Mosul, Iraq's second-largest city, faced widespread devastation during its occupation by ISIS from 2014 to 2017. The city's liberation marked the end of a brutal chapter, but the aftermath left deep scars on its people, culture, and infrastructure. Today, Mosul is a symbol of resilience, rebuilding efforts, and the enduring spirit of its community.

Writing the word “safe” on the walls of certain houses indicates that they have been cleared of war remnants, such as explosive devices or booby traps, which posed significant danger. Many homes were rigged with explosives or concealed suicide belts, making this designation critical for ensuring the safety of returning residents.

I feel almost guilty watching what I think is one of the most impactful and eye-opening channels that there is without supporting you in some way, be safe and God bless from a 22-year-old U.S Marine. ❤

I love how you tried to hitchhike in a place where hitchhiking is not common and everyone is just concerned about you

As a veteran and have been there theses streets still hold stories of loss of life 💔. Seeing the children smiling against the destruction of war is beautiful.

I can see that affected you Mike - you're a good man you are. Stay true to yourself mate. You're a bloody gem. Can't believe you are so mature at 28. I'm old enough to be your dad. You're a lovely guy. Wish this world had more young men like you with compassion, kindness and a warm smile in your heart. Safe travels.

Ahhh Mosul. The people are absolutely incredible, despite everything they've been through they still treated us strangers as family 🙏 Loving the series mate.
