“The Libyan people did not embrak on their revolution because of sectarian backgrounds, but because of the fact that their cause was related to a people deprived,” Maliki said.
*****“The people of Iraq suffered more than the Libyan people, but were able to achieve their freedom,” Maliki said.
Maliki also said that “the Libyan people had expressed their position, at a time when other Arab peoples had been suffering from absence of their freedom, and due to the fact that their States had been treated as a property of a certain party or family.”*****
“The Iraqi people had been in a worst situation than that of the Libyan and other peoples in the Region, who had suffered a lot..
But today, we have achieved freedom and several successes, thanks to the efforts of the security men, the people, the media men, politicians, intellectuals and others,” Maliki stressed.
