Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani said that Iraqis were encouraged by what he called change after 2003, but they collided with terrorism, mismanagement and rampant corruption. He said that the Arabs made a strategic mistake by moving away from Iraq in the post-occupation phase.
The Iraqi official saw that his country was subjected to occupation by a decision of the United Nations Security Council, and after 2011 it began to govern its institutions. He denied the existence of targeting the Sunni component in Iraq as part of the former regime, and said that part of this component was rejecting the process of change.
