As part of our network spotlight, we are pleased to highlight a recent interview on Abramundi (in French) featuring Simon Suleymani — a Kurdish human rights activist, journalist, and filmmaker, and the learder of a member organization in the WeAreMENA network. In this conversation, Simon shares his personal journey from political persecution and imprisonment, and share about his work advocating for Kurdish rights and cultural preservation through journalism and cinema. The discussion explores themes of exile, resistance, and the future of peace in the MENA region, including the role of regional cooperation and what Simon describes as an “Abrahamic” framework for coexistence.
