countries in order to avoid the repercussions of the war in Ukraine in terms of food and energy .security

Our work will continue until the last moment of the life of this government, until the formation of a new government, we must work day and night to overcome all obstacles and .challenges
