Itโs a novel I wrote in 2 months but took me 5 years, on and off, to finalise. Much of that time was made up of long months when I couldnโt even look at the manuscript. Because, for the most part, this story is about me: my life, my family, and everything I tried to run away from.

Anas al-Sharif among five Al Jazeera staff killed by Israel in Gaza
Al Jazeera staff killed in targeted Israeli attack on a tent housing journalists near al-Shifa Hospital, Gaza City.
The latest targeted assassination of Palestinian journalists by Israel in Gaza is horrifying confirmation of a long-standing, genocidal policy aimed at wiping out Palestinian life and culture.

Fifteen million forced to leave their homes amid massacre, mass rape and famine
"The ghosts will be there for a long time."
I spoke to @timesofmalta.bsky.social about what I saw in #Darfur: famine, mass displacement, and the incredible resilience of the Sudanese people.
We cannot turn our backs on them.

Editorial: More to democracy than just voting
The safety of journalists is of paramount importance without whom we would lose a crucial component in the democratic functioning of the institution of our democracy
PEN Malta firmly supports the call to safeguard a healthy democratic culture, as highlighted in todayโs Times of Malta editorial. Democracy is about fostering a culture where informed debate, accountability and the protection of fundamental freedoms thrive.
