The University of My Dreams

[link removed]

"Since I was a child, I dreamed of studying at the Islamic University of Gaza. To me it seemed like an entire world filled with warmth and beauty. My father used to take us kids there during holidays, and those visits became an inseparable part of my childhood," Taqwa Ahmed Al-Wawi writes from Gaza.

"When I heard about the bombing of the university, I felt that my dreams had shattered. The buildings I had once raced through were now nothing but rubble, their walls crumbled to the ground. The classrooms, once alive with the rustle of books and the chatter of eager students, now stood empty. The trees that had once offered shade to tired students were now charred skeletons. The air was thick with dust and the bitter scent of ashes, drowning out the echoes of laughter and dreams that had once filled this place."

[link removed]

"Throughout Tunisia’s modern history, countless individuals have endured the harsh reality of political and social repression. Their stories epitomize the struggle for freedom and justice in a nation failing to leave behind its authoritarian past. However, many stories—particularly those of women—are often overlooked or forgotten. Salt Journals seeks to change this, offering the accounts of women who were imprisoned or experienced political violence during the presidencies of Habib Bourguiba (1957-1987) and Zine el Abidine Ben Ali (1987-2011). These essays create an important forum for discussing the resilience of women and the importance of standing up to tyranny."
