Together, Anbar’s tribes and the ISF will #DefeatDaesh. @coalition

[The Global Coalition @coalition]

Strong bonds connect the tribes of Anbar and the Iraqi Security Forces. Together they confronted Daesh, and together they work to maintain peace and stability

It takes time but Anbar is rebuilding. @coalition

[The Global Coalition @coalition]

Al-Qaim district in Anbar was the final town in Iraq to be liberated from Daesh. With increased security measures, the borders are well-protected against any threats, and residents can rebuild their lives.

🇬🇧 @ferguseckersley addresses the Security Council in Russian:

"We do not suffer from ‘Russophobia.’”

“We want Russia to be a stable nation - just one that does not invade its neighbours."

“We want peace in line with the UN Charter. Russia must turn off its war machine.”

[Martyn @WarrMartyn]

Leader by leader, Daesh is losing #DefeatDaesh @coalition

[The Global Coalition @coalition]

Daesh’s networks remains under intense pressure, as the Iraqi Security Forces and the Peshmerga have removed from the battlefield at least 55 #Daesh terrorists during the month of February alone.

[The Global Coalition @coalition]

Daesh, unable to protect its leaders, faces relentless pressure by the @Coalition and its partners. See how recent operations have created further setbacks for the terrorist organisation:

[Nadine Maenza @nadinemaenza]

Having been in NE #Syria all week, I agree with this conclusion that the light US military presence is essential in the fight against ISIS and for stability for the region.

Like @Charles_Lister, if you come and see for yourself, it is very clear.

[Martyn @WarrMartyn]

Brilliant. @bbcpaddy

[Martyn @WarrMartyn]

The fight against Daesh is Iraq and Syria has been successful, so far. But it is not over. To #DefeatDaesh and the extremism that feeds it we need #StrategicPatience.

[Charles Lister @Charles_Lister]

After seeing the whole scope of the problem, one thing is clear: the U.S. military presence in NE #Syria remains **critically** important – without it, we’ll be repeating our 2011 #Iraq withdrawal all over again. That saw #ISIS surge across borders like never before.
