Mosul Airport reopens after 11 years of war and ISIL occupation

After more than a decade of closure due to war and ISIL occupation, Mosul Airport in northern Iraq has officially reopened. Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani inaugurated the restored facility, marking a significant milestone in the city's post-war recovery. Once a major battleground, Mosul is now looking ahead, with locals hoping the airport will revitalize the local economy and reconnect the region with the world.
