My name is Barika Faridah. I am 19 years old and I live in Morganhbad. We have been in the midst of war for 5 years and the city is showing signs of the conflict.
I live in Morganhdad. It’s a square that has the courthouse and is on the outskirts of a territory known as the green zone. The green zone contains the mountain layer, an art school, monuments and some other important places. Because there are so many important places in the zone, it has been designated as a “safe zone” in this time of conflict. The ironic thing about the greenzone is that it is designated as a “safe zone” but that makes it the most dangerous.
How are you reading my thoughts, as a female Muslim woman living in a culture where my demographic is expected to keep quiet? I’ve become apart of a group called MuWoBlo (Muslim Women Bloggers). We aren’t a documented group, but we are very serious about documenting our daily life in Morganhdad. We use this blog as a way to publish our every day experiences to the outside world…not in Morganhdad.
What you will read is a daily journal/blog of my everyday activities. I hope you can understand that my family and I are normal, even if our beliefs are disregarded and looked down upon. I live in constant fear, but try to remain aware that I have to keep living my life as if there was no war at all.
