Yawar said that they had agreed with Baghdad to form a joint fighting force for operations against ISIS, in particular the areas that are considered as gaps between the areas of the two forces’ deployment. Early in May, the Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi, called to activate pre-emptive operations to confront the move of ISIS through security coordination between Iraqi forces, including the Peshmerga. The Secretary-General of the Ministry of Peshmerga indicated that these areas are distributed on a strip that extends from Khanaqin near the Iranian border to the areas of al-Rabiah and Suhaila near the Syrian border. Earlier, it was agreed to form joint coordination centers between Peshmerga officers and Federal Army officers in the governorates of Diyala, Kirkuk, ... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time... Makhmour, and another center in Nineveh governorate, according to Yawar. |
