US forces have left their remaining bases in Iraq as the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIL expires, ending a 12-year mission. Baghdad marks the occasion with four 'Sovereignty Days' from September 30 to October 3. The withdrawal raises concerns about Iraq's ability to defend its airspace, especially in the Kurdistan region, which has faced over 1,000 drone and missile attacks since February.
