Tishwash:  Al-Sudani: Iraq today does not need foreign combat forces

The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces , Mr. Muhammad Shayaa Al-Sudani, meets with the leaders of the ranks and commanders of our armed forces who participated in the battles to liberate Nineveh and victory over ISIS

A number of commanders and commanders of our heroic armed forces who participated in achieving victory over the terrorist gangs of ISIS, and liberating Nineveh Governorate, which fell under the domination of the dark organization.

His Excellency praised the performance of the heroic men, from the various ranks of our armed forces and security forces, who sacrificed their lives cheaply for the sake of liberating the homeland, and preserving the constitutional and democratic gains that were achieved in the new Iraq, recalling, in the first place, the sacrifice of our righteous martyrs in order to achieve victory.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces reaffirmed the Armed Forces' commitment to their professional, constitutional and legal path, within the process of development, consolidation of security and civil peace, and the protection of a decent life for all our Iraqi people throughout the country.

The following are the highlights of his speech during the meeting

: The liberation of Mosul was one of the important battles, at a time when everyone expected that the matter would be settled in favor of the mythical state and the end of the Iraqi state.

? The whole world is indebted to the sacrifices of the Iraqis in that battle, because the ISIS gang did not only target Iraq, but it was a bigger conspiracy to target the countries of the region.

? The deviant ideology of ISIS, which was planned in closed circles, was intended to prevail in the region.

? The standing of the religious authority represented by His Eminence, the Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Ali al-Sistani, may his shadow last, and the sacrifices of the Iraqis are what thwarted the plot of ISIS.

? We have the right to be proud of the sacrifices of all Iraqis that thwarted the ISIS plot.

? We remember with honor and respect all the martyrs, starting with the martyrs, the leaders of victory.

? Our battle with this terrorist group was a battle between truth and falsehood, and here we remember the saying of the Commander of the Faithful (know the truth and know its people) and the world knew that the Iraqis are the truth because ISIS is the absolute falsehood.

We have to preserve the work of the security establishment and its professional path in accordance with the law and the constitution, which is a commitment of all political forces, and within the political agreement under which this government was formed, and voted on by the House of Representatives.

?Iraq today does not need foreign combat forces, and we are conducting advanced dialogues in order to determine the form of future relationship and cooperation with the international coalition

? After the liberation battles, Iraqis became more united than ever, after sectarian violence and division prevailed after years of change.

? All Iraqis fought in one trench from all nationalities, religions, sects and components.

? We must review all plans and preparations and remain at this level of readiness required for any movement that the terrorist organization may resort to, which is trying to restore life to its ranks.

? Today we are facing a battle of stability, development and prosperity, which is not an easy task.

? I recommend to you the families of the martyrs, and strive to follow up on their affairs, which is a legitimate and moral task, and an important message to all officials, starting with the speaker.

? I recommend to you the associate, for the smallest military rank is the most important stone in the security establishment, and it is an important prelude to achieving victory and sustaining security.

? Sustainability of security and stability are political and social goals for the citizen and the government.

? Construction and development need to maintain stability and spread the law, which is the environment that citizens and state institutions expect to implement plans and policies in the field of development and services.

? During this period, we need to train and update all means of confrontation at various levels.
