On this day "June 29, 2014" ISIS announced the establishment of its disastrous state in the lands it controlled in Iraq and Syria, and appointed a "caliph" for it.

It is the memory of the greatest catastrophe that befell us as a people and a state, and we have to remember it with pain and as a lesson so that history does not repeat its dark act. Terror has desecrated honor and land, killed thousands of lives, led to the displacement of millions, and caused a deep national wound.

States are not established and managed arbitrarily, and they have nothing but defeats and disasters if they leave good governance, responsible administration and national solidarity. The establishment of the "Myth State" on this day is only a result of the failure of the leadership of the state and the performance of the functions of governance and the humility of the ability to respond to the political, security, and economic challenges facing the state. The internal and external conspiracies would not have succeeded without the mismanagement, corruption, fragmentation of the decision, and conflicting agendas of the state forces.

Iraq has paid a lot to turn defeat into victory, and to crush the black newborn the "Myth State", it paid the dearest of souls, honors, and resources, and we must not allow the factors of defeat to be repeated.

In order to survive and develop, the state needs an honest, strong, and effective national government, responsible and patriotic state forces that serve the citizen, not themselves, and a societal solidarity that transcends strife, otherwise history will repeat itself.
