Press Statement by Dr. Mohamed Al Hassan, Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General for Iraq and Head of UNAMI

Press Statement

United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI)

Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary General

Thank you for attending this press conference on this memorable day in Iraq’s democratic process. This morning, we had the honor of visiting a number of polling centers in Baghdad, and in the evening, I will also visit a number of polling centers in Basra. UNAMI officials will be deployed to all Iraqi governorates to view and follow up on the progress of the voting process in polling centers. I am pleased to see this turnout of voters, and the good organization demonstrated by the Independent High Electoral Commission (IHEC). What I have seen today is evidence of the great efforts made by the Commission to ensure the technical and administrative readiness to hold orderly parliamentary elections.

Today, is a democratic milestone in which the Iraqi people celebrate the exercise of their constitutionally guaranteed right to choose their representatives freely, responsibly and honestly, in a scene that embodies their free will and their adherence to the democratic choice towards building a more secure, stable and prosperous future, in order to build an Iraq for all, an Iraq of pride and dignity. It is a day in which Iraqis reaffirm that the voice of the citizen is the source of legitimacy, and that conscious and responsible participation is the basis for consolidating democracy and strengthening trust in institutions, where there is no space for corruption, and no place for nepotism. It is the time for an Iraq free of negative phenomena.

For more than two decades, UNAMI has successfully contributed to the organization of several national elections (thirteen electoral processes), in accordance with international standards. What we are witnessing today is the fruit of this long process of cooperation, and a testament to…

Ramapo honors Native American Heritage Month

The Office of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Compliance (EDIC), along with Allies of the Ramapough Munsee (ARM), hosted the Native American Heritage Month Celebration in Friends Hall on Thursday, Nov. 6, along with guest speaker Native American playwright Madeline Easley.

President Cindy Jebb was the first official speaker of the celebration and recognized how important this month is to the community at Ramapo.

“It is important to know that amongst the broader Native American community, diversity and significant nuances do exist as we’ll learn from our guest speaker and playwright,” said Jebb.

Chief of Staff Brittany Williams-Goldstein then took the stage to open up with a brief anecdote about her native heritage. Her father’s side of the family is Native American, and he grew up in Kansas City before it got its name.

ARM President Lane Evers delivered a speech as well, describing the message behind the club’s mission and achievements. 

“It is our responsibility to acknowledge and honor Ramapo College’s relationship with the Ramapough Munsee Lenape peoples,” Evers stated. “We recommit our energies to strengthening our partnership with the nation by empowering our nursing students, faculty, and others to help bring healthcare to local members, continuing to enroll nation members in the college’s Ramapough Munsee Lenape Nation Scholarship program, sharing campus resources so that tribal members can more easily traverse off the sacred ground just off Halifax Road, and so relationships with members of the broader Bergen County community can be forged.”

Easley is a citizen of the Wyandotte Nation of Oklahoma, as she was born in Kansas City. Her work is meant to tell stories that provide a framework for living in decolonial futures. Easley’s projects have been presented at REACH at the Kennedy Center, the TCL Chinese Theatre, La Jolla Playhouse, and more. 

Easley’s first play, “Feast…

UN urges timely Iraqi government formation after ‘effective’ elections

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region of Iraq – United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres late Tuesday called for a swift formation of Iraq’s next government, lauding the “calm and orderly” elections as “effective” and reaffirming support to Baghdad. 

 

Iraq held its sixth legislative vote since the 2003 US-led invasion on Tuesday, with an unexpectedly high turnout rate of 55 percent at 99.7 percent of the ballots counted. Nearly 7,750 candidates competed for the parliament’s 329 seats. 

 

“The Secretary-General welcomes the generally calm and orderly conduct of the polls and trusts that political stakeholders will maintain the spirit of peace and respect for the electoral process as results are awaited,” Stephane Dujarric, spokesperson for Guterres, said in a statement. 

 

He further “the importance of a timely and peaceful government formation process that reflects the will of the Iraqi people and addresses their aspirations for stability and development.” 

 

Over 300 international observers were present to cover the process. 

 

Iraq’s Independent High Electoral Commission (IHEC) is expected to announce preliminary results for the vote later on Wednesday. It is currently in the process of manually and electronically tallying the votes cast in over 7,000 polling stations across the country.

 

Reaffirming the UN’s commitment to Iraq, Guterres thanked the UN Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) as the body approaches the conclusion of its mission. 

 

“The Secretary-General also wishes to express his appreciation for the Mission’s long-standing partnership with Iraq’s electoral institutions and the conclusion of over two decades of UNAMI’s electoral assistance,” the diplomat said.

 

Headed by Mohamed al-Hassan, UNAMI is tasked with assisting the country in countering human rights violations and strengthening ties between the government, citizens, as well as civil and justice institutions. The mission’s mandate is set to terminate on December 31, 2025.

Local college honors veterans across the area

https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=3FdoGW_16TToFD200

NANTICOKE, LUZERNE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — November 11 is Veterans Day, a day used to honor those who are currently serving or have served our country. Several events are taking place to honor our veterans, many of which are held at local colleges, including Luzerne County Community College (LCCC).

LCCC is hosting its annual Veterans Day ceremony at the Patrick J. Solano Veteran Center in Nanticoke.

The ceremony honors veterans through the singing of the national anthem, the Pledge of Allegiance, and a presentation of the colors.

The program paused to honor 85-year-old Marine Corps veteran Frank Carden for his service and dedication. Carden served during the Vietnam War and in Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm.

He attended college more than four decades ago and graduated, but never received his diploma.

“Well, it was a great honor for me. I’ve been looking forward to this for the last 47 years. I received a great education here and had some outstanding teachers,” Carden expressed.

PHOTOS: First snow comes through Pennsylvania

College President John Yudichak is a longtime friend of Carden, but didn’t know the story until recently.

“It was very special for me to have a family friend here today. A veteran of the United States Marine Corps. To honor him for his service to his country and also honor him as a member of the alumni association of Luzerne County Community College,” stated Yudichak.

Both hope ceremonies like these continue to honor veterans for years to come.

“We have so many men and women who have dedicated their lives, and so many men and women who have given their lives,” said Carden.

“It’s so important that each new generation of Americans understand the sacrifice that went into building this great nation,” Yudichak expressed.

This year also marks the 250th anniversary…

Knoxville, TN – Collision at Kingston Pike & N Mohican St Results in Injuries

Knoxville, TN (November 9, 2025) – Emergency crews responded to a motor vehicle crash with injuries Saturday afternoon at the intersection of Kingston Pike and North Mohican St in Knoxville. Firefighters and medics were dispatched to the scene, where they provided aid to those injured in the collision.

The incident was reported around 4:29 p.m. on November 8, prompting Engine 12 and Quick Response Vehicle 4 to respond via Tac Channel 8. According to emergency radio traffic, the crash occurred at a busy crossroad in the 37919 ZIP code, a corridor known for both residential access and commercial traffic.

While officials have not confirmed the number of individuals hurt or the extent of injuries sustained, dispatchers indicated that it was an active injury crash requiring medical intervention. No fatalities were reported, and authorities remained on scene to assist with traffic control and investigate contributing factors.

The cause of the crash is still under investigation by local law enforcement. Motorists in the area experienced temporary delays as first responders cleared debris and ensured the safety of the intersection.

Our thoughts are with those injured in this collision, and we hope for a full and swift recovery.

Intersection Collisions in Tennessee

The crash at Kingston Pike and North Mohican St is a reminder of the dangers present at busy intersections, particularly in active areas like Knoxville’s Bearden district. As one of the city’s main east-west thoroughfares, Kingston Pike carries significant volumes of local and through traffic—often increasing the risk of crashes, especially during high-traffic hours.

Intersection collisions are among the most common types of motor vehicle accidents in Tennessee. Factors such as red-light running, improper turns, distracted driving, and obstructed visibility all contribute to these incidents. Even at moderate speeds, such crashes frequently result in injuries to drivers and passengers alike.
