al-Kaabi on al-Kawthar TV:

The secretary-general of al-Nujaba: Operation Mosul is a battle with “Iraqi political Daesh”

 

Hujjat al-Islam al-Kaabi stated, “The ‘political Daesh’ are some Iraqi politicians who serve Daesh with their political positions.”

 

According to the Communication and Media Affairs Centre of al-‎Nujaba in Iran‎, Hujjat al-Islam Akram al-Kaabi, the secretary-general of al-Nujaba Islamic Resistance Movement, stated last night on Saturday, August 27, 2016, on the live program “Hot Issue” on al-Kawthar TV, “The fighters of al-Nujaba have been involved in most of the operations against Daesh in Iraq in recent years and the first presence of these forces was in the areas around Baghdad, especially al-Naba’i.”

His Eminence continued, “Our fighters were also present in the operation to liberate the roads of Samarra, Bayji and Tikrit and now they are stationed in the Makhoul Mountains. They are also in the security belt around the city of Karbala.”

He stressed on the operation to liberate the city of Mosul and said, “The operation to liberate Mosul is not only a battle with Daesh but rather also a battle with the United States because the United States is present around the city.”

The senior commander of Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces described the Popular Mobilization Forces as having the will and experience of fighting against the American forces and said, “In the past, these fighters drove the occupiers out of Iraq and the Popular Mobilization Forces have the ability to defeat Daesh or any other terrorist group.”

Hujjat al-Islam al-Kaabi pointed out, “The operation to liberate the city of Mosul is also a battle against the ‘political Daesh,’ because these people seek to create ethnic regions in Iraq. On the other hand, this operation is a battle with Barzani, who seeks to form a pro-Israel government in northern Iraq.”

The senior commander of Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces stated, “The American-owned media, after the victories of the Popular Mobilization Forces in these cities, spoke about the mistreatment of these fighters by the people, while the Popular Mobilization Forces treated the people humanely and the Popular Mobilization Forces drove people out of the conflict zones even at the cost of martyrdom.”

He added, “In the meantime, the forces of Iran’s Quds Force also consulted us in the battles and the blood of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in Iraq and Syria was mixed with the blood of the Iraqi and Syrian fighters.”

The secretary-general of Iraq’s al-Nujaba Islamic Resistance Movement stressed that the fighters of the Popular Mobilization Forces will complete the operation to liberate the areas in a few days and said, “But some governments and political Daesh accuse the Popular Mobilization Forces of war crimes. For this reason, sometimes the operation of the Popular Mobilization Forces is stopped to respond to the accusations of the media and then the operation is resumed.”

Explaining the term “political Daesh” in Iraq, Hujjat al-Islam al-Kaabi said, “By ‘political Daesh,’ we mean some Iraqi politicians who serve Daesh with their political positions. These people are supported by the governments that help Daesh and react negatively to the operation of the Popular Mobilization Forces against Daesh.”

In another section, he referred to the Americans’ strong opposition to the Popular Mobilization Forces and said, “The United States does not want the Popular Mobilization Forces to take part in the operation to liberate Mosul and eyewitnesses have seen many times that American planes are helping Daesh.”

Regarding the presence of terrorist groups in Syria, the secretary-general of the al-Nujaba Islamic Resistance Movement said, “In Syria, the names of terrorist groups may be different but the methods and thoughts of these groups are the same. Even a group like the Free Syrian Army, which is said to be secular, provokes sectarianism. All these groups engage in slaughtering and genocide and we consider all these groups as terrorists.”

Hujjat al-Islam al-Kaabi added, “Within al-Nujaba, there are now Sunni battalions in Tikrit and al-Anbar governorate that are fighting alongside the al-Nujaba fighters against Daesh but with the presence of moderate Sunni clerics, we can destroy Daesh’s ideological base in Iraq.”

At the end of his address to the leaders of Daesh, he emphasized, “We follow the path of the Holy Prophet and the Ahl al-Bayt. You Daesh destroyed Islam but we represent the true Islam. You have failed throughout history but we have been victorious throughout history and we will be victorious again.”
