10 years after ISIS takeover, Mosul regains life with rebuilt infrastructure and cultural scene after 2017 liberation.
10 years after ISIS's takeover, Iraq's Mosul is gradually regaining life, as residents report the city is at its most peaceful in 20 years. Once a hub for ISIS's extreme form of Islam, the city is now rebuilding with new bridges, a souk, restaurants, and a growing cultural scene.
