11/11/2024  Baghdad

Today, Monday, the Ministry of Interior set the date for the start of the curfew in  Iraq  for the purpose of conducting the population census, which falls on the 20th and 21st of this month, while revealing the entities exempted from the curfew.

The spokesman for the Ministry of Interior, Brigadier General Muqdad Miri, said during the joint press conference between the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Planning regarding the population census, "According to a royal order, the Supreme Security Committee for the Census was formed. It took several steps in all governorates and the region and provided protection for the cadres and devices used in the census and provided protection for the tablet centers."

 He pointed out that "the census will be on the 20th and 21st of this month, and there will be instructions for a curfew. First, the curfew timing will begin at midnight on November 19th on the 20th at 12 midnight."

 He added, "The movement of citizens, vehicles and trains between governorates, districts and sub-districts and between district centres is prohibited except in humanitarian cases and extreme circumstances. "

He pointed out that "those authorized by the security authorities, the statistics directorates, the store manager, and the employees of the Ministry of Planning are allowed to move to work on the census, as well as authorized journalists who carry official badges."

It is clear that "another exception is for all those charged with duties and diggers from the health and service cadres," noting that "the exception is for the movement of immediate ambulances, traffic and rescue vehicles, and workers in embassies and United Nations organizations."

 For his part, the spokesman for the Ministry of Planning, Abdul Zahra Al-Hindawi, said: “It was a big challenge to have the census electronically through tablets, communications devices and other equipment,” indicating that “more than 120,000 enumerators will participate in the census process.”

 He revealed, "The absence of a census created a large data gap, so this darkness that enveloped the scene will be illuminated through the census," adding, "We will draw a new map of the scene in Iraq that will be like a cat in the flesh to diagnose the problems existing there."

 Al-Hindawi said, "All our work takes a year and a few months, while there are censuses that take five years to prepare for," noting, "We have completed all preparations and are waiting for the 20th and 21st to start the census and impose a curfew throughout Iraq."

 He added: "Not providing data through families will produce an unclear picture, and we ask citizens to provide the correct information and prepare the required documents," noting that "our message to the citizen is not a security warning, but rather to have a stable picture to implement the census properly, and this is the history of Iraq."   LINK
