Masum, Maliki discuss amending parts of Iraqi constitution

Iraqi president Fuad Masum and vice president Nouri al-Maliki discussed some parts of the iraqi constitution.

It is the time to empower the federal democratic system, Masoum said, reiterating this will help prevent terrorist ideologies from reappearing on the Iraqi scene.

The two senior officials asserted the importance of 'investing' the victory attained in Mosul over ISIS in maintaining stability in the violence-torn country.

This comes as Al-Abadi arrived in Mosul on Sunday to declare victory over ISIS in the city, even as fighting continued to rout the last jihadist diehards from a sliver from the Old City.

The battle to retake Mosul began last October, with coordinated attacks by Kurdish Peshmerga from the east and Iraqi army units pushing up from the south.
