Iraqi sovereignty is in jeopardy
Saifaldeen N. Aloakidi
The recent events and armed confrontations that took place in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, in aug 30 night 2022 , are alarming and make it clear to everyone who is the force that controls the state and the government, and removes masks from the falseness of sovereignty and the falseness of the Military formations that are supposed to have been equipped, trained, and entrusted with the task of protecting the Green Zone, which is the fortified area that includes headquarters and housing The three authorities and government headquarters in addition to the area of international embassies, the American embassy and the headquarters of the representation of the Secretary-General of the United Nations.
In order to understand this area or reserve, we must first define its geography. It is a piece of land with a total area of 3.9 square miles, equivalent to (2,496) acres, or around one-third of the area of Fort Worth Airport in Dallas, Texas. This geographical area includes the most important and dangerous government headquarters and presidential buildings, as well as The residential complexes inhabited by all Iraqi officials and
leaders, the international complex that houses the embassies, is also within this supposedly fortified area. The task of protecting this area is carried out by the special division of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, which is an infantry division equipped, trained and integrated with weapons, plus a regiment from Kurd bishmarka to protect the Presidency of the Republic, a brigade from the Counter-Terrorism Service, to which a brigade from the Popular Mobilization is added to protect the Popular Mobilization Authority. And the huge system of sensors covers every foot inside that area , cameras and thermal cameras. Is this the only forces , answer No. There is also a security companies that protects and transports some officials and ambassadors and more than 1,000 security and protection guards from various intelligence agencies and global security companies.
During the past month, all these forces failed to carry out their mission to prevent the demonstrators from reaching the important government headquarters, so they were able to occupy the parliament building and control it and all documents and archives, and to sit inside and prevent the convening of any
parliamentary session.they entered the presidential palace , and then entering the headquarters of the Federal Supreme Court building, entering its headquarters and tampering with its documents, and the last thing that happened is the seizure of the Prime Minister’s building and tampering with its contents and documents. All these breakthroughs were carried out by demonstrators from a well-known political party, the Sadrist movement led by Muqtada al-Sadr, amid suspicious indifference to the defending forces and the silence of the Prime Minister and the blindness of what is happening, but this conflict developed rapidly, so militias linked to Iran entered the government area with armed columns and clashed with the demonstrators from Muqtada's followers, quickly turned from unarmed peaceful demonstrators to companies and battalions armed with heavy weapons, medium machine guns and armored vehicles. The battle lasted a whole night, during which nearly 100 people were killed and twice as many wounded.
The most important question here is will we find someone who talks about sovereignty in Iraq? Is there any prestige and respect left for the state ? All of these events and the
largest American embassy in the world, ¼ a mile from the scene of the clashes, was satisfied with withdrawing to Kurdistan to look for a safe place. We fear that the Tripoli scenario will be repeated in the future when the American ambassador was killed inside the embassy building, or that the embassy staff sought refuge and sought protection from the nearby Iranian embassy.
The government was diplomatically and politically unable to persuade the demonstrators not to approach the Green Zone, and its forces were unable to defend security, and all those cameras were unable to detect who carried out executions inside the presidential palace grounds. Iraqi army is an army of parties, and the militias linked to Iran are the real state above the state of Iraq.
