Tal Afar , (Turkish: Telafer) (pronounced /ta.la.fer/), also known as Tal'Afar, Tall Afar, Tell Afar or Tel Afar, is a city and district in northwestern Iraq in the Nineveh Province located approximately 63 km west of Mosul, 52 km east of Sinjar and 200 km north west of Kirkuk.
While no official census data exists, the city which had been assessed to have a population of approximately 200,000, had dropped to 80,000, as of 2007, nearly all of whom are Iraqi Turkmen. In Tal Afar itself, the population is mostly Turkmen, about 75 per cent of whom were Sunni Muslims, while a quarter were Shi’ites. While most residents can speak Arabic, Iraqi Turkmen, a Turkic language, is the most common language used throughout the city. However, in late 2015, The Economist reported that the city is mainly populated by Arabs.
10 kilometres (6.2 mi) southwest of the town of Tal Afar are the mounds of Yarim Tepe which yielded remains from the Halafian culture from the Hassuna, Halaf and Ubaid periods, between 7,000 and 4,500 BC.

Iranian-backed Shia militia groups in Iraq say they have launched an offensive against ISIL strongholds west of Mosul. The Popular Mobilisation Forces are heading north towards Tal Afar, a town with a Shia majority before the self-proclaimed Islamic State overran it in 2014. Lying near Turkey, the area has a sizeable Turkmen population and the operation could cause concern in Ankara. ==Turkey will not forsake Tal Afar's Turkmen: Cavusoglu https://t.co/QGiP4A92gV pic.twitter.com/BjtDc… READ MORE : http://www.euronews.com/2016/10/29/the-fight-for-mosul-moves-closer-to-tal-afar What are the top stories today?

After taking Mosul and much of the north of Iraq in the past week, militant group Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) have captured the northwestern city of Tal Afar. Tel Afar is strategically important: it is located west of Mosul, the north's main city, and east of Iraq's border with Syria. It is also close to the regions controlled by Kurds. Meanwhile, footage released by the Iraqi defence ministry shows air strikes targeting ISIL and their vehicles in Mosul, Samarra and Salahaddin,...

Hundreds of families who fled Tal Afar more than two years ago are waiting anxiously for news that their city has been liberated from the Islamic State group. Recently, Iraq's state-sanctioned Shiite militias started a campaign to retake Tal Afar as part of the campaign to retake Mosul. The families, who are Sunni Turkmen, say they just wish IS to be gone so they can return home. 601 displaced Turkmen families live in the Yahyawa camp, in Kirkuk.… Let the pictures do the talking: subscribe to No Comment http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=NoCommentTV No Comment is brought to you by euronews, the most watched news channel in Europe.
