Baghdad-INA
More than 100 years have passed since the 20th Revolution, and the voices of the songs are still playing on the strings of the nation, the melodies of values and courage, and their values are still simulating the descendants of that great revolution, a revolution that was not erased by the vicissitudes of history, but rather remained present in the conscience of the nation.
A century ago, the name of Shaalan and his comrades flirted with minds, and (Magwara), steadfast in the face of the rampage of tanks and the barrels of cannons, remained stuck in the memory of men and women, and the land of Al-Rumaitha still burns with flames every June that passes, as if calling the conscience and evoking in the hearts of Iraqis their national history that rejects the invaders in every province And an Iraqi city.
That revolution was not a fleeting moment that reflected the nation's anger at the occupation. Rather, it was the inevitability of the Iraqi destiny that has been languishing for centuries under the weight of repeated occupations, to reflect the human and spiritual interdependence between religious references that nourish rejection and authentic clans throughout the country that respond to the call and mobilize their forces indifferent to the difference in military standards, to line A revolution that exhausted the occupation and forced it to retreat and declare the desired Iraqi state.
And that revolution remained the engine of the nation’s voice over decades, to be manifested in the popular uprising of the descendants of Shaalan against the exterminated Saddamist Baathist regime, which tried in vain to obliterate that revolution and distort its historical path after it remained a headache shaking the pillars of his rule, and after the occupation of Mosul, Anbar and Salah al-Din by the terrorist gangs of ISIS. The threads of history were intertwined once again after the people of the homeland responded to the call of the reference, and the revolution of the twentieth mobilized its grandchildren, who responded to the cry of the homeland.
Today, on the (103rd) years anniversary of the great Iraqi revolution, the Iraqi News Agency (INA) recalls that epic that marked the historical path of the struggle of Iraqis against tyrants and sheds light on the vision of the contemporary generation of that revolution.
In this regard, Prime Minister Muhammad al-Shayaa al-Sudani said today, Friday, that the revolution of the twenties charted the path to freedom and the constitution, indicating that it was a living embodiment and a realistic expression of the Iraqis' pride in their freedom.
Al-Sudani said in a statement received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA): "With great pride, we remember today the 20th Revolution, which represents one of the most important revolutions in Iraq in the modern era.".
He added: "The revolution of the twentieth century was a living embodiment and a realistic expression of the Iraqis' pride in their freedom and sovereignty. It was achieved thanks to the steadfastness of our Iraqi people, who at that time inspired many Arab peoples to seek liberation from foreign domination.
And the Prime Minister continued: "Today, as we recall the (103rd) anniversary of the 20th Revolution, we draw inspiration from it all the great meanings that represented the story of a people without history at its highest stations and the highest status."
