I am a reporter with Agence-France Presse based in Baghdad, where I cover Iraqi politics, security, economics, and societal developments. Before this posting, I spent three years at AFP’s Beirut bureau covering the Syrian conflict. I covered Lebanon and Syria at local Lebanese news website NOW News, and have reported as a freelancer out of Beirut, Istanbul, and the Kurdish region of Iraq in recent years.
