Baghdad seeks to seize weapons from five factions
The Iraqi government, led by Prime Minister Ali Falah al-Zaydi, announced that five armed factions have agreed to hand over their weapons. Three of these factions have already surrendered their arms, and negotiations are ongoing with the remaining two. This comes as part of a government plan to restrict weapons to the state, aiming to strengthen the authority of official institutions and weaken armed groups that could threaten the country’s stability. The armed factions are scheduled to begin disarming according to a timeline that will conclude on June 30, 2027. The government is also working on registering the weapons through a database that includes approximately 6 million pieces of arms, in an effort to increase oversight of weapons possession, support economic reform efforts, and attract foreign investment.
