Hadi al-Amiri calls for the withdrawal of Coalition forces from Iraq
Shafaq News/ Hadi al-Amiri, the Secretary-General of the Badr Organization, on Monday said that there is no longer a need for the presence of Global Coalition forces in Iraq, stressing that it hinders the development of the Iraqi army and other security institutions.
"It is time for the global coalition forces to exit Iraq, as there is no longer a need or justification for their presence," he said in a statement he released earlier today, "as long as the global coalition forces are present, no one expects the development of the military capabilities of the Iraqi army and other security institutions."
Al-Amiri, a prominent Shia leader in the ruling coordination framework, continued, "It is truly reprehensible that after all the significant achievements and major victories our security and military agencies have accomplished in their battle against ISIS at its peak, some still argue for the necessity of keeping international forces under the pretext of assisting Iraqi security forces in dealing with the remnants of this terrorism."
He also urged the Iraqi government to take all necessary measures to determine a new, short-term timeline for the withdrawal of the US-led coalition from Iraq.
