KSS leader ties sovereignty to economic independence

WHAT HAPPENED

On 15 August 2026 Al-Nujaba TV (Nujaba — official) first aired Jumaa al-Atwani saying whoever praises sovereignty while standing with the American front should be frank, then carried a post attributed to Abu Alaa al-Walai (KSS) saying sovereignty is not complete through control of land alone but through political, economic and financial decision-making away from any external power. The on-screen graphic on the Walai post names American economic domination and control of Iraqi funds. Neither item is issued in the name of Nujaba or of Akram al-Kaabi.

    Jumaa al-Atwani: Whoever sings of sovereignty while he is with the American front should be frank.

    Sovereignty is not complete through control of territory alone, but through possessing political, economic and financial decision-making away from the domination of any external power. One of the clearest faces of Iraq’s incomplete sovereignty is America’s economic domination over it and its occupation and control of its funds.

    السيادة لا تكتمل بالسيطرة على الأرض وحدها، بل بامتلاك القرار السياسي والاقتصادي والمالي بعيدًا عن هيمنة ايِّ قوةٍ خارجية. إنّ من أوضح أوجه السيادة المنقوصة للعراق هو هيمنة أمريكا عليه اقتصاديًا واحتلالها وسيطرتها على امواله

WHY IT MATTERS

The two items on the same official channel align a KSS leader and a studio guest on an America-named sovereignty test, a comparison of host and guest rather than a Nujaba claim.
