MOSUL, Iraq – “F--- ISIS.”That’s the message – except with the three missing letters – scrawled across what remains of demolished buildings in the Old City of Mosul, a now-apocalyptic wasteland destroyed by 2 ½ years of ISIS occupation and the battle that led to the city’s liberation. ISIS fighters are largely Sunni Muslims. In many areas of the Old City, not a single dwelling was spared the devastation. The Old City is essentially unlivable now, though a few families have trickled back, despite the dangers of unexploded bombs and the absence of water or basic services. And inside the Federal Police Building, which teeters on the edge of the Old City by the Tigris River, a few young male civilians hoping to return to the city line up.
