WHAT HAPPENED

On 18 September, Prime Minister’s security adviser Qasim al-Araji said the committee for bringing weapons under state control had no fixed completion deadline. He said the Coordination Framework formed the committee, Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi directly supervises it, and illegal arms holders will face the law once the process is complete. Kurdistan24 reported the same statement, while iNEWS (KSS — affiliated) and Watan TV (Badr Organization — affiliated) carried the deadline denial.

    “We deny setting a time limit for the work of the weapons-inventory committee; there is no specified period for completing its work. The committee was formed by the Coordination Framework and operates under the direct supervision of the Prime Minister. Once bringing weapons fully under state control is complete, everyone who illegally carries weapons will be treated in accordance with the law.”

    ننفي تحديد سقف زمني لأعمال لجنة حصر السلاح، ولا توجد مدة محددة لإنهاء عملها. اللجنة مشكلة من الإطار التنسيقي وتعمل بإشراف مباشر من رئيس الوزراء. عند اكتمال حصر السلاح بيد الدولة بالكامل، سيُعامل كل من يحمل السلاح بصورة غير شرعية وفق أحكام القانون.

WHY IT MATTERS

The direct government statement resolves the status of 30 September as not being the committee’s completion deadline, while leaving the state’s eventual enforcement position unchanged.
