but in general the sunni still control both banks of the tigris above
samarra
while the kurds have been shadowing them from higher ground & also
expanding right beside them
all down the upper tigris valley as far as the upper diyala valley
but avoiding major confrontations
until meeting the shia & all clashing sharply at the strategic sadiyah
trijunction on the skirts of jalula
which is therefore now a true geopolitical trijunction
but i dont see how the sunni salient over to the diyala valley can hold
against the shia reaction
& am thus expecting the effective trijunction to retreat northwest into the
desert soon
perhaps as far as the intervening uzym valley where it might hold steady
for awhile
especially if the armies disengage
