(MENAFN) Iraqi Prime Minister Hayder Al-Abadi declared victory over Daesh militants in Tal Afar and the entire province of Nineveh on Thursday, despite continued fighting in the small town of Al-“Ayadiya.
Tal Afar had become the next target of the US-backed war on the jihadist group following the capture of Mosul, where it had declared its “caliphate” over parts of Iraq and Syria in 2014.
“Tal Afar has been liberated,” Abadi said in a statement. “We say to the Islamic State fighters: wherever you are, we are coming for you, and you have no choice but to surrender or die.”
