CAIRO,
April 15 (IslamOnline.net) - A new front to rebuild and liberate Iraq
from the U.S. occupation will be set up in cooperation with a number
of national Iraqi movements, head of Iraq’s Islamic Party -- Muslim
Brotherhood in Iraq - Eyad al-Samra’i announced Tuesday, April 15.
“The
setting up of this nascent front comes in response to the U.S.
attempts to form a new Iraqi regime of Iraqi exiles to achieve the
U.S. goals,” he told IslamOnline.net over the phone, but made no
mention to these national Iraqi movements.
However,
al-Samra’i said that his London-based party, which works under
ground in Iraq, is currently in contacts with a number of Iraqi
opposition factions inside Iraq to “come together to stand up to the
occupation and its agents.”
He
said this front focuses on achieving two primary goals: forcing the
U.S. and U.K. troops out and urging all Iraqi mosaic factions to act
in unison for a free democratic Iraq.
“Iraqis
should let bygones be bygones and boost national unity, which would
play a pivotal role in forcing the occupation troops out,”
al-Samra’i stressed.
He
also called on Iraqi national movements to reject any U.S. plans aimed
at redrawing the geopolitical map of Iraq.
IslamOnline.net
received a copy of a statement released by the party, which flatly
rejected the U.S. occupation of Iraq and regarded as treason any
collaboration with the U.S. and U.K. troops in Iraq.
It
also reiterated the inalienable right of the Iraqi people to
self-determination and the importance of facing the “psychological
warfare,” which depicted Iraqis as warmly welcoming the occupying
troops and took advantage of the widespread looting to tarnish the
image of Iraqis and paper over the crimes of the occupation.
The
statement also called for “exposing the malicious plans to destroy
Iraq and entrenches the foothold of the occupation by setting
government facilities ablaze and looting hospitals, universities,
banks and museums in Iraq.”
It
also warned of sectarian sedition in Iraq, asserting the territorial
integrity of the country.
The
statement urged keeping Iraq’s seat in the Organization of Petroleum
Exporting Countries (OPEC) and protecting the country’s oil sector.
It
further called for writing off the back-breaking debts owed by Iraq
and exhorted Arab countries and international community to proffer a
helping hand to the Iraqis to liberate their country from the
“malevolent occupation.”
