The New York Times reported that the announcement by the Iraqi forces to restore the city of Mosul, from the control of a preacher, "does not mean the end of a dashing," asserting that the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq in 2011 opened the way for the existence of a supportive organization.
But the newspaper said in its Monday edition that the restoration of the city of Mosul, which has been under the control of the organization for about three years, is an important and decisive stage in the war on a sympathetic organization.
She wondered how to ensure the defeat of the organization in real, especially in the regions of Iraq and Syria, in light of the political and economic conditions that contributed to the emergence of the organization in 2014, and wondered about the US role in preventing the return of the organization.
"The withdrawal of US forces from Iraq in 2011 opened the way for a supportive organization," she said. "American survival seems necessary to help train Iraqi forces and intelligence, not fighting."
And compares the period after the end of the rule of former President Saddam Hussein, and the post-"urging" in Iraq, considering that "a supportive organization is an alternative to the regime of Saddam Hussein," in reference to the change in security conditions after the elimination of the regime of the latter.
"Fifteen years have passed since the overthrow of Saddam Hussein by US forces, and then the hardest question remains: what will be our responsibility after that?"
"The euphoria of victory over the organization's strongholds in Mosul will extend to the administration of US President Donald Trump," the newspaper said, expressing the belief that the White House had not planned for a post-Saddam era.
Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi announced on Sunday the victory of his forces to organize a rally in the city of Mosul after eight months of fighting.
The most important and urgent demand in the next phase is the return of more than 670,000 Iraqis to their forcibly displaced towns and the reconstruction of what has been destroyed.
In this regard, the paper says an international coalition of 68 countries led by the United States of America to fight the organization is calling, pledged from the outset to raise funds for the reconstruction of Mosul through the United Nations.
With regard to the biggest challenge in Iraq and Syria, it is the Sunni Arabs (25 million) who reject their governments, which means the continuation of the persecution and prosecution against them;
"There are no signs of ending the sectarian conflict that has spawned in Iraq, especially as Sunni Muslims continue to be persecuted in Syria and Iraq," she said.
The newspaper believes that the role of US diplomacy is in this regard, saying that "Iraq is not subject to the dictates of Washington as a sovereign state, but America can stimulate the Iraqis and help them to move in the right direction, including the support of the current Prime Minister Haider Abadi."
The American newspaper explains its role in supporting Abadi by granting the Iraqi provinces a federal provision of materials and services and regulating the lives of the Iraqi people, arguing that it is necessary to "convince the Sunnis in Iraq that their future with the Iraqi state and not the terrorist organization is encouraging."
It called on the Iraqi government to start "activating the popular mobilization law and putting its factions under the control of the Iraqi state, while staying away from politics and Sunni areas." The Trump administration also called for pressure on "Iraq's neighbors to strengthen relations with him."
Among the obstacles to the stability of Iraq, the newspaper considered that the so-called Kurdish ambitions are another obstacle to achieving stability on Iraqi territory, especially with the invitation of Kurdistan Regional President Massoud Barzani to a referendum on the independence of the region in September.
Barzani's announcement comes after the control of Kurdish units on large parts of the disputed areas between Baghdad and Erbil, northern Iraq, with signs of dissatisfaction with Ankara and Tehran on the move to hold the referendum as an idea.
Barzani announced last week, a referendum on secession from Iraq, stressing that the decision is "irreversible." Ended 29 / Mh
