Mosul Under the Islamic State: Where to Go From Here?
Thu, June 2nd, 2016
Beirut, Lebanon and Dohuk, Iraq
Two years after the self-proclaimed Islamic State (IS) gained control of Mosul, the prospects for liberation and the city’s future remain uncertain. Whilst regional and international powers are united against IS, two-thirds of Mosul’s residents continue to support or express indifference to their occupiers. How long can IS maintain control? Do the reasons for the city’s fall still hold today? What has life been like under a so-called caliphate? What are prospects for Mosul should IS lose control of the city? Leading Iraqi actors in the liberation effort will address these questions and discuss challenges ahead.
Carnegie Middle East Center in Beirut and the American University of Kurdistan in Duhok brought together a joint panel of academics and experts by videoconference on the future of Mosul. Carnegie's Renad Mansour moderated from Iraq, and Maha Yahya moderated the conversation from Lebanon.
