cloudflare is slower than other CDN, WHY?

Cloudflare is slower than Akamai and Limelight even though CF has peering agreement with my ISP and PoP here.

So I live in Iraq , and there's a couple of cache servers, without them people would march in ISPs' offices and kill all employees ... Slowly like the internet they provide 🤣🤣
CDN companies and cache servers here:
The ISPs' cache server for pirated movies, show and files etc ..(my downloading speed with this 1.6MBps-2.6MBps)
The Akamai CDN (700KBps-5MBps)
Limelight CDN (1MBps and off peak 6.8MBps)
Google global cache, YouTube and search, (1MBps-3MBps)
Facebook CDN, FNA (1MBps-4MBps)
Tiktok, 4 days ago it was CDN77.org now Akamai, (1.6MBps to 5MBps)
and
Cloudflare 250-300KBps (I don't think it's downloading from cache server here as this speed is for international downloading (not cached) ) and the weird thing they have peering agreements with my ISP Earthlink. And PoP in Baghdad, Iraq
It's been driving nuts, as there's a website that I really like and it uses CF. To make sure that it's not this site's fault. I've made my own website with CF and created cache everything rule and it's still the same download speed (250-300KBps)
i'm not being directed to the closest PoP, but this doesn't make sense, as I'm being redirected to US server . Not even a PoP, also there's probably a one or two PoP closer to me than US, like there's one that 100KM away form me,
I used glasswire to figure out servers' locations, and for most of these it's like this. https://www.glasswire.com/host/cds4.bgw.llnw.net for domain
and https://www.glasswire.com/host/37.238.255.230 for IP
but for Cloudflare
https://www.glasswire.com/host/d01-cf.put.io.cdn.cloudflare.net
https://www.glasswire.com/host/104.18.31.179
