Kurdistan24
ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – Denmark will withdraw up to 60 soldiers from Iraq as most of the Islamic State (IS)-controlled areas have been liberated, a Danish official said on Thursday.
“We have now reached a point where we can begin withdrawing our special forces because [IS] no longer has control over large areas in Iraq,†Danish Foreign Minister Anders Samuelsen said in a statement.
The process of pulling out forces will end in late autumn, but Denmark will still have some 180 military personnel stationed at the al-Asad air base in Iraq’s western Anbar Province.

IS defeated, not 100%, but mostly so.
