Iraq
is again in deep trouble. The radical combatants of the “Islamic State of Iraq
and the Levant” (ISIS) are a very serious menace for peace and stability in the
country. Their taking control of Mossul is a very serious indication that the
Iraqi armed forces are not prepared to respond to the challenge. It is true
that Mossul has always been an unstable city in a restless province. But
today´s take over by the extremists of ISIS marks a new stage in a rapidly
deteriorating situation.
The
government needs external support to effectively stop the ISIS progression
towards other regions and in the direction of Bagdad. They should take that
request for support to the Security Council without any further delay.
