Reopening of Historic Churches in Mosul
Eight years after ISIS seized power in northern Iraq, two historic churches in Mosul have reopened their doors.
In 2014, ISIS declared Mosul, Iraq's second-largest city, their capital, desecrating holy sites and forcing minority groups, including Christians and Yazidis, to flee.
After the city's liberation in 2017, residents returned to find their homes destroyed and religious buildings vandalized.
A Sign of Hope
The reopening of the two churches marks a significant milestone in the reconstruction process, which has been long and challenging.
A sign of hope
The inauguration of the restored churches took place on Wednesday, 15th October, in the heart of Mosul's Old City.
