Unannounced preparations in Baghdad to celebrate the liberation of Mosul

 

Baghdad / Wael Ne'ma

In Baghdad, for several days, "undeclared" preparations have been held to commemorate the liberation of Mosul, coinciding with the third anniversary of the fall of the city, but by a hasty organization.
On June 9 and 10, 2014, the organization took over the city of Mosul before imposing its control in subsequent days on a number of cities.

A number of ministries received instructions regarding the arrangements for the celebration, and invitations were also extended to Arab and foreign guests, including artists and media personnel, to attend the event.
In the past few days, the semi-governmental media has not ceased to preach what it called the "Great Victory Week", in reference to the imminent announcement of the liberation of Mosul coinciding with the anniversary of its occupation. Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi promised three weeks ago to hold official and popular celebrations in the event of a final victory over a cleric in Mosul. "The government will prepare a special program to celebrate this occasion," Abadi said at the weekly press conference in May. "The celebration will be official and popular, in which all official and popular institutions will contribute in all Iraqi provinces." The joint forces are separated from the completion of the liberation of Mosul, a small area in the heart of the Old City, surrounded by about 1,000 armed men, as well as tens of thousands of civilians. According to the latest military estimate, 97% of the center of Mosul has been restored.

Victory in the memory of occupation
Sources revealed to the (range) preparations by a number of service ministries, including the Ministry of Culture, to hold a large festival for the "Declaration of Victory" in Baghdad.
These instructions are very limited in relation to sensitive military and security measures related to the situation in Mosul.
According to the leaks, the celebration will be attended by Arab media and art personalities. The concert is likely to take place on June 10, or the next few days.
The website of the seventh day of Egypt, recently published an apology to one of the Egyptian representatives, to attend the celebration in Baghdad, which confirmed that it will be held on June 12.
The website quoted Khaled Al-Sawy, who wrote on his official Facebook page, that he officially apologized for attending the Iraqi Security Forces ceremony scheduled for June 12, on the occasion of the Iraqi army's victory over the terrorist organization Da'ash.
Al-Sawy attributed the reason for his apology to his artistic connections, as well as his preoccupation with traveling to Arab countries in the coming days.
The newspaper said that "this celebration is scheduled to be attended by a number of Egyptian artists and Arabs, in addition to a number of public figures in Iraq."
Nayef al-Shammari, a deputy for Nineveh and a member of the security committee, said Iraqi forces were trying to resolve the battle of the city on the anniversary of its fall.
Al-Shammari said in a statement to Al-Mada yesterday that "the military leadership has drawn up a new plan to liberate the old city in the center of Mosul," expecting that the plan would enable Iraqi forces to quickly control the heart of the city.
"The importance of turning the memory of the fall of Mosul into a day of victory," the MP said.
But Saad al-Hadithi, a government spokesman, said that "the celebration is linked to the liberation of Mosul." "The challenge of the date is with the military leadership, which we hope will be soon," al-Hadithi told al-Mada.
The prime minister had said during his recent press conference that "a fugitive is taking control of a small point in central Mosul, but we will not underestimate it." He denied that he had "identified the day of the fall of Mosul to declare the liberation of the city of the Dahesh."
On the other hand, a deputy close to the Prime Minister confirmed that the process of liberating the city will take longer.
"Abadi told us that there are some problems in the process of liberation, and that the declaration of victory will be after the Eid al-Fitr holiday," said MP al-Mada, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The federal police said yesterday it controls 75 percent of the Zanjili district in central Mosul. Major General Raed Shaker Jawdat, Commander of the Federal Police Forces, said that "the Northern Axis forces impose full control over 75% of the Zanjili neighborhood and are very close to Bab Sinjar, the northern port towards Al-Nouri Mosque in the Old City."
For more than 10 days, the joint forces have fought in the last neighborhoods adjacent to the Old City. The process of liberating the old alleys is expected to take longer.
The federal police announced that they had killed 193 snipers and detonated 414 car bombs, 1053 armed wheel and 405 motorcycles. The aircraft killed 1221 terrorists, while the explosive treatment teams dismantled 483 explosive devices and detonated 283 other explosive devices.

Wish to end the battles
In turn, MP Ali al-Badiri said he had information confirming the existence of preparations underway "in full swing", to declare the "victory in Mosul" on the anniversary of the fall of the city or close to this date.
"In the coming days, Iraqi forces will arrive near the Hadba Lighthouse in the center of Mosul, and then the rest of the neighborhoods will fall automatically," he said.
"The declaration of liberation will be in the last week of Ramadan, and the festivities will be associated with Eid al-Fitr," he said.  The military leadership, and parties close to the operations, circulated a number of dates for the liberation of the city, the latest mid-Ramadan.

In the meantime, a deputy for Nineveh said that "the time is early" to talk about the announcement of victory in Mosul.
"There are still fierce battles in the Zanjili area and healing, and we believe that these areas and the old city can be liberated in the coming days," MP Mohammad Nouri al-Abdrabah told Al-Mada yesterday.
The humanitarian situation has made it more difficult for the fighting there. The United Nations has admitted the deaths of more than 160 civilians when Fatah opened fire on the population.
MP Abed Rabbo, who oversees a number of clan fighters in southern Mosul, said Mosul would be freed "as quickly as possible," but stressed that "the size of the battle is greater than the security

 

 

 

The article has two points of view from two sources out of the MPs. One, the first is on condition of anonymity. The second is not. Therefore, it is in my opinion the one that is on record is to garner more weight in my assessment. I would like to hear Frank and Delta to chime on this one today, as it appears to need clarification. If there is any or not.  Thanks! Love the Study! ~ MM

Iraq PM Abadi hails anti-ISIS quick victory

June 12 2017 12:10 AM

Haider Abadi

 

Iraqi PM Haider Abadi said Sunday that none of the world leaders had dreamed such a quick victory against ISIS terror group, asserting that the banner of victory will soon be lifted. 

A statement released by Abadi's media office said, "Abadi  met this morning with special forces and congratulated them on the victories they have achieved in many battles in the mountains of Makhoul, Tikrit, Falluja and others after uniting efforts with the army and the federal police and Counter-Terrorism forces".

The statement quoted Abadi as saying that "Iraq has the capabilities and power unless it is owned by others, and that none of the leaders of the world was dreaming that victory would be achieved at such a rapid pace,"pointing out that "the dispersion led to the entry of a supporter and our unity led to victories and liberating the land".

"We are determined to protect citizens, prosecute those involved in organized crimes," he said.

The Iraqi army, backed by the US-led international coalition, started an offensive to liberate the second largest Iraqi city in October 2016.

The Iraqi army announced it was about to fully recapture Mosul.    

Iran-allied IMIS militias participates in the operations. But it is involved in tortures, lootings and killings of civilians, particularly Sunnis.

Three years after the fall of Mosul, ISIS makes a bloody final stand

June 11 2017 01:31 PM

.

The Telegraph

 

Major General Najim al-Jabouri had hoped to be celebrating yesterday. June 10 marked three years to the day since Iraq’s second city of Mosul fell to ISIS and the chief had wanted to deliver a victory before the extremists could claim yet another grim anniversary, The Telegraph reported on Sunday.

But the offensive - one of the largest urban battles since the Second World War - is still raging.   

“We will have the biggest party of our lives when it is over,” he told The Telegraph from the generals’ makeshift headquarters on top of a hill in east Mosul, overlooking plumes of smoke rising from the western side.  

Isil may be cornered in just three square miles of the historic Old City, but Gen Jabouri’s troops are seeing some of the most intense fighting yet in the eight-month operation. 

He says around 700 local fighters and 250 foreign remain, many of whom positioned around the al-Nouri mosque where Isil leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi declared the group’s “caliphate”.  

“It is clear they will be defending until the last bullet,” he says. “We had predicted June, but it is now likely to be July.”  

Gen Jabouri had been in the US when Isil stormed Mosul in the summer of 2014, watching it unfold on the TV from his home in Virginia.  In what seemed to outsiders like an unforeseeable blitzkrieg, heavily-armed Isil militants took huge swathes of the country after US-trained Iraqi forces downed their guns and retreated.  

By the autumn of that year, they had seized control of a third of Iraq and a third of neighbouring Syria - an area the size of Britain.  

Twenty-four members of Gen Jabouri’s family were killed during the first few months of the terror group’s reign in Mosul, his hometown.  

“They were slaughtered because of their connection to me. Daesh thought they were feeding me information,” he said, using the pejorative Arabic name for the group.  

“Deash sent me videos of the killings. They were creative. One of my cousins was put in a tank, which was filled up with water until he suffocated. Another was (handcuffed) inside a car, which was shot with an RPG.”  

A former Baathist officer under Saddam Hussein, the 60-year-old commander had left northern Iraq for America in 2008, fearing militants from ISIS predecessor, al-Qaeda, would kill him and his family.

But in 2015, the Americans asked him to return to head Operation Conquest, the mission to retake Mosul. 

The Pentagon saw Gen Jabouri, who speaks English and used to be a small-town mayor, as a reliable commander. During the early years of the US invasion he had worked closely with HR McMaster, the American general who is now Donald Trump's national security advisor.  

They also believed a Sunni Muslim leading the offensive to liberate the Sunni-majority city would help win over a population still deeply mistrustful of the Shia-dominated army. 

But Gen Jabouri is keen to downplay the sectarian element of the struggle for Mosul.  

“I am Sunni, married to a Shia. The problems are not between the people, but the politicians,” he says.   

Yet post-Isil Mosul is already plagued by accusations that the Shia militias fighting in support of the army are persecuting Sunni residents.   

Human rights groups accuse Hashd al-Shaabi, or the People's Mobilisation Forces, of carrying out the extrajudicial torture and killing of dozens of civilians.    

Many soldiers in Hashd al-Shaabi, like Gen Jabouri, lost family members to Isil. For some, the liberation of Mosul has become a settling of scores.  

They have erected Shia flags on checkpoints in newly liberated areas and sprayed graffiti in praise of the revered Shia imam Hussein ibn Ali.  

“I hate the Shia,” one resident from a neighbourhood in west Mosul recently freed by the army told the Telegraph. “I saw them drink tea as people were dying in the street,” Umm Omar said, perhaps unfairly.    “West Mosul was the home of the major ISIS fighters, and the army is just enjoying watching it burn.”  

Gen Jabouri has come under criticism for the heavy casualty rate in the left side of the city, which is divided in two by the Tigris river. 

Thousands of civilians have died since the start of the offensive in October. More than 400 are thought to have been killed in the last week alone.  

Some have been caught in the crossfire, some in coalition air strikes, the rest at the hands of Isil, which has been using the population as human shields. And Isil’s final stand looks set to be behind a wall of civilians.

Gen Jabouri’s men have few options left. The Old City’s streets are too narrow for heavy weaponry and air strikes are causing major collateral damage.  Iraqi aircraft have been dropping leaflets urging residents to leave where they are able to. So tight is the extremists’ siege on the Old City, however, that only a trickle of the estimated 150,000 people trapped have managed to flee.  

The last few days have seen unspeakable horror. Isil snipers have taken over the roofs of homes, from where they are shooting anything that moves.  

Last weekend, Isil militants shot and killed more than 160 people as they tried to reach the Iraqi army. The few that survived hid under the bodies of dead relatives for days in over 40 degree heat until troops could get to them safely.  

While east Mosul sustained relatively minor damage, the western side of the city has been obliterated. In some neighbourhoods The Telegraph visited not a single building was left standing.  

Gen Jabouri says he plans to play a central role in helping rebuild the city, but no one in Mosul knows who to trust anymore.
