\n\t\t\t\u201cSince our coalition was formed in 2014\u201d, the Daesh terror group \u201chas lost 95 percent of the territory it once controlled in Iraq and Syria,\u201d Washington’s envoy to the coalition, Brett McGurk, said late Wednesday, following a meeting in Jordan.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tHe noted that so far more than \u201c7.5 million people\u201d had been liberated from the grips of Daesh during the past three years, adding that the terror group\u2019s finances were also \u201cat their lowest levels to date.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tDaesh started its campaign of terror in Iraq and Syria in 2014 and swiftly seized a territory roughly the size of Britain after declaring a cross-border \u201ccaliphate.\u201d It also managed to radicalize and recruit thousands of people, mostly youngsters, from a number of countries and turned them into ruthless militants. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tHowever, the terror group\u2019s initial swift expansion gradually stopped a year later, and it began losing ground to government troops, backed by Russian airstrikes, in Syria and the armed forces, backed by the Popular Mobilization Units (PMU), also known by its Arabic name Hashd al-Sha\u2019abi, in Iraq. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tMosul, Iraq\u2019s second largest city and Syria\u2019s northern city of Raqqah, which were used to be Daesh\u2019s de facto capitals in the Middle Eastern countries, were fully liberated in July and October this year respectively. The liberating forces in both countries are now combating the terror outfit to free the last remaining localities from its grips.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe US-led coalition of 68 nations has been conducting airstrikes against what are said to be Daesh targets\u00a0inside Syria since September 2014 without any authorization from the Damascus government or a UN mandate. Such air raids began in Iraq in August of the same year.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe military alliance has repeatedly been accused of targeting and killing civilians. It has also been largely incapable of fulfilling its declared aim of destroying Daesh.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has recently said that a total of 42,234 documented airstrikes in the country resulted in a minimum estimate of some 7,000 civilian\u00a0deaths by the US-led coalition between 2014 and 2017.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tSyria has time and again expressed its strong opposition to the presence of unwelcome US-led coalition within its borders, calling on the United Nations to prevent the so-called military alliance from continuing its operations in the Arab country.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tOn October 4, the Syrian Foreign Ministry, in two separate letters sent to UN Secretary General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres and UN Security Council rotating President Fran\u00e7ois Delattre, criticized the international community\u2019s silence vis-\u00e0-vis US atrocities in the Arab country.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tRussia said recently that the US wiped the city of Raqqah \u201coff\u00a0the face of the earth\u201d with carpet bombing in the same way the\u00a0United States and Britain bombed Germany’s Dresden in 1945.<\/p>\n
