In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

On 13th November 2024, we had the honour of visiting the grave of the late President Jalal Talabani, may God rest his soul. As we remember this national symbol, who stood against dictatorship and played a pivotal role in shaping the political process in Iraq after 2003, we are reminded of the invaluable lessons from his struggle. His unwavering dedication to unity, his prioritisation of the greater good, and his service to the Iraqi people, in all their diversity, stand as a lasting testament to his leadership.

May his soul rest in peace, and we place our trust in his sons and comrades to continue his legacy.
