| 2020-08-29 |
| [Rudaw] The Iraqi government is trying to remove militia groups from the Yezidi heartland of Shingal and replace them with federal police, the governor of Nineveh said on Thursday, but the militias are holding their ground. Najim al-Jabouri, governor of Nineveh, told Rudaw on Thursday that Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi and Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein have discussed the problem in "international forums." "The Iraqi government has taken some measures in this regard," he said, without going into detail. |
