When Francis came
Oh it needed weapons to protect the arrival of one single man in #Mossul. But what a man ! The man of peace who, despite recommendations from all sides, insisted on coming to see with his own eyes the gaping wounds of this city that still had so much to say about the history of mankind and will no longer be able to.
It was a few days before his arrival. The entire Iraqi army had landed. In the middle, a few guys from the Mosul police (first photo) - who had spent their dark years of the caliphate holed up in their homes, confined before their time in fact.
