Peace Ambassadors for Iraq, a non-governmental organization dedicated to achieving peace in Iraq, has hired Washington D.C.-based public affairs agency Logan International Relations for help spreading its message in the media and among U.S. policy makers.
The Riga, Latvia-based association was founded in 2014 to collaborate with individuals and international governments on bringing peace and reconciliation to Iraq, to explain to Western audiences the ongoing current situation in that country and to promote ideas on how to eliminate ISIS and other terrorist groups in the region.
PAFI was co-founded by Harita Tohme, a Latvian citizen who also serves as chairwoman, and Jamal al-Dhari, an Iraqi citizen and one of the leaders of al-Zoba, one of the largest tribes in Iraq, who currently serves as PAFI President.
PAFI has hired Logan to communicate the organization’s objectives among U.S. policy makers and to promote PAFI’s work in the media. Logan will arrange meetings and events between PAFI and U.S. political leaders regarding the realities on the ground in Iraq and the need to support wider peace and reconciliation efforts in Iraq.
That pact was signed by Logan owner and principal Paul W. Hamill.
