The battle for Mosul, Iraq began on October 17. After over two years where the city was occupied by ISIS, the Iraqi government has announced an operation to free the city from the grasp of the murderous terror organization. From the onset, the Kurds have been playing a pivotal role in the battle over the city. Over 4,000 Kurdish Peshmerga are approaching the city from three different fronts. On the first day in the battle, the Kurds succeeded to capture 7 villages. The Kurds believe that these days are historic.
“To be with Peshmerga forces during these historic days and to record these historic events is an honor for many journalists,” Kurdish dissident Aso Saleh proclaimed. “Many journalists are at the forefront with the Peshmerga and Iraqi Army. My colleague Keywan Fatahi who is a Peshmerga and a photojournalist participated in the battle. He took some pictures from Bashiq along the front line. He will share these photos with you.”
