US and Turkish forces withdraw as Iraqi militias demand weapon controls
The article focused on the conditions set by the Iraqi Jaysh Sayed al-Shuhada, led by Abu Alaa Al-Walaji, for implementing the process of organizing armed factions' weapons and hand them over to the state. The militias indicated that their stance is linked to their position on the issue of weapons and include several demands: the withdrawal of American forces from Iraq, the exit of Turkish troops, and the activation of the government's control over the borders and airspace. They clarified that weapon regulation is tied to the country’s higher interests and national security, and that the resistance considers the state its backbone. They emphasized that carrying weapons is justified by circumstances and necessities dictated by security challenges. The militias set a final deadline for weapons handover on September 21, coinciding with the withdrawal of the international coalition forces. The conditions include respecting Iraq's sovereignty, ensuring the rights of Popular Mobilization factions, controlling the borders and airspace, and removing foreign fighters, especially from the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and Iranian opposition groups. Additionally, they called for the liberation of the political and economic decision-making from foreign influence. These conditions represent a significant political and security test, especially as the deadline for weapons handover and the implementation of foreign troop withdrawal approaches, within a context that links the weapons issue to several other sovereignty-related matters in Iraq.
