I received the following press release about an upcoming presentation to be given in Whitewater. Here are the details —
Recent US immigrant and Madison resident, Ahmed Etmayesh, age 27, will tell the story of his Iraqi family as they navigated the regime of Baathist Party, the US occupation, and the insurgency. Ahmed’s family’s story is animated by the fact that they are members of a religious minority in Iraq, the Bahá’í Faith. During this time, his family members suffered imprisonment, kidnappings, and death. At the same time, Ahmed’s story resonates with the hope that is deeply rooted in the human spirit. Ahmed arrived in Madison from Baghdad only 9 weeks ago to join his American bride. Join us for fresh insights into America’s 8 year war in Iraq from the perspective of someone who has lived through an entire lifetime of national conflict. Ahmed’s talk will be enhanced by a 50 slide PowerPoint presentation.
