Abu Reda Al-Najjar, Deputy Commander of Operations for the North and East of the Dijlah in the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), affirmed that the "Victory Leaders" established a profound intellectual and humanitarian school of thought centered on serving the people. He stressed that their approach was not tied to individuals but to a steadfast doctrine and deeply rooted ideology that remains influential today.
In an interview with the "Unews" agency, Al-Najjar stated that the primary objective of these leaders was "serving humanity." He recalled an exchange with the late commander Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis, who, when asked about his life's aspiration, responded that he aimed to reach a stage where he could be a servant to the people. Al-Najjar characterized this principle as a comprehensive philosophy founded on faith in humanity and dedicated service.
He elaborated that this ideology was practically manifested across multiple fronts, from Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and Afghanistan to Bosnia and Herzegovina. Furthermore, it was evident in their participation in Iraq's battles, initially against Al-Qaeda and later in the confrontation against the Islamic State (ISIS), including the siege of Amerli and the battles of Bashir, Taza, Sourmatu, and other Iraqi regions.
Al-Najjar noted that this experience instilled in them patience, wisdom, and a spirit of initiative, pledging continued fidelity to this path. He highlighted that residents of Turkmen areas, from Amerli to Kabry and others, are currently commemorating these leaders by holding gatherings in Hussainiyas and mosques, expressing their loyalty and recognition of the "Victory Leaders'" role in achieving significant accomplishments.
Regarding continued apprehension from the West, particularly the United States and the Israeli entity, toward these leaders even after their martyrdom, Al-Najjar clarified that the fear stems not from the individuals themselves, but from the ideology and doctrine they represent. He stated that figures such as Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Sayyed Hashim Safieddine, Haj Qassem Soleimani, and Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis were not merely individuals but embodiments of a thought that has permeated all segments of society—women, children, elders, and youth.
In conclusion, he emphasized that this ideology will persist in a state of struggle until justice is achieved, asserting that firm belief in this path will remain present and active until the desired justice is realized.
