Al-Kaabi: the Sinjar file must be handed over to the Federal Government
Shafaq News / The First Deputy Speaker of the Iraqi Parliament, Hassan Al-Kaabi, accused political of being responsible for the instability in Sinjar.
Al-Kaabi said during his reception of a Yazidi delegation from Sinjar district, that the government must protect stability in the district by handing over the security file to the federal government, adding that the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces should directly supervise this file.
He pointed out, "Sinjar is part of the Iraqi state, and temporary solutions cannot be accepted," stressing the need to launch a major campaign to rebuild Sinjar as soon as possible.
Sinjar is witnessing turbulent conditions due to the presence of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), whose headquarters are continuously under Turkish bombardment.
There are currently two local governments for Sinjar, one of which was appointed by the federal government authorities, and the second is the elected government, which is running its business from Duhok governorate.
The anti-Ankara PKK also formed a faction loyal to it there, called the "Sinjar Protection Units," and receives salaries from the Iraqi government as a faction under the umbrella of Al-Hashd Al-Shaab.
The PKK reject repeated calls from the Region to leave the areas subjected to Turkish attacks, which impedes the return of tens of thousands of displaced Yazidis to their homes.
