Iraq, still a mined terrain twenty-five years after the war
Twenty-five years after the war and five years after the departure of Daech, Iraq remains scarred by conflict. The country is marked by checkpoints and armed soldiers at city intersections. Life has resumed in Mosul, the country's second city and former capital of the Islamic State, where children play in the streets and shops are open. However, the old city is still destroyed, with buildings marked for suspected explosive remnants. These are not conventional anti-personnel mines but unexploded ordnance, mostly artisanal mines used by the Islamic State. Daech left behind a large number of improvised explosive devices, even booby-trapping toys and refrigerator doors. In Ninive province, red and white flags indicate the presence of these dangers, and Handicap International, through workers like Hanin Mikdad, provides risk education related to these explosive remnants.
