The Iraq War ended officially in 2011, but the years since have been marked by insurgency, civil war and the rise of ISIL.
In December 2017, the Iraqi military succeeded in capturing the last Islamic State stronghold, and violence in Iraq has reduced significantly since.
Barham Salih became President of Iraq in October 2018.
