Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani affirmed that the heroism of Martyr Harith Al-Sudani is not just a story of sacrifice but a national legacy that must be documented and shared with the world, representing a symbol of pride for all Iraqis.

A statement from the Prime Minister’s media office, received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), stated that PM Al-Sudani hosted, on Sunday evening, the family of the heroic martyr Harith Abd Ali Al-Sudani, who bravely infiltrated the ranks of the ISIS terrorist organization.

The meeting also included members of the team behind the TV series Al-Naqeeb (The Captain), which portrays his story, including the lead actor, writer, director, and members of the Television Drama Support Grant Committee.

The Prime Minister emphasized that Iraq’s history is filled with heroic sacrifices that must be passed down to future generations. He stated that the state has a duty to highlight the sacrifices of Iraqis, whether in their fight against dictatorship before 2003 or in their battle against terrorism afterward.

He stressed that the series Al-Naqeeb should be the beginning of a broader effort to document the heroism of Iraq’s security forces, ensuring these sacrifices remain an integral part of the nation’s memory.

Al-Sudani praised the professional efforts of the Drama Support Committee and the team behind Al-Naqeeb series in bringing this heroic story to life. He reaffirmed the government's commitment to honoring the sacrifices of Iraqis from all backgrounds through state-building, strengthening security, and advancing national development across the country.
