    Baghdad-INA

    The Iraqi News Agency (INA) publishes the full text of Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi's speech on the latest developments.
    In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate,

     our great Iraqi people...
     My sisters, brothers and sons...My good family...
    Peace, mercy and blessings be upon you...


     I address you in this very sensitive circumstance, with all sincerity and love, and in this holy and sacred month, we are a people known for believing in lofty values and principles. Honorable ones, we pardon and forgive for the sake of brotherhood and equality, and for the lofty humanitarian and national goal.
     This patient and sacrificial people, who have never been stingy for the sake of Iraq, from its northernmost to it's southernmost, and from its east to its west, deserves from us a response befitting the scale of these sacrifices.


     Our people yearn for life, and they do not like strife, blood, strife, revenge and animosity, and they do not like malice and hatred.
    Accordingly, the political blocs must sit down, negotiate and understand for the sake of Iraq and the Iraqis, and the language of treason and exclusion must be avoided, and a high and inclusive patriotic spirit must be displayed. A thousand days of quiet dialogue is better than a moment in which a drop of Iraqi blood is shed.
    I call on everyone to be calm, patient and rational, and not to be drawn into confrontation, and I call on citizens not to clash with the security forces and to respect state institutions.
    We must all cooperate to stop those who accelerate this sedition, and everyone must know very well that the fire of sedition will burn everyone 
    The circumstance is very difficult, and this is a bitter reality with great regret, and we must cooperate and unite all, so as not to push ourselves into the abyssWe have to control our minds, consciences and consciences, and rally around Iraq and the Iraqis, not around narrow interests .


    Everyone bears the responsibility... the parties, the political class, the social forces and other influencers... We have to say it, yes, everyone, and everyone must act according to the rules of wisdom and insight for the sake of Iraq, so that we do not lose again .
    Iraq is a trust, so we do not lose this trust ... 

    This is a word I say honestly, and I hear what is said in secret and in public, and we are honest, but we hope that others will be honest this time for the sake of Iraq and the Iraqis ...
    We will bear the responsibility, and we are ready to do anything for Iraq, without hesitation.. The dilemma is political, and its solution is political, and the solution is possible through sincere and constructive dialogue, and making concessions for the sake of Iraq and the Iraqis 
    There are enough wise men and men in Iraq, but beware of the continuation of political tension, lest the mines that we have sought for the past two years to quietly dismantle ...
