Baghdad, 21 April 2025 – The Under-Secretary-General for Operational Support, Mr. Atul Khare, visited Iraq from 18 to 21 April 2025 in the context of the upcoming drawdown and transition of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI), followed by a period of in-situ liquidation as mandated by Security Council Resolution 2732 (2024), to determine the nature and extent of Headquarters support to these processes.
During his visit, USG Khare, accompanied by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Iraq Dr. Mohamed Al Hassan, was received by His Excellency, Mr. Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, Prime Minister of the Republic of Iraq. USG Khare also held separate meetings with His Excellency, Mr. Abdul Amir al-Shammari, Minister of Interior; His Excellency, Mr. Thabet Muhammad Saeed Al-Abbasi, Minister of Defence; and His Excellency, Mr. Mohammad Hussein Bahr Aluloom, Undersecretary of the Foreign Ministry for Bilateral Relations who is tasked with working with UNAMI on the Mission transition and liquidation plan.
Discussions with senior Government officials emphasized the shared commitment to ensuring a smooth and orderly drawdown of UNAMI by the end of December 2025, and to completing all in-situ liquidation activities by the end of September 2026.
USG Khare expressed his appreciation to the Iraqi authorities for their steadfast support throughout the UNAMI presence in the country, and noted the positive developments towards lasting peace and stability. He assured the Iraqi authorities of the United Nations’ commitment to the safe removal of all hazardous waste prior to the handover of facilities and locations. He underscored that the continued cooperation and engagement of the Iraqi leadership will be critical to ensure the successful conclusion of this transition.

(Photo by Art Smith) A navigational buoy marks the upstream end of Blennerhassett Island.
Long before a family named Blennerhassett made an island in the middle of the Ohio River their home, people were living and working on the island a few miles downstream from what is today, Parkersburg.
There is evidence that people were on the island for thousands of years. The Blennerhassett family lived there for less than a decade of that time.
The island has not only changed physically, but how humans use the island has changed over time as well.
When George Washington passed the area in 1770 he noted the cluster of islands soon after passing the “Little Kenhawa” — from his writings it does not appear that he stopped there.
For much of the history of the island was actually a cluster of smaller islands that changed with the river flow until around 1859. First Island, Second Island, Four-Acre Island and Towhead Island merged to form the island we see today. During periods of flooding, it is still possible to see the old channels when they fill with water.
Traders from Pennsylvania recorded trading with native Americans on the island in 1765. The following year a surveyor named Thomas Hutchins provided a description of the island and recorded a cabin belonging to Delaware tribe leader Nemacolin.
