Secretary-General of al-Nujaba in a meeting with the Dean of Islamic Ma’aref University:

The Supreme Leader’s message was a point of hope in the war

 

Hujjat al-Islam al-Ka’bi said, “When the houses of the Sunni people of Syria were liberated with the help of Iranian forces, the Sunni brothers wrote ‘Labbayk Ya Khamenei’ on the walls of their houses, indicating that they followed the leadership of Ayatollah Khamenei.”

 

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 met with Hujjat al-Islam Dr. Ruhollah Shaker, the dean of Islamic Ma’aref University ‎in Qom, on January 10, 2016.

In this meeting, Hujjat al-Islam al-Ka’bi said, “The news and events in Iraq and Syria must be told to the scholars and the authorities in order that they become more familiar with the events in these areas.”

His Eminence said, “Considering the difficulty of working in the war zones and the power that Daesh has in various areas, we fought them and with the hope of God and with the Husayni spirit, victories have been won by the Islamic Resistance.”

He noted that we are facing 120 countries in this war and added, “We have recently shown the world that not only can we resist, but we can also achieve victories.”

Referring to the events in Syria, Hujjat al-Islam al-Ka’bi stated, “The situation in Syria and Iraq is completely different and the situation in Syria is better than in Iraq, the United States is not present in Syria and the Syrian government has been successful in resisting so far but unfortunately the United States is sabotaging Iraq.”

The senior commander of Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces added, “The goals of the West and Turkey are clear. It is such that Takfiri groups and Daesh, with the support of the United States and Arab countries, as well as Turkey, have been formed to oppose the Islamic Resistance Axis, which has caused insecurity in these areas.”

He added, “The war in Syria has been prolonged and the war has been going on in Syria for more than four years but the Syrian government has been able to resist despite the pressure of the West and the Arab countries and the presence of Takfiri groups.”

Hujjat al-Islam al-Ka’bi stated, “The events and issues in Syria demonstrate the inequality of the war, but the Syrian government has resisted and it gives us hope that we can also resist.”

The secretary-general of al-Nujaba noted that some areas have been occupied by Takfiri forces but that there have been widespread recent victories with the help of the Syrian people, as well as the government and people of Iran and other Muslim countries.

Pointing out that the presence of General Haj Qasem Soleymani has led to good victories in the regions, he said, “The Arab zeal and the Husayni spirit have caused Shi’ahs from all over the world to come to Syria and fight and not only the Shi’ahs but also a large number of Sunni forces have stood up and resisted against the Takfiris.”

Hujjat al-Islam al-Ka’bi stated the Sunni people of Syria and Iraq are committed to the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution (Ayatollah Khamenei) and said, “When the houses of the Sunni people of Syria were liberated with the help of Iranian forces, the Sunni brothers wrote ‘Labbayk Ya Khamenei’ [Here I Am (At Your Service), Oh Khamenei] on the walls of their houses, indicating that they followed the leadership of Ayatollah Khamenei.”

His Eminence described the role of the United Nations in the besieged areas of Iraq and Syria as “negative” and said, “The activities of the United Nations in Syria and Iraq are in the interest of Takfiri groups and United States forces in these areas are working for the interests of the al-Nusrah Front and Ahrar al-Sham.”

He said, “At the beginning of the war, we were disappointed because of the limited facilities we had and the size of the areas that were in the hands of Takfiri groups but with the message of the Supreme Leader who stated the defeat of the siege on Shi’ah areas and the presence of General Soleymani, we were hopeful and determined to liberate these areas.”

Hujjat al-Islam al-Ka’bi added, “The operation started on the first of Muharram this year and we achieved some victories and one-third of the besieged areas were liberated in a short time. We were able to liberate important areas from occupation by the enemies and achieved great victories, which was a sign of the special attention of the Imam of the Age [Imam al-Mahdi].”

The secretary-general of al-Nujaba stressed, “During this time, we carried out a large operation in Iraq. When Daesh forces reached near Baghdad, the United States ostensibly formed a coalition against Daesh, but in fact, it was operating in line with Takfiri groups.”

He added, “Some Iraqi political forces think of Daesh and support Daesh politically, some of them even support the plan to divide Iraq and cooperate with Daesh.”

Hujjat al-Islam al-Ka’bi referred to the lies of the Western media, “A city like Ramadi was not liberated but handed over to Daesh by the forces inside the city, while it was presented in the media as a great victory.”

In conclusion, he said, “What happened in Ramadi was not in fact, the liberation of Ramadi. Some political forces surrendered Ramadi to Daesh and are now seeking to retake Ramadi and achieve the partition of Iraq.”
