EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by Ammar Awad, the shadow of an Iraqi Army member is cast on a wall during intense clashes with Islamic State militants at the southern outskirts of Mosul, Iraq. The photograph, taken on December 12,2016, serves as a haunting reminder of the ongoing struggle faced by Iraqi forces in their fight against terrorism. The silhouette stands tall and resolute against the backdrop of chaos and destruction. It symbolizes the bravery and unwavering determination exhibited by these soldiers as they confront one of the most ruthless extremist groups in modern history. Their shadows stretch out onto the wall like a metaphorical extension of their presence - solid, united, and ready to defend their homeland. The contrast between light and darkness within this frame reflects not only physical warfare but also represents a battle for hope amidst despair. As bullets fly and explosions echo through war-torn streets, this lone soldier's shadow reminds us that even in times of great adversity, there are individuals who continue to stand up for what is right. Ammar Awad's poignant photograph captures both the harsh reality faced by those fighting against ISIS as well as their unwavering resolve to protect innocent lives from tyranny. This image serves as a testament to human resilience in times of conflict while honoring those who risk everything for peace and freedom.
