ISIS loses control of Iraq oil

[Lion Heart 15,041]

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – Following the recapture of Shargat and Qayyarah – two oil-rich towns in northern Iraq – by the Iraqi army, the Islamic State (ISIS) no longer holds an oil well in Iraq, forcing the terrorist group to rely on other resources as it suffers from a lack of fuel.
 
For the past two years, ISIS operated several oil wells in Iraq, selling some of the oil as well as using it to fulfill their internal needs.
 
The Iraqi armed forces drove the last nail into the coffin of ISIS’ oil resources in Iraq when they retook the oilfields of Shargat and Qayyarah, leaving the militants unable to produce oil in Iraq and unable to smuggle oil out of Iraq and for sale.
 
“Iraq is no more a home to oil for ISIS. Not only is the group unable to sell oil, but also they want to buy it in order to maintain its activities,” said Dr. Bewar Khinsi, an economic adviser to the Kurdistan Region’s intelligence agency.
 
There is now very little oil in Iraq owned by ISIS “from its stores in its controlled areas, notably Hamam Alil, which they take advantage of for their refineries,” he suggested, referring to a town which is in northern Mosul.

Although I dislike their methods on how they run their country, but at least they're not slaughtering other countries for their goods. It's not their fault their country is blessed with oil.

Well Saudi Arabia is almost as bad as IS (look up the war in Yemen and wahhabism as state ideology/religion for example).. but I understand why the US is okay with Saudi Arabia because the royalty there is actually less ultraconservative than the general population.

Uugh 😞 yeah what's happening in Yemen is really unfortunate, as what's happening in Syria. I've rode with an uber driver who's from Yemen, he kept slamming SA and the whole gulf region who's taking apart in the Yemen war, specially when he knew I'm from Oman, nothing was directed at me +my country, since Oman is the only country in the region that didn't take apart in the war, which sparked an outrage, they almost kicked us out from the union (but that's another story); but looking at it now I'm grateful we didn't, we have a good ties with everyone. 

When you look in Saudi Arabia & Russia (regarding to Syria) perspectives they think they're helping.
