Sayyid Al-Hakeem: Achievements Requires State Strength, Moderation: Power’s Source, Not Weakness
From the district of Khunaifer in Al-Kifl, Babylon Governorate, Sayyid Al-Hakeem, Head of the the National State Powers’ Alliance, met with a large gathering of tribal sheikhs, dignitaries, and residents of the area.
H.E. affirmed that Babylon stands as Iraq’s window to the world, the land of prophets and scholars such as Al-Allama Al-Hilli and Al-Muhaqqiq Al-Hilli, where the early Islamic seminaries were established. H.E. noted that the city of Hillah, through its poets and intellectuals, stood firm against occupation, and that Babylon remains a place sanctified by the passage of the Commander of the Faithful (peace be upon him).
H.E. called for the revival of Iraq’s stature and historical legacy, emphasizing that the nation has emerged from crises stronger and more resilient. H.E. underscored the importance of recognizing the value of existing achievements in political, security, and social stability, noting that these accomplishments are interconnected, political stability supports security, and both pave the way for economic recovery, public satisfaction, and social prosperity.
H.E. added that the slogan #Dont_Waste_It was not chosen arbitrarily, but to reaffirm the importance of safeguarding achievements, deepening national spirit, and strengthening citizens’ connection to their political system.
H.E. further explained that Iraq’s modern experience has long suffered from distortion and misrepresentation of the post-2003 period, noting that genuine recovery depends on successful elections and the realization of sustainable stability. H.E. stressed that adopting the path of moderation and centrism is the surest way to shield Iraq from crises, affirming that moderation is not a sign of weakness but a true source of strength.
H.E. emphasized that the strength of the state is the foundation for every political, security, and economic achievement. H.E. said that a strong state is capable of providing services and protecting Iraq’s interests with neighboring countries, calling for a broader strategic vision that goes beyond short-term successes.
