Iraqi police officer liberating his village from ISIS, meets his mom.
This police officer had to escape ISIS advancing toward his village in 2014, total army breakdown and nothing is stopping the advance of ISIS, he knows that ISIS will (at least) decapitate him once he’s captured, he had to go. More than 2 years later, Iraqi forces liberated Al-Qayyarh (south of Mosul) from the control of ISIS, this police officer was among the spearhead force, he first met his mother in more than 2 years and there was no way of communication between them, the mother was sure that her son was captured and executed, the son knows about lack of medication and food in ISIS captured areas and thought his old mother wouldn’t survive this long, these two photos are the first moment between them in over two years.
