Q&A: Zuhair al-Araji, mayor of Mosul

MOSUL - Nearly two years after Mosul was declared fully liberated from the self-proclaimed Islamic State (IS) militant group, the process of rebuilding Iraq's second-largest city is still just beginning.

One major challenge has come from the lack of any consistent organizational authority. There are many entities contributing to the rebuilding of Mosul -- the local, provincial, and federal government; international organizations and aid groups; and various security forces -- but their efforts have not been characterized by centralized coordination and planning.
