Azad’s father was brutally executed by the Iraqi army. Since then, Azad has moved to the city of Duhok to pursue his education. In doing so he hopes to provide a new life for his family and his fiancée, Juwan, who are back in their home village. But as the Iran-Iraq War comes to an end, the Iraqi government launches the genocidal Anfal campaign against the Kurds. Fleeing separately across physical and emotional borders, Azad and Juwan find themselves in the crosshairs of the Iraqi army. However, the most dangerous threat is the one they least expect.

Rollercoaster of emotions

I recently finished listening to the audible of The Mountains We Carry by Zaid Brifkani, MD., FASN. I was utterly blown away; the book was a roller coaster of emotions, and the stories were heart-breaking; as someone that isn't too in tune with his culture (Kurdish), it was a real eye-opener and ignited a yearning to learn more. I highly recommend this book to everyone!
