The Iraqi prime minister, Haider al-Abadi, has vowed Isis will be “terminated” inIraq in the year ahead after the raising of the national flag over government buildings in Ramadi that had served as the terror group’s base in the city.
Iraqi troops brandishing rifles danced in the Anbar provincial capital as top commanders paraded through the streets after recapturing the city they lost to Isis in May, clinching a key victory against the jihadis.
“2016 will be the year of the big and final victory, when Daesh’s presence in Iraq will be terminated,” Abadi said in a speech broadcast on state television, using an Arabic acronym for the group.
