Happy new Persian year

1384 years has passed from when prophet Mohammad started his mission and Iranians have never been less religious.

We always say that a good year will be judged by its spring, and by what I've seen so far, I believe we'll have a good year. Both Bush and Khamenei have appeared much more reasonable and easy-going and apparently are listening to people out of their offices.

Therefore, surprisingly, I'm very optimistic about the coming year. Let's wish all people, especially in the middle-east, a more democratic, yet peaceful year.

Happy New Persian Year, Hoder. I just started a blog at through which I hope to create a space where those who would not otherwise have a voice can tell their stories. I believe that writing about difficult experiences can help people. I also believe that, together, we can help to counter the distortions in the media about asylum and displaced people. What you have already kick-started helps me to see that these goals really are possible. Thanks.
