Iraq speeds up coalition withdrawal for new security phase
The spokesperson for the Commander-in-Chief of the Iraqi Armed Forces, Saif Numan, confirmed that the process of withdrawing the international coalition forces from Iraq is proceeding rapidly and in accordance with the scheduled timelines, with the goal of completing it by September 30, 2024. The withdrawing forces include, in particular, the German forces, which have completed their withdrawal from Erbil. These forces had focused on security and military training, as well as aerial reconnaissance missions since the coalition was formed in 2014 to combat ISIS. He also announced the formation of a committee to establish mechanisms outlining the nature of future relations with coalition countries, emphasizing that cooperation in intelligence and arms remains ongoing. These activities are part of a transitional plan between Iraq and the United States to end the coalition's military missions in Iraq by September 2025, with operations continuing in Syria until 2026, depending on field circumstances and bilateral consultations.
