By Linda Bordoni Amid the rubble of a church destroyed by conflict and fanaticism, Pope Francis on Sunday led prayers for victims of war and terrorism in Iraq s battle-scarred city of Mosul. Mosul, in the north of the country, is home to many Iraqi Christian communities who suffered at the hands of so-called Islamic State fighters from 2014 to 2017. Before that it was ravaged by the war led by the US-led coalition in 2003.   UNESCO Director in Iraq, Paolo Fontani, heads efforts to implement projects in the archeology and heritage sector, aiming to preserve ancient Iraqi history. Among the UNESCO  projects is the “Initiative to Revive the Spirit of Mosul,” the restoration of the Old City of Basrah and of the Citadel of Erbil.
