Iraq’s Shia militia isolate Mosul and Raqqa

Baxtiyar Goran Baxtiyar Goran Saturday, 19 November 2016 0 comments

Hewlêr, Kurdistan Region (Kurdistan24) – The Iraqi Shia militias on Saturday claimed the road between Iraq’s Tal Afar and Syria had been blocked from Islamic State (IS) movements.

In a statement on the weekend, Shia militia Hashd al-Shaabi announced they were able to isolate the city of Tal Afar, west of Mosul, from IS-controlled areas in Syria after regulating most of the main roads between Iraq and Syria.

“The Hashd al-Shaabi command announces that its forces have managed to fully isolate Tal Afar from Syria where most of the major supply routes linking Mosul to Syria have been cut,” the statement read.

On Nov. 16, the Shia militias took control of the Tal Afar airport 10 kilometers south of the IS-held city.

The statement added Hashd al-Shaabi’s engineering teams were now clearing the airport from the mines and explosives planted by IS extremists.

On Thursday, Hadi al-Amri, leader of the al-Badr units, a faction of the Hashd al-Shaabi militias, said the Tal Afar airport would be used as a base to retake the other areas west of Mosul, especially the Iraqi-Syrian border.

On Oct. 17, the Kurdistan Region Peshmerga and Iraqi security forces launched the operation to retake Mosul from IS insurgents.

Since then, several areas surrounding Mosul and several neighborhoods inside the city have been liberated.

On Nov. 16, IS revealed through its Amaq News Agency the self-declared caliphate had lost territory inside the city of Mosul due to the advance of Iraqi security forces.

The announcement was the first time the extremist group had admitted defeat.

Iraq's parliament passes law legalising Shia militias

Quote:
 
Iraqi Sunnis say law was proof of Shia "dictatorship" but Prime Minister Abadi says force will defend "all Iraqis".

The Iraqi parliament has passed a bill recognising the Shia militia fighters, the Popular Mobilisation Forces, as a government entity operating alongside the military.

The bill passed on Saturday will see the establishment of the Popular Mobilisation Forces Commission, which critics said could only widen sectarian divisions in the war-torn country.

Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi welcomed the legislation, which was supported by 208 of the parliament's 327 members, saying the newly-formed force "will represent and defend all Iraqis wherever they are."

Shiite cleric calls for mending ties between Baghdad and Hewlêr

By Rudaw 15 hours ago

Hewlêr, Kurdistan Region — Influential Iraqi politician and Shiite cleric Ammar Hakim has called on renewed relations between the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and Baghdad as preparations are underway for a referendum on Kurdistan independence before the end of this year.

Speaking at a gathering, Hakim said Erbil-Baghdad relations should be “more realistic and patriotic where the dignity of the Iraqi central government and the rights of the Kurdistan Region are preserved.”

Hakim is the leader of the Islamic Supreme Council in Iraq and has in the past tried to broker a deal between the KRG and Baghdad over the many lingering disputes between the two administrations.

“The Iraqi people in Kurdistan Region have been suffering from the freezing of their salaries, the reduction of (the Iraqi government’s) assistance and support, financial barriers and internal issues,” Hakim told his followers Wednesday, calling for what he described as national reconciliation.

In 2014, after years of disputes and negotiations, Baghdad decided to withhold Kurdistan Region’s share of the Iraqi budget which almost immediately sent the Kurdish economy into recession amid a war with ISIS and plummeting prices of oil, the main source of revenue for the Kurdish government.

“Respect your historical responsibilities and avoid unpatriotic and unplanned decisions. Restore the relations between Hewlêr and Baghdad and the provinces based upon a federal, free and democratic Iraq,” Hakim added.

If Iran and its proxies control these three Syrian cities, Iran will have achieved its strategic goal of creating a topologic unbroken ground corridor from Iran through Iraq, through Syria, through Lebanon to the Mediterranean Sea. Therefore, next month’s military victors in the battle for this strategic triangle will dictate decades of future conflict, or future peace in the Middle East and the world.
Iranian Shiites to win the At-Tanf/Abu Kamal/Ar Rusafah Triangle, to win Syria, and become the unstoppable Shiite hegemon?

The fight is over this ^^
Syrian Army Calls US Bluff: Advance Towards Iraq Border Continues

US military presence in Syria is plainly illegal, and arguably even unconstitutional.

While there are loopholes which allow for limited US military operations without a formal declaration of war, the president cannot initiate a war without congressional approval. But the attack on pro-government forces in southeast Syria on Thursday was just that—an act of war.

This attack was not intended to deter the Syrian Arab Army from advancing; the US knows that its proxy forces and mercenaries are unable to halt the Syrian Army and its allies as they push towards the border. In order to prevent Syria from reclaiming its own territory, the US would need to launch a direct military intervention.

Of course, Washington would need a pretext for doing so.

Do you see where this is going?

Thursday's attack was a provocation—nothing more. Washington is eager to manufacture a pretext to further increase its presence in Syria.

So it's no surprise that the Syrian command and its allies are playing their cards in a calm and calculated way. A military response to Thursday's attack would have been exactly what Washington wanted and needed.

It's hard to say what will come next, but a formation of Syrian troops is approximately 15km from Al-Tanaf, keeping in mind that Thursday's strike took place about 20km away; in other words, the provocation failed to deter the SAA and its allies from advancing.

Not every loud statement is a true statement, but almost every silent move is a valid one.

More will be revealed in the coming days; Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov made it clear that the US strike against the Syrian Arab Army was a "violation of Syria's sovereignty". That may sound like a wimpy response—but don't be so sure.
Lavrov's statement is a reflection of Russian military policy. A Russian Air Force Su-30 was spotted over As-Suwayda province; most likely it was covering the advancing Syrian troops towards Al Tanaf from any foolish hostility.

Turkey boycotts US ambassador as row escalates

Hewlêr, Kurdistan Region – Turkey has announced a boycott of the US ambassador to Ankara as the diplomatic row between the two nations escalates.

Ambassador John Bass is due to leave Turkey within a matter of days having been recently named ambassador to Afghanistan, but the Turkish president has officially sidelined him anyway.

“We have not agreed and are not agreeing to this ambassador making farewell visits with ministers, the parliament speaker and myself,” President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said at a news conference in Belgrade.

“We do not see him as the representative of the United States in Turkey,” he added.

Erdogan accused Bass of allowing “agents” to infiltrate the US missions.

The spat began last week when Turkey arrested a Turkish national employed at the US consulate in Istanbul on allegations of terrorism and ties to the groups accused of orchestrating last years failed coup, the Gulen Movement.

The US responded on Sunday, announcing the suspension of non-immigrant visa services in Turkey, citing concerns about the security of the staff at its missions.

Within minutes, Turkey’s embassy in Washington issued a similar suspension of visa services in the US.

On Monday, Turkish authorities issued a summons for another employee of the US Istanbul consulate while officials called on the US to end the suspension.

Ambassador Bass issued a statement Monday evening, explaining the move. He said they were concerned that the purpose of arresting their employee was to “disrupt the long-standing cooperation between Turkey and the United States,” thereby putting their staff and facilities at risk. The job of the employee arrested was “strengthening law enforcement cooperation” between their two countries, Bass explained.

Turkish business leaders have urged a quick resolution to the crisis.

“International companies, headquartered in the U.S. and Turkey, want to see a further deepening in bilateral ties between Turkey and the U.S., two key NATO allies, and they make a crucial contribution to boosting these ties through investments. We hope the recent problems will be resolved by diplomacy,” said Ahmet Erdem, president of the International Investors Association (YASED), according to Hurriyet Daily News.

The Pentagon has stated that the row has not affected military operations out of Turkey’s Incirlik airbase, being used by members of the anti-ISIS coalition.
