Ethel Nujaifi: Christian complaints behind the US sanctions against the promise of Qadu

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The leader of a party in Iraq, Ethel al-Nujaifi, said on Sunday that Christian complaints of US sanctions against the commander of the 30-strong Popular Front had been promised by Qadu.

"The subject of US sanctions is not new and concerns the conditions set by America when it contributed to the war against the Da'ash in Iraq," Nujaifi said in an interview with Alsumaria. "America had several conditions, including that the popular crowd should not enter Mosul by agreement between Government and America. " 

"These sanctions have been initiated by the United States to reduce the influence of those close to Iran in areas that have been exposed to terrorism," he said. 

He pointed out that "there are complaints by Christians against the promise of Qadu, as well as complaints by human rights organizations." 

Last Thursday, the US Treasury Department announced sanctions on four Iraqi figures - Ahmad al-Jubouri, Rayyan al-Chaldani, Nawfal al-Akoub and Abu Jaafar al-Hatti.

The file of Iraqi absentees who were displaced, the majority of them civilians, in 2015, 2016 and 2017 is the most opaque to the extent that investigations into their fate have not been updated. 

MP Abdullah al-Kharbit on Saturday, August 03, 2019 revealed the liquidation of more than 20,000 Iraqis by armed security elements. 

"Security forces in uniforms of the Iraqi police, the Popular Mobilization and Tribal Forces are involved in the liquidation of 20,000 Sunni Arabs," Kharbit told Rudaw Media Network. He pointed out that "thousands of innocent people were arrested at Iraqi security checkpoints after being arrested on suspicion; while they do not know their fate so far." 

He also stressed that "3000 people are missing in the Saqlawiyah district of Anbar province, and more than 8,000 people in Samarra, and in Nineveh, Diyala and Salah al-Din there are similar numbers." Likely "completely liquidated."

He added that the Iraqi government had been asked about the fate of thousands of innocent people, but unanswered, so it is certain that all these abductees have been liquidated. 

An interim committee was formed to follow up the file of the kidnapped and absentees in unknown prisons from the governorates of Anbar, Salah al-Din, Babylon, Nineveh, Kirkuk and the belt areas of the capital Baghdad. Militia, armed. 

Although the Iraqi government has announced the liberation of the country's territory from ISIS control since December 2017 and the return to normalcy in liberated areas, there are still many thorny files.

  • yota691 changed the title to The popular crowd shuns its biggest financiers from gambling halls

%D8%B5%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%AA-%D9%82%D9

The arrest of one of the biggest drug and gambling barons in Baghdad was not merely a revelation of a series of crimes and the dismantling of a gang. And its affiliates.

BAGHDAD - After being a close friend of some of the most important leaders of the Popular Mobilization, officials and politicians, Haj Hamza al-Shammari, under mysterious circumstances, became the "leader of the Mafia in Iraq," after he was arrested in Baghdad and charged with a series of charges, most notably the management of gambling sites and prostitution And the drug trade.

No one has a clear history of the rise of this character, which is surrounded by suspicions, despite the sudden emergence of its relationship over the past five years, with senior leaders of Iraqi armed factions loyal to Iran, and some of the most important politicians and officials.

In recent years, Hajj Hamza has become a notorious supporter and advocate of the Popular Mobilization Forces, making millions of dollars in donations to the force and funding charities for them, without going into the source of the funds.

Residents of the area where the home of Haj Hamza, in central Baghdad, say that the leaders of the Popular Mobilization, politicians and senior officials, used to frequent this place, which is suspected of providing sexual services to them.

Over time, Haj Hamza became a “red line,” a term used to identify or be associated with Hashd figures who could be killed.

But the relations and movements of Haj Hamza, outside the political center, revealed some aspects of his mysterious personality, as he appeared alongside Iraqi and Arab stars in various fields, for example, art and sports.

Perhaps the first signs that linked this character to many question marks came from the office of former Interior Minister Qasim al-Araji, who made a surprise decision to close the gambling halls in Baghdad, without disclosing the reasons.

For many Iraqis, the presence of gambling halls in the heart of Baghdad is a surprise in itself. To jump to the forefront of the names of prominent leaders in the Popular Mobilization, it is said that they sponsor this file.

Sources close to the former Minister of Interior, that "Haj Hamza, offered millions of dollars to Minister Qasim al-Araji, in exchange for agreeing to allow the return of gambling halls, which was rejected by the minister," after information from multiple sources, about the huge money being wasted inside these lounges .

Once Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi's government was formed, and even before the new interior minister was named, Hajj Hamza reopened his gambling halls in two high-end Baghdad hotels, again asking the same questions about the legality of these actions and those who protect them.

It is rumored in Baghdad that these sites, specially protected by armed groups linked to some leaders of the Popular Mobilization, which means that the entry by regular forces, is impossible.

With information on the volume of funds circulating in these lounges, and the link to the “sacred” popular mobilization, the embarrassment widened.

Suddenly, the Hashd published information about an operation ordered by Adel Abdul Mahdi himself, against the gambling halls in Baghdad.

The Popular Mobilization said that its "Security Directorate" carried out "the largest campaign in the history of Iraq to pursue mafia roulette and gambling halls and drug dealers and the sale and purchase of women," adding that the campaign "resulted in the arrest of the alleged Haji Hamza al-Shammari, the leader of the largest Mafia in Iraq and control All places of gambling, prostitution and drug trafficking ”.

"Twenty-five of his followers and officials who claimed to be members of the Popular Mobilization and possessing false identities were arrested and killed some Iraqi youths by engaging in drugs and gambling to earn millions of dollars a day," he said.

"Through the campaign, a large number of slot machines, narcotics and some items were seized, according to fundamental judicial warrants," the crowd said.

He added, "After the implementation of the qualitative process was successfully handed over with the seized narcotic substances to the national security in order to interrogate them and bring them to justice to receive their just penalty."

He said that "some social networking sites in support of these mafias" published "footage of surveillance cameras of the crowd security heroes raiding the dens of crime and corruption, and promoted that the process did not take place according to judicial orders and that the material seized was stolen," stressing that "the fact that these heroes They broke the thorn of the blood of our youth and took prostitution, gambling and drugs as a means to form gangs and huge capital. ”

Although this announcement was intended to ward off the suspicion of the link between the Popular Mobilization and Haj Hamza, for observers it was a condemnation of the crowd itself, with references to the theft of funds during the raid.

Iraqi writer Farouk Youssef said Haj Hamza al-Shammari would not be the last person in the qualifying war. Mafia, the financial backing of the popular mobilization, cannot be controlled in an orderly fashion. That's because they manage the bulk of their operations in secret. The advertiser is what could constitute material for public conversations.

Youssef did not rule out in a statement to the "Arabs" that the forces affected by the fall of Shammari to strike a blow to other mafia symbols active in the level of human trafficking and drugs and the management of gambling halls and brothels. Shammari's scandal lies not in its public disclosure, but in the prestige of a man whose profession has destroyed society, even though the title of “pilgrim” is still attached to his name when he is mentioned. This could refer to many of the characters referred to as “Mr.” and “Pilgrim” titles even though they trade in vice.

The brightness and fall of Najm al-Shammari sheds light on the Iraqi reality, which is now being managed by entities known only for its influence gained from the secret services it provides to the symbols of power in Iraq. If these services have been made public, they are only because of their proliferation and expansion under the protection of militias. If Al-Shammari is sacrificed as a lamb, his services will not be affected. Hundreds of like-minded people will perform their inalienable job after they have become a major part of the crowd's income after funding from Iran has been cut off.

Tariq Harb, one of the leading legal experts in Iraq, asks whether the arrest of Haj Hamza will launch a "mafia war and liquidation between the leaders and competitors to monopolize this trade?". And about the character "who will succeed Haji Hamza" at the top of these acts?

He said that "the profits resulting from the gambling trade in Baghdad, parallel or exceed what the federal government hopes to get, from the export of Kurdistan oil" disputed between Baghdad and Erbil.

He described the war, between the "East Gate and the aviation square in the north, and the beginnings of Karrada and Alawite south" inside the Iraqi capital, "Las Vegas Baghdad," referring to the American city, which is famous for large gambling halls.

Observers believe that "the announcement of the Popular Mobilization to move against Haj Hamza, comes in response to the order of the Prime Minister, raises many question marks, the body authorized to this kind of arrests is the Ministry of Interior, not the Popular Mobilization."

Sources familiar with the details of this file, that "the crowd, used the name of Abdul-Mahdi, to cover up the process of internal liquidation, against a partner whose name has become a source of suspicion, and must be turned his page, in order to preserve the trade itself," noting that "what supports this information “A number of gambling halls are still operating in Baghdad, despite the campaign that the crowd is talking about.”

The sources pointed out that "the transformation of Haj Hamza from silencer of secrets, to a source of conversations that challenge the integrity of some leaders of the Popular Mobilization, pushed the Popular Mobilization to end his file by linking him with accusations difficult to believe its full responsibility, without the presence of strong partners."

Iraqi legal expert Tariq Harb asks how long the investigation into the case of Haj Hamza will remain confidential, noting that although the law allows some investigations to be confidential, but it is "temporary confidentiality," and details must be disclosed at some time.

The interpretation of the war, the possibility of collusion in the investigation file, to prevent major scandals, which affect senior leaders in the crowd and prominent politicians, from appearing publicly.
