Notes
Adnan Abdulahad is from al-Nabi Younis neighborhood, and was born in 1965. He went to school, but left after ninth grade because of the Iraq-Iran War. During the war, there were not enough workers and his father needed someone to help him in the marble factory, so he forced him to leave school. He now works as house builder installing marble. He is married and he has three daughters and two sons. His wife is his relative and his family arranged his marriage. He said that his wife is a housewife and he does not want her to go out to work. In his neighborhood there were Muslims, Arabs, and Kurds, and no problems between them. He played football with local football teams in a field close to their house. He says that on Muslim holidays, we all celebrate, and on the holidays of the Christians and Yazidis too. Everyone celebrated the holidays with music and dancing. He traveled to the northern parts of Iraq with his family for picnic. Adnan’s favorite foods are pacha (stuffed tripe) and maqluba (upside-down chicken and rice). | Videographer: Lazha Taha | more | less
