2017 is now being reconstructed. In 2014 leader abu bakar all baghdadi came to the mosque to announce the creation of the Islamic State caliphate. The effort by the iraqi army and its allies to drive out of the city caused heavy damage and killed or wounded thousands of civilians now 2 years later many local residents still have not recovered from the effects of the war theyve suffered too much and their grief cannot be measured. More than 35000 people live at this camp for displaced persons in the town of hamam. About 20 kilometers south of mosul. Most of the residents are alleged to have ties to iowa spiders. There are a number of orphans and widows here. One of those widows lives in this tent with her 5 children her name is rose. Her husband was killed in an air raid on a mosque in mosul he was the militias in our prayer leader there will says he did not belong to i yes. As iraqi troops clashed with Islamic State fighters in 2017 she and her children fled. Theyve lived in this tent ever since. I was told that the Authorities Say that my husband was a member of i asked why and thats why they refused to give us identity documents they say they were and i asked family what i thought i was 6 watching. It on my own and because we dont have those documents we cant leave the can. We cant go anywhere in the have one in the way that it was for her. Role in her family spend much of the day watching t. V. She herself was not a member of aa yes but the wives and children of Islamic State fighters are paying a heavy price for crimes committed by their husbands and fathers. Omar is 8 years old and hes now the breadwinner in his family well now hes just come home from his job in town he walked for 2 kilometers so hes hot tired fuck you did he pay you know why not he just didnt. Feel of them are you tired of this did they give you anything to eat yet have you eaten at all. No. Those omar talked to grow sure into giving him a bag of tomatoes its not much but its better than nothing he earns the equivalent of less than a euro a day as a workmans assistant. We used to live well. Back then we came here and i started working. Money is all i have. Let me add i want sometimes i think we deserve this but then again my children are not at fault in it. She says they and other Family Members havent committed any crimes. Im afraid of the iraqi troops i dont have any documents and the Authorities Say that my husband was in is. Yes. Well imagine them all i want is my identity papers. Without those documents the children cant go to school. The camp is run by international n. G. O. S but iraqi law applies here. Robert gottliebsen in april the ministry of education announced that schools will no longer accept children who dont have my d. P. Asli but have you apply at the ministry to get them. To do it that they dont theyre registered and their school year long count. The new regulations apply to i. A. S. Families in particular. The minister says we can admit those children. If they dont know the documents i cant help them. These families also need papers to qualify for food aid from the Iraqi Government. Today an International Organization is handing out surplus flour to large families. But the flour could spoil an extreme heat. Families that dont have id documents have to rely exclusively on International Food aid on. That issue at the moment that we only get flour and rice theres no more salt sugar or oil or even whole grains at the dutch are grateful for what they give us but we need those identification papers most of them we cant go on like this and when i go to see the security authorities are they hold up my file and say your husband wasnt i honest were not going to help you because theyre your family and im not that much out of the show us it was good. Raul is fairly comfortable here her sisters tent has some benches and other furniture. The children seem to be getting along well. But omar cant forget that hes the only member of the family whos earning money. Did they pay you what the boss said not till this afternoon. But he said this morning. I dont know he said afternoon. The. Official what are you going to work tomorrow. I dont know. Your moss is a dog he said he pays in the morning in that same as yesterday. So that they hand out more food soon. That probably some flower do you have any left a little its probably spoiled they said theyd be flowers. Right now nearly 900000 children are living in displaced persons camps around iraq an estimated 45000 of them have no identification documents. Countless other children live in miserable conditions outside the camps. Iraqis refer to the id papers as the gold square theyre an indispensable part of everyday life people need these documents to travel or apply for a job or for food aid. To get these documents people have to go to their local Police Station the process includes an interview with a representative of the Security Forces. That can be intimidating for a single woman or the widow of an Islamic State fighter. This is. Still poses a threat. If those fighters are still alive their women will try to help them. We do sometimes insurgents will get new papers and try to sneak back into society. Still change their appearance will shave off their beard or grow a new one. I think these i. A. s families are really dangerous they hate the Security Forces and then a rock all they care about is causing destruction and bloodshed. Of the city. Has long mixtape once controlled large parts of iraq and syria it has now lost almost all of that territory but several 1000 i as fighters remain in iraq and theyre still dangerous. Insurgents have launched attacks on villages near hamam. And they placed improvised explosive devices or i e ds along the roads theres some sort of incident every week. They burn down much of the vegetation along this part of the tigris river. This open land is a Perfect Place for insurgents to hide and launch their attacks. But terrorist activity is rare in mosul its that small compensation for children like omar who work on the streets for very little money. The children often do jobs that no one else wants. That this 14 year old boy and his cousin are emptying garbage bins. Theyre paid by local merchants and private citizens. These children are in the equivalent of less than 3 euros a day. Off i have to make some money. Sell myself so i can buy food for. My family. I. Love our. Soldiers it just breaks my heart to see these kids living like this they dont go to school and they have no future none at all. They have to work to provide food for themselves and for their family theres no shame in working but they do this because they have to. Mark the end of this is so little model t. If you dont pay the kids to empty the bins theyll just fill up at least theyre making some money the city certainly wont pay them well a bit of their money i. This is the knobby yunis shopping street in central mosul. It survived the war largely unscathed. Children also work here for pennies a day. They are the countless tireless little workers in postwar mosul. It is you that most of the kids here orphans their fathers mothers or brothers are dead or they lost their home during the war they dont earn a lot for this kind of work just enough to survive. A little parents are still alive but their house was destroyed in the fighting with their rebuilding it bit by bit and aboud helps to pay for that. Affair a little lets say i want to bet you that it is. But many other children in mosul have lost their entire families. The municipal orphanage has now reopened its doors and takes care of about 50 children but thats just a fraction of the total number. That i. Like for orphans is difficult anywhere but particularly in muslim countries orphanages are rare and although muslims are encouraged to care for these children adoption in the western sense is controversial. They may be the children of i. A. S. Spiders or iraqi soldiers they may simply be poor hungry or homeless its some more sex slaves for the terrorists. But their lives were changed forever by a conflict over which they had no control. And had no idea him when dont distinguish between i asked children and others who dont even use the words i guess that they are children period theyre not to blame. But i. The liberation of mosul was a welcome victory for the iraqi army and its allies. But that victory was achieved at a terrible cost to the local residents. The 8 the parents of the children who lived in this house were killed in the war their being raised by an aunt the youngest child cant even remember her mother and father. The boys all want to become military officers the oldest of them is 17 and he can enlist soon its out of this what if i went back to school so that i could join the army i want to keep my ass from coming back. The savages and theyve taken everything from us they killed my parents. When i think about Islamic State i get so angry that i want to join the army and fight them. As innocent as it was. For some people here the grief will never end many have tried to expunge the Islamic State from their collective memory. Some have whitewashed a black flags that i asked painted on the walls. Deitch the name for i as used almost universally by arabic speakers has been painted on buildings such as this one. Although it actually houses the office of a local elected Government Official called a mokhtari. His primary job is to help people work their way through the bureaucracy but theres so much muscle i need i. D. s for the family and both witnesses and then you can have your disability card oh my oh great ill be back in 10 minutes. I dont want the owners of this house r. I. A. s yet you would buy the graffiti i do so you know its an i as house lies i said doesnt that bother you. That absolutely not i as wrote christian or infidel on the homes of civilians and government workers i know that they started all this while and now were doing the same to them oh i didnt mean to that so you behave like they did no no no i doubt it but its a case of an eye for an eye and 2 through 2 its payback time i see your id card. With. A. Bit of a. Fish and if. The muck tar keeps a close watch on all the official paperwork including applications for the all important gold square documents. Hes especially vigilant when it comes to suspected i. A. S. Families. But its just that if they come in here and try to get new papers but i know them and they wont get any my little. Brother did that these people have to leave iraq even though theyre iraqi citizens. Theyve shed too much blood theyve killed too many people. Do you want someone like that living next door to you. Yeah you want them living in your town believe its just not acceptable in the heart of the pitch. Where you are sure much little of just those dollars but with this Islamic State kill children old people officers and soldiers and we should let these people back into the community but their kids are just like them i ask eld are children still alive now look wish. You have to pay a price for hurting people yeah i think i asked fighters should have thought about that before hand that dilip dsouza should have thought about their children their wives their brothers their family their tribe. Look at the guy but they knew this would be a dead body but if you cant join i ask commit awful crimes that matter and then expect us to take care of your kids i did absolutely not to be a thought oh no. So this mokhtari is committed to keeping suspected i as Family Members out of his neighborhood. But some people are reportedly taking the law into their own hands oh yes im sure there are rumors going around that some whove been linked to Islamic State have been killed by local residents. Who i dont feel old need to do some Family Members fear for their safety to the point where theyve gone into hiding. Weve come to a suburb of mosul to meet some of them we wanted to find out whether they still support an organization that is now condemned by so many local residents. Here opinion of i guess. Im sorry tim touched i thought it was fine to tell you the truth. I could practice my religion as i wished with no restrictions. So i enjoyed my life under Islamic State. Sure things were better back then nowadays everyone gives us a hard time to do that. Without us with felt secure and everything was fine to. Hold our money. The summer no we dont feel safe anymore if i want to go out in public on my i have to sneak out of the house. Does the outline of the car know she acted out of love and trust me. This womans husband is said to have been an i as fighter she says hes dead but he supposedly survived the battle of mosul. She claims to know nothing about is a work as she calls it. And has a good in the way sometimes he said he was a soldier other times he said he was a commander i dont know for sure or mark what i had to the how to he never told me about his work he didnt trust anyone. Else and. The watch and of course his work frightens me but i dont know anything about it so its and im scared because he did that work for a long time. And thats why the authorities are looking for him. Im afraid that theyll arrest me because of him. And i knew i knew what they wanted. So bring back i s. A lot. Of service considering my situation id like to see that. She has a 10 year old son one of the Islamic State child soldiers the lion cubs of the caliphate. They were trained in special camps but i also use them as human shields. Weve agreed not to show his face he suffers from a nervous tic and vision problems. Ive been exercising to make myself stronger. I do push ups and target practice by throwing rocks at bottles. The boy works at a construction site in mosul to earn money to help his family. So far hes managed to escape the security patrols that are constantly on the lookout for Islamic State sleeper cells. Reports say an estimated 20000 people who have alleged ties to i answer being held in iraqi prisons among them are several 100 former child soldiers. What will become of these prisoners. The authorities seem to have forgotten that Islamic States origins can be traced back to a u. S. Detention facility that was set up in 2003 during the iraq war. The prisoners could decide to join forces just as they did back then. Baghdad based authorities have now come to mosul to make sure that all residents are properly registered. The norwegian Refugee Aid Organization that manages this camp also offers legal advice to widows. This mother needs documents for her 2 year old son who was born after the battle of mosul. Just was he born in a hospital or attends to the few that can attend. Just. How many in the family. 7 of the babies are youngest yes. It would be do you work or stay at home i stayed home with the homestead yes and your husband hes dead. Did he stay with you. When they arrived he waited a year and then joined them as he wanted to see you what is it was he wanted i dont know but i applied. For a security clearance from the authorities. Official if you get it do you have the documents yes yes here they are. But show me. That security clearance is called a tab rio it proves that a spouse is no longer legally wed to an i. A. S. Member it gives people who are suspected of having ties to i. A. S. The opportunity to start life with a clean slate. That every a is mandatory even if as in this case the Family Member never actually belong to Islamic State. That here i told my husband dont join them think of our children he said god will protect you. This morning more than 600 residents of the hamam camp are to be sent back to their home regions. And the norwegian Aid Organization cant do anything to stop it. All the representatives can do is keep an eye on the situation because the Iraqi Government has the final say. Critics consider such actions forced repatriations which are illegal under International Human rights law. I. Think that a little bit of this lets go on that and you go as i was on that up ill take your daughter to the top of the i do feel like i go several 3rd place things on certain future disabled and sick people are just being herded onto the bus that its unacceptable. To just accept the i. Dont know where were going now i think there doesnt appear to another camp. And what camp no ones told us anything. So im sure were not just going to dump you someplace. They didnt say were going to another camp they just said youre leaving. This is oficial government policy. But you can ask the authorities to take you to another camp 2 thats not how could i imagine if it didnt i dont know you dont want to leave this camp are safe here there are no iraqi troops here and no ones harassing us they treat us well here thats why we want to stay if we return to our home region there might be trouble i might not listen to i thought it was. Some families have already received Death Threats on social media because of the. Are alleged ties to why yes. In the district of. About 100 kilometers southwest of here some victims of Islamic State terrorist attacks are said to be plotting revenge against the return. That could have deadly consequences for some of these people most of whom are women and children. These are the 1st major forced repatriations from this camp and the Authorities Say there will be more. The gradual closing of the camps is yet another indication that the government is serious about restoring law and order in iraq. But for these families its a potentially dangerous journey into the unknown. Because of the deportation operation the rest of the residents have to stay in their tents that means that omar wont be able to go to work today. His mother is nervous right now everyone knows whats going on outside. If i dont i think of course im scared yesterday i heard that they were going to shut down the camp i couldnt sleep all night what am i supposed to do i still dont have any idea paper aside thats my big problem right now and not revenge attacks. And i want to stay here. So now that mosul has been liberated the iraqi authorities are working to restore order but regardless of where these families end up they are marked for life by their.
