During his speech at the first conference of the national reconciliation project in the Baghdad belt areas the PM said that there are external plots designed to stir up conflict between communities and between provinces and within the province as well, which is sought by the planners of these dangerous plots to cause division among ourselves and rivalry, discord, and fragmentation.

Dr. Haider Al-Abadi stated that I will not be negligent in the prosecution of corruption and the corrupt until they are defeated, and I will continue to seek them out, noting that they are trying to downplay the reforms because they are affecting them and they want to put the country in danger.

terrorists are dealt with.

He said that there are those who try to incite the security services, but there is respect of demonstrators for the security services and for their part the security services have a soft approach with the demonstrators.

Dr. Haider Al-Abadi said there is a campaign to bring down all the authorities in the country and bring down everything, and we continue to reform, and called for reform of the judiciary and fighting the corrupt, and that the reforms do not target an individual, but I since I was an MP I refused to legitimize corruption.
