Iraq War sovereignty transfer: Coalition Provisional Authority hands over power to interim government.

The Coalition Provisional Authority officially handed over sovereignty to the Iraqi interim government, marking the end of the Iraq War. This transfer of power symbolized a significant milestone in the efforts to rebuild Iraq after the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime. The interim government, led by Prime Minister Ayad Allawi, gained control over the country's political and security affairs. This event aimed to establish a stable and democratic government in Iraq, transitioning from a period of occupation to self-governance. The move was seen as a step towards restoring Iraqi leadership and rebuilding the nation's infrastructure and economy. However, challenges such as ongoing security threats and political divisions persisted even after the handover. The sovereignty transfer was intended to pave the way for eventual free elections and the drafting of a permanent constitution. It was a crucial moment in the broader geopolitical landscape of the Middle East and the U.S.-led War on Terror. #IraqWar #SovereigntyTransfer #IraqiInterimGovernment #CoalitionProvisionalAuthority #RebuildingIraq
