Liberation of Tal Afar awaits a Turkish – American deal after the restoration of Mosul
Baghdad Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi will have to persuade the international coalition led by the United States to launch a military operation to free Tal Afar. At least, this process will not begin until the liberation of the entire city of Mosul, which is 60 kilometers away from the judiciary.
Da’ash still controls northern neighborhoods and the center of the Old City on the right coast. Joint forces face obstacles in evacuating civilians, which could prolong the fighting.
Turkman’s deputies say that the unwillingness to escalate with Turkey has prompted Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi to postpone the liberation of the Tal Afar district, which the crowd has been besieging for months.
Turkey threatened several months ago to intervene militarily if Baghdad decided to involve the crowd in liberating the mainly Turkmen city.
And failed all Iraqi attempts to force Turkey to withdraw troops stationed near Baasika more than a year ago.
American decision
“If America agrees to the military operation, Turkey will not object,” said Turkmen MP Nahla al-Hababi, who is from Tal Afar.
“The prime minister, Haider al-Abadi, must convince the international coalition to liberate Tal Afar,” al-Hababi said in an interview with Al-Mada.
The MP believes Nineveh that Washington and Ankara are strong allies in the region. “America is the one who encourages Turkey to stay in Ba’asyika, or it would have withdrawn its forces immediately from Turkey,” she said.
Habibi said that Turkey is one of the main obstacles to the liberation of the majority Turkmen city, noting that “Abbadi postponed the clash with Turkey now for Tal Afar until the liberation of Mosul.”
The Turkmen describe Turkey’s claims of protecting them as “untrue,” referring to its release of the massacres carried out by a preacher in Tal Afar 10 days after the fall of Mosul in June 2014.
“Turkey has closed the doors to the displaced, and some of them have entered diplomatic circles with them,” the Turkmen representative said.
About 200,000 people fled Tal Afar, most of them living in camps for displaced people in Najaf and Karbala.
In contrast, the Turkmen MP points out that the liberation of the city is becoming more complex. “The city will be part of the US-Russian settlement in exchange for Syria’s last battles in Raqqa,” the Turkmen official said.
So Habibi demands that Abbadi seek the interest of the country “and agree with the international coalition to regain control of Tal Afar.”
Fears of vengeance
The problem of the liberation of Tal Afar is not limited to international interventions. As Habibi says that “most of the leadership leaders are Turkmen year of Tal Afar, have carried out executions and killing against the Shiite population, so there are fears of retaliation operations Liberation “.
Over the past few months, a number of Sunni leaders have been active at home to make a decision to prevent the participation of the crowd in the battle to liberate Tal Afar. “The Iraqi army forces and the police will take over the task of liberating Tal Afar,” he said.
The MP Izz al-Din state said, after a meeting of the elders of Tal Afar with the Prime Minister in November last, “Abadi agreed to our request, and decided to send the army, the federal police, and the anti-terrorism to liberalize the judiciary.”
Noting that “Abadi asked us after liberation to form a joint force in the judiciary.”
Simultaneously with the beginning of the battle for liberation in eastern Mosul in November, the crowd began a series of operations to liberate southern Mosul to Tal Afar.
The popular crowd said it had liberated 4,400 km from Mosul to Tal Afar and cut off the road with Syria.
The 15th Iraqi Army Division joined the fighting in western Mosul, in conjunction with Abadi, on the parties involved in the liberation of Mosul.
Zero hour
The commander of the operations of Nineveh Major General Najm Jubouri that the Iraqi army forces in the 15th Division is preparing to storm the district of Tal Afar. Jubouri said in February that “the band is waiting for the command of the commander-in-chief of the armed forces to launch the military operation.”
But the military operation has not yet begun. “The military operation will not take place before the liberation of Mosul,” said Mohammed al-Bayati, head of the Ninewa Security Committee.
Al-Bayati has no explanation for the reason for the return of control over the entire Mosul, before the restoration of the predominantly Turkmen city.
“We have heard from the military leaders that the liberation of Tal Afar will be after the completion of control of the right-hand coast of Mosul,” he said.
On the other hand, there is no problem with the number of troops, according to the local official. “The popular crowd, the Tal Afar police force and the 92nd Brigade of the army, most of whom are from the city, will participate in the liberation of Tal Afar,” he said.
The crowd (the Hussein Brigade), which includes 6,000 members of Tal Afar, will be the only faction to take part in the battles.
In contrast, al-Bayati said that “more than a group of Sunni Turkmen in Tal Afar formed in the next stage, will participate in the process of liberation.”

____________________________________________________________
DayTrader, a News Researcher for DinarUpdates.com, recently had some interesting commentary.
Here are his thoughts:
Article 140 is much more complex than many realize. If you read Article 140 in the Iraq constitution, it refers to Article 58 of the Law of Administration for the State of Iraq for the Transitional Period that outlines all the steps that must be completed. This was a document constructed by Paul Bremmer to be used until a permanent constitution could be developed and ratified by Iraq. Article 58 states:
Article 58.
(A) The Iraqi Transitional Government, and especially the Iraqi Property Claims Commission and other relevant bodies, shall act expeditiously to take measures to remedy the injustice caused by the previous regime’s practices in altering the demographic character of certain regions, including Kirkuk, by deporting and expelling individuals from their places of residence, forcing migration in and out of the region, settling individuals alien to the region, depriving the inhabitants of work, and correcting nationality. To remedy this injustice, the Iraqi Transitional Government shall take the following steps:
(1) With regard to residents who were deported, expelled, or who emigrated; it shall, in accordance with the statute of the Iraqi Property Claims Commission and other measures within the law, within a reasonable period of time, restore the residents to their homes and property, or, where this is unfeasible, shall provide just compensation.
(2) With regard to the individuals newly introduced to specific regions and territories, it shall act in accordance with Article 10 of the Iraqi Property Claims Commission statute to ensure that such individuals may be resettled, may receive compensation from the state, may receive new land from the state near their residence in the governorate from which they came, or may receive compensation for the cost of moving to such areas.
(3) With regard to persons deprived of employment or other means of support in order to force migration out of their regions and territories, it shall promote new employment opportunities in the regions and territories.
(4) With regard to nationality correction, it shall repeal all relevant decrees and shall permit affected persons the right to determine their own national identity and ethnic affiliation free from coercion and duress.
(B) The previous regime also manipulated and changed administrative boundaries for political ends. The Presidency Council of the Iraqi Transitional Government shall make recommendations to the National Assembly on remedying these unjust changes in the permanent constitution. In the event the Presidency Council is unable to agree unanimously on a set of recommendations, it shall unanimously appoint a neutral arbitrator to examine the issue and make recommendations. In the event the Presidency Council is unable to agree on an arbitrator, it shall request the Secretary General of the United Nations to appoint a distinguished international person to be the arbitrator.
(C) The permanent resolution of disputed territories, including Kirkuk, shall be deferred until after these measures are completed, a fair and transparent census has been conducted and the permanent constitution has been ratified. This resolution shall be consistent with the principle of justice, taking into account the will of the people of those territories.
The challenge has always been how to implement the required changes. Those steps coupled with the fact that some of the people that Saddam Hussein forced out and those Sunnis that he brought in are no longer living. The resolution will have to involve their children, plus the process will also be challenged in identifying and finding all these families. This is not a quick fix. IMO that is why Abadi gave the responsibility to create an implementation plan to Barzani and the governor of the Kirkuk province. All of that said, I don’t believe that the implementation of Article 140 is tied to the revaluation of Iraq’s currency. I haven’t found any reference to Article 140 in any of the UN resolutions or SBA documents between the IMF, CBI and GOI.

– The Central Bank of Iraq resorted to the use of machines to sophisticated counting and sorting which can detect counterfeit currency, in addition to banks guide using modern techniques in the currency examination, but the problem is not doing shopkeepers enough efforts to use the machines to check the currency, as the bank seeks to campaign media to sensitize the public on how to distinguish between the original currency and counterfeit currency by issuing a booklet definitions and (posters) for this purpose and will be distributed to banks in major shopping malls, and in all cases, the counterfeit currency rate is still within the internationally accepted borders , where even T ratio (0.000025) (Twenty – five million paper sheet).

– While we hope the citizens do not keep large amounts in homes or buried in the ground, and to do instead in the deposit with the banks, as the replacement of the burnt currency process or damaged it costs the central bank financial burdens and administrative Colva unwarranted, however the bank is to receive citizens whose savings in Iraqi currency to fire accidents provided that they are documented by the civil Defense Department and be sourced from the project, either in terms of currency (buried) are sufficiency statement on the sources of these funds, and in this regard we call on citizens not to accept the mediation of any hand to Astb The Iraqi currency and that this bank does not receive any commission for its replacement.
