In recent days, the eyes of the whole world have been focused on Iraq and the fight against Isis. Norway asks itself what about Norwegian soldiers. According to Defense Minister Frank Bakke-Jensen, the government will withdraw Norwegian soldiers from Iraq if Iraq officially asks international forces to leave the country. Nothing like this has ever happened before. It is worth mentioning here that about 70 Norwegian soldiers remain in the Anbar region all the time. Norwegian authorities are currently awaiting approval after Baghdad's parliament passed a resolution to withdraw foreign military forces from the country. This happened after the US attacked and killed Iranian general Qasem Soleimani in the Iraqi capital.
Norwegian soldiers in Iraq! What's next?
A group of soldiers in Iraq is trained for anti-terrorist activities. In addition, special NATO activities are also carried out. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg called on the NATO Council, ambassadors from all 29 NATO countries, to an extraordinary meeting in Brussels on Monday afternoon. In addition, then at approx. 16.30 Norwegian time Stoltenberg reports to the press at NATO Headquarters. We will then find out what about further actions.
In conclusion ... Norwegian soldiers in Iraq! Are international bases under threat?
Should we be afraid? Most people ask themselves: can ISIS suddenly attack? The defense minister emphasizes that this cannot be ruled out. This is a risk factor that must always be considered. So far, nothing has happened, but it cannot be ruled out - as long as ISIS is around. To sum up. Still be vigilant.
