An ambiguous distance between the Sudanese and the anti-American forces in Iraq

January 15, 2023

Baghdad / Obelisk: Features of a dispute emerge between the government of al-Sudani and the Shiite parties that support him over the position on the American presence in Iraq, while Ali al-Ghanmi, a member of the political bureau in the Euphrates Movement led by Prime Minister Muhammad al-Sudani, talks regarding the differences within the coordination framework or the state administration coalition regarding the relationship With the United States, according to his statements published in local media.

Al-Ghanimi, a former deputy, said that some political parties – he did not name them – have reservations regarding the relationship with Washington because of the airport incident.

Parliament’s decision to remove US forces from the country is still not activated, at a time when positions indicate that the Sudanese government is not enthusiastic regarding the decision at the level desired by the factions, while Al-Sudani said during his visit to Berlin that Iraq does not need combat forces and that the advisors of the international coalition are being studied. Which implies the lack of a complete evacuation of the forces, which is a matter that arouses the ire of the forces equivalent to the Americans in Iraq.

It is hoped that Al-Sudani’s protocol visit to Washington will discuss the common security file between Baghdad and Washington, especially with the presence of an escalation by the armed factions once morest the American presence.

Writer Salim al-Hassani notes that on the day of the funeral of the victims of the airport assassination, one of the leaders stood weeping over the coffin of the martyr Abu Mahdi, and swore saying: (The price of your pure blood will be the expulsion of foreign forces from Iraq). Political leaders will keep the forces of American friends.

The leader of the Sayyid al-Shuhada Brigades, Abbas al-Zaidi, revealed the resistance’s dissatisfaction with the actions of the government of Muhammad Shia al-Sudani.

Al-Sudani had stressed the importance of continuing joint work, especially in the field of advising and training the Iraqi forces, which are fighting the confrontation once morest terrorism effectively and professionally.

Al-Zaidi told Al-Masalla: We reject the intervention of the US embassy in the Iraqi issue, warning once morest complete submission to the occupation, as there is no specific ceiling for the goals and aggressive projects of the occupation in Iraq or the region across Iraq.

A member of the House of Representatives, Jassim Al-Moussawi, directed a request to Parliament regarding the presence of foreign forces on Iraqi soil, and while he confirmed that the US forces had caused major violations to the country, he considered Washington’s allegations of providing aid to Iraq as “false.”

Maqarat expects that the current government is aware of the impact of the escalation on the internal political and economic situation, and that it does not want the relationship with Washington to deteriorate.

It is possible that the media of the resistance factions, and the analysts, activists, and media advocates for it will resort to a campaign once morest the American presence, far from the fact that the framework and the government do not want escalation.

And the leader in the framework, Mahmoud Al-Hayani, considered the talk regarding the withdrawal of US forces from Iraq unreal, and just a media talk.

Writer Ahmed Abdel-Sada says on Twitter: We can see a contradiction between the raised slogan and the practical application, although this contradiction falls within the political hypocrisy, but not to the extent that you build your political project and your popular legitimacy on the slogan of removing the American forces from Iraq and avenging the blood of the leaders of victory, then suddenly abandoning it. This slogan when you come to power.

In light of the security calm during the Sudanese era until now, it is not known whether it was a temporary truce decision, or a framework government decision to coexist permanently with the American presence in Iraq.
