WHAT HAPPENED

On 21 September, University of Baghdad political-science professor Ahmad al-Mayali, speaking on Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official), said the PMF institution should be separated from political work. He said PMF chairman Faleh al-Fayyad combined political activity with military leadership, warned that personal gains should not affect PMF fighters’ lives and said complete U.S. withdrawal from Iraq and the Kurdistan Region was unlikely.

“The PMF institution should be separated from political work; Faleh al-Fayyad combines political work with the PMF’s military leadership; personal gains should not affect people’s lives; he ruled out a complete U.S. withdrawal from Iraq and the Kurdistan Region.”
يجب فصل مؤسسة الحشد الشعبي عن العمل السياسي؛ فالح الفياض يدمج بين العمل السياسي والقيادة العسكرية للحشد؛ المكاسب الشخصية يجب ألا تؤثر في أرواح الناس... استبعد الانسحاب التام للقوات الأميركية من العراق وإقليم كردستان.
