Honestly, I just drove the highway from Mosul to Erbil, not a single person was walking along the highway and traffic was quite dead. The main checkpoint into Erbil barely had anyone there.

I'm starting to believe that the media is making this out to be a bit more than it is.

One of my Pakistani employees has a friend in Mosul,
He is saying that the city is quite calm where he is right now and the majority of his community does not see the takeover as something quite so upsetting.

This clashes with the major news cycles representation of the situation.

It's a bit alarming.
