[size=45]The Kurdish regions outside the administration of the Kurdistan Region, or the so-called 'disputed', and covered by Article 140 of the Iraqi constitution, are witnessing a clear increase in the rate of security breaches, which have become almost daily after the events of October 16, 2017 and the withdrawal of the Peshmerga forces that were deployed in the region and controlled it. Security, which caused the creation of vast security vacuums that were exploited by ISIS terrorist elements.[/size]
[size=45]Iraq needs intelligence support from coalition forces[/size]
[size=45]Political analysts believe that Iraq still needs the support of the coalition forces to get rid of ISIS terrorist cells and gangs that launch their attacks on the villages of the "disputed" areas.[/size]
[size=45]Political analyst Abbas Al-Ardawi told (Passnews), "Iraq does not need a combat force from the international coalition, but rather needs intelligence and security support."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Ardawi added, "The terrorist organization ISIS is trying to reposition it in some loopholes to reinforce its presence by setting up fake checkpoints, taking royalties from people, attacking them and kidnapping them."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Ardawi pointed out that "the defect in the disputed areas lies in the lack of security cooperation between Baghdad and Erbil, because the region has security progress in these geographical areas, and there is a prohibition on the return of the Peshmerga to these areas, and therefore terrorist gangs exploit this vacuum."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Ardawi stressed "the necessity of coordination and cooperation between the security services, in addition to activating judicial orders and implementing execution decisions to deliver a message to terrorists that there is no tolerance of the right of those who commit terrorist crimes."[/size]
[size=45]Collusion between Iran and terrorist forces[/size]
[size=45]And military experts point out that the security file for the "disputed" areas has become a political card controlled by parties seeking demographic changes.[/size]
[size=45]The Kurdish writer and researcher Muhammad Zangana says to (Pasnews), "Iraq needs the presence of the international coalition forces from (5-10) more years, because there is no real national army that represents Iraq, and the militias have a negative impact on the Iraqi security services."[/size]
[size=45]Noting that "there is a conflict between the militias and the Iraqi army, which we see clear from time to time through repeated attacks by militias against members of the army."[/size]
[size=45]As for the terrorist ISIS escalation of its attacks on the "disputed" areas in the recent period, Zangana said, "The security leaders are busy dividing positions and political differences, because they belong to political parties and blocs, and there is collusion by Iranian-backed militias with the terrorists and in full view. And the Iraqi government cannot control the hegemony of these militias, not to mention the lack of strong military planning by the army, and the absence of Peshmerga forces in these areas, because the Iraqi army alone cannot control the security of these areas ».[/size]
[size=45]Muhammad Zinka accused the militias of "leaving the territories under the control of terrorists, through the existence of Iranian agreements with terrorist organizations."[/size]
[size=45]Zangana believes that "it is necessary to have a tripartite administration for the coalition forces, the Iraqi army and the Peshmerga forces to control ISIS terrorist attacks, and then a bilateral administration for the Iraqi army and Peshmerga forces until the provisions of Article 140 of the Iraqi constitution are implemented."[/size]
