A member of the Iraqi armed forces takes up position during a military operation in the village of Sigariya, near Ramadi city, 70 km west of Baghdad, Iraq, November 15, 2015. The Iraqi armed forces, backed by militias and coalition aristrikes, continue efforts to retake the Anbar provincial capital of Ramadi, captured by the group calling themselves the Islamic State (IS) May 2015. However efforts to date have stalled due in part of lack of training of the Iraqi forces and IS abilities to be resupplied as a result of failed attempts by Government forces to encircle the city, sources report.
