Mosul

Mosul is a major city in northern Iraq, situated near the Tigris River. It is known for its rich history, dating back thousands of years, and was once a key center for trade and culture in the region. In recent years, Mosul gained global attention due to the rise of ISIS, which captured the city in 2014, leading to significant conflict and suffering. The Iraqi military, supported by international forces, retook Mosul in 2017, but the city has since faced challenges related to rebuilding and security as it recovers from the war's devastation.
