In these days of immortal history, Imam Hussein Bin Ali stood by them and stood in the face of injustice and tyranny. He said the word of truth and proved it by himself until he testified with a constellation of his family and companions, may Allah be pleased with them.
By this great anniversary, I salute the millions of our people who are performing their rituals in various provinces, safe from the protection of the spare parts of our security forces who protect citizens and fight terrorism simultaneously.
The memory of Ashura falls on us this year, and our people are reaping the fruits of their patience, precious sacrifices and legendary defense of the homeland, land and sanctities and adherence to the lofty principles that they defended and cited in their path. And the courage to complete it with the help of the Almighty Almighty God, and the courage of our armed forces of all kinds and formations, and the sacrifices of the martyrs and the wounded wounded.
Our Iraqi people have been inspired by the revolution of Imam Hussein and the timeless reality of the child, the meaning of courage, sacrifice, redemption and altruism in defending its land and holy places. Our people have won in unity and together with all its sons. Our fighters have achieved their victorious victories under the banner of one Iraq with their Arabs and Kurds and all the components of our other people. Is a source of strength for all Iraqis in their religious, national and sectarian diversity.
We reaffirm our pride in our Kurdish brothers and our keenness on their interests, security and stability. We will seek to preserve unity and brotherhood so that we can pass together the stage of victory over terrorism. To the stage of building our great country and preserving its security and sovereignty.
We ask God Almighty to grant the martyrs of Iraq His mercy and the wounded for speedy recovery and to grant our people security and safety.
Peace be upon Hussein and the family of Hussein and the owners of Hussein,
and thank Allah the god of everything .
Peace, mercy and blessings of God .

The Independent: Barzani sought to use the referendum to declare himself a leader of Kurdish identity and victory over his rivals

2017/9/30 10:46

[Where - Continue]

"The Kurdish referendum is a political mistake," said Patrick Coburn, the Middle East editor for The Independent. Cobern says the referendum by Kurds in northern Iraq that led to the election of independents prompted the Iraqi authorities to block international flights to Erbil airport, the provincial capital.

Copern said the actions taken by Iraq, Turkey and Iran in response to the referendum would lead to the isolation of the Kurds in a strong and effective way they have not known since the overthrow of Saddam Hussein in 2003.

"The isolation currently under way covers all areas, geographically, economically or even politically, since the countries openly supporting the Kurds, such as the United States, Germany, France and Britain, were all refusing to hold the referendum at this time," he said.

"The immediate neighboring countries of the Kurds, such as Iran, Iraq and Turkey are working on their siege and pressure on them to force them to return to the previous situation."

"The decision of the referendum was hasty for reasons related to Massoud Barzani, head of the region, who sought to use the referendum to win over rivals in the region and declare himself a leader of the Kurdish national identity.
