In Iraq, militants continue offensive toward Kirkuk oil-bearing region

47
According to the "Vesti", Iraqi militants continue to advance towards the oil-rich region of Kirkuk. Armed extremists seized several areas of Salah al-Din province. Now, the fighters of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant are heading north to the border with the province of Tamim and towards the oil-rich province of Kirkuk.

Earlier, the militants managed to seize the city of Al-Huweija and the province of Ninawa with the administrative center in Mosul.

It is worth noting that the Iraqi authorities are in no hurry to take active steps to eliminate the militants in the occupied areas. Parliament will consider the possibility of entering a state of emergency only on Thursday.

On the eve of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said that a general mobilization is needed to return citizens to normal.

On Tuesday, UN official representative Stefan Douzarrik said that UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon is concerned about the destabilization of the situation in northern Iraq.

“The Secretary-General calls on all political leaders to demonstrate unity in the face of the threats facing Iraq, which can only be solved on the basis of the constitution and within the framework of a democratic political process,” he said.

Ban Ki-moon called on the Iraqi government and the Kurdish administration to start cooperation to restore stability and deliver the necessary humanitarian aid.

“The UN Assistance Mission in Iraq is ready to support these efforts,” Dujarrik said.

"The Secretary-General recalled that all member countries (UN) have an obligation to comply with and apply point-level financial sanctions, arms embargoes and travel bans against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant under UN Security Council resolution 1267 and 1989", - he added.

        So, the price of oil will soon jump and then gas will jump! What will the EU say after that about the gas price! tongue In Libya, too, problems with the shipment of oil! And the Americans are all in Kiev playing tag games! fool
        Interestingly, this may prompt exporting countries to create a gas OPEC!

          Raising gas prices is beneficial to the United States, the higher the price, the more cost-effective the supply of oil shale to Europe.

            There was nothing else to export! There are no LNG plants there is no production volume! All this is only on paper! And there are more profitable markets besides the EU, these are Asian countries that already buy LNG at a price of about 700-800 dollars!

          No. Everything goes according to plan:

          Serbia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Egypt, Libya, Syria, Ukraine, Iran, Russia, China. That's just with the last characters somehow it does not grow together.

            Yes, and Syria did not grow together. Instead of chaos, the Americans received an army in the Middle East capable of grinding their militants thousands of days, led by a strong and charismatic leader.
            And in Egypt, As-Sisi is also strong, and behind him the whole Egyptian army.
            So it turns out that instead of the weak and humble Mubbarak, Gaddafi and Hussein, they received regional centers of power.

        Everything is clear about the "beneficial influence" with the "American demoration". It is interesting: who is "hiding" under the term - "Iraqi militants", well, who is "working" for, in the sense. It is clear that the "Iraqi militants" themselves, will not start producing oil. So whose "interest" is there?

      The Iraqi government is in no hurry, because it is the land of the Kurds, they want the militants to solve the problem with the de facto independent Iraqi Kurdistan. Well, then it’s easier to gouge weakened militants.

      They have in their program to reel Fattened monarchies, who have forgotten the true path and have been sold to the wrong. And also to return the true faith to the Albanians and Turks. At the same time, it was ISIS that lured the majority of Europeans in Syria, which is also an unpleasant sign.

      And Syria itself is bad. Here is the package from Mosul to Raqqa.

    It's just that they are being beaten in Syria, but not yet in Iraq ...

      Are they being beaten in Syria? This is something new. They Raqqa is a bridgehead and there every day the fence of the infidels is updated. In Deir ez-Zur, a layered cake - ISIS is fortified, Nusryata and broken parts of the SSA between the armored carriage of the SAA and the fortified ISIS station. There is no power neither forward nor backward. And the Syrian army is not yet eager to enter into full contact with ISIS. Try to smash / scatter the rest as much as possible.

      Yes, they do not attack, because all forces have been thrown into Iraq, but now, parcels have gone from Iraq in the form of the M113, Humvee, guns and weapons squeezed into the 12 division.

    Forgive me for being politically incorrect, but the more I hear news from the Middle East, the more I become convinced that normal life there is possible only with an iron dictatorship. To inculcate democracy in Islamic (and not only) states is the same as pouring the wrong type of blood into a patient. The body begins rejection, necrosis and decomposition. And the pendes are like a crazy doctor who, despite all the lethal cases, continues his bloody practice.

    There CATASTROPHE. In the north, everything collapsed. The head of the ground forces of Iraq was killed. The provincial governor barely broke through with a fight. Yesterday, by lunchtime, the rest of the 12 division surrendered - Mosul and the suburbs in the hands of ISIS completely.

    Captured - 250 tons of gold and 500 million dollars, this is more than in many countries of the world.
    Mosul airport with helicopters and army planes.
    The location of the 12 division with military equipment.

    By evening, panicky notes began - the whole of Nineveh was in the hands of ISIS. Moreover, in the evening they took a foothold in Salah-eh-Din Iraq Air Force Base Shirkat with Mi-171 and Eurocopters.

    There is also an attack on Kirkuk.

    There are still fights in the Shiite shrine of Samarra. Moreover, knowing the realities of today, it was a distraction. But, the fact that the deployed units of 9TD and the elite ISOF units still cannot take the 1 / 3 cities, suggests that everything is very bad.

    Huber of Nineveh, the speaker of parliament has already formally requested the United States - FOR URGENT NECESSARY MILITARY AID. At night, Maliki turned to the UN, EU, and the League of Arab Countries with a request for all possible assistance.

    In the morning they already write:
    A British #ISIS fighter has claimed that two hundred Humvee vehicles were captured in #Baiji in #Iraq.

    This is Salah Eh-Din reeling.


    Soldiers run tearing uniform.

    Russia needs to support those who are fighting against the Americans and their accomplices, in the worst case, support the militants of Islam, as the Americans in turn supported the armament and instructors of the majahideen in Afghanistan, each has its own interests.

    To the news addition:

    The capture of a large metropolis allows ISIS to gain a foothold in it and begin to expand its controlled territory. True, although there is no "Al-Sahwa" here, there is a Kurdish militia - and it cannot be called an easy enemy for the Islamists.

    Baghdad declared full combat readiness of the army and began to advance its units to the city.

    Nevertheless, the population is fleeing in panic, the militants are cleaning up the captured quarters, ruthlessly shooting all the people in uniform and those who seem suspicious to them.

      There, with loyalty, it’s not very, I don’t understand, Shiite Shabihs, they know that if ISIS breaks Maliki, then the Shiites will do a Bosky ax in the squares. And this is not propaganda, there are on WeekTvik weekly updates of Shabiqui executions.

      However, on occasion, the Shabiha throws weapons and uniforms, scattering home.
