RNA – The secretary-general of the Iraqi Islamic Resistance group Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba (The Movement of the Party of God’s Nobles), Hujjat al-Islam Akram al-Ka’bi, gave an interview to the al-Kawthar TV channel on August 28th in which he stated, “al-Nujaba soldiers have fought in the majority of the operations in Iraq against Daesh and for the first time they were present in the al-Naba’i area.”
Hujjat al-Islam Akram added, “Our forces were also present in the liberation operation of the roads of Samarra, Bayji, and Tikrit and currently are based in Makhoul Mountains. They are also present in the security belt around Karbala.”
Regarding the operation to liberate Mosul he stressed, “The Mosul operation is not merely a battle against Daesh. It is, however, a fight with the United States as well because their forces are present in the surroundings of this city too.”
The chief commander of the Popular Mobilization Forces of Iraq called their forces “soldiers with will power” who have the experience of fighting American forces and added, “These soldiers have driven occupation forces out in the past and are capable of defeating Daesh or any other terrorist group.”
He then pointed out: “The operation to liberate Mosul is a battle with political Daesh terrorists too for these people are looking for disintegration of Iraq. On the other hand, it is a battle with Masoud Barzani, the president of Iraqi Kurdistan, since he is planning to create an Israel-supporting government.”
He clarified, “The mainstream American media tried to destroy the image of the Popular Mobilization Forces by saying that they have misbehaved in the cities they have freed. However, these forces have not only behaved most humanely with people, but also have sacrificed their own lives to save people from conflict areas.”
He added, “The Iranian Quds Forces have offered us their invaluable consultations on battles. Indeed, they have sacrificed blood alongside Iraqi and Syrian soldiers.”
He added, “Currently there are Sunni battalions in Hezbollah al-Nujaba fighting against Daesh. We can uproot Daesh’s intellectual base in Iraq by the aid of Sunni clergymen.
As his final word he addressed Daesh leaders and said, “We follow the holy prophet Muhammad and his household (Ahlul-Bayt). You degenerates have tried to ruin Islam but we represent true Islam. You have failed in the past and we have succeeded and will do so again.”
