Trump Talks About Isis


The United States President, Mr Donald Trump on Saturday announced the total defeat of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorist group in Iraq and Syria territories.

Trump, in a statement by the White House Office of the Press Secretary, said ISIS had been defeated 100 per cent in its former controlled territories of Iraq and Syria.

“I am pleased to announce that, together with our partners in the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS, including the Iraqi Security Forces and the Syrian Democratic Forces, the United States has liberated all ISIS-controlled territory in Syria and Iraq – 100 Percent of the ‘caliphate’.

“Just two years ago, ISIS controlled a vast amount of territory in both Iraq and Syria.
“Since then, we have retaken more than 20,000 square miles of land and liberated millions of Syrians and Iraqis from ISIS’s ‘caliphate’.

“ISIS’s loss of territory is further evidence of its false narrative, which tries to legitimise a record of savagery that includes brutal executions, the exploitation of children as soldiers, and the sexual abuse and murder of women and children.

“To all of the young people on the internet believing in ISIS’s Propaganda, you will be dead if you join. Think instead about having a great life,” Trump announced.

The United States leader noted that “while on occasion these cowards will resurface, they have lost all prestige and power”.
The president added that ISIS terrorists “are losers and will always be losers”.

He further stated: “We will remain vigilant against ISIS by aligning global counterterrorism efforts to fight ISIS until it is finally defeated wherever it operates.

“The United States will defend American interests whenever and wherever necessary. We will continue to work with our partners and allies to totally crush Radical Islamic Terrorists”.
Trump had declared that the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) would be eliminated from its last territory in Syria by Wednesday night.

While holding maps of ISIS’ territory in Iraq and Syria before and after his election, Trump pointed to a very small portion of the map that was currently being held by the terrorist group.
The U.S. leader declared that by the end of Wednesday, “the mission will be complete”.

“I brought this out for you because – this is a map of everything in the red, this was on election night in 2016.
“Everything red is ISIS. When I took over, it was a mess.

“Now, on the bottom, that’s the exact same: There is no red. In fact, there is actually a tiny spot, which will be gone by tonight,” Trump had declared at a press conference at the White House. (NAN)

POLITICS Atiku Blows Hot, Says Buhari’s Statement Inciting To Electoral Violence The Presidential candidate of the  Peoples Democratic Party  (PDP),  Atiku Abubakar , has lambasted  President Muhammadu Buhari  for saying that ballot-box snatchers will pay with their lives. In a statement on Monday by his media aide, Phrank Shaibu, Atiku said Buhari’s statement shows that the  “retired general”  is only showing his true colours and “complete” disregard for the country’s law. The statement read:  “We were shocked to hear General Buhari live on national television threatening to kill people for an offense where no such proscription exists under law. The last time we looked the death-penalty was not a sanction of the 2010 election ac “In fact, threatening people with death in the context of an election is an incitement to electoral violence, which is an offense under that act. “Once again General Buhari is showing his true colours and c...

Eddie Howe blames defeat on Bournemouth players

Eddie Howe refused to blame anyone but his own players for their 5-1 hammering at Arsenal, saying "every aspect" let them down. Howe's men matched their worst away run in 85 years - nine straight league defeats - with a 5-1 thrashing at the Emirates on Wednesday night, having trailed from the fourth minute in north London. The timing of the opening goal, scored inside four minutes by Mesut Ozil, particularly irked Howe after he had called his side "exciting" pre-game, and he said: "They were too good for us, it was a difficult night. We never truly recovered from the start, and it was uncharacteristic. "I don't think we were good in any aspect of the game, with or without the ball, mentality wasn't great, it's been disappointing and we need to reflect on it honestly. " Despite their performance, Bournemouth found themselves back within a goal of their hosts at the interval after Lys Mousset's goal on the half-hour...
