The Iraqi government has reportedly removed the Fayida customs post between Mosul and Duhok province, following a parliamentary vote that deemed the customs points illegal and ordered their removal.
According to Rudaw, the checkpoint, along with two others established by former Iraqi PM Haider al-Abadi between Sulaimani and Kirkuk and Kirkuk and Erbil, were a heavy burden on traders.
It adds that the other two customs points are also awaiting removal.
