Secretary-General of al-Nujaba in a Fars News Conference:

We will respond to the martyrdom of Shaykh al-Nimr in Saudi Arabia itself | The division of Iraq is dangerous for all Iraqis

 

Hujjat al-Islam al-Ka’bi “The response to this crime will be in Saudi Arabia itself and we are capable of what we say.”

 

According to the Communication and Media Affairs Centre of al-‎Nujaba in Iran, Hujjat al-Islam Akram al-Ka’bi, the secretary-general of al-‎Nujaba, held a press conference on the situation on the ground in Syria and Iraq on January 12, 2016, at Fars News Agency.

He explained that he came to present a report on the performance of the Islamic Resistance in Syria and Iraq to the sources of emulation and said. “In fact, the main purpose of this trip is to keep the sources of emulation informed of the latest developments in the field. In particular, the al-Nujaba movement is one of the main battalions of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq and Syria and plays an important role in operations.”

The commander of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces added, “This movement has inflicted great damage on the enemies and since the occupation of Iraq by the United States. It has carried out about 7,000 operations against the occupiers, including targeting their vehicles and directly targeting the American forces.”

He noted that after the American occupation, this movement has played a prominent role in confronting Daesh elements and has achieved great victories in the Iraqi scene and said, “al-Nujaba has always been a part of the Islamic Resistance Axis, justice and the struggle against the arrogant powers.”

Asked about the movement’s stance on the execution of Shaykh Nimr Baqir al-Nimr, Hujjat al-Islam al-Ka’bi said, “Everything that the House of Saud is doing today is a proof of their defeat in Syria and Yemen. The Saudi regime was established by the British from the very beginning and is based on crime, blood and murder. The House of Saud’s crimes are innumerable. They besieged Makkah and killed its inhabitants and destroyed their tribes and today their crimes are completed with the execution of Shaykh al-Nimr, and his blood will cover the House of Saud and cause their decline.”

Referring to the movement’s response to the Saudi criminal execution of Shaykh al-Nimr, His Eminence said, “The response to this crime will be in Saudi Arabia itself and we are capable of what we say.”‎

He spoke about the movement’s stance on the presence of Turkish forces in northern Iraq, saying, “We are telling the Israeli toy in Turkey, which is the government of the Islamic Brotherhood, that we will not ignore the violation of Iraqi sovereignty.”

Hujjat al-Islam al-Ka’bi also referred to the intelligence order issued by Saudi Arabia to Nigeria to attack the country’s Shi’ahs, saying, “This is due to the House of Saud’s grief over being defeated by Yemen. One-third of the Saudi army has been destroyed in Yemen and other affiliated groups such as Ahrar al-Sham and the al-Nusrah Front have suffered heavy casualties.”

Noting that Iraq has become a strategic power today, the Iraqi scholar added, “The Popular Mobilization Forces have formed this power.”

He emphasized that this is one of the Islamic Resistance groups formed during the American occupation of Iraq and fought against the occupiers, he added, “We were one of the groups that forced the United States to sign an agreement to leave Iraq and when we promise to respond to Saudi Arabia and Turkey, it is from the same position that their master humiliated them in Iraq. The terrorists who are fighting today are nothing but fighters of the arrogant powers.”

Hujjat al-Islam al-Ka’bi also referred to the capabilities of the Popular Mobilization Forces, saying, “They have factories that supply their weapons. Their method in the fight against terrorism is their own method.”

Asked what al-Nujaba’s response would be, His Eminence said, “Our response is military and inside Saudi Arabia but I will not mention the details of the response due to security issues.”

In introducing al-Nujaba, he said, “Each group has its own characteristics. The Popular Mobilization Forces consists of a number of battalions that follow the operations in a unified manner. al-Nujaba has two divisions and both are active. We have been blacklisted since the occupation of Iraq and we are not afraid if they take action against us. We are on the Islamic Resistance Axis.”

Hujjat al-Islam al-Ka’bi also referred to the crimes of the House of Saud and added, “The House of Saud’s crimes are numerous, including in Iraq, Syria and Nigeria. Much aid to terrorists comes from Saudi Arabia, even American BGM-71 TOW missiles come from Saudi Arabia. Many Daesh vehicles also come from Saudi Arabia. We will respond to the crimes of Saudi Arabia even with a small operation. Saudi Arabia is acting on behalf of the United States and in line with the American plans in the region.”

Regarding the actions of the al-Nujaba movement in Syria, the commander of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces said, “al-Nujaba is one of the resistance groups that, in addition to having two divisions in Iraq, also manages one division in Syria. In addition to military affairs, this movement has cultural and social institutions. These activities take place in all Iraqi cities.”

He continued, “The military branch of al-Nujaba in Iraq and Syria manages different divisions. One of them is the 30th Division, most of which are Sunni. The 30th Division and the 12th Division are active in Iraq, each with 3,000 troops. In Syria, there is Lashkar-e Ammar Yaser, which operates in the area around ​​the Holy Shrine of Lady Zaynab and works with Hezbollah.”

Hujjat al-Islam al-Ka’bi added, “The liberation of the Hamah-Aleppo Road is one of the actions of this movement. al-Nujaba played a role in the operation to break the siege of al-Fu’ah and Kafriya, which had been completely besieged for nine months. Their water and electricity were cut off and they were under a brutal siege. There, children and women were killed and died due to illness and lack of medicine. Of course, they are helped by helicopters but the aid sometimes fell into the hands of terrorists.”

His Eminence stated that since the invasion of Iraq by Daesh, al-Nujaba entered the battlefield with the coordination of the Iraqi Prime Minister [Haydar al-Abadi] and secured the northern belt and added, “After the formation of the Popular Mobilization Forces, we created nine barriers in Iraqi cities to fight the invading forces. Following the security crackdown, large-scale operations were launched to liberate Iraq. Our operations are numerous, including operations in the northern Baghdad belt, al-Karmah, Samarra, Fallujah and Bayji. Around Samarra, terrorists used mortars and rockets to threaten the city, which we cleared.”

Referring to the suspension of the Popular Mobilization Forces’ operation in Mosul due to stonewalling by the United States, he said, “The United States insists on striking a balance between Daesh and the Popular Mobilization Forces. They have repeatedly targeted army positions and the Popular Mobilization Forces.”

Elsewhere, Hujjat al-Islam al-Ka’bi noted that some Iraqi and American politicians, whom we call Daesh politicians, are also advocating the division of Iraq and said, “The division of Iraq is dangerous for all Iraqis, including Sunnis and Kurds. In Irbil, the United States is in talks with individuals and groups, including Barzani and some Daesh leaders and Naqshbandi Army-Ba’athists to pursue the issue of Iraq’s partition.”

Asked why the groups that must fight in Iraq are now in Syria, he said, “Iraq and Syria are a united front, and our presence in Syria delayed the entry into Iraq, even before the arrival of Daesh in Iraq. If any other country were Syria, it would collapse against Daesh in a few days, but we resisted. Then, after the conspiracies of politicians in northern Iraq, Daesh came to this region, and today we are fighting in both Syria and Iraq.”
