Al-Araji: State control of arms is a key Iraqi strategy

The Iraqi government has confirmed that the decision to centralize weapons under state control is a clear Iraqi strategy aimed at achieving full sovereignty and preventing any entity from violating it. The process of weapons collection will be carried out gradually and systematically, with a timetable for disarming armed factions and having them hand over their weapons, following the deadline for weapons surrender on September 30, which marks the departure of the international coalition from Iraq. Negotiations are ongoing with five armed factions, three of which have already surrendered their weapons. The government emphasizes that weapons will not be handed over to any external party and that there is a need to separate political parties from the Popular Mobilization Forces to ensure political balance. This effort is supported by broad political consensus backing the state's endeavors to enforce its sovereignty and regain control over weapons.
