Expert: State weapon control challenges Iraq
The article emphasizes that the restriction of weapons to the state presents a significant challenge in Iraq, especially since armed militias have gained substantial influence within the parliament and the executive branch since 2003 and up to the present. Several militia leaders, such as those from Asaib Ahl al-Haq, operate within government institutions, and the number of militia members in parliament reaches around 100 individuals, some of whom have even touched upon influencing the decisions of the former Prime Minister. The report confirms that these groups are no longer just guardians of weapons but have evolved into entities with economic, security, and political forces, which hampers efforts to disarm them—particularly with the potential withdrawal of international forces from Iraq scheduled for September 30.
