The real development that is needed is not directly visible, corruption. Recently it was discovered that some government employees in Mosul channeled millions of dollars to IS financing them internally straight from the gov. As for the mall it is nice for sure though Baghdad being a big city...

Baghdad mall has been opened today

Well looks like the ISF has taken over Tal Afar already too quickly for this thread to become anything big.

Looks to me like Egypt is against Turkey's foreign policy, they couldn't be more right.

Everything you suggested was attempted in the past few years, the possibility was larger when the ISF was nowhere to be seen in the north, it's too late now for any buffer zone or ES type of operation in Iraq, won't happen. There might be a conflict, it is possible. New developments on this...

If finding a governance body of that specific territory is the biggest concern of yours then that would be the KRG, yet you don't address to them that the PKK is your issue, neither do they act to remove that issue rather they(Barzani) state they do not view the PKK as a terrorist organisation...

If it has US approval then consider my post as deleted. But Iran denied it.

They will have a problem with a massive invasion, whilst they are not able to act in the KRG controlled north the US will seize the opportunity to label Iran as invading another state which would be followed by who knows what. Many here underestimate the importance of having central gov...

Iran isn't able to do what was written in that article to start with. How do you expect Iran to deploy that large amount of forces in Northern Iraq which would be met with hostility by both Baghdad and Arbil. The US and UN would not remain quiet about it and label it as an invasion of another...

Thread to keep updates on Tal Afar OP, the last IS stronghold in Nineveh province. Offensive launched 3 days ago, on August 20. Current situation

This is because Kurds are calling in airstrikes through laser designation and radio contact. As opposed to Mosul where Arab forces were liberating their fellow people the Kurds view all Arabs as IS, they literally have no problem calling in airstrikes on civillians. In Mabiji this happened as...

Turkish FM wil visit Baghdad, and Arbil

That aside you should drop the anti-Arab efforts, it won't make the white man like you more. Assyrians and Kurds should learn as well, they try too hard.

It is a show. Joint operation is another method to rally the public with hope, they're focusing solely on military methods in a war against an enemy that is embedded with the local populace. One has to go back to the days before the KRG, pre 1991 and consider PKK activity back then when they had...

They're not wrong you're not reading, in the top image it clearly says "speak one of these 12 languages as their native language." Whilst the dialects differ it is very easy to pick up the few different words and be able to have a full conversation, i'm part of the diaspora and have learnt...

Foreign influence on the PMU is steadily decreasing. Sadr is quite influential and has taken a nationalistic direction therefor he is good. Iranian influence on the PMU has been exaggerated by the west, Kurds are very much behind this as well in their attempts to have the west ditch Baghdad. As...
