Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan Barzani on Wednesday marked the anniversary of Mohammed Sadiq Al-Sadr’s* assassination, describing him as a unifying voice who addressed all Iraqis regardless of their affiliations.

Barzani said that his “legacy remains a beacon that illuminates the path of unity and coexistence,” adding that Iraq can rebuild when it upholds the values of truth, cooperation, and national belonging.

* Grand Ayatollah Mohammed Sadiq Al-Sadr (1943–1999), father of cleric and Patriotic Shiite Movement leader Muqtada Al-Sadr, was a prominent Iraqi Shia religious authority (marja’) known for advocating government reform and the release of detained Shia figures. He was assassinated along with two of his sons.
