We also call upon the Iraqi government to speed up the formation of battalions of police from the Nineveh Plain from all minorities to provide protection and eliminate terrorist groups and militias.
We fully support the leadership of Nineveh. We call this leadership to take tough action against terrorist groups, armed groups and militias of the parties in the regions mentioned.

Dr. Al-Qaddo Participates in Iraqi Reconcilliation Talks
Helsinki-Finland
Dr. Hunain Al-Qaddo Iraqi PM and Secretary General of the Shabak Democratic Party participated in reconcilliation talks with senior Iraqi politicians from different factions.
The meeting brought together 36 participants, including Sunni, Shia and Kurdish politicians, for three days of talks at a secret location in Finland between 27-29 April 2008. The talks were co-chaired by Martin McGuinness, a former IRA commander, who helped find a solution to the violence in Northern Ireland in 1998, and Cyril Ramaphosa, who assisted in bringing an end to apartheid in South Africa in 1993.
“All sides are now convinced that they should participate together in bringing stability to their country and agreed on renouncing armed struggle,” Osama al-Tikriti from the Iraqi Islamic Party, a Sunni political group, told reporters at Helsinki Airport. “We have made steps, great steps forward,” he said.
Violence continues, however, much of the result of a crackdown on Shia militias by Iraqi government forces and US troops. Participants in the talks in Finland said all parties agreed that foreign troops must leave Iraq, but only when Iraqi forces are ready to assume responsibility for security.
“We need efficient, trained and qualified (Iraqi) security forces who are able to operate so that it would make it unnecessary to have foreign forces in Iraq,” said Dr. Hunain Al-Qaddo and Humam Hammoudi, members of the parliament’s Constitutional Review Committee.

Who is killing the shabak in Mosul city?
Explanation
Once again a Shabak person is assassinated at the hands of terrorits groups that operate freely in the city of Mosul. The terrorists killed the martyr Khader Ibrahim Khalil on 13/4/2008 at the Hay Al-Tameem crossroads which is protected and supervised by Kurdish militiamen. In Hay AL-Tameem the Shabak have been almost completely eradicated from this neighbourhood.....the majority which been killed are not Kurds or Arabs but Shabak!
In Mosul there are 3 main terrorist groups which are conducting ethnic ,political and religious assasinations. The first group is Al-Qaeda which unfortunately consits of some Arab tribes "Sabaeye,Acharabyen" which mainly live in the area "North Garage" in Mosul. These tribes joined Al-Qaeda and started to kill the Shabak due to the fact they are mostly Shiites . They are professional criminals who kill without mercy and mostly burn down Shabak properties. These people have a wide influence on the west side of Mosul, operating with full freedom.
The 2nd group are also Arabs from Mosul and are mostly former "Baathists" and call themselves the "Resistance". They mainly assassinate Shabak who are politically engaged with Shiite parties from the south, they also kill Kurds which sympathise with Kurdish parties.
The 3rd group are so called assassination squads which have been mainly setup by Kurdish parties in assassinating anyone on the west side of Mosul who politically denounces the Kurdish parties and stands in front of them in trying to Kurdify the west side of Mosul and Kurdifying the Shabak.
Mosul a city of anarchy with no law only terrorists and bandits who rule this once so called "the city of two springs".

The Shabak Blood Flows and Flows....
Killings
We received with great sadness and sorrow the martyrdom of the young man Mohammed Ghanem. He was kidnapped infront of his home in mwafaqiya village at 7 pm on the 29/3/2008. The ruthless terrorists tortured him in the most beastly way by cutting his hands off and severing his head. The evil terrorists then dumped his body in an area between aallak village and alirash village.
The Shabak Democratic Party condemn this beastly and unhuman killings on the Shabak people and hold Mr. Draed Kashmullah Mayor of Ninevah province and Mr. Khasro Gowran as deputy mayor responsible for these acts as they have failed to allow the recruitment of a police force from the same area to protect the Ninevah plain from terrorists.
