One of the leader of Hashd militia rebuffed PM Hadi when he said we will retake Ramadi in days and said it is laughable so yeah, not like what the media claimed.Doesn't seem like situation changed on the ground. It appears to be a stalemate in same areas captured by IS weeks ago. There is no major offensive in Ramadi. There are clashes in Beiji and Fallaujah. Dozens of casualties on both sides.
The major battleground is still mostly stuck in Baiji and Habbaniyah.
Why is Baiji so important for IS and vice versa, even when it is small?
It is a major industrial centre best known for its oil refinery, the biggest in Iraq, and has a large power plant. With regards to transport in the area, Baiji is a junction of the national railway network.
List involved in Baiji battle:
One of the Shia militia said the total of 2,000 of their men had been killed in Baiji/Anbar in a month.
