Pitcher Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – The Head of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) says the security situation in the country remains volatile and will continue to pose a severe threat to the lives of civilians. On Wednesday, the United Nations (UN) Security Council held a special session on Iraq in which the international body’s envoy to the embattled nation spoke of the security situation and ongoing humanitarian crisis, recent protests, the May 12 national elections, and the formation of a new government. Briefing the 15-member Security Council, UNAMI Head Jan Kubis revealed that “the security and protection environment” in Iraq remains “volatile, posing serious protection risks to Iraqi civilians.” “Abductions, disappearances, detention, increased risks of sexual- and gender-based violence, and violations of child rights continue” in Iraq, Kubis added. Regarding the recent protests in southern and central parts of Iraq, including Baghdad, the UNAMI Head said protesters are criticizing national leaders and successive governments for ignoring social justice and people’s needs. Protesters have expressed “their deep and growing frustration with old political leaders and the political system based on sectarian quotas they deemed corrupt, dysfunctional and stagnant, and [have deplored] foreign interference in the internal matters of Iraq.” According to the UNAMI, demonstrations by young protesters demanding improved basic services, an end to shortages of electricity, more jobs, and no more pervasive corruption further complicates the situation in Iraq. The UNAMI Head urged Iraq’s political leaders “to listen to the voice of the people.” Commenting on the May 12 elections, Kubis said the low turnout, where 60 percent of eligible voters did not participate, “delivered a strong message of dissatisfaction with the current state of management of public affairs.” The Head of the UNAMI praised “the orderly, transparent, credible and well-organized conduct” of the manual recount of votes completed on Aug. 6, claiming the recount “has increased public confidence in the electoral process and the election results.” “I urge political leaders to…accelerate the process of formation of a patriotic, inclusive and non-sectarian government with a strong and empowered Prime Minister,” Kubis said. He explained that the new Prime Minister has to “prioritize political, economic and social reforms investments, [the] creation of jobs, reconciliation, justice, equality, and accountability, and good governance, including the fight against corruption.” Kubis also urged the next Prime Minister to place all armed factions “under the strict control of the state” and to act resolutely “against insubordinate militias and criminal gangs.” http://www.kurdistan24.net/en/news/72e1ef45-3a3a-48eb-ab61-e9d55f623f50 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitcher Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 UN mission chief urges Iraqi leaders to ‘listen to the voice of the people’ Briefing the Security Council, Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Iraq, Ján Kubiš, started by updating Members on the manual ballot recount completed on Monday, in response to “complaints and allegations of electoral fraud and mismanagement” following parliamentary elections on 12 May. Mr. Kubiš noted the monitoring and support role played by UNAMI, as well as the oversight and advice provided by the UN throughout the process. “I welcome the orderly, transparent, credible and well-organised conduct of the recount,” he noted, applauding “the dedication and professionalism of all recount staff,” which, he said, “increased public confidence in the electoral process.” As for the ongoing civil unrest that has broken out across Basra and various southern Governorates, and which resulted in the death of at least 18 persons with 519 injured in recent months, he commended the “major efforts to provide swift and tailored responses to legitimate popular demands, bringing a temporary relief to people living under strenuous conditions”. “These measures, however, remain insufficient to address the depth of people’s needs and concerns,” he added, urging “political leaders to listen to the voice of the people, seize the opportunity and accelerate the process of formation of a patriotic, inclusive and non-sectarian national government that will put all the rich resources of Iraq at the disposal, and for the benefit, of its people.” The Head of UNAMI insisted on the need to ensure that women in particular have access to “leadership positions in Iraq” so they are “not left behind in recovery and rebuilding efforts” and can “play key roles” in shaping the future of a country that “owes them a lot.” In his briefing, the Special Representative mentioned that the country’s security and human rights situation remains “volatile” with sporadic terrorist attacks against civilians and government entities, and kidnappings. “I note with concern that although the level of violence in Iraq has decreased since last year, armed conflict, terrorism and acts of violence continued to take a toll on civilians,” he said, adding that improvised explosive devices remain the number one cause of civilian casualties. He also mentioned as “unacceptable” the plight of over 3,100 Yazidis who remain in the hands of ISIL or Da’esh, including those simply missing since their region in northern Iraq was overrun by the terrorist group in August 2014. As the humanitarian and protection situation remains dire, the Special Representative went on to highlight the major reconstruction efforts undertaken across the country, especially in Mosul’s old city, with the support of various UN agencies. “I note with appreciation that one year after the liberation of Mosul, [UN] clearance teams have removed 43,700 explosive hazards in the city” from roads, bridges, schools, universities, hospitals, clinics, water treatment plants and municipal buildings, he told the Council. He also commended the efforts made on health care provision and access to education, noting however the “funding remains a critical issue”. According to the UN’s Financial Tracking Service, as of 8 August, a $202 million (36 per cent) funding gap remains based on requirements laid out in the 2018 Humanitarian Response Plan. Mr. Kubiš urged the Members of the Security Council to continue to support Iraq in its path to stability and prosperity. “In tandem with our collective humanitarian and stabilization efforts, recovery and development efforts are critical to Iraq and Member States are requested to continue supporting them”, he said. 7https://www.thebaghdadpost.com/en/Story/30451/UN-mission-chief-urges-Iraqi-leaders-to-listen-to-the-voice-of-the-people 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitcher Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 As a matter of fact it’s standard procedure by many political entities. Create a problem and then blame someone else. Turn that other person, party, nation, or religion into a vilian by media smear tactics, bougus laws, and regulations, and then proclaim yourself as the solution to the terrible problem. The problem you created. Just think about our infamous healthcare bill. That was a garbage piece of legislation created to fail. The goal, single payer healthcare. Paid by your government from taxes ripped off by them. Who is the real vilian, big business, big pharma, and our elected officials. Sorry for for the rant but politics burns me up.

Pitcher Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 UN Expects Iraqi Future Government to be Free from Sectarianism ERBIL - The Special Representative and Head of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Iraq, Ján Kubiš, has said that he is expecting the Iraqi future government to be free from sectarian partitioning, noting that its president also should be a strong one. The remarks were made during a UN Security Council meeting held for talks on Iraqi political process, including the formation of a new cabinet in Baghdad where Kubiš pointed out that due to high number of complains against the process, they issued a decree to manually recount part of the votes. He noted that the low number of Iraqis which participated in the election could be a message from the public to the government for their disagreement on the public services. The UN official said that the Iraqis delivered a message to say that they were ignored by most of the country's leaders. "I call on the political leaders to listen to the Iraqi people and rush to form a new national government free from sectarianism which can gather all," he said. http://www.basnews.com/index.php/en/news/iraq/457886 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
