Prime Minister Theresa May called the bastion’s fall “ a historic milestone” in the fight against ISIL, and said the British government remained “committed to eradicating their poisonous ideology”. “They fought the terrorists with determination for our security.” United Kingdom I pay homage to our partners and to the armies of the international coalition, of which France is part,” Macron said on Twitter. “Syrian Democratic Forces have announced that Daesh’s last stronghold has fallen. President Emmanuel Macron said a source of potential violence had been “eliminated” but warned that “the threat remains and the fight against terrorist groups must continue”. “While we have completed the territorial defeat of ISIS in Syria and Iraq, we still have much work to do to achieve an enduring defeat of ISIS … ISIS remains a significant threat in the region, (to) the United States and our partners and allies,” he added. “We congratulate the Syrian people and particularly the Syrian Democratic Forces on the destruction of ISIS’s fraudulent caliphate,” said Roebuck. Trump says ISIL is defeated and out of Syria, but is it? (02:03) Meanwhile, William Roebuck, the State Department’s deputy special envoy to the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS, hailed the demise of ISIL as a “critical milestone”. “While on occasion these cowards will resurface, they have lost all prestige and power,” he said, adding “they are losers and will always be losers”. “Think instead about having a great life.” “To all of the young people on the internet believing in ISIS’s propaganda, you will be dead if you join,” Trump said in a statement. President Donald Trump said that the US will “remain vigilant against ISIS by aligning global counterterrorism efforts to fight” the armed group “until it is finally defeated”.
He also called on Damascus to “start practical steps to reach a political solution based on the recognition” of autonomous institutions and of the SDF’s special status.Ĭommenting on the battle against ISIL, he said that a “new phase in the fight against terrorists” is beginning, adding that the target was now to eliminate the group’s “sleeper cells”. “We call on the central government in Damascus to prefer the process of dialogue,” Mazloum Kobane said in a statement. The top military commander of the SDF urged the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to choose the path of dialogue after ISIL’s military defeat, as he announced a “new phase” in the conflict. Here’s the initial regional and international reaction to the news of the fall of ISIL’s last bastion. Yet the capture of Baghouz will likely not mark the end of ISIL as a force in the region, according to analysts. The announcement marked the end of a brutal self-styled caliphate that ISIL – originally an offshoot of al-Qaeda – carved out in large parts of Iraq and Syria in 2014.
