Due to the many attacks that are being launched against the international coalition forces in Iraq, the British ambassador to Iraq announced that these militias are the cause of Iraq's instability and they are not under the control of the Iraqi government.

Stephen Hickey, the British ambassador to Iraq, announced in a television interview that the security situation in Iraq is very complex. Iraq is not stable with the presence of outlaw groups, because these armed groups are not under the control of the Iraqi government.

The British ambassador to Iraq added that there is no justification for launching attacks on the international coalition forces.

On the future of the coalition forces and the steps to confront ISIS, he revealed that negotiations between the Iraqi government and the international coalition forces are continuing.
