Nobody wants to spend their whole life on this bit of clayey ground. The situation is very difficult for my father. Like most of the people here, he has no regular work. He accepts any little job that comes up, no matter what it is as long as he earns a bit of money to buy food. Well, we'll see.
Uncertainty is the only thing that's certain here.
Sometimes, my father gives up hope completely and can't see any way out of our situation. I know that he prays for us all, so that God will protect us and that no more awful things will happen to us. I love that blue mosque. I go there every week. Before the war, Muslims from all over the world used to go there on pilgrimage because it is one of the most important Islamic sites and it contains the tomb of Ali, a holy man in Islam.
