UNITED NATIONS, Feb. 17 (Xinhua) -- The special representative of the UN secretary-general for Iraq, Nickolay Mladenov, on Tuesday stressed the optimism he feels for the country's future, while tempering those hopes with fear over the many things that can go wrong and saying the most pressing goal for the Middle East nation remains defeating Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant ( ISIL).
""I am a paranoid optimist,"" Mladenov said in his final briefing as the UN Iraq envoy to the UN Security Council Nelson Agholor Eagles Jersey , noting the efforts made by the Iraqi political, community and religious leaders to save their country from terror. ""Today, more than ever, there is a growing understanding that the country can only move forward based on the principles of democracy, rule of law, respect for diversity and inclusivity.""
Even though the national unity government was set on addressing many long-standing concerns of the Iraqi people Mack Hollins Eagles Jersey , Mladenov said that he remains ""paranoid.""
""So many things can go wrong,"" he said. ""ISIL remains in control of most of Iraq's western provinces, the fragile efforts towards unity and reconciliation need to be carefully nurtured if they are to bear fruit, while the economy has been hit by falling oil prices and skyrocketing security costs,"" he said.
Iraq is facing an insurgency by the jihadist group ISIL, also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) or the Islamic State (IS) Donnel Pumphrey Eagles Jersey , which has forced thousands of people mainly from minority communities to flee their homes since late last year.
The group, whose fighters had seized vast swaths of territory in northern Iraq since June 2014 and announced the establishment of a caliphate in areas under its control in Syria and Iraq, has released videos showing beheadings of people including two American journalists and a British aid worker.
Mladenov also touched upon the Iraqi government's ""important steps"" on political and institutional reform, economic and social reconstruction and national reconciliation, as well as its efforts to engage countries in the region.
""Iraq's most pressing goal remains to win back territory taken by the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, ISIL Rasul Douglas Eagles Jersey ,"" he said. ""The authorities have pledged to provide military and financial assistance to local leaders and tribal fighters to aid their struggle against ISIL.""
