we're all set. to go beyond. the stories that matter to you. whatever it takes. the running next to infer that. you made for mines.

so yes you know we didn't need all the politicians you know and terry the heads of state. woman and they drop their bombs do they ever think of the people that would like. to look into one eye as 5. 100 civilians a just one in this is where their corpses were not buried under the rubble. i i though he this is my wife alia this is dia. this is on a. high on this is a mia why would i. be actually was my favorite. she was just

a child that i saw affection so bad guy in the morning she'd come out cuddle with me i don't know if i did me. i'm not there all day and i'm. going to love them all and almost all i wish i died with them yeah it was i think it's as if we were animals in the jungle but who's taking care of us live here where is the state didn't know what to do with it and that i wanted a disaster happens the people need help i'm a roof over their house and i don't have the house i'm alone in this i know but it .

my done neighborhood in mosul in iraq. this is where some of the toughest urban fighting in recent history ended in july 2017. final chapter in the battle of mozilla when the iraqi army defeated the islamic state. centuries of history reduced to rubble. stench of death in the air. bodies decaying in the heat. 8 months later the bodies of i-s. fighters and the civilians killed with them are still here. traces of their lives lies scattered amid the debris.

the aftermath of war. mines unexploded ordinance. the nightmarish legacy of military combat. rocks stones shattered splintered crushed to dust. the pulver rise remains of human beings. that battle of knows all is over. now what. thanks.

well you know this point. let me say that i guess that you have some. you know it's not him. but. look at this birth certificate these are bodies of i asked fighters that had guys that. see that place over there and there are over 70 corpses in there. that's where. this was a house with a big center. it was occupied by us fighters. there were over 100 of them they all died in just the n.s.a. take over a week to recover the bodies and this to my son we don't find even if we use next

of asia. that they. didn't to bury i asked fighters and the corpses are disposed of along with the rubble and how much for the whole city. but at the end. of life here in isolated us from the world we were waiting to be killed. for 3 years no one came to free us the suffering was unbearable. and i then. have to clear everything all of we have a hero base. this is where the mosque was. how this was my brother's house i live it was this is house yes. this is safe to go in there no it's not mine i'm just not been secured.

that everything was. this was my house it was very old more than 300 square meters in size i got a stem stench is terrible i said. yes but i knew i needed some point you start to forget how good i am a looking for good god has given us the gift of forgetting well i can now you know . every time i come here it makes me sad i stop day i go out keep myself busy help recover. but i can't stay longer than a quarter of an hour you know if i stay longer i get depressed in a savage. is this what religion does i would have been. you know there's maybe.

we have the whole world against the i asked and liberated iraq from its rule. my task was to supervise the work of the governorate of nineveh to rebuild the city and help its inhabitants. the old town was completely destroyed. but life is slowly returning to the east of the city. but yeah to. that. analogy that.

we have looked at in this building it is vengeance. but you know of a university being bombed by ice is this 1. 1000 students and about 6000. professors and teachers. we have now do have it's more than 40 buildings inside the university. little has. the structure what was this is a design for a hospital. that's about enough and doesn't seem any high i was inspired by a leonardo da vinci's famous drawing the trial is interviewing men like to what. i notice is a throne in the spot. in the lineup. it's

a dream yes you know way but this is the truth in the future. but that this it gives hope yet and the hope for for the people of the old city of course it is but as if you were coming to talk about sometime in the future. your. challenges while to pull. without international support will not be able to. this changes. before we need to what are the subjects of projects we need for truth we summarize it into 15 sectors and we put what a project 5000 houses 2nd the project is health health is

a big. i mean to have them out to be cost but those also sort of bridges we could see if we have the $2.00 bridges that this year old so. we could see the cities sewage water out of it on several projects you know those so that are projects for universities for schools i don't think they need to get the budget for the surprise acts. but at least for some of that. surplus. into his city with the teller they thought that to have meant to having. the security back to the sort of rebuilding was so that it's very important i have to the school . here in. mosul remain the largest challenge that we create today government in the united nations worried

that unless that 30 can immediately stabilize the areas we could be a re a margin of violent 3 meant that. most. of the. huge props federal police for the holding for some western mass on their crack that they can't do law and order so they him 5 in the militia and the militia run the checkpoints so every sunni is trying to get back in the west mosul kids around militia says oh no no. the sunni just won't go home if the federal police which is shia and the militia are there they won't go home you have the problem of a political vacuum in mosul we can't solve it so we're going to ignore it and this is this is the scary thing. right here's where they are. because you know what happened there was no golden door for miles but i saw shave their beards put on

dirty sandals and walked out. and they're sitting right there. last year when a real guy john remember them asked people condemned to death wrong from them up when i last run well in their america on america over to over there or how loudly put signs in front of the bodies stating why they were executed. and one old man looks so terrible to him his stomach was sliced open and his guts was spilling out

i couldn't sleep that night and it looks so horrible him. giving me my son was with her. and i was the words can't describe that time it was a dream. and most. islamic state controlled most a lot for years everyone had a son a nephew or a cousin without us. threatened by law 75 percent of the city's population supported i assume there are still many of us here.

a bidayuh scrawled islamic state on our houses. had to then even if you wipe it away people know who the house is belong to and find out i mean our children are not allowed to go to school all their rights have been taken away from them and they can't even get identity cards. and one of them even n.g.o.s turn us away so when what i had i looked at the lot when i went there with my grandchildren who were all friends to get them birth certificates i mean. she had them. and said you see. well i'm going to the lawyer turned us away when she realized who their father was . he said she wouldn't help us and we should go to hell. you know jane but it's not a children's fault or a suburb laziness. then then we're humiliated in

them as our past was glorious but now we're oppressed and. it's unbearable to see these flags they stand for iran and the shiites stand yeah yeah well you had the honor hussein and ali but we're sudanese. you see there are venting their religion they're taking revenge against sunni it's revenge you come. into. mine in. the sleeper cells and i for. the job every day i ask fighters from the west have migrated to the east of the city would be theirs and those from the eastern now in the south of the city they're scattered everywhere and i don't know that we're doing everything we can to punish them but what.

that does with the rest of you just then yellow and then i'll get down. it would only about one of i should have you with. this is us. with the other one of. the. bush this. morning you're. down on the. you're with. a cut and what i. want out of a lot of that but i'll. good luck with the other enough to mean that it's just. that i'll start with what they like with. the.

law but they know. a lamb and one of. the. u.n. agencies have had some difficulties planning the reconstruction effort with the governorate . i'm with you on the island the state has given us this task now we have to take care of it. but the governor it is proving difficult it's very uncooperative. so one half of our race which is the governor and his council want to decide

everything but that's just not possible. expectations being reversed right. 9000 houses. we have. probably around $30000000.00. to repair houses for up to about $4000.00 or house $2500.00 is said is that it. is that because of the levels of damage she said we asked to do this and they were agreed. to speak about made. no no over what the governor claims to have had reconstruction work done in the old town i haven't seen any of it have any of you. i don't mean i don't want to see you doing hard work when contractors you've hired are lining their pockets at your expense that's corruption . and i've been disciplined enough that it is you know we have been informed that

corruption is going on him. and now we're measuring as well as soon as the governor gets wind of un d.p. evacuation work he sends along an excavator to do minor jumps and then claims credit. the money comes from the un d.p. and the reconstruction fund the governor i received a small sum but we don't know where it's gone there is no transparency otome. the. governor runs his governor it's a loan here it's as though there were 2 governess on the. director of the university and of home a surgeon that's been tasked with the rebuilding of a suit which is not a job he's qualified for modern man or more. of the.

last appointment is unlawful and i think the task of the governor at. we don't have any money before when he has a go until fall of the moment and july until now we don't have any money. just. this new evidence today that said you tried stuck in my how could i have and i don't have any money like you need a mom or dad and even. short of corn and if as. that's usually that's a democrat the of any peasant he's speaking of that for me that's usually i don't already have all of the. i'm just on a cell along with a lot of us i am not what i am of this little article about what i think the unknown gene in way. of the majestic stumble the surely. the other yeah that little

bit of the line yet at the moment the latest version of the let me know it's mostly here in the high school english class adolescence my mother might get into a whole us of that and not something out of a lad. in his 100 plus this one yeah well so little of it when i get the saw a lot. of a lot the local i'd be in another job a lot milder be. my last. oh and the over go home on the mobile go most of. them. have been in that side of god out of the. know when. i bet it i lack i say that i got some stimulus of course i never have i just.

couldn't see all this is just lies and deception were told to do this to do that if you sign this sign out of this life it's all lies. assessment what with the mind on neighborhood look like these days if it hadn't been destroyed a shot of the it would be based in light then you are then all of a catherine i used to come here often. it's all not over yet the i asked chapter 7 but who knows what might happen next in the. this isn't how mine should be so many have to get out of here. i mean i have plenty of us no real life and often yes or no lives has been one more after another war against iran war against you wait

one more after another. i know you could have i would build a wall up here that's straight right i don't know. where the bedroom will be out of all any one here when their lives at your door goes there it will make the room smaller. but i week ago i found my son's body under the rubble in the alley behind him and

how we now know he was still lying there along. the line of the line i was on the line on a year ago we could only identify them by their clothes. ollie's soul rest in peace . from the now you know breast pocket he was only. a small this time he was buried there i did it threw me back a year when i thought i had found him long ago and buried him. brought it all back it's like losing everyone all over again. or tried to flee not what about iowa spiders shot at us. i'm sure a few there were 25 of us in this house. fire department. it

was and how many people have lost their lives how many are missing what about the children who can't find their parents or thousands of. items here because of my father members of i.s.i. rested him on january 31st 2017 also sent since then i've heard nothing of them. we will file a missing persons report if someone knows something contact us. i hope we find him. well i'm going to shock. the. father with the look i don't

want my. life. but. the job of. law is not the right down the plaintiff's statement or say when i look at not him the law yes the tightness of our skin what you state on january 27th 2017 the terrorist organization i ask captured my son despite the search we still haven't found him yes. i mean don't know way he is i hereby testify to that. order hundreds come to morning whenever it's necessary though not come up for. your men the one to 3 times a week and it spots or i look bad that's all exhausting. yeah i mean my robot my heart is bleeding yes i've become ill i have high blood pressure

diabetes and heart problems. i like that drive when i think about my 2 sons when i remember the way they walked and talked and as i carry their souls in my heart but there's nothing i can do this way if i were a parent i could fly away and look for them it would you where like the alley. there's no one left my parents died so did my only brother my husband to know where my sons were all my hand only. now i only have my 2 daughters in law and my 2 grandchildren. my house could burn down and i would live in a tent if only my children were here with me that's my only wish it was so my way that i. remember seeing.

the 1st time they were talking if. the plan is to recreate this minaret completely is that their plan is to rebuild minarik. in the same ship of this one so we have think it will probably rebuild in a different location and keep this restored as a memory. place yeah. bricks. but this is the most important thing this is yeah nobody touches philadelphia. this is the old mosque yeah yeah. yeah there are some parts of

it belong still. 1175 i think incredible yeah it's about it had you saw. the no nobody invested. mind. from this then it's all the same it was gray and it blocks gray blocks and you don't know what yeah but you have stones they created. 800 years ago.

or more the projects are making progress but not as fast as we were hoping that one of us. sort of a better to 6 months ago we managed to convince the u.n. to rebuild 10000 houses in the old town to hold them but you know it's all taking too long at. slow process. or even a percent government has not provided any funds for the region on it having. a difficult one to finance the reconstruction of the hospitals and grant loans to the citizens for the reconstruction of that the 2nd him mr john the bridges must be repat and the rubble from the old city removed we'll get off of the magenta most of the team.

sure that shot do you really think the i.a.s. is defeated the find is a still there. i say i don't listen to the news the recessive nation i think i gather. there were murderers in many neighborhoods. and while i mean a danger life is getting difficult. yes a lot of times i found documents belonging to the i.r.s. as to why i handed some of them over to the intelligence service but i kept others off the shovel yet. i should know that this belong to them. and i asked member i'm a day off in my day will come any i have since that day. and i asked. this one to my luck.

i. have found it all in a bank this. are also marriage certificates with women who came from who knows where perhaps yazidi when one mile from the job yeah yeah. i would see myself my revenge or be arrested. and this i'm taking revenge for everything that they've done to us.

and they've got. a lot of those and never let me get me i don't think i've got that i've got out of the job want to go i thought i wouldn't die so. that you can do better than the time. i ask members can get death certificates but they have to pay for them. with. the same with birth certificates if you've got money you can buy whatever you want to. have on your full stop.

but of course our children will take revenge as they grow up their hatred will grow with them. both here what do i want i want islamic state back that's what i want. them is it all from one day to the next deborah he was removed in several places without any of us being informed. among them a down districts the intention was to implement a plan drawn up by a committee of ex-pats and approved by the cabinet of the prime minister is that the way that. it is. and how the whole of it was the most sensible concept for the reconstruction of the old town where all the historical heritage is located.

a bit which 1000 s. that one want to removing one of the yeah it was right here we're worried they're going to take the property from us. well a lot of my don't know what's going to the senate what do you mean what's going to happen to the neighborhood. but no one will be compensated and nothing will be rebuilt. but they said that an organization would prepare everything for reconstruction apartments would be built. for just 30 years nothing has been confirmed but she. said that's what the governor decided without him a committee of experts. that if we are dealing here with representatives of the earth orators who work without

any method who make arbitrary decisions on a case by case basis. well i'm actually coming out is even forbidding the heads of the old thirty's any contact with us and say them half of mana was. men but there was a mud. island problem all through the day of my little. addition of. the silver just keep at it just. be here you're in your piece now fire the poker vision for the list of you know the fate of all days for good and she decision will be all you will introduce put it here to eunice ford's work before. i thank all parties especially unesco for their contribution to be ya know the

minaret in my town that they call her narrate decided to clear the area under rubble which together with the rabo is cooking out a number of things. is an activity that we cannot prevent to happen with this is at present i received the recently as you see is the river front of the cornish and it is a design which was as nothing to do with a vision of their one form of mosul is not traditional it's not you it's just a very hybrid thing that doesn't make much sense which is for national standards is not acceptable at all.

well if you plot well if you pluck a day. although. i was not that. long. was. one base here. this is what. one. so either one let's be honest well you know the most important question is this. i when i say anything being done to rebuild people's lives.

lives i don't. know sustained effective long term measures are being taken to educate and train young people. who've been a. player to further their abilities. or to emancipate women nothing is being done. yet the people of mosul will continue to suffer. and they know what i did was a lot of things lost. their mother they are. through that. lets them you know they are not.

yet. the one who threw for farrakhan's. grow like the other souls rest in peace. with regard give us strength. because we'll look at. the. final answer or. the. long. list of everyone lays the blame on these occurs again from our yes on it's about but who will accept responsibility for all this. vision i want to have

a right to live. in the dump why has mosul suffered. yeah actually i wonder still. puzzled why i was so. how many more months. many more years will it take to rebuild knows. how many more people will have to die before the cycle of death and destruction can be broken. we'll know it will be haunted by the ghosts of the dead forever.
