A lawyer in the former US President Bush Justice Department believes the terrorist Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) aka MEK/PMOI is trying to steer its supporters in the United States towards a war with Iran, describing it as a bad ally…The former analyst with the RAND Corporation also highlighted that the MKO has been a bad ally in peace, and it would be a bad ally in war and reconstruction.
“As Camp Hurriya is only a temporary solution, resettlement is the key to the success of this effort. There must be countries that are willing to accept Camp Ashraf residents after they obtain registered refugee status,“ says Kobler.So far, however, commitments by governments to receive Ashraf residents have been limited. Kobler has been vocal in calling on states to seriously consider taking them in.
An Iranian lawmaker says US support for the terrorist Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) aka MEK/PMOI emboldens the group to carry out acts of terror, stressing that they should be expelled from Iraq.
From 2003 to 2009 the Ashraf camp was under the supervision and control of the American army and they were helping them by giving medication, medical facilities and fuel and foodstuff, but none of those items mentioned above reached to the hands of the members of this cult . those items either were sold in the Iraq black market or was in monopolization of the cult leaders. ..
You would imagine that, when offered a (now retracted) deal like that from Hillary Clinton – give up Camp Ashraf to give us some grounds to take you off the US terror list – bearing in mind the concomitant Patriot Act funding that would surely follow – Massoud Rajavi would grab it with both hands, vacate the camp and make plans to move his army to a similar camp in another country neighbouring Iran. ..
Time is running out to find a sustainable solution. The government’s patience is wearing thin,”said Kobler, who heads the UN mission in Iraq (UNAMI).”Recent weeks have witnessed difficulties in maintaining dialogue between UNAMI and the residents, and between the residents and the government of Iraq, reinforcing a perception that the residents lack a genuine will”to move,..
a U.S. official said”as delicate negotiations between the UN, the United States, the Iraqis, and the MEK continue, the role of these often paid advocates [on behalf of MEK] is becoming even more unhelpful and potentially dangerous.”..
Hundreds of members of an Iranian opposition militant group exiled [MKO/PMOI/MEK] in Iraq defied yesterday’s deadline to vacate their camp ..The MEK members who are holding out say conditions at Camp Hurriya are inhumane and refuse to be relocated. But Iraq’s government, the United Nations and the US State Department say the claims are just stalling tactics.
The Mujahedin-e Khalq is trying to steer its supporters in the United States toward war, which shows that the enemy of our enemy is not our friend. As it turns out, however, many of the public figures openly admit that they did not know much about the MEK when they agreed to attend the events. Many were invited by suspected MEK front groups with names such as the Organizing Committee for Convention for Democracy in Iran
The MEK aka MKO/PMOI seems to believe it can keep control of Camp Ashraf, its longtime compound near the Iran-Iraq border, and Clinton will still be under pressure to delist the group, this official said.”What bothers all of us working for a peaceful solution is that the MEK seems to believe all they have to do is hold firm and do whatever they want. They are being encouraged in this view by some of their American supporters..
