Memes, Control, and Lost: FINAL
 ASSAULT?
20 FEB: Iraqi government forces have seized several villages as they move towards an assault on the last area held by the so-called Islamic State in Mosul. IS seized Mosul, then Iraq&#39;s second-largest city, in June 2014, but the group has since lost ground, leaving Mosul as its last major stronghold in the country. The eastern part of the city is already under government control, and the assault aims to push IS forces all the way back to the Syrian border.
