The government's lack of seriousness in removing the Americans leaves Iraq exposed to them, 5 JUNE

   The government's lack of seriousness in removing the Americans leaves Iraq exposed to them

It seems that there is nothing hidden from the Americans inside Iraq, as they know everything and eavesdrop on everything, and all this while the government is silent in the face of the popular will that calls for the removal of the American occupier from the country.

An international coalition led by the United States toppled the former regime in 2003, then Washington declared itself an occupying force in the country.

In 2008, the United States and Iraq concluded the Strategic Framework Agreement, which paved the way for the complete withdrawal of American forces in late 2011 after 8 years of occupation. The agreement regulates relations between the two countries at various political, security, economic, cultural and other levels.

American forces returned to Iraq at the request of Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi in 2014, after the terrorist organization ISIS invaded a third of Iraq's area in the north and west.

America came with about 60 countries under the pretext of fighting the terrorist organization, before Iraq regained all of its territory from the organization in 2017 after 3 years of war, with the help of the Popular Mobilization Forces and the rest of the security forces.

Baghdad and Washington agreed to withdraw all combat forces from the international coalition by the end of 2021, but America remains to this day and has committed many crimes against Iraqi civilians, in addition to committing dozens of assassinations that targeted the mujahideen from the national forces and voices.

In the previous parliamentary session, the Iraqi parliament voted to completely withdraw American forces from Iraqi territory, but there was no withdrawal.

During the era of the government of Muhammad Shiaa al-Sudani, pressure increased on this government to expel the American occupier, and the Sudanese actually demanded that the Americans withdraw from Iraq, but it seems that these calls were to calm the angry street and nothing more, despite the talk of the head of the Supreme Committee to End the Mission of the International Coalition, the Chief of Staff of the Army, Lieutenant General Staff Abdul Amir Rashid Yarallah, with the continuation of consultations and the presence of seriousness in removing the occupier.

Political analyst Qasim Balshan questioned the government's statements to remove the American occupier from Iraq, describing them as “media consumption.”

alshan told Al-Ma'louma, “Everything that is said about movements to remove American forces from Iraq is just talk for media consumption.”

He explained, “Removing these forces lies with the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces and not with the House of Representatives, which voted in the previous parliamentary session to remove the American occupier from Iraq.”

He pointed out, "The framework agreement signed during the era of former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki stipulated that the withdrawal of forces would be at an official request from the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces," noting that "Sudanese did "Do not submit this request to the American administration."

While the head of the Presence Movement, Muhammad Abu Saida, criticized the continuation of American air sorties in Iraqi airspace and the military presence without any actual movement from the government to end the presence of these forces.

Abu Saida told Al-Maalouma, “Ain al-Assad base contains more than 1,950 American soldiers from the Marine unit and more than 4,500 soldiers inside the American embassy in central Baghdad. These forces remain and there is no movement towards removing them from Iraq.”

He added, "American forces are present in various types of military bases, as everything that is said about their exit from Iraq is just talk."

He stated that "American aircraft continue their sorties in Iraqi airspace, to collect information and visual and audio data through special eavesdropping devices."  link
