Iraq consolidates factions' weapons under PMU
The Iraqi government has reached a political agreement to disarm armed factions by September 30th. According to the agreement, the factions will transfer their weapons to the "Popular Mobilization Units" (Hashd al-Shabi), which will officially be responsible for collecting, storing, and cataloging the types, quantities, and locations of these weapons. The goal of the agreement is to eliminate weapons outside the control of official institutions, with the threat of legal and security measures being taken against factions that refuse to surrender after the deadline. While some factions, such as the "Peace Brigades" (Sarayat al-Salam) and "Asa'ib Ahl al-Haqq," have expressed willingness to surrender, others, like "Kata'ib Hezballah" and "Harakat al-Nujabah," still refuse to relinquish their arms, justifying their continued possession as "resistance" and opposition to external threats.
