Prime Minister Ali Falih Al-Zaidi received a group of tribal sheikhs and dignitaries today on the occasion of Eid al-Adha, stressing the government’s continued commitment to implementing the project of restricting weapons to the state and enhancing security and economic stability in the country.

 

The Prime Minister said that the government “is proceeding with the project called for by the Supreme Religious Authority, which stipulates that weapons be restricted to the state,” stressing that “the state must be the only entity that has a monopoly on weapons, and that the possession of force must be limited to state institutions, and this is a decision, not an option.”

 

He stressed the importance of preventing the spread of weapons and their use in random shooting or tribal conflicts, calling on Iraqi tribes to play a greater role in supporting security and stability and preventing any violations that threaten the country’s security.

 

On the political and economic front, the Prime Minister explained that Iraq continues to strengthen its relations and cooperation with the international community, noting that the government is working on “drawing a new economic identity for Iraq and moving away from the socialist mentality by attracting global companies to invest.”

 

He added that the government will not allow any cases of extortion or obstruction of the work of foreign companies inside Iraq, stressing the provision of a stable investment environment that supports economic development and job opportunities.

He also stressed the importance of balance in political and social discourse and promoting coexistence among all components of the Iraqi people, in order to ensure the protection of citizens’ rights and consolidate national stability.

So far, it looks like this new PM is towing  the line of getting rid of weapons possession by people who are not good for Iraq.  Let’s see how that goes and if his intentions are sincere.
