The US army leaves Iraq. All soldiers are now gone. The US department of defense says this. A long war ends now. Many people did not like this war.
2500 US soldiers were in Iraq. They worked in Erbil and Bagdad. The US fought against the Islamischer Staat. People call this group IS. The IS has no big areas today.
The government in Iraq is happy. There are 4 new holidays. People call this day the day of freedom. The US and Iraq stay friends. Secret services work together. Iraq makes its own security now.
There are still dangers in Iraq. Small groups of the IS are active. Milizen make big problems too. These groups have guns. They do not belong to the state. They have good links to Iran. They keep their guns until 2026.
