Al-Sudani delivers a message following the conclusion of the electoral celebration
News
Once again, our noble Iraqi people — in all their fraternal diversity and in every corner of our beloved homeland — have achieved a remarkable step forward, advancing toward greater stability, success, and the consolidation of a democratic system that truly reflects their free constitutional will and their aspiration to continue building and strengthening the institutions of the state. With the successful organization and implementation of the sixth parliamentary elections, through their legal and executive mechanisms and in accordance with our permanent Iraqi Constitution, the government has fulfilled one of its most significant commitments outlined in its executive program. It has also upheld the constitutional timelines and necessary obligations to ensure the peaceful transfer of power, reaffirming that the authority to form the government rests with the free choices of the Iraqi people. On this occasion, I extend my deepest appreciation, gratitude, and respect to every patriotic Iraqi citizen who participated and expressed his or her confidence in the nation’s path by casting a vote at the ballot box—believing in the challenging road of democracy, for which Iraqis have made immense sacrifices beyond measure. My thanks also go to the legislative and judicial authorities, to our heroic armed forces in all their branches and formations, to the Independent High Electoral Commission, to the national political forces, to all popular movements, social leaders, civil society organizations, media outlets and journalists, and representatives of international organizations—for their professional dedication, participation, support, and assistance, which played a decisive role in ensuring the success of the voting process. May God protect Iraq and its people. Mercy and eternal honor to all the martyrs of Iraq who gave their lives for democracy, freedom, and the building of our state.

Here is a clear and accurate English translation in a news-style tone: The residents of Hawi Al-Kanisah in western Mosul are still prohibited from building, despite their case having been settled by an official decision. Residents of the area have called on officials to visit this forgotten spot on Mosul’s land and witness their suffering firsthand. While residents of the area, located on the western bank, confirmed that they possess nothing more than their daily sustenance, the municipality reassured those banned from building through a statement. Finally, will the appeals of the residents of Hawi Al-Kanisah find attentive ears, or will the poetic verse apply to them: “You have made yourself heard, had you called upon the living — but there is no life in those you call”?
