BASHIQA, Kurdistan Region - Bashiqa has been liberated from ISIS, but few residents are returning. The Yezidi town is littered with explosives left behind by the militants. De-miners are busy trying to clear out the explosives so that residents and life can return once more to this demolished place where ISIS has made a point of leaving its marks by demolishing Yezidi temples.
