 Iraqi Foreign Minister: We must stay away from the wars taking place in the region

Shafaq News/ Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Fuad Hussein, confirmed during a ministerial meeting in Washington that Iraq is immune to war in the region, pointing out that wars contribute to creating a state of chaos that is exploited by terrorist organizations such as ISIS. 

The media office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement received by Shafaq News Agency, “Hussein stressed during his intervention today, at the ministerial meeting of the countries of the international coalition to defeat the terrorist organization ISIS, held in Washington, that Iraq must be kept away from the wars taking place in the region.” 

Hussein pointed out the “Iraqi government’s deep concern about the current situation in the Middle East, especially in Gaza and Lebanon,” warning that “wars contribute to creating a state of chaos that terrorist organizations such as ISIS exploit, or produce a new version of it.”

He added, “Wars create chaos and increase the number of refugees and displaced persons, which doubles the humanitarian crises in the region.” 

He expressed his concern about “the use of social media platforms by terrorist organizations, most notably ISIS, as a tool for spreading their ideas and recruiting. He stressed the need to combat the organization not only on the ground, but also on social media platforms, warning that the continued use of these platforms without oversight could exacerbate terrorist threats.” 

At the end of his speech, the Minister stressed “the importance of coordination between the member states of the coalition to confront ISIS by all means, including via the Internet, to ensure a comprehensive victory over terrorism.”
