How an Iraqi Radio Station Helped Save Mosul

Iraq’s nine-month operation to push ISIS out of Mosul yielded bittersweet news this week: the liberation of a starved and terrorized city. Over the past three years, ISIS sought to completely isolate the people of Mosul by shutting off access to the internet and outside media. Radio Al-Ghad, a community radio station, defied the media blackout and risked death to give a voice to the civilian population. Brooke speaks with Al-Ghad’s founder Mohammed Al-Musali about how his heroic team managed to shine a light into Mosul, win over ISIS supporters, and save countless lives.
