On the formation of the government, Blackshart said, “Many Iraqis are increasingly asking whether the national interest is really the “overriding concern” of the ongoing negotiations – rather than obtaining resources and power or how to share the cake of political appointments and ministries this time?
The priority should be to urgently agree on a program of work that promptly and meaningfully addresses Iraq’s long list of outstanding internal issues, and it is time to re-highlight who the people of Iraq deserve.”
On the impact of the political impasse in the formation of the government, Blackshart explained, “Hindering the change and reforms that the country badly needs, and the priority should be to urgently agree on a program of work that immediately and meaningfully addresses Iraq’s long list of outstanding internal issues. It is time to re-light the light on Who deserves it: the people of Iraq
Concerning the relations between Baghdad and Erbil, Plasschaert said, “It has become increasingly important to hold a dialogue of an institutional nature, and not controlling matters is a risky business that may lead to long-term consequences that undermine Iraq’s stability in the short and long term.”
She called on all concerned parties to “focus on the really important matters, and to unite instead of competing,” adding that “all efforts should be focused on resolving the outstanding issues, not by seizing power, but by working in a spirit of partnership and cooperation.”
She pointed out, “Environmental challenges represent an immediate threat that is often considered less urgent, but in the end it is one of the biggest global challenges that we face collectively, warning that” Iraqis acutely exposed to the effects of water scarcity due to climate change and the lack of water flow from its rivers. It is a threat multiplier, with increased risks of poverty, displacement, instability and conflict. Shared ownership of this critical file across the political spectrum will be a necessary issue.
On the economy, Blackshart emphasized, “Time is running out for Iraq, and as an Iraqi official told me some time ago, even if we start implementing the most urgent reforms the day before yesterday, it will take efforts beyond human capabilities to adequately address the financial, economic and environmental challenges today.”
Regarding the camps in northeastern Syria, Plasschaert declared, “They are like time bombs that have implications for the region and beyond, and keeping people indefinitely under restrictive and poor conditions in those camps ultimately leads to more protection and security risks than returning them in a disciplined manner.” .
We should not wait for young children to come of age in a camp like Al-Hol. These kids who live in harsh conditions never wanted to be part of this mess. However, they found themselves stripped of their rights. These children find themselves vulnerable to forced recruitment and violent extremism.”
“The fact that some of the fighters and their associated family members managed to escape suggests that it would be better to control the situation and manage returns, rather than risk losing track of them slipping – undetected – into any country,” she said.
Plasschaert concluded, briefing her on the file of missing Kuwaitis, third-country nationals, and missing Kuwaiti property, including the National Archives, that “the Iraqi government must use the experience gained so far and thus move towards the complete completion of this important humanitarian file.”
