    In an attempt to be the leading armed forces in any future operation aiming at liberation of Hawija, the Shi’ite militia group of Hashd al-Shaabi continues deploying additional fighters to Kirkuk province.

    According to a Hashd al-Shaabi official who spoke to Kurdistan24 on Saturday, the Shi’ite militias will marching towards Hawija from three axes while Kurdish Peshmerga forces are said to attack from east of Hawija.

    The strategic town is located in west of Kirkuk province and, according to Peshmerga commander Kamal Kirkuki, it is part of Kurdish territories.

    “It is illogic to shed the blood of brave Peshmerga in Hawija and then let the town to be ruled by those who are Daesh themselves,” Kirkuki said, using the Arabic acronym for Islamic State.According to Kurdistan24, fresh Shi’ite militias have joined thousands of Hashd al-Shaabi fighters whom have previously been stationed in the southern areas of Kirkuk province.

    BasNews previously quoted Kirkuk Chief of Police, Sarhad Qader, saying the presence of any armed group in the province without a prior coordination with Kurdish Peshmerga forces is likely to cause further complexity.
