Excerpts from the 1st political statement of CINU, announced on 31/3/2003 A.D, and it reads as follows:
O people of our great Iraqi nation:
The primary motivation for this coalition is to rid the Iraqi people from oppression and persecution, and achieve its legitimate objectives in freedom and democracy, and ways of decent living. And from our sense of responsibility towards this people and history, the struggle of this coalition has begun, coming out from the realm of abstract thinking to practical application in March of 1991 A.D, and as follows:
1. Educate the masses and prepare them psychologically, educationally and culturally, because our coalition, leadership and bases, is inside Iraq and all through its governorates' area.
2. Use the media from inside home and abroad such as distribution of publications, education and public awareness.
However, this Coalition has offered a lot of martyrs and sacrifices and still on the road of struggle until by God's help the foundations of democracy are properly laid.
Building on the current international circumstances favorable to attain that, and in coordination with the international alliance, our coalition has decided to proclaim itself, and to move and shift to public struggle for a free, democratic, brotherly associated and progressive Iraq.
As the CINU proclaims itself, and all zealots of Iraqi people, from different sections and factions, rally around its banner, from extreme south to extreme Iraqi Kurdistan.
The CINU appeals to all helpless factions of Iraqi people and armed forces, not to hesitate a moment and join the ranks of people thru enrolling in the centers of CINU. Which will be announced on our territory; and we also appeal to you the enthusiasts to safeguard public funds, stay away from rancor, personal and tribal vengeance, and soon the sun of freedom will shine, God willing, and God is the Arbiter of success.
