“Despite the grief and shock of the people, but they are also optimistic, they are removing their homes with their hands, volunteering and helping each other, but they need our help,” said Julie, according to a UN statement.
“As an international community, we often tend to assume that when the fighting is over, the work is done, but the conditions I have observed here in western Mosul are terrible, the displacement is still happening, the camps near the city are still full. The empowerment of people to return and the stability of the city is essential for the stability of Iraq and the region in the future. “

He noted that “the electoral process has been marred by many appeals, problems and accusations. Politicians have been divided between supporters of the electoral process and their results, and a skeptic is asking for a serious pause and comprehensive review until some people demand the cancellation of the elections.”

“The House of Representatives met with an extraordinary session open to some of its members (most of them who did not win the elections),” said Ammar al-Hakim. He also made a third amendment to the electoral law. The crisis contributed to the complexity. ”

“There are those who try to hang democracy with a rope of forgery at times, and political fires and electricity demand at other times !!”

“To get out of the current crisis, I call on the Federal Court to consider quickly the sound legal challenges presented to it on the third amendment to the electoral law and to issue its verdict in order to restore things to their normal legal contexts,” said Mr. Hakim.

He added, “so that the judiciary can audit more than {1800} appeal submitted to them and to order the verification and matching of not less than 10% of the votes within the funds contested across the country and if it is proved that the difference between the declared results and the paper reconciliation exceeds 25% And the right to choose is no less important than the honor of defending the land and the supply and confronting the enemies. ”

“Everyone is hearing and watching daily the suffering and suffering of our people in electricity, water, medicine, youth unemployment, lack of job opportunities and a decent life. They also know the excesses of others towards the sovereignty, security and stability of Iraq,” he said.

“I do not want to be pessimistic in front of my people and my people, but I have a heart and a heartache in what is going on in the country from the atrophy and political weakness towards the rational solution and wisdom required in most of our domestic and international issues,” he said.

“We still believe that the national majority represents a realistic and acceptable solution to some of the problems of the political system and it is wrong to return to the old equation and expect to get better results.” The sectarian and nationalist alignments can not produce a national government that meets the aspirations of our people. .

“We also have to choose a ministerial cabin of specialized technocrats (independent or political) capable of meeting the needs of citizens and pushing the country forward and progressing,” he said.
