A circulated letter issued by the office of Prime Minister Muhammad Shia al-Sudani, and addressed to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, showed “Iraq’s discomfort” with the United Nations mission’s reliance on the opinions of “other parties” to determine the extent of Iraq’s need for the mission’s continued work.
The message is according to circulating documents, the authenticity of which Al-Sumaria News could not confirm, but it is consistent with the content of Sudanese’s speech at the climate conference last February, in which he called for the end of the United Nations mission. The message indicates that the Iraqi government reminded the Secretary-General of the United Nations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ request last year to extend The mission’s work will continue until May 2024, but the mission formed a team to demonstrate the extent of Iraq’s need for the mission’s work to continue. The matter was not limited to consulting with the Iraqi government, but rather included other parties that had no role when the mission was established in Iraq in 2003, according to the message.
Al-Sudani stressed, according to the letter, that Iraq no longer needs the United Nations mission, calling for it to end its work at the end of next year 2025.
