US troops leave Iraq

163

The USA take all soldiers out of Iraq. The war against the terror group IS is over now. The mission lasts more than 10 years. The last soldiers leave the air base Erbil. US President Donald Trump calls the exit a win. He says: America goes home now. He calls the war in Iraq bad.

In the year 2024 there is a plan for the exit. Back then Joe Biden is president. Iraq now celebrates its freedom. On October 1 there is a new holiday. It is the day of sovereignty. This means: Iraq decides about its land alone. Head of government Ali al-Saidi likes this step a lot.

The IS loses the war. But there are still small groups of bad people. Other armed groups are active in the land too. Some groups get help from the neighbor land Iran. Experts worry about this. They ask: Can Iraq make safety alone? The USA still want to help Iraq. They give tips and share data.
