The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, announced the formation of a bilateral committee to schedule the withdrawal of the international coalition forces from Iraq.
Al-Sudani attended, on Friday morning, the memorial ceremony held by the Popular Mobilization Authority on the fourth anniversary of the martyrdom of Al-Nasr leaders and their comrades in 2020.
Al-Sudani pointed out, in a speech, that the attack that led to the martyrdom of the deputy head of the Popular Mobilization Authority, the martyr Jamal Jaafar Al-Ibrahim (Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandes), and the guest of Iraq, General Haj Qassim Soleimani, is a blow to all the customs, covenants and laws that govern the relationship between Iraq and the United States, just as it was an unjustified heinous crime.
He pointed out that the government is in the process of determining the date of the start of the work of the bilateral committee to make arrangements to end the presence of the international coalition forces in Iraq once and for all, and that there will be no abandonment of everything that would complete national sovereignty over Iraq’s land and sky.
He pointed out that “four years ago, at the dawn of January 3, 2020, the US administration committed a heinous act, killing an Iraqi military commander, deputy head of the Popular Mobilization Authority Jamal Jaafar Al Ibrahim, Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis,” noting that “the assassination of Iraq’s guest, General Qassim Soleimani, is a double blow to Iraq, its traditions and customs and an attack on two countries.”
He pointed out that “Iraq has a strategic partnership agreement with America and diplomatic relations, and thus the main principles of international relations and the provisions of the Charter of the United Nations of sovereign equality between countries and the prohibition of the use of force in international relations have been violated,” noting that “Iraq lost a man who was concerned throughout his years that Iraq is free and independent.”
He pointed out that “the martyr Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis evoked his struggle and jihadi legacy, and advanced the ranks to pay for Iraq the evils of the terrorist ISIS, and rose under the shadow of the fatwa of the reference to lead the people of the crowd in those difficult days.”
Al-Sudani continued, “Our government has set projects, plans and targets to raise living standards and reduce poverty rates, and we stressed that this year will be the year of achievements, and efforts to fight corruption will continue, with all the powers and legislation of the government, and we have completed the provincial council elections that have been disrupted for years, to promote political stability.”
He said that “our region has been living in a congestive situation since October 7 last year, due to the aggressive and criminal policies practiced by the occupation authorities against Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied territories and warned us that the continuation of brutal practices in Gaza will have serious repercussions on the region and the world, and we have begun to see its effects today in many countries of the region.”
“The most serious incidents are repeated more than once in Iraq, through international coalition forces carrying out attacks against the headquarters of the Popular Mobilization,” the prime minister said, stressing that “the popular crowd represents an official presence of the state, subject to it and an integral part of our armed forces.”
He explained, “We have repeatedly stressed that in the event of a breach or abuse by any Iraqi party, or if Iraqi law is violated, the Iraqi government is the only party that has to follow up the rations of these violations,” noting that “the government is the authority authorized to impose the law, and everyone must work through it, and no one can exceed the sovereignty of Iraq.”
Al-Sudani condemned “the attacks targeting our security forces, and go beyond the spirit and letter of the mandate that created the international coalition,” stressing “the government’s ability and readiness to take appropriate decisions in preserving Iraq’s sovereignty, security and stability, it is at the heart of its responsibilities, obligations and constitutional duties.”
He also stressed “the firm and principled position in ending the existence of the international coalition after the justifications for its existence ended,” revealing, “We are in the process of determining the date of the start of the dialogue through the bilateral committee that was formed to determine the arrangements for the end of this presence, a commitment that the government will not retreat from, and will not overdo everything that would complete national sovereignty over the land, sky and waters of Iraq.”
He concluded by saying, “The credibility of loyalty and gratitude for the blood and sacrifices of the martyrs requires all of us to respect the state and its constitutional institutions.”
