The former Christian war hero Husam S Tosh erects a wooden cross on the roof of a house in Karakosch near Mossul, which was used by the IS as a base camp and is used today as Christian party headquarters. The Christian population was expelled by the IS, but many return to their homes in the surrounding Christian villages. Some churches could be rebuilt, so that church services can take place there again. Nevertheless, the Christians are now threatened by the Shiite conquerors of the province Ninawa and the capital Mossul and more and more repressed, so that the Christians do not have good perspectives for a further life in their cities.
