“McGerk noted that since our coalition was formed in 2014, ISIS has lost 95% of the territory that it once controlled in Iraq and Syria. More than 7,5 million people have been freed from the power of ISIS; 2,6 of a million Iraqis have returned home, and the terrorists have not regained control over a single meter of territory they lost, ”the release of the State Department says of a meeting of a small group of member countries of the coalition led by the United States.
