IS conflict: Iraq begins final push to clear western desert

 
Iraqi forces make victory signs after capturing the town of Rawa on 17 November 2017Image copyrightREUTERS Image captionIraqi pro-government forces have retaken 95% of the land IS once held in Iraq

Iraqi forces say they have launched an offensive to clear the desert bordering Syria of so-called Islamic State (IS).

Army, police and paramilitary units are advancing into areas of Salahuddin, Nineveh and Anbar provinces that form part of a region known as al-Jazira.

The operation comes days after Iraqi forces recaptured Rawa, the last Iraqi town controlled by the jihadist group.

Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has said he will announce "the final defeat" of IS once it is routed in the desert.

Many IS militants are believed to have fled to sparsely-populated parts of the al-Jazira region after suffering a series of defeats across Iraq and Syria.

The desert was used as a sanctuary by a precursor to IS, which was weakened by a US troop surge and the creation of Sahwa (Awakening) councils by Sunni Arab tribesmen who rejected its brutality.

The desert, Rawa and a number of other towns both side of the Iraqi-Syrian border were designated by IS as part of its "Euphrates Province".

The region was of strategic importance to IS as the group used routes through it to transfer fighters, weapons and goods.

It was also symbol of the group's intention to eradicate borders and lay to rest the 1916 Sykes-Picot agreement, which is resented by many Arabs and Kurds.

IS has been driven out of about 95% of the land the group once held in Iraq and more than 4.4 million Iraqis are no longer living under its rule, according to the US-led coalition supporting the Iraqi government.

Iraqi Forces Launch Operation to Clear Desert Bordering Syria of ISIS

Iraqi forces

Iraqi forces launched Thursday an operation to clear the desert bordering Syria of ISIS terrorists, a final campaign to rid Iraq of the militant group, the military said in a statement Thursday, according to press reports.

The Iraqi army is backed by Iran-allied IMIS Militias, terror groups that have repeatedly committed war crimes against civilians, particularly Sunnis. 

 

"The objective behind the operation is to prevent remaining ISIS groups from melting into the desert region and using it as a base for future attacks," army colonel Salah Kareem said.

 

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said on Tuesday ISIS had been defeated from a military perspective but he would only declare final victory after ISIS militants were routed in the desert.

Iraqi forces captured Friday the border town of Rawa, the last remaining town under ISIS control, signaling the collapse of the group's "caliphate" proclaimed after it overran much of Iraq's north and west in 2014.
