Kurdish Forces Occupy Ruins Of Sinjar After Liberation From Daesh

SINJAR, IRAQ - NOVEMBER 15: Peshmerga forces take positions on November 15, 2015 in Sinjar, Iraq. Kurdish forces, with the aid of massive U.S.-led coalition airstrikes, liberated the town from ISIL extremists, known in Arabic as Daesh, in recent days. Although many minority Yazidis celebrated the victory, their home city of Sinjar lay in almost complete ruins. Local Yazidi fighters wo fought with Kurdish forces and some former residents have been taking any salvagable items out of the rubble, the town being uninhabitable and perilously close to the frontline.
