Newsweek: The Sudanese man who wants to make Iraq great again

11/14/2025

In an extensive report published by the American newspaper Newsweek, the spotlight was on Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, describing him as “the man who wants to make Iraq great again,” in reference to his ambitious vision to revive Iraq’s historical and cultural role on the international stage.

The newspaper stated that al-Sudani, who assumed the premiership following a political crisis that ousted his predecessor in 2022, has transcended being merely a “temporary solution” to become a pivotal figure leading Iraq through a critical juncture in its history. It added that the upcoming e*******s, in which more than 7,700 candidates are vying for the position, could determine his political future and his chances of leading the country for a second term.

According to the newspaper, Al-Sudani envisions Iraq as a future global hub for trade, investment, and innovation, basing his vision on its vast natural resources, latent human potential, and rich cultural heritage spanning thousands of years. During his interview with the newspaper at his office in the Presidential Palace in Baghdad’s Green Zone, Al-Sudani pointed to the Code of Hammurabi, describing it as “the first law of humanity” and an example of Iraq’s contributions to humankind.

Al-Sudani said: “Iraq is a great country, a homeland of civilizations for 7,000 years… This greatness is in the genes of Iraqis, generation after generation, and it is the secret of their resilience in the face of challenges.”

The newspaper concludes its report by noting that the e*******s will not be just another vote, but a crucial moment that could reshape modern Iraq and give it the opportunity to regain its prestigious position in the world, under the leadership of a man who believes that his country deserves to be great again. (LINK)
