The Head of the Al-Hikma Movement, Ammar Al-Hakim, stressed the importance of upgrading the electronic systems in the military institution.

Al-Hakim said in a statement, “We met with Defense Minister Thabet Al-Abbasi and exchanged views about the Iraqi defense system and what it should be,” calling for “improving the reality of the Iraqi army in numbers and arming it from international sources and with advanced weapons and equipment.”

He stressed the importance of upgrading electronic systems in the Iraqi military institution, stressing the necessity of putting the right man in the right place.

He added, "The military institution is for the competent, away from private favoritism," calling for "confronting cases of corruption and manipulation of the forces of fighters, if such cases exist."

He explained that the current threat is a security threat that requires diversifying plans in coordination with the rest of the security categories, as ISIS terrorism seeks to exploit any security loophole, so the loopholes must be closed and preemptive military operations must be maintained./End
