Militia and Popular Mobilization Forces in Iraq fleeing to European countries under the pretext of refugees

In al-Anbar Province these forces have suffered major defeats, there are much less grounds left for plundering and there is no longer any motive to remain in the frontlines. PMF units are literally referred to as “disposable” soldiers for the Quds Force and their elements in Iraq such as Hadi al-Ameri and Abu Mahdi al-Mohandes. During the 1980s Iran-Iraq War Tehran used such soldiers to clear minefields. Today, in Iraq the moment they become useless for the commanders they are abandoned without any pay and commanders are even refusing to pay the expenses of those wounded, or compensate the families of those soldiers killed in battle. During the 1980s Iran-Iraq War, instigated by Khomeini, the ayatollahs constantly placed “Keys of Heaven” on the necks of Bassij forces and they would be sent off to die. Currently the Quds Force is dispatching IRGC and Bassij elements to Syria under the pretext “Defenders of the Zeinab Sanctuary” in Damascus, a similar tactic of placing heaven keys on those back in the 1980s. In Iraq the Quds Force is using PMF troops in battlefronts under the pretext of waging war against “tikfiris” and Sunnis, all aimed at provoking further flames of the raging sectarian war in Mesopotamia.
