The Secretary General of Badr Organization Hadi al-Amiri says the forces won't allow even "a single US soldier" to remain in Iraq.

(presstv) -- In an exclusive interview with Press TV, Hadi al-Ameri, who heads Iraq’s Badr Organization, said the popular forces would call on the parliament to draw up legislation to demand the US pull out all its troops from the Arab country.

 “We will adopt a parliamentary decision to pull out all American troops”, who were allegedly fighting Isis terrorists in the conflict-stricken Arab country, he said.

Ameri said the popular forces won’t allow even “one US soldier” to remain in Iraq now that the Takfiri terrorists have lost their major bastions in the Arab state in the face of successful Iraqi army operations.

Hashd al-Sha’abi is a group of Shia and Sunni fighters that was formed after the emergence of Isis in Iraq in 2014. In the early days of Isis' terror campaign, the then-volunteer fighters played a major role in reinforcing the Iraqi army, which had suffered heavy setbacks in the face of lightning advances by the terrorists.
