Despite the fact that all international laws and covenants ban any use
of children in wars, local Iraqi outlets have revealed how the Iran-backed
Hashid al-Shabi (Popular Mobilization Units) are training children for war.
180 juveniles in the village of Basheer in
Kirkuk Province are being trained by the Hashid al-Shabi, learning how to use
light and heavy weapons, and training in various military tactics.
Confirming such reports, Hashid al-Shabi have
said their objective is increasing these juveniles’ defensive capabilities to
protect themselves and the areas they live in.
A fact-finding mission has been established in
this regard, calling on Baghdad to take necessary measures aimed at preventing
the repeat of such actions, according to the Kirkuk Province Parliament.
The Human Rights Commission of this parliament
has called on civil organizations, security entities and the United Nations to
take action and prevent such initiatives by Hashid al-Shabi.
The situation of Iraq today : one of the byproducts of the campaign is that Iran’s (the Revolutionary Guardsr) each now extends even deeper throughout Iraq and seems unlikely to go away anytime soon.
