Iraqi university rebuilds after IS 'dark age'

The university was occupied for more than two years by the so-called Islamic State group - and kept open in a state of persecution and terror.

After such a traumatic experience, and the destruction caused in the battle for the city, there is still much to put right.

"The central library still resembles a piece of charcoal," says Ashraf Riadh Al-Allaf, senior lecturer in the English department in Mosul.
