Tien jaar ISIS in Irak: wie ging erop vooruit?

BAGDAD - Ten years ago, ISIS began its reign of terror in Iraq by invading Mosul. Many people were killed in the process. Minorities such as the Yazidis and Christians have received a lot of attention in this regard. Less well known is the plight of the Sunnis, the largest group, who lived under ISIS occupation and were oppressed and killed. They were subsequently lumped together with the radicals by many.

Judit Neurink and photographer Eddy Wessel travelled through Iraq, where they discovered that Sunnis are working frantically to move on from their victimhood and confront the past.
