Baghdad - Asharq Al-Awsat
For the second time within a week, Iraqi President Barham Salih renewed the call for a new political pact among Iraqis, after the failure of the post-2003 government system.
“Iraq has important challenges ahead, mainly the holding of early and fair elections…” Salih said.
His remarks came during his participation in a ceremony on Tuesday to commemorate the bombing of the Baghdad International Airport in Jan. 2020.
