CANADA is sending dozens of military advisers to Iraq as part of an effort to bolster Iraqi forces against Islamic militants.
PRIME Minister Stephen Harper said on Friday they will join the US in advising Iraq on how to enable security forces in the northern part of the country to be more effective against the threat posed by the group that calls itself the Islamic State.
Harper, in a statement from the NATO summit in Wales, said the group was a real threat to regional security and to the people of Iraq."Left unchecked, ISIL is also a direct threat to Canada and its Allies," Harper said, using one of the acronyms for the group."The deployment of members of the Canadian Armed Forces is a concrete measure to deter the murderous rampage of ISIL and respond to the humanitarian crisis it has caused."Canada's initial deployment will be for a period of up to 30 days and will be reassessed after that time.US Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes tweeted the "US welcomes PM Harper's announcement that Canada will send military advisers to Iraq as part of our effort to support Kurdish forces."Canada's contribution is in addition to the two Canadian military cargo planes that are ferrying weapons to Kurdish fighters.Canadian Foreign Minister John Baird visited the front lines in Iraq this week. The Harper government said opposition leaders in Canada are being briefed on this decision.Canada's former Liberal government refused a request to send troops when the US invaded Iraq in 2003, straining ties between the two neighbours. Canada then stepped up its mission in Afghanistan as part of an effort to repair ties with Washington.Anda sedang membaca artikel tentang
