Back in the years 2006 and 2007, I managed a company where we decided to set-up an assembly production facility in Teheran, Iran. This meant a few trips to the capital of Iran. I unfortunately did not have time to see anything of this supposedly beautiful country filled with amazing architectural sites. The few shots are from a mobile phone hence the poor quality. There is a trip penciled in my travel-plans hopefully in the not so distant future. My main takeaway from these trips are the hard-working, dedicated and friendly people.

This, my second trip to Iraq, had a slightly different target. This time i wanted to visit the war ridden Mosul. I had recently read the book "The last girl" by the Nobel Peace Price winner 2019 - Nadia Murad. I just had to go and see for my self the "City of Evil" where Nadia and many other Yazidi women from the Singer region were taken, after all their men had been killed. Many of these women were sold off to ISIS soldiers to whom they were sexually abused repeatedly during the years to come. Many of them are still kept and have not been released even though the war is over since 2017. Mosul was made capital back in 2014 when the city was captured by ISIS. It was only liberated in 2017, but badly destroyed. More than10,000 people were estimated to have been killed during the war only in Mosul.
