What is homecoming like when you find out that ISIL lived in your house? Returning Iraqis tell us their stories.
It's an ongoing and bloody military campaign, raging since early 2014, as Iraqi and Kurdish forces, supported by an international coalition, continue the fight to root out and eliminate the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant group from Iraq.
Mosul was one of ISIL's first power grabs and critical footholds in Iraq. After over two years under their control, they are now slowly being pushed out from the area and other surrounding villages, and citizens are beginning to return.
Selim and Saadia are a Yazidi couple who fled their home with their four daughters. They had heard news of what ISIL, known as ISIS, did to other Yazidis, especially in Sinjar, where scores of women were raped and killed.
