Baghdad’s troops retake disputed areas from Kurds
IRAQI authorities reasserted control yesterday of all areas seized by the Kurdistan regional government (KRG) in 2014.
Troops reoccupied the remaining areas of Nineveh, Kirkuk, Salah al-Din and Diyala provinces after peshmerga forces retreated.
The KRG took over the oil-rich regions in 2014 during the Isis conquest of much of the north, including the city of Mosul.
