Glorified Iraqi people:
Today is the memory of December 10, 2017, the memory of the great victory over ISIS and the liberation of mankind and the land. On this occasion, I greet your victory that astonished the world, your will has triumphed over the forces of darkness and barbarism.
As I greet the determination of this people and the sacrifices of its heroic fighters, I affirm on this occasion that:
1-The liberation battles we waged against terrorism were existential battles of the state, we won the battle to restore the state and the unity of the people from the mouth of terrorism and dispossession, and we aborted the option of the fall of Iraq.
2-The liberation battles were not only gun battles, but in depth they were wars of effective management of the state with its economies, intelligence, the balances of its internal, regional and international policies, and we have demonstrated the ability of the Iraqi administration and will to win comprehensive and complex wars.
3-The victory over ISIS has dropped the option of terror and brutality from preying on the region and the world, and the region and the world must raise the hat for Iraq, its people and its fighters, and pay the debt to it.
4-The victory over terrorism was Iraqi, as it should not be granted to any foreigner. We supported the world, but we affirmed and affirm that the blood and victory were Iraqi with distinction, and that the world's support for us was to defend their countries and their interests from the hands of terrorism, and the aid was paid and not free.
5-With our victory over terrorism, we emerged out with a unified state, a cohesive people, a better economy, and a recovering sovereignty. We gained the world's confidence in us as a state and a political administration that is capable of winning major bets despite the enormous difficulties and obstacles.
Dear people: The accomplishments that were achieved yesterday with your will and sacrifices must not retreat. We have dropped the options of terrorism, sectarianism, fragmentation and chaos, and today we must apply the same procedure of administration, will and sovereignty in dealing with the state and its files to ensure the accumulation of achievements and the integrity of the state. We must not allow terrorism to be resettled again, just as we must stand together for reconstruction, the return of the displaced, the reconstruction of cities, the advancement of coexistence, and the achievement of justice.
We must unite and stand against the reproduction of sectarianism, the chaos of arms, the breakdown of groups and the dependence of the will on the foreigner.
Winning the state’s bet, its unity, sovereignty, and the well-being of its citizens depends on national unity, effective governance and the efficient administration of the state. I hope that the upcoming elections will witness the birth of an effective governance equation capable of saving the country from its crises. I stress here the necessity of a free and fair electoral process that expresses the will of the Iraqis and their aspiration for reform, change, and the realization of the people's aspirations.
Greetings to the unbreakable Iraq... Greetings to its unbreakable people.
