Daesh has lost 95% territory in Syria, Iraq
Over 7.5 million people have been liberated: US Presidential envoy to the global coalition
Abu Dhabi - Emirates Voice
Daesh has lost control of 95 per cent of the land it overran in Syria and Iraq in 2014, the US Presidential envoy to the global coalition fighting the terrorist group said.
"Daesh has lost 95 per cent of the territories it controlled in Iraq and Syria since the coalition was formed in 2014," Brett McGurk said in a declaration that followed a meeting of coalition members in Jordan on Wednesday.
"Over 7.5 million people have been liberated," McGurk went on.
The flow of foreign fighters in Syria "is almost at a standstill", he said.
"More and more fighters are being stopped at the frontier," McGurk added.
The envoy stressed the importance of accompanying military victories with political and diplomatic action and continuing support of projects to boost stability in areas of Iraq and Syria formerly held by Daesh.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.
