    Washington faces the challenge of eliminating loyalists in Iraq and Syria


    Translated by Hamid Ahmed 

    Despite the announcement by the Iraqi government of the military victory over the organization of the call for the liberation of all land, experts inside and outside the US government warn that a supporter is still considered a deadly force. This was the double suicide bombing that hit Baghdad last week, killing more than 100 people and injuring them. 
    At a time when a caliphate collapsed, the number of actual fighters in Iraq and Syria could have fallen to less than 3,000, but many loyalists remained on the ground. 
    Hassan Hassan, an expert at the Institute for Middle Eastern Studies in America and co-author of The New York Times's New York Times, said that nearly 7,000 pro-regime operatives were still in Iraq and Syria.
    "They are now active as a purely aggressive terrorist organization and not as a traditional fighting unit," Hassan said. "There are still a lot of them in Syria deployed in the areas of Abu Kamal and Deir al-Zour, many of them Iraqis who have fled across the border." 
    Hisham al-Hashemi, an Iraqi government adviser on armed groups, said that while the actual number of fighters ranged from 1,000 to 1,500 militants, the actual number of loyalists in Iraq and Syria is close to 10,000. According to US officials, the number of active militants of the Dahedish organization during its peak was about 45,000 militants in the area where the international coalition was fighting them.
    Since the start of the air strikes on a preacher in Iraq and Syria in 2014, the land occupied by the organization in both countries has shrunk considerably, especially after the liberation of Mosul in July 2017 by the Iraqi forces and the city of Raqqa in Syria in October 2017, He was also deprived of the sources of financial resources he obtained from smuggling oil and taking possession of money. 
    "There is a big difference between a military defeat on the battlefield and its eradication as a terrorist organization," said Daniel Glaser, a former US Treasury secretary for terrorist financing.
    US Defense Secretary James Matisse said in a December statement that "a dangerous succession has ended and was destroyed, but the battle is not yet over," stressing that "there is still a lot of work to be done to prevent the return of the organization to reappear in a way again, The organization may try to return to its inherent terrorist roots, once again exploiting the sectarian differences in Iraq and Syria. " 
    The Pentagon issued the National Defense Strategy on Friday, saying that "terrorism remains a state of affairs despite the elimination of the succession of an effective organization." A day earlier, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said a quick withdrawal from Syria would give militants a chance to return to the scene.
    "We will not be able to commit the same mistakes we made in Iraq when US forces pulled out of it in 2011," al-Taylerson said. "Al-Qaeda returned to Iraq and then turned into another group called Al-Qaeda. "He said. 
    US officials estimate the actual number of militants from the terrorist organization, along with other experts Hassan and al-Hashimi. The latest US estimate of the number of actual militants is that their number is between 3,000 and 1,000, with the number declining rapidly. 
    While American officials estimate the size of the force of the organization of loyalists outside the battlefield in Iraq and Syria between 6000 to 8000 people, a figure close to the number estimated by the expert Hassan, but less than the number of researcher Hashemi of 10,000 million.
    "Now a threat is being turned into another threat because it is being stripped of safe haven, and this threat still exists in Iraq and Syria, but on a smaller scale," Treasury Secretary Glaser said.
