In October 2019, Iraqis rose to make an outcry. An uprising. A revolution.
A never seen before roar of hope, courage, social and ethnic unity flooded into the streets calling for a new Iraq.
Since, Iraqi’s have been left alone crying. Dying while trying fighting for their rights and demands to their leaders while the world has been silently watching the government’s deadly campaign of systematic violence, kidnappings and killings in a battlefield resembling a war zone with now more than 500 youths and activists killed, more than 30.000 wounded and an unknown number kidnapped.
Independent journalist and photographer covering war and conflict for a wide range of Danish and International media outlets in e.g. Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan and Ukraine.
Among others Newsweek US, Jyllands-Posten, Politiken, Amnesty Denmark, Middle East Eye etc.
