IRAK - MALABARWAN
Sur la route entre Erbil et Dohuk, le village de Malabarwan n a jamais ete inquiete par Daech. C est un village mixte, moitie chretien, moitie musulmans. Les deux communautes communiquent tres peu entre elles. Leurs rapports sont tout au plus cordiaux. La faute sans doute a un defaut de langage. Les habitants musulmans du village parlent kurde, les chretiens arabe. L'ecole du village dispense ses cours en kurde. Les chretiens font plusieurs kilometres a pied chaque matin pour trouver un enseignement dans leur langue.
Cette situation dure puis plusieurs decennies.
Cette serie de photos a ete realise pendant la bataille de Mossoul (une cinquantaine de kilometres plus au sud)

On the road between Erbil and Dohuk. The village of Malabarwan has never been worried about Daech. It is a half Christian, half Muslim village. The two communities communicate very little with each other. Their relations are cordial at best. The fault probably lies in a lack of language. The Muslim inhabitants of the village speak Kurdish, the Arab Christians speak Arabic.On the road between Erbil and Dohuk. The village of Malabarwan has never been worried about Daech.
