نشرت مقالتي عن الفساد في العراق باللغة العربية

داخل نظام حكم اللصوص البيروقراطي في العراق (Published 2020)

الفساد، مثله مثل العنف، أضحى سبباً لاستحالة العيش في العراق. فقد ساعد في تأجيج صعود تنظيم داعش، وأميركا تقدم على الأقل مبلغ عشرة مليارات دولار بالعملة الصعبة سنويا يتم استخدامها لتغذية الفساد

This one took months of work. My take on the Yemen war, with Lynsey Addario's photos:

How the War in Yemen Became a Bloody Stalemate — and the Worst Humanitarian Crisis in the World...

Saudi Arabia thought a bombing campaign would quickly crush its enemies in Yemen. But three years later, the Houthis refuse to give up, even as 14 million people face starvation.

my little say on the catastrophe in Beirut:

Opinion: The rot at the heart of Lebanon has finally and grimly detonated

The Beirut explosion may have been a standalone incident, but it also represents the corruption and neglect that has defined Lebanese society for too long

PEN understatement: For reporter Donald McNeil to end his long career, apparently as a result of a single word, risks sending a chilling message. That the paper apparently altered its course in relation to this incident as a result of public pressure is a further worrying signal.

@maysaashujaa @Hani_Abo_Yosr @almuslimi Hi there - sorry just saw this thread. I did spend time in the south and did some interviews there in september, but this story was focused on Houthis (fitting all of Yemen in one piece is hard). As for bias, I think the story was frank about crimes and failures of the Houthis.
