WHAT HAPPENED

On 29 September, Sadiqoun deputy parliamentary bloc head Ahmad al-Mousawi, speaking on Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official), said the U.S. departure would end the factions’ rationale for carrying weapons and urged support for the government to become Iraq’s sole decision-maker. Later that evening, Ashab al-Kahf (Ashab al-Kahf — official armed group channel) rejected weapons handover outright. These are positions expressed by a bloc deputy leader and by an armed-group channel, respectively.

    “The U.S. departure will end the factions’ rationale for carrying weapons; the government should be given time and support to become Iraq’s sole decision-maker.”

    الخروج الأميركي سينهي مبرر الفصائل بحمل السلاح؛ يجب منح الحكومة الوقت والدعم حتى تصبح صاحبة القرار الوحيد في العراق

  2. Ashab al-KahfAshab al-Kahf — official armed group channel29 Sept, 23:08

    “Handing over weapons is a fantasy entertained by the weak, the humiliated and servants of the dollar.”

    إن قضية تسليم السلاح أوهامٌ يحلم بها الضعفاء والأذلّاء وعبيد الدولار
