Sowayanah leader reaffirms Mam Jaleel's stance on Christians
On the anniversary of Jalal Talabani's passing, Koldo Ramzi Oghna, the head of the Christian Soyiana Bloc, highlighted the late leader's stances that consistently emphasized his support for the rights of Christians in Iraq. He confirmed that Jalal Talabani regarded Christians as an integral part of the Iraqi people and passionately defended their cultural and political rights since the early 1990s. He contributed to establishing institutions dedicated to supporting Christian identity and fostering cultural communication. Talabani stood against their forced displacement following acts of violence and threats by providing aid and implementing plans to rebuild their areas. Additionally, the creation of a Christian Affairs Office within the Presidency in 2011 reflected his ongoing concern for their issues. His political vision embodied the idea that Christians are genuine partners in the homeland, and that protecting their presence requires safeguarding their political will and genuine representation in elections—away from major sectarian interventions.
