Iraqi families enjoy their time at a restaurant, cafe and amusement park in the northern city of Mosul. Seven years after the Islamic State group was defeated in Mosul, its streets come truly alive at nightfall as residents are rediscovering the art of having a good time. The city was under the harsh rule of IS until the jihadists were ousted from their last major Iraqi bastion in 2017. "The city has seen radical changes over the past few years. We've gone from destruction to reconstruction," says an owner of amusement park. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
