The Lieutenant General Jabar Yawar: “Peshmerga is ready for Mosul liberation, Iraqi Government is not” In an interview with Anadolu agency, the Secretary General the Lieutenant General Jabar Yawar shed on the light on the military situation in the area, in particular the operation of liberating Mosul and preparation and the Peshmerga forces’ agreement with the Iraqi Federal Government. The Lt. Gen. Jabar Yawar talked about the quality of the Peshmerga armament by the US, he also said “The US has a plan to arm two brigades of the Peshmerga forces, in addition to training them and training the Peshmerga forces to how use the military gears like the transportation supplies, vehicles, ambulances and all those gears which are necessary for a brigade will be prepared by the US, those apparatus are being currently transferred to Hewlêr and for now two regiments of these two brigades are under training.” The Ltd. Gen. Jabar Yawar also said during his interview with Anadol agency “on March 8, Training of Peshmerga has been started by the US, which is called skill training, but this training has nothing to do with the process of liberating Mosul, whatever is being published about the preparation of these two brigades in liberating Mosul is far away from reality.” The Ltd. Gen Jabar Yawar also explained accordingly that these two brigades are the infantry brigades 1 and 2 of Kirkuk, which one is located in the axis 4 and the other is in the axis 5 in northwest of the city, they have their duties and have nothing to the process of liberating Mosul. In another question on the allegations about promises to arm the different ethnicities by the US and settling them in their own areas in future, the Ltd. Gen. Jabar Yawar showed his unawareness about that matter and said “We as the Ministry of Peshmerga are not aware of that issue, The Kurdistan Region’s president The acting president Barzani presented a writing to The Ministry of Peshmerga on time to train those who were soldiers in the Iraqi army from Yezidis, Shabaks, Turkmens and Christians, There are two Yezidi regiments, a Kakayi regiment, and some Turkmens and Christians.” In another section of the interview, the Ltd. Gen. Jabar Yawar announced “we as the Kurdistan Peshmerga forces have been ready since 2015, and the commander-in-chief of the Kurdistan Region armed forces The acting president Barzani has confirmed several times that we can prepare all of our forces within two days for the process of Mosul liberation, because our forces are only 30 km away from north, south and central Mosul. Furthermore, most of the Kurdish areas outside of Mosul are under Peshmerga forces’ control such as Shangal[SInjar], Zumar, and also the areas near Bashik , Dibaga, Gwer, the areas by Khadhr. The Secretary General the lieutenant General Jabar Yawar also referred to the primary preparation of the process and said “What has been done by the Iraqi Government so far is the opening of the command headquarter of the forces of liberating Mosul and a cooperating center between the Iraqi Central Government with the US-led coalition allies and the Kurdistan Region. Additionally, the process of transferring the regiment 15 of the Iraqi army to Makhmour has been started during this span, this process will continue, it has not yet ended up in preparation and transferring those forces to those areas.” The Ltd. Gen. Jabar Yawar also revealed in the interview “one of the reasons why Iraqi Government is not ready is the unavailability of a pedestrian route, which this must be opened for those civilians who have stayed in south of Mosul to be able to get out of Mosul, in particular the areas of Heet, Fallujah, Ryadh, Hawija, Shargat Gayara and some other areas that is why the Iraqi Government is not ready for that process.” The Ltd. Gen. Jabar Yawar Manda also stated regarding the forces that are supposed to take part in the process of liberating Mosul “No planes have been derived on how to be participated in the liberation of Mosul”, he presumes that the sides consist of the Peshmerga forces, the Iraqi military forces and the US-led coalition warplanes. http://witebej.com/En/News.aspx?id=12368&MapID=35#.VuPB6Zx97mg |
