During the next few months will enter the Iraqi city of Mosul , a mixed force of Iraqis.This force will cleanse the city from extremists «Daash» then begins work on forming anadministrative apparatus and stabilizing and rebuilding in one of the most cities of Iraq and its provinces complex.
There is no doubt that «Daash» defeat in Mosul, but the real question is what will happen next that? Will you succeed efforts beyond «Daash» in the settlement of disputes that can arise on a number of issues in order to solve the stability in one of the most versatile provinces of Iraq and a challenge? Failure in this matter may end us to «Daash 3».
Looking to the future of the process of cleansing the city brings to mind experiences that we have fought in the spring of 2003 , when the band entered the 101st Airborne, which I had the honor of its leadership, to Mosul amid the chaos of a storm. The first task we faced, after being able to restore the system to some degree, is to determine how toestablish a system administrator, this asks us to use Iraqi our partners to help us walk the affairs of this city of nearly two million people, as well as the rest of the province ofNineveh , and the area is very wide We do not know about them very little. Nlbut not that we discovered that the formation of an interim council of representatives of Nineveh province to work with us is not an easy task. Also, the formation of the Council and thedevelopments that came in the wake of the composition suitable as a whole sighted us what is waiting for the next endeavor in Mosul. The
challenge that characterizes the city center, and Nineveh province in general, is the large number of ethnic groups and religious sects, tribes and other elements that go into the composition of the province. Finally , we have tried to ensure the presence of apresence in the local council for each religious community head (Sunnis, Shiites, Christians and networks) and all ethnic groups (Arabs and Kurds Aesidein and Turkmen) and all the social component of another president (academics from the University ofMosul, businessmen and retired military officers).
Then we were able to create a pool dignitaries, and took assembly in turn elect aninterim provincial council. After that the Council has the election of an efficient person with experience as a governor temporarily. The person mentioned former officer in theIraqi army brigadier and was honored high accolades and respected, where Saddam Hussein killed his brother also imposed on him personally house arrest for a long time. The
most important thing is that I have been granted the power and all the authorities I need in addition to the necessary support for the force that authority when necessary. I did not Otawany to use any of them.
It is clear that the United States forces today does not have the power or powers or prepare the items that they have in Iraq in 2003. The well is does not have the mandate that was owned in those early days. However, support troops provided by the US - led coalition to the Iraqi side over the past year (especially intelligence and the efforts ofreconnaissance and surveillance, advisers and logistical elements , and the means by which the payment of surgical strikes) has been effective in achieving successes in Iraq in Ramadi and Fallujah, Tikrit and Beiji and Qayyarah and many sites and other battles.There is no doubt in my mind that the coalition capabilities will continue over the coming weeks , landing devastating strikes , including the rest of the elements «Daash» in Mosul , so that the battle there may be less aggressive and severe than many had feared. So itwill not be defeated «Daash» is the biggest challenge in Mosul it is the task that we faced in 2003: no security guarantee and post - conflict reconstruction, and before this and that to build an administrative device be representative of all the people responsive to their demands. These are all Iraqis should be handled primarily on the different affiliations and allegiances without having to be at their disposal the power, resources and authorities themselves which was in our hands.
There are clear lessons to be learned from our past experience, as well as from the post after the departure of US forces in late 2011. The most important of these lessons is theneed to support the administration of the rule be comprehensive incubated represent everyone responds to them.
Sunni Arabs in Mosul and Nineveh province will need in particular to large assurances that their interests be taken into account and be present and kept largely adequate in Mosul and Nineveh new. The same should be for the citizens of the Kurds in Nineveh (belonging to various political parties) and like them Shiites and Turkmen , Arabs Bshiathm and their year, as well as Yazidis and Christians, Shabak, many different tribes there.
You must Baghdad are Prime Minister Haider al - Abadi is ready to provide all thefunding levels. The task facing Abadi complex to the extreme, but the only way to move forward is to address the challenges and face - to - face and work to build relationships and pressure on all frustrating to work to find common ground in various affairs of theparties, supported by the coalition led by the United States. Addressing process for the post «Daash» and develop solutions to them will be arduous and heavy. However , the United States , which has provided aid and made it possible to defeat the «Daash», after the contribution premium greatest potentials and resources to ensure achieve more successes and initiatives reconstruction, now has with its many partners in the coalition influential and widely when developing solutions, and the exercise of this power.
