Iraqi girls walk back from school in west Mosul on July 12, 2017 after the government declared it had driven the Islamic State (IS) group jihadists from their one-time top stronghold.
Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar Al-Abadi announced in Mosul earlier in the week that the campaign had ended with the defeat of IS in the city, hailing “a victory over darkness, a victory over brutality and terrorism”. / AFP PHOTO / FADEL SENNA (Photo credit should read FADEL SENNA/AFP/Getty Images)
