Hunain al-Qaddo, the representative of al-Bana coalition in the Iraqi parliament, was quoted by the Arabic-language service of Sputnik as saying that the Kurds support the Sunni leaders’ willingness to establish an autonomous land to materialize their goal of separation from Iraq.
He added that the US is flagrantly supporting the disintegration of Iraq into tribal territories and is moving on the path of forming a Sunni-controlled land through overthrowing Abdul Mahdi government.
Al-Qaddo noted that Israel also supports the Kurds’ separatist tendencies, adding that the Americans have raised the issue of dividing Iraq into 3 to 5 regions which push the country into war and instability.
In relevant remarks in June, al-Qaddo had warned that the White House is after disintegrating Iraq with arming the tribes of the Arab country in Western regions bordered with Syria.
“Iraq does not need the US arming its tribes in al-Anbar Governorate, and this move of Washington is just aimed at disintegrating the [Arab] country,” he said in an interview with Baghdad al-Youm, an Iraqi news outlet, at the time.
“The Iraqi government is stronger than ever. We neither need the arming of tribes outside the framework of the establishment nor entering the country into an arms anarchy,” the Iraqi lawmaker underscored.
“What we need is to arm Iraqi security forces with advanced weapons and equipment,” he said, commenting on why some figures have called on the US-led coalition to arm tribes.
The tribal leaders in al-Anbar province revealed in May that the US has increased its attempts to arm the Iraqi tribes under the pretext of preparing them to the fight against terrorism.
