After three years in the Islamic State's hands and five months of a battle led by the international coalition, the city of Raqqa has been retaken by the Kurdish forces of Northern Syria. The Islamic State's former capital is now governed by a woman.

Named by a council of ancients not long after the city was liberated, Leila Mustafa is Raqqa's new mayor. Her main challenge is to attract its residents back despite the hundreds of tons of explosives littering the ground and the infrastructures not having been rebuilt yet. Thousands of families are waiting outside of Raqqa, in a refugee camp set up in the middle of the desert – 6à kilometers from the city.
