On May 17, ISIL Takfiri terrorists took control of Ramadi after overrunning government troops.

Last week, the Iraqi army, backed by volunteer fighters known as the Popular Mobilization forces, launched a major offensive southwest of Samarra in an effort to retake Ramadi.

Iraq’s Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi says the advance of ISIL Takfiri terrorists in the region represents a “failure” for the whole world.

Anbar province is the major stronghold of the ISIL militants in Iraq. They also control parts of land in neighboring Syria.
