Shafaq News / Mosul deputy commissioner, Zuhair al-Araji, resigned from his post today.
Al-Araji said in a press conference today, "it is time to make space for others to work", noting that there was an agreement for him to be deputy commissioner for only one year following Mosul's liberation from ISIS.
