Mosul Residents Are Rebuilding The Demolished City On Their Own (HBO)

- Опубликовано: 9 авг 2018
- July marked a year since Iraq declared Mosul to be completely liberated from ISIS - but much of the city is still in ruins.
With the fighting over, the world's interest in Mosul has waned, so too have international commitments to help with the massive task of rebuilding.
Iraq says it needs $88 billion to repair all the damage caused during the battle to drive Islamic State fighters from the country. So far, it's only received a fraction of that - and the U.S. has said it won't help with the shortfall.
On the ground, it means there are still neighborhoods that are ghost towns, with block after block of destroyed homes and endless piles of rubble yet to be removed. It’s estimated that the bombardment of Mosul left more than 10 million tons of debris behind.
For many Mosul residents, the process of trying to rebuild their lives is swamped in dysfunction or bureaucracy - and frustration is beginning to rise.
"The U.S. and all countries who caused this war have a moral duty to reconstruct this area," Mosul resident Bandar al-Akidi told VICE News. "The U.S. paid millions of dollars to buy weapons and missiles to wage war on this region and liberate it by any means. It should equally pay millions of dollars to reconstruct it."

Vice, the technology exists to crush rubble concrete so it can be recycled and used again. Some of these crushers are portable. It would be a good idea to raise money or ask construction companies to sponsor sending some of those machines to Iraq and Syria.
Leads to civil war.
Pedro Rodriguez not funny
They should rebuild free of cost,the "government's" destroyed it,they should pay for it.
Pedro Rodriguez Well, that’s a sticky situation, if we’re dealing in shoulds, this shouldn’t have happened in the first place. You’re right though, the coalition that dropped bombs should definitely allocate money and effort to reconstruction, if the US hadn’t elected Trump, I think we may have seen that done.
This is a very good idea David, I thought the same after watching the video, I've done some research and found a company in Turkey that make mobile tracked crushers. Would you like to work on a crowdfound to supply one?
If they don't rebuild and get employment the whole cycle of young men feeling dissulissionsed and seeking answers elsewhere will occur again
JHayler7 this cycle over there is never ending
ISIS 2.0 is coming and then people will again give muslims and ISLAM the debt, although how we can see now it is not their fault
I was just thinking that.. I believe their biggest problem is not in infrastructure, is the idiology that still remains and will be used as an excuse. These idiologies will work as a cancer to this part of the world and which will serve as a threat to happen again. They shouldn't start pointing fingers and instead learn to look forward and realize it's an opportunity that destiny has given the survivors to turn a city around. I would protote open mind thinking, technology and world competitiveness. ITS HARDER TO CHANGE A CITY THAT ALREADY EXIST THAN ONE THAT IS BEING REBORN. New generations should embrace this and encourage it. The older generation aren't going to do it. Just look at Israel (Wired documentary) what the millennials have done.
this is the goal of america in the whole middle-east havent you realised yet lol.
Its literally comparable to the battle of Berlin. But back then we made sure no one became a Nazi again and we rebuilt their damn country (Germany). But now it seems America is getting a little lazy and is falling short of their title.
As an American, it saddens Me to hear the US isn't giving anything to help in reconstruction.
God bless and protect the peaceful people.
Kevy Moranski we have been for 17+ years now. When the feds finally pull the plug the trillions that we paid in tax dollars will have been wasted
Lmao? Ummmm no God first and second if God wanted them to have peace It wouldn't make them go through this
God doesn't exist
NO, screw God for sitting up there and being indifferent to war and peace.
It's a shame that the government is barely giving any attention to the people or Mosul.
But Russia China India already have look to help Syria
Politically socially economically to help them
China Russia have already started it
@@marcusdanizel9816 Russia is helping but who said America is helping they are chutiyas they can do anything for money
Americans should help fund rebuilding since they invaded Iraq back in 2003 and created the instability which led to ISIS.
Mark Hansen the doctrine of islam doesn’t have anything to do with this, right? Before 2003 Irak was a peaceful, secular, civilized, first world country, right?
Nah we actually helped thier country from a dictator building nuclear bombs so we need to stop helping them because the country is gonna get attacked in another 10 years
You can always be the first donation
And lay the first brick
Cosmin Iancu the feds have made big business out of supplying, protecting, arming, and training populations in conflict zones. These business practices date very far back pretty much to the Korea invasion. These business practices are the foundation for terrorism as well as the countless endless wars and conflicts that our tax dollars and military personnel are subjected to. Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and I assure you all the other places the feds do business. Sure these places might have fucked up beliefs but our federal government operating in places they don’t belong is why terrorism is around. You’re just brainwashed to call a “revolting” populist “terrorist” bc they simply resisted and attacked in any means necessary. Would you not resist?
People marching against all odds God bless you people love you I'm so sorry for what you have been thru. All the soldiers that go there come back with PTSD and depression now think about these small children and woman. May all bless you and you build the most beautiful Iraq .
damn, actual journalism from vice. rare sight
Why don't we help them rebuild. We rebuilt Europe and Japan after ww2?
Yeah well we nuked Japan so ya know...
Jailine Laboy still more Iraqis died in the war
Because u hate muslims
It's not as important as the other countries were

Seeing the amount of destruction, i honestly cannot imagine how long it would take to rebuild things and bring stability to the place. Would it even be possible? Depressing situation tbh
Jijumon M I think it's possible but what I can't imagine is after mosul gets rebuilt will it turn into rubble again....
It's like Warsaw, Stalingrad, Berlin... all over again
Reminds me of when we bombed the city of Berlin to rubble, but we didn't leave it like that, we fixed it. That just shows how peoples attitude has changed. It's like a little kid that plays with their toys but then doesn't wanna pick up the mess they made.
So the United Arab Emirates has funded places for the people of Mosul to pray but not nowhere to sleep or eat. Great fucking job, UAE.
Democracy at its finest
After world war 2, US helped to rebuilt Europe and cull and eliminate Nazis. The same type of initiative should be taken but honestly, this time it should not only US, but there is UAE, Saudi Arabia who also should go up to their respective maximum levels to induce change in this part of the world and there should be army like NATO of middle East to maintain "internal" peace. If I am right!!!!!!!
Aamir B they didn’t rebuild Europe, they rebuilt the west. They broke their promise to the Soviet Union.
David Ulanovsky The soviets rejected us help
They culled the higher ups, if they purged them like what your saying what happened it would have crippled Germany. In the 50s 70 percent of German judges were former nazi members.
They need a mobile cement plant that recycles the old on the spot and creates new.
how can we help them???
write to your nearest Iraqi Embassy where you reside and voice your concerns about what you see online. let them know that people around the world are watching their lack assistance. It's a shame that such a rich country would leave such great city in shambles. They should be making it as easy as possible for the residents to file claims for assistance. It's doesn't look like it sadly. PATHETIC bunch of CORRUPT politicians running the country.
Costa Diyar what does them being Shia have to do with anything
the country needs to be rebuilt entirely , nearly nothing remains all the highways bridges were destroyed it is just shocking the difference betwen 2002 to now any progress ...
when the fighting was ongoing i was reporting images from as i got them from different points. it helped ppl get to safety. these images were far inside mosul. :) :)
I AM SO SORRY THIS HAPPENED TO YOUR COUNTRY, GOD PLEASE HELP THESE POOR PEOPLE.
Good on them for taking the responsibility up
India should buy oil from iraq government When iran is sanctioned.
We did buy from Iraq.. Iraq is the largest supplier of oil to India for 2018-19
What is amazing is the resilience of the people we see in the video BUT this was a Civil War that ended in a Stall Mate.... Nobody wins here !
Irakies are courageous people
The USA needs to go back to what they did in Europe after WWII. Finance these people and you have an ally in the area.
Now U.S fresh target in 2019 is VENEZUELA
Yess true they do this only to every oil countries
There's no reason why we shouldn't be helping more. Especially the areas we actually bombed
i think the world should them to rebuild the city , and make a better life for people who has to live in that situation .
Say no to war
THESE POOR PEOPLE HOW ON EARTH DID THIS HAPPEN.
It’s the US’ fault. They invaded and created the power vacuum.
Russia China India have come to help syria
It's time to rebuild Syria
China & India can help it get infrastructure and other stuff
India China can change Syria
For both of us 1 billions easy to give to Syria
All i want new modern Syria and many people returning back to Syria
Love from India 🇮🇳
It will but America is coming in middle see what happen in Iran
How can any of US help?... How can humans leave other humans like this, regardless of where they’re from and who they are?
the problem is this : Mosul was predominantly Sunni population. So, as has been the case since the Shia are in control for the govt. , The Shia districts get all the money easy and fast to rebuild. And the Sunni districts are left to last on the list if even they get anything . It'll never end... Tit for Tat ... getting even/revenge/payback whatever you want to call it.... been going on for centuries
What about a small Marshal Plan like program?
IMO Nato should've invaded Iraq back in 2015. Fighting alongside the Peshmerga and the Iraq army. The war would've been different since the technology available to the NATO soldiers is better and now Mosul would be better since they would've started clearing the city of explosives.
Benevolent UAE,donating money to rebuild Mosul.God bless
I don’t know if you guys know this but We as Americans gave them lots of money back when USA and the Middle East were friends. They built highways and many cities just like this with our tax money. Some history for y’all.
From Bush senior over his junior till Obama, Iraq was only a playground to test new weapons and sell the old ones. After this awful game and devastation of Iraq is time to pay back money for reconstruction. Not only for buildings. They are responsible also for recovery of humans they "collateraly" have destroyed. This cost much more.
America should also help them in rebuilding back their country!!! Atleast financial help from America will do good!!
A friend named maseei used to live in Afghanistan but moved to California he has story's of shooting the bad guys which we thing were fake but we would never knew for sure
From Afghanistan to California?Did he had a choice?😄
i am very sad for the old buildings of Mosul and Aleppo
War will never end
We have provided some help over there.... maybe not enough but still a little. We need to help more. But they also need to help themselves sometimes. But I agree 100% we should be helping rebuild a country that we HELPED destroy. We didn't completely destroy it on our own. There was a Russian war there and many civil wars. We can't be blamed for all of it
Goodluck with that though 👍
why waste so much resources clearing the rubble? build a new city 5 miles
What if ISIS decides to help Mosul rebuild its infrastructure for utmost allegiance to the cause, what then? Hearts and Minds
Blame the Bush family for all of this
I do think any country that has caused damage in that area should be obligated to help fix it
Dude that is alot....its going to take forever to rebuild all that..maybe years or centuries...can't they reuse concrete rubble and melt metal wires and build new houses and buildings...that why they won't have to spend money buying new concrete and instead use the money to pay the people that will do all the rebuilding
Work hard and rebuild .
this is a great opportunity for china to come in to make a new friend that has a lot of oil. China is has plenty of experience at building cities and this time they won't be ghost cities
Soo women didnt left and lived trough the war but men went to Europe seems fair...
Russia should help both Syria and Iraq as best as they can. Also they should establish the needed security so that there won't be any of this again.
In return Syria and Irag shall help Russia with whatever they can, Soldiers, Oil, Food, Export, Import.
Trump did say no nation building.
I guess it was surprisingly literal.
I wonder if many of the churches will be rebuilt if any at all
All war happen against innocent people
What about the 30k+ martyrs from the South of Iraq who went to the north to clean it up from ISIS and who now have no recognition or pay for their sacrifice? or are the sunnis always the victims?
gibson
Mosul is in the far north of iraq
It's amazing how there's politicians, lawyers, professors, KGB, CIA, spies, side bitches, and presidents in the comment section
Everything is for god .. where is ur god .. i think they are blind
THE BRUNT OF WHAT HAPPENED IS ON ISIS BACKS NOT AMERICA YOUR LUCKY WE HELPED YOU OUT AS IT IS
Americans caused most of this damage.
GET A GRIP ISIS DID MOST OF THE KILLING THEY HAD PLENTY OF WEAPONS TO
yea and its sad that obama supported isis at 1 point
Very angery man / minecraft is CoOl they killed 700k us and isis killed 50k and us bombed shit ton of stuff
Demolished by?? Say that again!! The demolishers had billions for bombing but not a single penny for reconstruction!
Who's your Baghdaddy?!
Thank you 2:58
Good job Hillary and Obama!!! Iraq celebrates your bravery!
i was able to witness a sniper shot from across the square. do you understand this is all enabled and given under technology. voice and image technology was operational. :) :). i can go on and on. :)
Good for them.
I do believe the US Government should contribute at least something Lol Look at what they're riding in! :P
If you used a God for war they have also God to answer to make it war...
This is so sad and heart-breaking. The hell with the U.S. and Daesh.
USA helped iraqi army drive out isis.
US has done more than enough.
It is the moral duty of the people to come back to mosul and rebuild it.
Just demolish the city and call it a day
I like these videos instead of the garbage leftist crap. Keep these videos coming.
or the propaganda brought to you by the right.
Iraqi race is so beautiful.
ALLAHUEKBER DUSMANI 🤲☝️✌♥️
America should pay for Mosul’s reconstruction but not by that guys logic. We should pay for it because we’re decent human being who can easily afford it not because we started the war or because our air strikes caused the damage. We didn’t cause ISIS to come about, in the 2000s we caused causes of ISIS’ emergence in part but not in whole. ISIS came about because of Iraqi sectarianism, lack of loyalty to the central government and corruption. Did the US worsen these issues? Yes, but we didn’t make ISIS impose medieval rule in Mosul and we were asked by Iraq to conduct air strikes.
its really rare to see a sane person on youtube, everyone seems to be some kind of conspiracy freak, but its always easier to point into others direction and somehow it has become a trend to blame the US for everything that happens
I just love the comments: "the US should do this... the US should do that..." why don't you do something? take YOUR money and donate it so they can rebuild the city. Why do the Americans need to pay for that and not you?
EDIT: and what more annoying is those 2 guys. The US came for a military aid, nothing else. Without their "million dollar weapons" (which you government didn't have) you wouldn't have a city to rebuild.
because your country destroyed iraq and stole its natural resources...? iraq had no terrorism problem at ALL, and we had no sectarianism.
we had free healthcare, free education, cheap housing. can you, as an american, say the same?
The destruction was the result of American airstrike.😑
I feel like you have not served in an army so let me explain this to you: First of all, no country just walks into another and start bombing... the airstrikes the US performed are by explicit request of the Iraqi military so if there is anyone to blame it's the Iraqi military that requested those airstrikes exactly at those houses. Second, I'm not an American so my country didn't bomb anything in Iraq. I just can't handle the fact that almost everyone want the "American money" like it's a money factory. That money comes from the American people and those people don't need to pay for shit.
No one will help a Muslim country to be rebuild not even the other rich Arab countries what a shame y do we have to tell America to help y cant the Arab countries do that without us begging to America or other countries if a Muslim doesn't stand for another Muslim so y to blame others
america needs to send their army to clean up the mess those people need more newer equipment that should have PPE and health and safety.
i dont work for any govt although many see me as a right ol pain in ass.
CADÊ O GOVERNO DO IRAQUE? PEGOU O TREM DA ALEGRIA E SUMIU?
Ayeeeee
Iraq can afford to finance military ops ergo it can afford to build a new Nineveh [Mosul] right?
the military is the most important thing they have because it keeps them safe from terrorism , they won't be able to build their country if it's not safe.
🤘🤘🤘🤘
They need to clear it themselves. If they know how to jihad they can also clear the mess they create
Why govement Irad help people rebuiding City...? or call International help USA, France, Germen , Japan, england .. or some nation neiboghhood . Tukey, Iran ...??
Iraq was begging for American help
gotta love religion
Tell that to Christian and the Europeans with their Colonialism, 100 years war, 7 years war, 30 years war, Reconquista, Indian genocide, Aboriginal genocide, Holocaust, WW1, WW2, Crusader, Soviet Purge, Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki etc.
Where else are they gonna live Europe?
Oil is sucked off now destroy the country
Stop USA sanctions
There are those among us who wish to end the Illuminati for good, we are about to have a civil war over this very issue. words cannot describe the sorrow me and my brothers feel over your loss. And if...a very shallow if we succeed. Those of us who survive will help you in the next 2 years personally. I am nothing, I am small but I believe in freedom and peace at all costs and that makes us all great. WWG1WGA
America has donated lots of aid before, we need to do this again with Iraq.
I havent hers bout isis and sirya in like 2 yeara

Because isis isn’t there anymore
Religion of pieces, not peace.
USA responsible for the all aggress!
What they got... Nothng
The US helped the Iraqi army bomb ISIS, now they want the US to rebuild everything too?
Do you know who called most of these air strikes? The Iraqi soldiers themselves. They prefer American bombs to do most of the work which is why the city was so heavily damaged. Not even Fallujah in 2006 look this bad when American soldiers were retaking a city. The Iraqi soldiers are more reliant on air power than US soldiers.
The Iraqi army failed to defend an entire city when they outnumbered a couple of men with pick up trucks, the Iraqi army nearly fell apart when those same guys in pick up trucks rode all around North Western Iraq taking even more territory. There are loads of footage of armor, uniforms and equipment just laying on the floor and Iraqi soldiers being executed by the thousands.
When they were retaking the city of Mosul their most elite unit prefer to sit in the armored vehicles while ISIS surrounded them and pick them off until they panic retreat, so they level each block before they took each step. This is why Mosul is destroyed.
Tuomas Vavrusco oh shut up
And ask yourself why was isis in the first place created? Don't tell me that there were terrorists in iraq before 2003.

There is no rebuilding that city. It’s time to move on I think
Ghastly Grinner ye but they had they support of US financial dollars to help them build their cities back up also they were more stable in terms of government unlike Iraq which suffers from many people reving for power
Ghastly Grinner ye your right it might just take much longer for them tho
Evan Milligan Move on? This is their home.
hi, i'm from mosul. in this video, you only see the old city of mosul. most (like 75-80%) of our city is completely rebuilt and everythings back to normal. however old mosul is the most affected part of the city since ISIS made their last stand here as they were surrounded.
dragon888193ftw if that’s true than that’s awesome glad to see you guys back on your feet stay safe man
The USA destroyed mosul.
