Democracy empowers people to express their opinions, make decisions that affect their present and future, and fosters a culture of dialogue and diversity. On this occasion, we affirm that strengthening democracy in Iraq is a shared responsibility that requires the awareness and active participation of all parts of society for a more stable and prosperous Iraq. This calls for the effective participation of everyone to build nations where justice, stability, and peace prevail.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On September 15th of each year, the world celebrates the International Day of Democracy, affirming that democracy is not merely &#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":128,"featured_media":2257,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2253","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
