Ajaj in Tahrir Square: The unblinking testimonies of survivors

الوصف

In the heart of Baghdad, the relentless roar of Tahrir Square’s night traffic pulses around a heavy security presence. Under the glow of streetlights, police and security cordons maintain a perimeter around an unusual sight: an open-air studio where the past is being exhumed in real-time. This is the set of Lagal Ranj, the flagship program of Rudaw hosted by the network’s prominent anchor Ranj Sangawi. Starting at 9:00 PM and broadcasting live for two grueling hours, the show serves as a platform for survivors whose lives were shattered by a regime that hoped they would be forgotten.
