UN Special Representative Kubiš Extends Ramadan Greetings

16 May 2018

Baghdad, 16 May 2018 – The Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General for Iraq, Mr. Ján Kubiš, extends his greetings to all Muslims, to all the people of Iraq, on the onset of the Holy Month of Ramadan.

“This year’s Ramadan is the first after Iraq’s nationwide liberation from Dae’sh terrorism. Those displaced by the conflict are gradually returning to their homes to resume their normal lives. Elections have just been held in a largely peaceful manner. All these are indications that the country is steadily moving forward,” Mr. Kubiš said.

“In this atmosphere, I hope that people will remember their less fortunate brothers and sisters who are still afflicted and who remain displaced. Ramadan is a time when we remember those suffering and extend a helping hand to them,” the Special Representative said.

“May everyone have a joyous and a peaceful month. Ramadan Kareem,” he added.
