Iraq’s Nujaba leader urges US to ‘take lessons’ from defeat in Afghanistan

A senior leader of Iraq’s al-Nujaba resistance movement has urged the American forces stationed in the Arab country to “take lessons” from their humiliating defeat in and ouster from Afghanistan.

Nasr al-Shammari, the deputy secretary-general and spokesman of the group, in a statement on Tuesday, said the turn of events in war-ravaged Afghanistan carry “two important lessons.”

The first lesson, he asserted, is that the resistance, led by the Popular Mobilization Units (PMU), in 2014 prevented the capital city of Baghdad from meeting the fate of Kabul.

The second lesson pertains to American mercenaries and their allies in Iraq that they should immediately leave the country “as long as the way of return to the homeland is still open.”

He went on to declare that the day of the withdrawal of US forces from Iraq “is not far off.”

The astonishing speed and aggression with which the Taliban militant group laid siege to Kabul and other strategic provincial capitals of Afghanistan last week has left the whole world stunned.

The takeover by the Taliban took the US government by c surprise as they rushed military reinforcements to Kabul to oversee the evacuation of US diplomats from the country.
