ERBIL, Iraqi Kurdistan — "Do you think you will come back soon to your city?" asked Ronza, a Yazidi woman working for Radio Salam (Peace Radio), to a woman from Qaraqosh.

"Inshallah [God willing]. Why not return after our houses are rehabilitated? I have two houses burned [by the Islamic State (IS)] but when they are rebuilt, I will return," the woman replied during the radio interview, on the day of the inauguration of reconstruction works in the Assyrian Christian-majority city.
