"The change in military plans in the liberation operations depends only on the data in the field of operations," said the commander of the operations of Nineveh and the deputy commander of joint operations, Lieutenant General Abdul Amir Yarallah.

 He stressed that the terrorist organization is seeking in various ways to prolong his stay in Ayman Mosul, Because the right side of the Mosul is the stronghold of the succession of terrorists, adding that the liberation of the city of Mosul in general and the right side, especially from the grip of a supporter of the fall of the alleged caliphate, indicating that the security forces have so far to detonate more than 1600 wheel bombs for the absence of the liberation of Nineveh.



[Asharq Al-Awsat] Can you explain to us the accuracy of the information that indicates a change in the plans of military operations while remaining on the right side of the Mosul ...?

- In principle, it is not possible to maintain a plan whatever its strength and strength. The plans are always prepared in the beginning before any operation, but the circumstances facing the factions on the battlefield certainly change, and our plan in Mosul, not just on the right side, with the start of operations coming to Ninewa on 17/10/2016 is subject to change according to the data we face in the field.

The right side is part of the operations of the Mosul, the large numbers of citizens and their presence in the neighborhoods, the use of civilians as human shields, and the nature of the buildings and narrow passages all led to the security forces of various names working on the right side to reconsider their plans to ensure the lives of civilians and At the same time fulfill the task entrusted to us.



[Asharq Al-Awsat] There is clear resentment that the anti-terrorist forces have not been given a major role in the liberation operations of the right side, considering that they succeeded in liberating the left side with the least loss of life and property ...?

- Plans are initially placed in accordance with the possibilities available. The left side was not liberated by the counterterrorism apparatus alone, but there were also Iraqi and federal police forces, currently on the right side which was shown (6.5 km, 11 km) from it (3.5_4 km) by the counterterrorism forces, 2.5 km) in the hands of the federal police, meaning that more than 60% of the mentioned side, however, the fight against terrorism, and this indicates that those who speak so do not know what is happening in Ayman Mosul.



[Asharq Al-Awsat] There are those who say that the increase in civilian casualties caused by the president is the siege dishes on the dailies and the lack of opening a corridor to help them escape, which led them to fight fiercely and resort to the use of civilians as human shields ...?

In principle, we left the road between Mosul and Tal Afar open for more than three weeks.

During this period, we noticed that there was a strong reinforcement of Tal Afar towards Mosul.

 We decided to close the road completely. More than 90% of those who are currently fighting are foreigners, , They came to die and even if we opened the way they will not get out of Mosul, in addition to the presence of checkpoints along the way to kill anyone trying to escape from the city, so we believe that the justification of a siege on the elements of the organization has never been true, Mosul is the goal of President da death For the city and not to withdraw.



[Asharq Al-Awsat] After what happened in the new Mosul on the right of the city, how will the military plan and its strategy be reconsidered in the liberation of the rest of the right side ...?

- There is no Shi (Dear), War !! Five years ago we were fighting in these areas. The enemy started using civilians as human shields. Mosul is considered the last region to succeed. The right side means the fall of a caliphate. Therefore, the enemy tries to prolong its existence. In all ways on the right side, and the mobilization of civilians inside houses and narrow areas and targeting security forces from these areas and in some neighborhoods hit these targets led to civilian casualties.

[Asharq Al - Awsat] Do you think that opening a corridor to Damascus to get out of Mosul will contribute to reducing the civilian casualties, and is there coordination with the popular mobilization forces to open the international road between Mosul and Syria ...?

- Never .. Never .. We will not open the way to them and we will kill all terrorists present in Mosul and Tal Afar also, and will not open any road, either in the direction of Tal Afar or towards Syria.



[Asharq Al-Awsat] Are you with the presence of a military governor who will manage Mosul after its liberation ...?

"This is a political matter ... I am only responsible for liberating Nineveh province and expelling elements who are calling for it, and then it is the state's responsibility to manage the security file in Mosul ..."



[Asharq Al-Awsat] Is there a specific statistic about the number of dead elements of the organization and the number of wheels that have been detonated so far in operations coming Ninawa?

- According to information available to me, there are hundreds of thousands of deaths can not be accurately limited. Especially from the organization's leaders.

As for the number of car bombs, more than 1030 car bombs were detonated on the left side.

More than a month and ten days after the launch of Ayman Mosul operations, more than 300 car bombs have been detonated so far, as well as hundreds of motorcycles bombs and planes march.

[Asharq Al-Awsat] After the liberation of Yaninwa, how much did you liberate from Nineveh province?

- We have liberated so far very large areas of the grip of the organization, and left only half of the right side, as well as spend Tal Afar, urban and Alaj and Kairouan, and in general freed an estimated 85% of the total area of ​​Nineveh province.



[Asharq Al-Awsat] Do you think that the start of the liberation operations of Nineveh before the Hawija was correct or vice versa?

- Ninewa was the first city to fall in the hands of the organization and led to the fall of the security situation in Iraq and the occupation of the call for large areas.
Go to stronghold

Terrorists and their alleged succession and overthrowing them would eliminate all terrorists and liberate all regions.

 When the Nineveh province is completely liberated from the duplicitous control, we will see that other areas still under the control of the organization will collapse easily. * As the commander of operations coming Nineveh ..

 What is the maximum time you expect enough to liberate Nineveh fully from the ...? -

 It is very difficult to give you a certain period of time to liberate the Mosul completely, but I can say that the security forces will be able to liberate the province of Nineveh in full at the end of next May if the plans go according to plan.

 "I say to my parents, brothers and sisters in Mosul, that we promised you to liberate Mosul, and we are approaching the liberation of the city completely from the control of the terrorist, who turned the city into a forest for killing, looting, destruction and destruction of symptoms.

 .. Dear people in Mosul beloved I invite you to cooperate strongly with the security forces and guide them to the whereabouts of elements of the organization and their place and hideouts.

As well as stay away from areas of engagement. And I hope not to gather inside houses as happened during the past few days, where more than 100 citizens gathered inside a single house in Ayman Mosul because this will negatively affect their lives and lives. And with the cooperation of the people of Mosul with the security forces, we will be able to liberate the city of Mosul in full and expel the elements of the organization, and the closure of the file of the liberation of Mosul, God willing ...
