ERBIL — Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ al-Sudani has stressed the need to stabilize the Yezidi majority-populated region of Sinjar in efforts to facilitate the return of all displaced families.
The Prime Minister made these remarks during a meeting with a delegation of Sinjar residents, with whom he highlighted several topics, including the situation in the town, his office said in a statement.
“During the meeting, His Excellency was briefed on the living and economic conditions in Sinjar district, highlighting the pressing need for reconstruction and the inadequate services it currently lacks,” the statement added.
The continuous displacement of residents is a direct result of the lack of effective local governance in addressing public concerns and meeting the needs of the people. Furthermore, there was a call for the disbursement of designated financial compensation.
Sudani underscored the government's significant focus on the Sinjar district due to the profound suffering endured by its residents as a result of terrorism.
“He expressed the government's responsibility to support and bring justice to the community, underlining the government's commitment to making decisions that align with their significant sacrifices and their determination to stay in their homeland,” the statement continued.
The Iraqi Prime Minister acknowledged the delicate phase Iraq and the region are currently navigating, emphasizing the need for increased effort and collaboration to secure and stabilize the entire country. The goal is to facilitate the return of all displaced individuals to their original places of residence, including Sinjar town.
