Season’s Greetings — and a Personal Update from Mosul Eye

As the year draws to a close, I would like to extend my warmest wishes to everyone, across all traditions and celebrations, for a peaceful end of the year and a hopeful New Year ahead.

For many years, Mosul Eye was written under the pressure of urgency — to document, to bear witness, and to ensure that what was happening in Mosul under ISIS rule would not disappear into silence. During that time, there was little space to step back and tell the full story behind the reporting itself.

I am grateful to finally share that I have now found the time and distance needed to write that story.

In the coming year, my book, Mosul Eye, will be published, telling the full account of how the project began, what it meant to document life under occupation, and how history, memory, and resistance intersected during one of the darkest periods of Mosul’s modern history.

The book will be released next year, and it is now available for pre-order.

Thank you, as always, for reading, supporting, and believing in the importance of truth, memory, and historical record.

Wishing you all peace, health, and hope in the year ahead.
