city: A humanitarian response is also being prepared to help the city 1 million people once the fighting starts, according to Huffington Post Canada. Victory in Mosul will mark a key moment in the fight against ISIL, as the city is the last major urban centre still controlled by the militant group in Iraq. Preparations to liberate Mosul from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant have been underway for months, with the Kurdish peshmerga, Iraqi military and Shia militia groups closing on the city. But Brig.-Gen. Peshmerga forces are seen as the operations against Daesh terrorists continue to retake Iraq Mosul from the terrorist organization Daesh, in Al Kayyarah town in Nineveh Mosul, Iraq on Aug. 15, 2016. "The role of peshmerga, as I understand it, will be to in essence secure the northern flank of Mosul, and to some degree the eastern flank, to allow the Iraqi security forces to move forward and clear through Mosul,'' Anderson told reporters in a call from Baghdad on Wednesday. David Anderson, who is in charge of an international team of military advisers posted within Iraq ministry of defence, indicated the approximately 2,000 peshmerga that Canada has trained in Iraq since September 2014 will not be directly involved in rooting ISIL from the city.
