On Friday, Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi announced the arrest of a person working in a state institution who confessed to killing protesters and indicated that he intends to call for a third round of national dialogue to resolve the problems of the ‘Iraq.
Al-Kadhimi said in statements reported by the official Iraqi news agency that the authorities arrested last week “an important person belonging to one of the state institutions, who confessed to killing demonstrators and some personalities”.
Al-Kazemi called on “state, legislative, judicial and security institutions to cooperate to put an end to the escaped weapon”, noting that “everyone knows who owns the escaped weapon and we have taken steps to deal with it”.
Al-Kazemi added that his government is trying to “calmly deal with the loosening of weapons, without affecting people’s lives and their reality”.
In another context, Al-Kazemi, who is currently in New York to attend the meetings of the United Nations General Assembly, said: “I will ask for a third round of national dialogue to solve our problems and we have no other way than the dialogue”. stressing: “We have the opportunity to build Iraq and everyone must take responsibility for that”.
The Iraqi prime minister urged political forces to “assume their historical responsibilities towards Iraq and take advantage of opportunities for national dialogue”.
He stressed that “the stability of the region has positive repercussions on the situation in Iraq”, underlining that “Iraq has managed to converge opinions between Iran and Saudi Arabia and other countries that have succeeded in re-establishing mutual relations later on”.
For months, Iraq experiences a suffocating political crisis that has left the country without a new government, prime minister or president.
