TO GO WITH: "Iraq-Conflict-Reconstruction-Minorities" by Rouba El Husseini.
An Iraqi Yazidi man stands in front of a building destroyed during the 2014 attack by Islamic State (IS) fighters and the battles that followed, in the village of Solagh in the Sinjar region of the northern Iraqi Nineveh province on May 6, 2024. The area near the Syrian border still bears the scars of the fighting that raged there in 2014 -- bullet-riddled family homes with pancaked roofs and warning signs of the lethal threat of landmines and war munitions.
