Volunteers from Mosul youth are trying to bring life back to their city
29/5/2018 12:00 am [rtl]Verses Basma / translation / Anis al - Saffar has created a group of university students Iraqis themselves to the cause of fighting for it amid the ruins of Mosul. These students worked hard to save the rest of Mosul's rich heritage, as well as removing rubble and delivering relief supplies to a city that was recovering after its fierce war against "Dahesh." The project began when Raghad Hamoudi and a group of her fellow students decided to launch a campaign to help build the central library at the University of Mosul, which was bombed and shelled during the war. Under the layers of burning ash, students discovered nearly 30,000 unsafe books. Nearly 40 days later, these students kept moving the books, exploiting the holes left behind by the missiles and shelling to carry those books to a safe place while the war was wasted on the other side. Raghad, a 25-year-old nursing student, says: "An entire city, with all its past, with all its glorious history, has been robbed of its heritage and culture ... the tomb of Prophet Younis. How great it is to be able to save even part of that heritage. " The Hadaba Lighthouse, part of the 12th-century Grand Mosque of Nuri, the site of the terrorist Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the so-called" State Caliphate "in 2014, and the tomb, which is believed to be the tomb of the prophet Younis, both destroyed during the military campaign to restore the city. Raghad says that among the books she has succeeded in saving are the manuscripts of her plan. Some of the copies are written in the distinctive dialect dialect of that region, once known as a center for Islamic studies, which boasted of its mosques, churches and ancient archaeological buildings. Revolution from the inside Elsewhere in the city, volunteers are clearing debris, rubble and garbage, opening roads, digging wells for water and distributing relief supplies. "The situation in Mosul is much better now and the credit for this revolution that has emerged from inside Mosul and in its youth," says Raghad. "After living under strict" preaching "authority and then the war to restore the city that followed, young women feel that they have already been liberated. The group that worked to save the books is mixed with young men and women, a rare case in the community of Mosul where the mixing of the sexes outside the family or university is a very limited phenomenon even before the advent of "Daash". "He broke an unimaginable barrier," says Raghad. "It may have been easy for the rest of the world, but it's a great thing in Mosul." Months after Iraq declared full control over the city, this life has been fought in many parts of the city. But most of the old city, where the last bloody battles took place, is still rubble on rubble. "Most of the people have returned to their neighborhoods after the rubble has been removed, despite their poverty," says Zia al-Tahir, one of the people who is rehabilitating their homes. But entire areas are still completely deserted. In those areas, the bodies are still rotting under the rubble. "Poverty may be worse and worse than a hardship," says Dia, 30. "If the city stays that way, if the poor can not find what they are doing, they may do anything." Zia adds that his goal Is to rehabilitate 1000 houses, to date complete 75 houses, based on donations from local residents only. "They took all their belongings to where they were sold and then they used their money for charity." Miraculously survived by Marwa al-Jubouri, a 25-year-old divorced woman, she was Among the first volunteers as soon as she managed to survive with her family. "We survived a miracle, and since then I have refused to stay at home and refuse to be silenced by anyone. I have not been silent since then," says Marwa, explaining that she must overcome the stigma of being a woman and divorced before she can do anything. Marwa focuses her activities on childcare and coordination assistance to find outlets through which medical care and equipment can be delivered to needy families. For this purpose, the team opened a yard formerly used as a training camp for terrorists who had remained in the city for three years . "People will still need help to overcome their minds, even after the reconstruction of Mosul ," says Marwa, who is still haunted by ghosts and images from her escape . Says: " The city must go back and play in the end , even if it took 1,000 years, but when the mind gets devastated the city itself will be lost and with it lost any hope restored."
