Dr. Muhammad Seddigh Ahmad, the Deputy Representative of Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) of Iraq, dealt with the roots of the attacks of Islamic State of Iraq and Sham (ISIS) on Mosul and the necessities to react to it on a note published by Ebtekar Newspaper.

After having humanity consequences of this attack, he took a glance at the meaning of terrorism. In his point of view, terrorism tends to occur in failed and failing state and those whose are going to be established (like Iraq). He continued to say that even though America’s Attacks to Afghanistan (2001) and Iraq (2003) aimed to confront of terrorism, after upon 10 years Middle East still get engaged into terrorist security phenomena.

Dr. Ahmad believes that not only to military confrontation with terrorism is vital, but we also should take advantage of non-military innovations to dissolve the roots of this phenomena whose centre is democracy. Dr Ahmad pointed that the high –ranking authorities of KRG have warned about the army defections and the present political effects upon security situations to authorities of federal government, typically they did not notice. Federal government also got involved into issues like unimportant acts, divisive acts and power politics.

Dr. Ahmad phrased that ISIS were supported by some interior groups and regional powers. Meantime, He deemed the slogans of ISIS claiming to support the rights of Sunnis minorities of Iraq manipulative and claimed that this group was against the progress and development and advancement of the nation of Iraq. He pointed to Nechiravan Barezani’s, the prime-minister of KRG, phrases relating to being unsuccessful of actions to create compatibility amongst Pishmargh troops and army of Iraq, the actions still ongoing.

On Dr Ahmad’s viewpoint, the necessity to react with kinds of terrorism operations, to establish democracy, to restore all Iraqi’s rights aside from the racism and religious separations as well as visible and practical participation of all groups on politics of Iraq are achievable. If doing so non Iraqi groups and sects tend to feel being neglected.

He continued to mention Pishmargh forces’ abilities and potentialities and their attempts being made to jointly reaction of Pishmargh and army of Iraq. In his view, federal government merely is responsible for creating national solidarity to confront of terrorism. In addition he pointed that after Saddam no powerful government has been established.

At last Dr. Ahmad phrased that whereas the stability in Iraq and region is the matter of some regional powers, federal government can take advantage of this potential of the countries to successfully pass such current crisis. Meanwhile, the role of Islamic Republic of Iran is remarkable, as for broad relations with most Iraqi groups can provides the possible opportunities to create so3lidarity among these groups.
