John Kerry has reported significant progress in two and a half months in the fight against jihadist organization Islamic state, EI. US Secretary of State met in Brussels on Wednesday with his counterparts and representatives from sixty countries participating in the coalition.
He stressed the axes of their struggle "defeat EI group in the field, reducing its funding sources, pass laws to reduce the flow of foreign fighters and combat the toxic ideology of the group."
With the support of coalition air strikes, Iraqi forces and the forces of the Kurdistan Regional Government regaining ground, the coalition said in a statement. The participants of the meeting are scheduled to meet again at the latest within six months.
But there are a number of key issues that still have not answered for the strategy pursued by the United States against the EI group, says our correspondent: what future for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad? What about the other Syrian opposition forces fighting against Assad? And is that a military force can really destroy a jihadist ideology? This is the strategy that the United States and its allies have used against Al Qaeda for over a decade.
