Latest from #Iraq on the closure of Jeddah 5, reported earlier this summer w @meethak55 + Ahmed al-Salem. In a chaotic eviction lacking transparent communication, cooperation & coordination, it's a remarkable feat that Umm Ali's family has returned at all. https://t.co/BV50YGQNnR

@noormusah @meethak55 This led to his career as a fixer & producer for international media covering the Battle of Mosul against ISIS. Meethak soon published his first independent video report from the frontlines and, as foreign reporters left the region, has never looked back.

@noormusah @meethak55 Both of us found this conversation moving & thought-provoking, and came away with a deeper understanding of what it means to be a Confused Iraqi. 🧡

Thank you to @meethak55 (right!) for speaking so openly. You can discover his work & connect with him at: https://t.co/g4LJllncfN

🚖 “It’s really tough for us [Iraqi youth]. We are young. We want to build a family and have a life and a job, but the opportunities are so small.”

For @AJEnglish series on what money is worth across the 🌍, tracking the expenses of a young man in #Erbil. https://t.co/9skOBsr0kk

[alannah travers @AlannahTravers]

Lack of employment regulations in #Iraq and the Kurdistan Region mean humiliation & exploitation is rife. Mumen’s situation isn’t even close to some of the worse examples of abuse, e.g. for Syrian refugees or Iraqi IDPs, with fewer rights and greater need. https://t.co/9skOBsqsuM

A snapshot of the cost of war in Iraq - not seeking to answer whether the 2003 invasion was “worth it” as the anniversary so often absurdly get reduced to - but looking at how it shaped the lives of six ordinary young people. With @meethak55 for @AJEnglish https://t.co/MHkvktqb8K
