Qusad announces agreement with Baghdad to repatriate 31,000 Iraqi refugees
2019/4/12
[Follow-up]
An official in the so-called "self-administration" of the Syrian Democratic Forces (Qods) announced on Thursday an agreement with Baghdad to return some 31,000 Iraqis from camps in northeastern Syria to their country.
An official in the so-called "self-administration" of the Syrian Democratic Forces (Qods) announced on Thursday an agreement with Baghdad to return some 31,000 Iraqis from camps in northeastern Syria to their country.
"A delegation from the Iraqi cabinet visited the self-administration to discuss the return of Iraqi refugees to their country, estimated at 31,000, and agreed to return," said Mahmoud Crow, an official in the camps for displaced people in northeastern Syria.
"We are waiting for the Iraqi government to open the border to start running flights to Iraq," Crow said.
Crow demanded the Iraqi government to work to restore "all Iraqis and not to do so selectively," appealing to Baghdad, "the trial of accused of joining gangs advocating on Iraqi territory."
Self-management, according to Crow, faces the problem of not having "many Iraqis on Iraqi ID cards and identities, except for children born in Syria."
At the same time, AFP quoted an Iraqi official as saying that they would transport Iraqi refugees to a special camp, including a number of families of "gangs" gangsters.
Ali Abbas, an official of the Ministry of Displacement and Migration, who is following up the issue of Iraqi refugees in Syria, was quoted as saying that "all preparations for receiving these families" have been completed in a camp currently being built near Sinjar in northwestern Iraq, .
"They will undergo a cultural and religious program after they have been brainwashed," he said, in a process that may require years, while those with no security suspicions can return to their areas.
This number does not include the 31,000 Iraqi militants in the gangs of "Dahesh" who were arrested by Qusad, in turn, as they advanced in the last enclave of the organization in eastern Syria.
The camps, run by Qusd, most notably the Hool camp, include thousands of Iraqi families, who emerged from the control areas of a terrorist group before the Syrian Democratic Forces announced a crushing defeat last month.
