Rudaw reports:

Some families have left refugee camps in the Kurdistan Region and returned to their homes in Snuny, north of Sinjar, where they have started farming their fields.

Whole families, who were internally displaced by the Islamic State, are in their fields from morning to evening, planting cucumber, eggplant, wheat, and grain crops.

Landmines are still a concern, however. A local official noted that only some of the land has been cleared of the explosives.
