well the seeing pope francis in the old city of mosul there giving a prayer service in front of these churches that have been desecrated and partly destroyed during the war of i saw was indeed quite a striking image so that one of that. the catholic church hopes will attract attention to really encourage people encourage christians to come back and that's exactly one thing that he wanted to achieve he commemorated the victims of i so he encouraged people to emphasize the commonalities to really overcome their differences that of the christian community which was vibrant in mosul before the arrival of iceland so that those people tend to once again return now that place where he spoke the church skilless where there are 4 churches there one of them is a catholic church another one is an orthodox church a 3rd one is an armenian church which highlights just how diverse that community of christians was before iceland of course some of those churches have been destroyed in iraq partly slowly being rebuilt but as you saw in those images the rest of the old city really still lies in ruins an

war specifically the people who died during the war with i saw and of course his presence in the old city is also in the way a message of support for not just from the christian community but also in the way in direct way of highlighting the lack of reconstruction and rehabilitation that has been place in the city despite the war with i saw having been over for more than 3 years there is still a lot of buildings that are destroyed not infrastructure for people to return to this one reason why very few in fact just a few dozen members of morsels christian community have returned to now after morsi who will be going to the village of product which is in the name of our planes that in the plains are an area that again prior to ice we used to have a vibrant christian community but very few of those christians have returned in part because of the presence of armed groups there and that has really resulted in a demographic change in those areas and to better understand the drivers for that change list let's listen to. the archbishop of to be. if you passed within the same state of iraq through
