The BBC is currently featuring stories of daily life of Iraqis on its website.
However, unlike most reports of Iraq which are written by journalists, these accounts are actually in the words of the
Iraqi people themselves.
The accounts were all taken on April 7th, and include everything from the expected
("We are afraid") to the beautifully mundane ("I’ve been farming all afternoon, and looking after the
sheep. I am very tired!"). Really beautiful way to get a glimpse of everyday life in this country that is
usually featured in the headlines for horrifyingly violent reasons.
