The Deputy Speaker of the Parliament of Iraq, before Al-Hadat:

The armed factions said they were acting on the decisions of a neighboring country, not Iraq.

Limiting weapons to the state deals with unifying security decision-making and preventing skirmishes and internal wars. Every federal system in the world has its own powers.

The factions have to trust the government, since it comes from the same component they belong to.

If Iraq does not pursue any of the factions' weapons, the consequences will be dire and disastrous.
