• 1989 My first trip to Iraq. The taste of apricot. "Never say Saddam's name."
• 1992 The summer ends in Baghdad. When I return to France, my friends tell me all about their vacations at the beach.
• 1995 If you really appreciate someone, you say "A khaliq ala rassi," or "I'll put you on my head."
• 1995 A question from the disillusioned teenager I've become : why was I born in France instead of Iraq?
• 2003 This is how I write my first news stories. Embedded with family going about their daily routines.
• 2004-2005 The IED : inside the house, the foundation shakes. Out on the street, a blast of hot air in your face.
• 2005-2006 I often hang out at the neighborhood barbershop. It's the ideal place to hear the latest news and rumors.
• 2006 My Iraq is, above all, a bunch of smells. Sand, watermelon, masgouf, cardamom tea, sourdough rolls.
• 2006-2007 Syria, a country at peace. A stable country back then. A country where the media had no worries. A wonderful country.
• 2007-2001 One evening, I summon the courage to tell them: "I'm an Iraqi." They're curious and flood me with questions.
• 2011 Goodbye America!
• Timeline
