At the Iraqi Federal Police frontline in west Mosul, officers face the challenge of delivering lunch to their comrades on the other side of a road guarded by ISIS snipers.
An ISIS sniper has taken out the line they strung across the road, forcing the police to find another way to deliver food.
Here the houses are rigged with explosives and the slightest mistake could result in massive casualties, but the Federal Police are confident. “Where did Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi go? See where we are now. We retook Mosul. ISIS has ended,” proclaimed one.
On Sunday, the Federal Police held a parade in west Mosul, celebrating their success against ISIS in the city.
The task now facing Iraqi security forces is to clear the streets, alleys, and houses of explosives.
Lt. Gen. Abdul Wahab al-Saadi of the Golden Division told Rudaw on Friday that the area ISIS controls in Old Mosul “does not exceed 600 [square] meters.”
Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi declared the “end of the ISIS statelet” on Thursday.
