Iraq denies agreement on protection of disputed areas

Peshmerga

 

The Iraqi Defense Ministry today denied news of an agreement between the Peshmerga and the US-led international coalition to review plans to protect Kirkuk province and disputed areas.

The Peshmerga said in a statement yesterday that it agreed with the international coalition led by Washington, to review the military plans for the disputed areas in the north of the country, following a meeting in Erbil, between officials of the Peshmerga and representatives of the International Alliance.

A statement issued by the Center for Security Information that the security situation in Kirkuk and the disputed areas "within the responsibility of the federal forces, and security forces impose full control over those areas, and the coalition forces in this regard."

The statement added that the security forces have developed a comprehensive and integrated plans to control security and promote stability in Kirkuk and other provinces, and that significant intelligence efforts by the security services to eliminate the sleeper terrorist cells and criminal elements.

He pointed out that "public opinion noted that there is a great welcome from the people of Kirkuk security forces and the achievements of great security in them."

In recent months, terrorist activity has increased significantly in the disputed areas between Baghdad and Erbil, particularly in the province of Kirkuk.

The Peshmerga dominated most areas of conflict with Baghdad until it was taken out by Iraqi forces last October, following the Northern Territory's referendum on secession from Iraq, which was met with domestic and international rejection.

Before the invasion of the "preachers" to northern Iraq and the West, these areas were administered jointly by the Peshmerga and Iraqi forces, and the regional forces want to return to those areas.

The Da'ash attacks reflect the challenge facing the Iraqi government, which announced a "victory" over the organization with the restoration of its entire territory late last year after a three-year war.

Iraq launches a large-scale military operation against the cells of the organization calling in the center of the country

Iraqi Army - Arshefi

 

(AFP)

 

 

Iraqi forces in coordination with the Kurdish Peshmerga on Wednesday launched a massive military operation to eliminate cells of a sympathetic organization in the center of the country between the Diyala road and the Iranian border, according to an official statement .

 

The spokesman for the Iraqi Security Information Center, Brigadier Yahya Rasool, said in a statement that "the revenge of the martyrs under the supervision and coordination of the Joint Operations Command, the units of the army, the federal police, the rapid response, the popular crowd, the Diyala police, Salahuddin and in coordination with the Peshmerga forces .

Rasul pointed out that the operation aims to "clean up the areas located east of Diyala - Kirkuk ."

The operation comes in response to the execution of an organization calling for hostages who were in his grip, and security forces found their bodies last week on the road to Baghdad, Kirkuk .

Despite Baghdad's declaration of an end to the war against the extremist organization after the return of the last inhabited city it occupied, experts point out that extremist militants are still lurking along the porous border between Iraq and Syria and in hideouts within vast areas of the Iraqi desert .

Areas in the vicinity of Kirkuk and Diyala in the north are witnessing a security deterioration, with jihadists still able to erect checkpoints and cross-border kidnappings .

Experts warn of the existence of cells hiding in desert areas, especially at the border with Syria, or in the mountains of Hamrin and the Great Desert, where it is difficult for Iraqi forces to impose control, raising fears of the return of jihadists .

In preparation for the restoration of his army control of tenderness ... Progress in negotiations between the Syrian regime and the Kurds

Have the PKK images and flags actually been removed? ... and a new leader of «Qusd»

 

Jul 04, 2018

Al-Raqqa - Al-Quds Al-Arabi: According to identical sources, the negotiations between the Kurdish self-government in northern Syria and the Syrian regime are moving toward achieving an agreement that would bring the Syrian regime into the security and restore a security box in Hasaka. 
The talks between the two sides have continued since April this year, but their pace has escalated in recent weeks. The delegations of the military and security system continued to come to Hassakeh and Qamishli to meet with representatives of the Kurdish self-government. According to sources of tenderness, one of the proposals put forward on the table for the return of the regime is the reopening of the state's official institutions and the stationing of the regime's forces in a security square inside Al-Raqqa before it spreads in the city at a later stage.
The current negotiations revolve around a few points, according to those familiar with the course of the talks, the most important of which is the joining of Kurdish militia fighters to the regime's army, the deployment of the regular army on the Turkish-Syrian border and the restoration of control over the border points with Turkey, In addition to the oil and gas fields of the Syrian Ministry of Oil and the General Administration of Rumailan and Al-Jibsa. On the other hand, the Kurdish activists are talking about a Kurdish demand that the oil minister in the Syrian government be Kurdish, Of the compulsory service period of the regular army, and teaching the Kurdish language in the curriculum of the Ministry of Education. 
The question remains whether the pictures and flags of the PKK have been removed from the areas of self-administration? 
In a new sign of the imminent agreement between the regime and the Kurds, it appeared to the public. Eyewitnesses and local residents in Al-Hasakah and Ras Al-Ain reported that most of the signs and flags referring to Abdullah Ocalan and PKK were removed from the main roads. But the Kurds were quick to deny the link to the negotiations. They issued a statement on the council of municipalities in the executive council of the island province, self-administration, in which they declared that the aim of removing pictures and flags from the main squares in Al-Hasakah, Qamishli and Ras Al-Ain is to "beautify the city" .
The Syrian regime returned to confirm that the removal of the flags was part of the process of establishing the autonomous region in northern Syria to enter the "Syrian state." The Syrian newspaper al-Watan reported that this move was part of the Syrian regime's conditions for the Kurds, The return of the people of recruitment to all the cities of the province of Hasaka ». Saleh Musallam, a Kurdish leader, said weeks ago that self-government might be moving to allow the regime to return to Kurdish areas.
On the other hand, the international coalition appointed the commander of the brigades of Raqqa Ahmed al-Aloush, known as "Abu Issa," commander-in-chief of the "Syrian Democratic Forces" in the province of Raqqa. A source close to the Syrian Democratic Forces (QD) told the German news agency (dpa) «The US-led coalition led by the United States of America commander of the brigades of Raqqa Abu Issa, commander-in-chief of the city of Raqqa and dissolved the brigade of revolutionaries completely, The decision to appoint him officially in the next few days ».
"The decision to appoint Abu Issa came to resolve the dispute between him and the Kurdish People's Protection Forces, which controls the Syrian democratic forces and spare the city the escalation that took place last month and the clashes between the brigades of Riqqa rebels and elements of the Kurdish units that control the" Which is currently conducting a military campaign to reach the northern and western Rifqa countryside under the pretext of searching for cells belonging to the organization of a sympathetic and air support of American Apache aircraft ». The sources questioned "the success of Abu Issa in his new mission because of the control of elements of the Kurdish units on the strength and the existence of congestion among the elements of the Brigade of the revolutionaries who belong to the tribes of Arab tenderness and elements of Kurdish units that want to remain dominant, which is likely to be escalation at any moment.
The sources revealed that «the appointment of Abu Issa, the general commander of the Syrian Democratic forces in the tenderness by the International Alliance for the removal of tension in the city of Raqqa, which refuses to most of its clans control Kurdish units on the city and saw the city during the past month clashes between the elements of the brigades of Riqqa rebels along with a number of civilians from Kurdish protection unit and units ». Abu Issa accepts the majority of the Al-Raqqa tribes as he did not participate in the campaign to liberate the expulsion of an organization calling for Al-Raqqa, which they consider a campaign to destroy the city of Al-Rigga. Talks in the city of Al-Rigga about handing over to the Syrian government forces are frequent through statements by Kurdish unit leaders that they want to negotiate with the Syrian regime without conditions.
Sources in the Syrian opposition said that the Kurdish People's Protection Units arrested early last week the commander of the brigades of Raqqa and his deputy from his headquarters in the 17th division north of the city of Riqqa after the clashes that took place in the city and its closure last Sunday. The brigades of Raqqa are the last factions of the Free Syrian Army in Al- Major General in the battles of the city of Ain Al-Arab (Kubani) and expelled an organization calling from the northern Rifqa and refused to participate in the process of liberating the city.

The Shiite-led Iraqi government is trying to force a demographic change in 500 Kurdish villages across northern Iraq’s disputed Kirkuk province, arming and resettling thousands of Shiite Arabs in the region, a Kurdish mayor reportedly claimed this week.

Backed by Iran-allied Shiite militias in October 2017, the Iraqi military overran Kirkuk after Kurds in the semi-autonomous Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) overwhelmingly approved an independence referendum.

In the wake of Kirkuk’s fall to Baghdad, Luqman Hussein, the mayor of the Sargaran subdistrict of the Dibis district in Kirkuk, repeatedly warned that Baghdad is trying to impose “Arabization” against the local Kurds through the Iraqi government-appointed governor of the region.

 

Goran Abdulla, a Kirkuk-based Kurdish activist, told Kurdistan 24 that following the Oct. 16 events, Baghdad-appointed provincial Gov. Rakan Saeed “has led a systematic process of Arabization and Shiafication of the contested region.”

Both Baghdad and the KRG claim ownership of Kirkuk.

“Since the Oct. 16 events, the Baghdad-imposed governor of Kirkuk brought thousands of Arabs to the Dibis and Sargaran areas,” the Kurdish mayor declared in a statement issued Tuesday, noting that the Iraqi government has armed and resettled in the Kurdish villages, Kurdistan 24 reports.

The mayor for months has accused Baghdad of bringing Arabs into Kirkuk and allowing them to seize land.

 

“Hussein claimed 500 Kurdish villages in the areas of Dibis, Sargaran, Perde, Hasar, Shwan, Laylan, Trkalan, Daquq, and Topzawa face the threat of Arabization by the local authorities in Kirkuk Province,” Kurdistan 24 reports.

Echoing Hussein, Abdulla reportedly cautioned, “The resettling of 17,640 Arab families to Kirkuk city center threatens to change the demography of the city … noting that 3,024 of those families were brought from outside of the province.”

In January, Hussein accused Shite Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi of backing “Arabization policies against the Kurdish population in Kirkuk.”

For months now, Hussein has been urging the KRG to take action against the “Arabization” of Kirkuk, historically home to a diverse population of Kurds, Arabs, Turkmen, and other groups.

 

Except for Israel, all Middle Eastern countries and the United States came out against the KRG’s efforts to break away from Baghdad and become an independent state.

Historically, neighboring Iran, Turkey, and Syria have all opposed Iraqi Kurdistan independence as they fear the desire for a sovereign state would spread to their own Kurdish populations.

Syrian Kurds have also accused Ankara of imposing “Arabization” in northern Syria, which borders Turkey.
