Kurdish fighters triumphantly into right there celebrating the capture of the city which was a main stronghold in syria but. Wasnt easy. The Syrian Democratic forces a coalition of kurds and arabs backed by the u. S. Began the offensive in june i said fighters held ground for five months but the armed groups defense lines were eventually broken by a continual wave of strikes and shelling. We control rocket bodies you know there are mines that we need to clear and we have to make sure there are laws to fighters hiding in tunnels we are now clearing all the areas bits on a collision course with the syrian army which is also launching an offensive from the southwest to capture the oil rich province the two have recently been competing to expand their military gains in iraq and dealers or the counter rocket is a major setback for either which is now trying to hold ground in a vast desert area on the border with iraq by losing fertile lands and all fields the group finds itself deprived of crucial financial means it perfectly needs at this critical moment which was hoping to use syria and iraq as a starting point for its self declared Islamic State. Let me a Van Valkenburgh is a freelance journalist currently in co ballet on the Syrian Border he says its going to be difficult for people to return home to iraq. Ive gone through the someone trying but it was there are thoughts on he said one of the most priority made by order should be that occasion because children have been brainwashed by isis and thats why in all of our progress on our progress i did already start over the school again i started with.

Kurdish forces have lost more territory in Northern Iraq a day after Government Troops seized the Northern City of kirkuk iraqs Prime Minister says the kurdish or friend them on secession from baghdad is now finished and a thing of the past is calling for a dialogue with the kurdish leadership stratford as one hour from a to b. In. Iraq a Government Troops and shia militia on the outskirts of kirkuk less than twenty four hours off the Kurdish Peshmerga forces withdrew from the oil rich city no one predicted the ease and speed with which Iraqi Government forces could take control of the oil fields and most of the remaining towns in the disputed areas of Northern IraqPeshmerga Forces withdrew in some areas without even firing a shot the iraqi Prime Minister says they gnaw orders from erbil so i wonder what they went against your instruction and didnt cancel Market Forces please exists as a listen many people who have fled kirkuk the day before began to return the lights and now we dont know anything yet were about to enter but we dont know if its a phone or not where else can i go i dont know where to go its better to go back were going back to our house and our city. Some arab residents in this ethnically diverse region celebrated the arrival of Iraqi Government forces. And. Now all of kirkuk is retaken and we are happy some of the peshmerga killed in the sporadic fighting which taken to a morgue in the kurdish region second city so many of the Regional Government hasnt released figures yet on how many killed the letter and this is tell them since last night we received twenty five corpses of troops killed in battles of kirk and its suburbs relatives of those killed in battles received twenty one corpses so far the bereaved relatives are again. The ring at the morgue to receive dead bodies of their sons and their bill many people say they are shocked and feel betrayed accusing the International Community of siding with the Iraqi Government against them. It looks like there was an international betrayal of the kurdish nation and that is due to the fact that we had a plan to move towards independence unfortunately we are facing a situation where we lost everything that we had before all this loss is a result of the fact that the kurdish nation is not united evidence of factionalism and rivalry between kurdish groups and Political Parties is growing in a Statement Released by the k r g president and head of the k d p party Massud Barzani said the withdrawal of peshmerga was because of unilateral decisions made by some officials the peshmerga general command is blaming this incredibly quick withdrawal of peshmerga fighters from these territories as being as a result of what it describes as historical treason by some senior members of the p u k party one former senior aide to the p u k has called for a Transitional Government and says more constructive channels of dialogue should be set up with baghdad after the iraqi army has taken so much control of territory that the k r g was hopeful would be part of a future independent kurdish state president barzani is facing one of the biggest political crises of his life charles stuff at aljazeera north of erbil. The u. S. Played a key role in to removal of beisel from morocco with President Trump claiming credit for changing the attitude of the military but exactly what role the u. S. Will take in the rebuilding of syria and iraqi is still unclear our state Department Correspondent roslyn jordan has more than four months of ammunition airstrikes and bloodshed. The payoff isis socalled capital of iraq is practically in the control of syrian arab and kurdish fighters with a healthy assist from the u. S. Led military coalition there still is fighting left there but there is also training that continues with Iraq Internal Security force some of that training also includes you know very very aptly the counter i. E. D. Training which is allowing them to help remove some of these explosive remnants of war u. S. President donald trump quickly claimed credit for the success of the campaign saying his guidance quote has totally changed the attitudes of the military i totally changed our military i totally change the attitudes of the military and they have done a fantastic job the isis is now giving up it seems that winning the war against me turned out to be the easy part the Obama Administration would only support those Syrian Opposition fighters who were willing to fight eisold not take on the Assad Government and in iraq they were dealing with kurds who felt that they should get an independent state in exchange for taking up arms against the group now its up to the trumpet ministration to figure out how or whether it should be involved in shaping the peace in both countries the u. S. Has said before its not in the business of nation building a point the state Department Spokesperson repeated on tuesday is to restore basic services that is our plan its not the sort of the nation building that the u. S. Government previously engaged in in other. Countries right now we see our role as getting the basics up and running and then eventually turning it over to some to other countries and to that host country if you will a long time u. S. Diplomat says the trumpet ministration has both the will and the diplomatic and economic tools to help iraqis and syrians rebuild their countries but James Jeffrey questions whether the white house will seize the moment as long as there is one isis jihadi fighter out there there will be a temptation to say lets continue doing what works rather than get into this very complicated other stuff where we dont have guidance from above and therefore as the same group of people are working on all of these things you tend to go with whats working doing the easy thing at a time when iraqis and syrians may be expecting the u. S. And its allies to help them do the harder thing return their countries to being viable states rosalyn jordan aljazeera at the state department rescue operations continue in somalias capital for those still missing after the war still bomb attack in the countrys history more than three hundred people were killed by a suicide truck explosion on saturday somalias president has blamed al shabaab for the attack he sold out there that his country cannot fight the armed group on its own and has appealed for International Help mohammed the reports now from market issue.

Responsibility to be claimed but this is their fingerprint this is what they have. Strongholds are concentrated largely in Southern Somalia with significant presence in many rural. Somali troops and African Union peacekeepers have been steadily taking back territory from al shabaab in recent years but the loss of territory has not been enough to stop the fighters from cutting out there talks the president has this warning for the International Community if they succeed here there are easier to.

Adaptations by the animals themselves that allow these rain shifts to take place the first armadillos appeared in the United States in the eight hundred fifty s. In texas and had been spreading ever since it took one hundred fifty years for the armadillo to reach this far north of mexico but now its one immigrant that seems to be expanding throughout north america one reason may be that unlike further south where its preyed upon by bob cats and humans for food here it has only one major predator the car.
