Dit is waarvoor Nederland straks in Irak gaat bombarderen
Persoonlijk heb ik er geen problemen mee als Nederlandse F16’s bommen op IS-strijders in Irak gooien, maar wat als je dit ervoor terugkrijgt?
Residents told me that Shia militias, still operating under the control of former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, are laying siege to the town, especially the Asa’ib Ahl al-Haqq militia. Sunni residents of other towns to the north accused that group and other militias of carrying out summary executions there after the militas took control in the wake of US air strikes against the Islamic State.
The militias, along with federal police and the Iraqi army’s infamous seventeenth division, have kidnapped and killed dozens of residents in Latifiyya, the residents told me – but their stories are falling on deaf ears in Washington.
