Haider Jawad Al-Abadi
Iraq will be free from militants of the terrorist group “Islamic state” (IG banned in Russia) for several weeks. This was stated by Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi in an interview with Fox News channel.
“At the moment we see that ISIS is retreating. We killed them, expelled from our land. In Iraq, victory is inevitable, it is inevitable”, — said the head of the Iraqi Cabinet.
According to him, “we’ll finish your job in a very short time — within a few weeks.” “We have a military victory, but others need to act to expel them from Syria and other places,” — said al-Abadi.
The Iraqi army is fighting with extremists in the Iraqi city of Mosul. Ground operation for the liberation of this town began in October 2016. In January-February of 2017, Iraqi troops, with the support of the International coalition forces led by the United States, liberated a large part of the city, but the fighting in the area still.
