It was something very important in my life to discover the city, the first time fit out visited Falada. He was nine years old, it was nineteen, eighty, nine and the IRAN Iraq WAR had just ended. It finally safe to travel from France, where he was born to Iraq, the country his parents were from, and it was the kind of childhood vacation that stays with you for life, full of vivid colors, you, taste, smells and experiences and in

that's case. It was about covering an enormous, extended family. It was an amazing feeling to know that so many people new us you everything about us and they after so much. If it still has pictures from that trip and one of them- takes him right back so for there was taken thirty two years ago is, If my best memory, most simple memory of foliage, I love this picture in the photo is this White Volkswagen part right by the by thanks of a wide blue river, the Euphrates, that's the river, but others named after and sitting on top of the car or two kids. surrounded by three man dressed in white and beaming, The children with wide smiles sitting, extra sister on the roof of that car, fit out those holding a pistol and pointing it right at the camera. uncles, try their best to dangerous they did.

Wrong guy already working, in the single market in future but remember is that, besides getting to know his family, there was a whole lot to do in Falada it was, big city like that, but every time, and he visited as a young boy. There was one spot that always

I M excited. My uncle's indicated to me in a very famous football stadium in soldier, was a very important game between the team euthanasia in this scene, but that I remember clearly the atmosphere was like in any football game. Really joy fool the cigarettes around me: doesn't the smell men shall be supporting the teams years later, as a reporter, covering the war FIFA to visit that seem- football stadium again, it's you

Everything was destroyed, you knew I just smelling the air that people were still buried or hidden under the rebels neighbourhood, where fraud uncles lived was where most of the fight had happened. Two of them their houses completely destroyed. His uncles were showing him around what remained of their city and fit out

recognised. What used to be the football stadium. I can see it clearly in my mind. It's supposed to a mosque, When you go inside is a graveyard doing worse of the fighting. U S, troops didn't allow residence. A full agenda, bury their loved ones in the local cemetery. It was just outside the city, so people. I had to bury them in makeshift graves in their back yards in nearby fields or at the football stadium. I felt seek to be honest to be in. The football stadium where I used to play into sea others, those graveyards, I can say that I stopped football from that time shit out walks down onto the field. Past rose in rows of gravestones, and you see, some that he recognizes my name is brought Aloni and I saw the names on the graves

They had the same means an irony only those victims. three members of my family doesn't that I used to play with when I was a kid, and two of them were teenagers. There were sixteen I didn't know there were fighters. It was a surprise and something to be to be really honest, something of a pride in the family The battles fit out had imagined that his family had been hanging on trying to survive, waiting out the shootings and bombings and some of them were, but not all of them. My uncle's, I can say that at least two or three of them took part in the in the battle Phillotson uncles had been, officers and the iraqi Army,

and when the? U S decided to dismantle the iraqi Army, they lost their jobs, benefits and any prospect of future work. They tell fit odds, they weren't apart while Qaeda and that they join the insurgency after the american assault on their city because they thought but can came in killed, innocent people and occupied the city and they thought it wasn't right and that their had to defend themselves. Being such active part of the fight transform his family. You know leaving a life where you dont know, if you would come back alive at home This must change. Your feelings must change your thoughts for short and fit out, starts to see that change in one uncle, in particular he's in that old photograph from his fur. Visit. Falada, I remember to my uncle and the

window was open. Curtain was open and american Humvee came into the street and the face of my uncle completely changed. He close the window close the curtain. And he said something weed and anger that I've never seen, and I would be the honest I saw that he was capable of killing. I felt those people lift something. that they could maybe never understand is scared me because Just today my uncle was the goal of things that I have never imagined. on the same track.

It wasn't easy to be a young man like, after than falander sticking with, insurgency meant risking capture by the Americans and trying to work with the iraqi government could get you killed by extremists. I remember still. today, asking myself what would I have done? If I wasn't iraqi born soldier

Maybe it would be among them. Maybe it would be that would have been someone who would defend his family, his city, his country, during the war fit out, stayed in Iraq for five years and then he said another decade. Returning every year, always as a journalist I've never been to Iraq since two thousand and three for personal reason when I think about it.
