Two Historic Churches in Mosul Reopen After 8 Years
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.
