SHAQLAWA, Kurdistan Region – Shaqlawa, 40 kilometres northeast of Erbil, was nicknamed Shaqlujah when its population more than doubled as it hosted thousands of internally displaced persons (IDPs), many from Fallujah.As their homes are liberated from ISIS and services are returned to their towns and cities, the IDPs are returning home but the ties they have forged after three years in Shaqlawa remain strong.
