Isis continues its collapse in Iraq
THE military collapse of Isis continued yesterday, when Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi announced the liberation of Hawija, west of Kirkuk.
Speaking in Paris at a press conference with French President Emmanuel Macron, Mr Abadi hailed the city’s capture as a “victory not just for Iraq but for the whole world."
He said the next target for the offensive against the jihadists would be Anbar province, a vast and barren area bordering Syria through which several key oil and gas pipelines pass.
