By Geoffrey Miller After more than seven years, the end is finally in sight for New Zealand’s anti-Isis deployment in Iraq. John Key, New Zealand’s then National Party Prime Minister, initiated New Zealand’s contribution towards the multilateral coalition when he sent 143 soldiers to Iraq in February 2015. To be fair, the number of New Zealand troops deployed to Iraq gradually fell over time. A handful of New Zealand troops based in Iraq, Kuwait and Qatar continued to be deployed to the anti-Isis mission. This may be the end of the road for New Zealand’s military deployment to defeat Isis.
