Russian forces enter former Daesh stronghold in Syria after U.S. pullback

Russian forces have entered Raqqa, the former de facto capital of Daesh, in one of the starkest examples yet of how Moscow has filled the vacuum created by President Donald Trump’s decision to pull U.S. forces from northern Syria, Reuters reported.

What is the Coalition?

The Global Coalition against Daesh was formed in September 2014 and is unique in its membership, scope and commitment. Together, the Global Coalition is committed to degrading and ultimately defeating Daesh.

The Coalition’s 85 members are committed to tackling Daesh on all fronts, to dismantling its networks and countering its global ambitions. Beyond the military campaign in Iraq and Syria, the Coalition is committed to: tackling Daesh’s financing and economic infrastructure; preventing the flow of foreign terrorist fighters across borders; supporting stabilisation and the restoration of essential public services to areas liberated from Daesh; and countering the group’s propaganda.

Today marks the sixth anniversary of the Iraqi Security Forces liberating all the nation’s oil wells from Daesh – a milestone in dismantling the revenue streams from oil smuggling, that once financed the group's violent and repressive activities.

Our #ISF partners continue to target remote areas where ISIS terrorists hide. Recently, in an intel-led op, the ISF conducted a successful anti-ISIS raid in al-Tarmiyah, resulting in the killing of 2 terrorists as one of them was wearing an explosive belt, said @IraqiSpoxMOD. https://twitter.com/IraqiSpoxMOD/status/1573608277476360192
