Back in the 70s Dad went to

, he fell in love with its white and turquoise houses so he brought back these ceramic pieces. He made our front door beautiful since then. Zuhair Al Attiya

From the ancient Qubahan school in
#Amedi
#Kurdistan
. Dating back to 1534, when Sultan Hussein Wali was the king of the Badinan Dynasty. It was built in Amadiya Valley, it’s considered one of the most famous schools in the region at that time.

What a horrifying night for the people of
#Erbil
. The sound of the blasts is still in my head. Thinking of everyone who witnessed such incident, who lost beloved ones, who got injured and yes I know as Iraqis& as Kurds we must’ve got used to it. No! We’re tired of violence
#Peace
I’m very proud of the Kurdistan Regional Government’s seriousness in stopping the spread of
#Covid_19
& all the precautionary measures that have been taken to protect the residents of
#Kurdistan
. We’re doing far better than many developed countries.

Every time I have paperwork in
#Kurdistan
or

in general, I wish if I was a foreigner living here or a daughter of an official/have wasta or one of those ones with dual citizenships so I don’t get to spend days between offices and waiting for hours.

or Hawler the city of the citadel & minaret. It’s an old city, its people are simple & kind. Hawler welcomed everyone and hosted different communities despite the limited resources and the challenges it faced. Here over 20 years now, I’m thankful 🙏🏻
It was a great pleasure working with you Ambassador
@UlricShannon
. I hope you visit us again, I’ll will be more than happy to show you more of

Best of luck in your next posting.
End of a delightful six days in Erbil, saying farewell to good friends and charting new roads for cooperation with the Kurdistan Region for my successors.
Be well and good luck, dear friends. I’ll continue rooting for your success wherever I go.

مصدومة و حزن وألم كبير لفقدانك دكتور
@hushamalhashimi
صعب ان اكتب أو اصف ما اشعر به. قدمت الكثير لبلدك وقتلتك أيادي لاتريد الخير لا للعراق ولا للعراقيين.
سوف أفتقدك وأفتقد أحاديثنا وتغريداتك وتحاليلك السياسة وافتقد وجهك على الشاشة.
ارقد بسلام.. الصبر والسلوان لعائلتك ومحبيك.

#Oman
is one of the beautiful countries I had the chance to visit. The mountains, palm trees, the sea & the architecture all together in one picture are magical. The kindness & hospitality of Omanis, something you won’t forget. #طيبين
A desert oasis in the Middle East, the architecture of Oman is suited to its different terrain, ranging from mountain houses to desert tents, coastal forts & mud houses. More than just practical, the architecture gives insight into Omani culture

An endless love for
#baghdad
. A city that is still shinning despite all the tragic events that it witnessed throughout the years. It's people Baghdadis have faith and positivity that gives you happiness and hope when you are around them.

اليوم رحت للصناعة. صح هو مكان يرحوله الرجال في بلدي لكن قررت اروح (المساواة مع الرجل في كل شيء) حالي حال الرجل لتصليح سيارتي دون الاعتماد على الغير. لو آني وغيري من النساء اعتمدنا على روحنا اكثر ورحنا مراح تبقى ظاهرة غريبة أو موضوع صعب. هالمرة رحت مع شخص دلاني على افضل أسطة 😊

I still remember back in the 90s when we were in
#Baghdad
and Mom used to cry watching videos she got secretly from foreign journalists. I remember similar footages but I was too young to understand what’s happening, I just didn’t want to see her tears.
On March 31, 1991, due to the discriminate attack by Baathist regime in
#Iraq
, millions of people (including my family) in
#Kurdistan
Region were displaced from their homes to Iran and Turkey.
