“Let us change a letter
from the word ‘EVIL’
Make it 'Ivil'
as long as 'Israel' remains so…
Let us protect the letter ‘P’
for Prayers..
for PALESTINE...
for Peace..”

“The more division the Iraqi authorities cultivated, the more we worked for inclusion. The more aggression they showed us, the more time we devoted to peace and reconciliation. The more civilians they tortured and slaughtered, the more my instinct guided me to reach out to all segments of society. The more they tried to erase the evidence, the more risks we took to document the atrocities and the harms inflected on humans and the environment.
Because one day, we thought, one day the world will wake up and realize the repercussions of overlooking our suffering, and on that day, the souls of victims will finally find peace.”

beneath the ashes
where all his dreams

“The Dark Cloud
Is the understanding that no one will stand up for you
Is the realization that gladiators can’t make you feel blue
Is the rage that occurs within a person when they have been wronged
Is the suffering of a victim of bullying and rape that has been prolonged”
Aida Mandic, The Dark Cloud
