The people of the city were able to perform Eid prayers inside Great Nuri Mosque For the first time since the expulsion ISIS From the city, which, according to observers, reflects the security and stability to a large extent in Mosul, which is striving to rid itself of the destruction and devastation caused by the terrorist organization, which occupied the city in June of 2014, declaring it a major stronghold of its alleged caliphate in Iraq.
Although during the past years, Mosul has witnessed efforts and attempts to rebuild, rebuild and restore what was destroyed by terrorism, which was reflected in a relative decline in the effects of the destruction of the war that appeared on it and its ruins in various parts of the city, especially in terms of restoring its destroyed historical and cultural landmarks, especially the project to rebuild and restore the Great Al-Nuri Mosque. Implemented and funded by UAE The United Arab Emirates and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) within the initiative "Reviving the spirit of Mosul".
But the residents of Mosul are asking for these efforts to be intensified, to be doubled, and to allocate greater budgets to rejuvenate the stricken city once more, which paid the largest tax as a result of ISIS occupation of large parts and areas of the country over a period of 3 years from 2014 to 2017.
The terrorist organization destroyed regarding 60,000 houses in the city, in addition to causing the destruction of regarding 80 percent of the infrastructure in Mosul, and displacing hundreds of thousands of its residents who were displaced to other areas and to some neighboring countries.
Commenting on the situation Mosul Five years following the liberation, Ayoub Thanoun, a civil and human rights activist, from Mosul, said in an interview with Sky News Arabia: "On the fifth anniversary of the victory over ISIS, Mosulis today undoubtedly remember the horrific destruction that their safe city was subjected to, and how, with their help and will, they were able to restore life to Mosul, which is rising despite the difficulties and through concerted international efforts with the efforts of its people.".
Unfortunately, Thanoun adds: "The government’s efforts are still below what is required, but rather weak, as many of the infrastructure and vital facilities here are still underdeveloped, such as hospitals, bridges, roads, and even the airport. The ruins of war and its heavy legacy".
And realize: "But despite everything, Mosul, despite the massive destruction inflicted on it, is rising once more, as we are now witnessing the return of life with strength to it, and the movement of markets, people and trade is reviving, and public facilities and many infrastructures are being rebuilt and developed in it.".
The director of the Center for Political Thinking, Ihsan Al-Shammari, said in an interview with Sky News Arabia: "What was achieved in Mosul, unfortunately, is only a military victory. Yes, ISIS was defeated and lost what it called its capital in Iraq. But following that, nothing was achieved, especially since the government at that time set plans for reconstruction and community reconciliation, due to the nature of the wrong policies of the subsequent Iraqi government and its approaches. For the situation of Mosul, which did not deal, for example, with the donors’ conference that was held in Kuwait, and consequently Mosul and other affected Iraqi governorates lost a valuable opportunity to receive support in the areas of reconstruction, compensation and return of displaced persons, in addition to the failure to proceed properly with the social reconciliation in Mosul that was supposed to take place in cooperation with the United Nations".
Al-Shammari adds: "The conditions of Mosul in terms of services, rehabilitation of infrastructure and building what was destroyed, did not undergo major changes, despite the partial restoration of civilian life in it, and the impact of reconstruction and development operations in the city, especially in the old city, such as the project to restore and rebuild the Great Mosque of Al-Nuri, Al-Hadba Minaret and Al-Sa’a Church , which was funded and an initiative thanked by both UNESCO and the United Arab Emirates, but Mosul remains in need of a comprehensive national revival plan to heal its wounds and restore it".
In turn, Ali Al-Baydar, the Iraqi writer and researcher, said in an interview with Sky News Arabia: "What was achieved in Mosul and the rest of the areas liberated from terrorism, unfortunately, does not amount to the sacrifices made by those areas, especially Nineveh Governorate, specifically in terms of the destruction of infrastructure and services such as hospitals, schools, parks and public facilities, in addition to the spread of the phenomenon of uncontrolled weapons in the governorate, It significantly impedes the implementation of reconstruction and reconstruction projects, the return of the displaced and the displaced, and many development, service and reform programs in them.".
Al-Baydar goes on to explain the Mosul scene: "There is a feeling of suffocation in Mosul in general due to the slow and sluggishness of the rehabilitation and construction processes there, despite the passage of years since its liberation. Unemployment and poverty are rampant in the city, which is historically known as a central commercial and economic center, not only in Iraq, but also in the region as a whole.".
According to Iraqi government estimates, the reconstruction and reconstruction of Mosul is estimated at two billion dollars, but the estimates of the UN organizations and the local authorities in Mosul indicate that the cost of reconstruction is much higher, ranging between 12 and 15 billion dollars.
On the tenth of July 2017, Iraq announced the liberation of the city of Mosul and its removal from the hands of the terrorist organization ISIS, following nearly 10 months of bloody battles that began in the east of the city and spread to its west, causing great destruction, especially in the old city.
