Kurdish, Iraqi leaders stress the need to strengthen cooperation in confronting ISIS remnants
Iraq 01:40 PM - 2021-12-04
On Saturday, a delegation from the Ministry of Peshmerga held a meeting with military leaders in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.
The delegation of the Ministry of Peshmerga was headed by Lieutenant-General Jabbar Yawar, where he met with Lieutenant-General Abdul-Amir Al-Shamri, Deputy Commander of Joint Operations.
The two sides stressed the need to develop joint plans and strengthen coordination and cooperation between the army and the Peshmerga in confronting the remnants of ISIS terrorists.
A military official had revealed earlier today that a delegation from the Ministry of Peshmerga had arrived in Baghdad to discuss the security gaps between the Peshmerga forces and the Iraqi Army in the disputed areas.
Iraq has announced a military victory over ISIS in 2017 after 3 years of battle with the terrorists. However, remnants of the group continue to impose threats, especially in areas disputed between Erbil and Baghdad.
The disputed areas and their surroundings are still a hotspot for ISIS activities. The terrorists' sleeper cells exploit the security gaps between Kurdish and Iraqi forces.
ISIS militants ambush, kidnap, and extort both civilians and members of the security forces in the disputed areas, which stretch across several provinces, including Kirkuk, Nineveh, Diyala, and Saladin.
Kurdish officials have repeatedly warned that ISIS militants are using “security gaps” between the Iraqi and Kurdish forces to carry out attacks in the disputed territories.
Despite the announcement of forming joint military units in those regions, however, the decision has not been put into effect so far.
