Procrastination and delay.. Expectations that the Americans will not leave Iraq
Information / Report… The government has kept its negotiations on the withdrawal of American forces from Iraq shrouded in mystery. Iraqis do not know what the axes of the Iraqi-American negotiations are, and whether there is an implicit agreement on withdrawal or a permanent stay.
Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein announced the postponement of the issue of the withdrawal of American forces from Iraq for an unknown period, which is a warning of more crimes and violations committed by these forces on Iraqi territory.
It seems that the government has turned a deaf ear to the voices calling for the withdrawal of American forces from the country, which confirms the fears of these forces remaining inside Iraqi territory.
The accusations extend to some political parties that are working to keep American forces in Iraq.
This was confirmed by the head of the organizing body of the popular movement for the Belt and Road, Hussein Al-Karawi, who accused these parties of perpetuating the American presence inside Iraq.
Al-Karawi told Al-Maalouma Agency, “These parties work to serve agendas related to their personal interests, pointing out that the attempts of Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein and some other politicians to keep American forces inside Iraq come from a standpoint of common interests.”
He pointed out that “the Kurdistan Region, led by Massoud Barzani, is seeking in every way to ensure the presence of American forces in Iraq, through the clear cooperation known between it and the American and Zionist sides.”
He considered that “it is not strange for the Minister of Foreign Affairs to stand by the continued American military presence inside Iraq, and announce the postponement of the withdrawal of the occupation forces from the country.”
For his part, the leader of the United Anbar Alliance, Dhari al-Dulaimi, confirmed today, Tuesday, that the joint committees responsible for scheduling the withdrawal of American forces have not made any progress in setting a timetable for withdrawal from Iraq.
Al-Dulaimi told Al-Maalouma Agency, “The joint committees concerned with withdrawing American forces from Iraq have not made any progress in setting a date to begin the process of evacuating American forces from their bases in Iraq,” noting that “the procrastination and delaying practices practiced by the American delegation are an indication that these committees are formal and came as a result of popular pressure demanding the departure of these forces.”
He added that “the rumours of American statements about the imminent withdrawal of its forces from Iraq are nothing but media speeches whose purpose is to procrastinate and delay in order to absorb the public pressure demanding their departure,” indicating that “American forces are not withdrawing from Iraq at the present time according to the statements of its officials.”
Member of the State of Law Coalition, Ahmed Al-Sudani, said on Sunday that Washington is delaying the paragraph on withdrawal from Iraq, noting that the exit of American forces is necessary to achieve national security.
Al-Sudani said in a statement to Al-Maalouma Agency, “An important part of achieving national security for Iraq is to remove the American forces that play a negative role in the security scene through repeated attacks.”
He added, “Washington is delaying its talks with Baghdad in determining the withdrawal paragraph through fixed timetables, and this matter reflects America’s agenda in Iraq and its attempt to remain despite popular rejection from all spectrums,” indicating that “the demands of the Iraqi people are clear regarding this crown.”
He explained that “the security situation in Iraq is stable and it has large forces capable of warding off terrorist threats,” noting that “the situation necessitates the withdrawal of American forces from the country and any procrastination by the administration in Washington is unacceptable.”
It is noteworthy that the current government has formed joint committees to work on expelling the Americans after the numerous violations they committed on the country’s territory.
