Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has met with high-ranking military commanders as government troops are preparing to launch a multi-pronged operation to liberate Hawijah town in the oil-rich northern province of Kirkuk from Daesh Takfiri terrorists.<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

\n\t\u201cThe commander-in-chief of Armed Forces\u00a0paid a visit to the town of Makhmur\u00a0today, supervised the mobilization of forces, and learnt about plans to purge areas east of the Tigris River, the western countryside of Kirkuk and Hawijah from terrorists,\u201d Iraq’s\u00a0Kurdish-language Rudaw\u00a0television network cited a statement published by Abadi\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

\n\tAddressing reporters during a weekly press briefing in Baghdad on September 6, Abadi stated that government forces, in full cooperation with Kurdish Peshmerga fighters, would soon launch an operation to liberate Hawijah.<\/p>\n

\n\tDaesh terrorists took control of Hawijah after capturing Mosul and several other Iraqi cities in mid-2014.<\/p>\n

\n\tHawijah is one of four Iraqi towns still controlled by Daesh. The other three towns of al-Qa’im,\u00a0located nearly 400 kilometers northwest of Baghdad near the Syrian border,\u00a0Anah\u00a0and Rawa are in Anbar province.<\/p>\n

\n\tMakhmur\u00a0lies in Iraq\u2019s semi-autonomous Kurdistan region, and Abadi\u2019s visit to the town comes only a few days before an independence referendum that has seen strong opposition from the Baghdad government, Iran, Turkey, Syria, the United States and the United Nations.<\/p>\n

\n\tAbadi has formally demanded suspension of the upcoming vote. The demand came after Iraq’s Supreme Court on Monday ordered the deferral of the September 25 referendum to examine whether such a poll would be constitutional.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Saturday, the Iraqi prime minister said Kurdish authorities were \u201cplaying with fire\u201d by planning to hold the independence referendum.<\/p>\n

\n\tElsewhere in the western Anbar province bordering Syria, Iraqi security forces liberated a district in the town of Anah.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe media bureau of the Joint Operations Command (JOC) announced in a statement that members of the Federal Police Force had taken control of the town’s al-Abbasiein neighborhood.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
