Fleeing home: an Iraqi-Kurdish story

Roj Ranjbar has experienced displacement three times in his life. Roj is an Iraqi Kurd with 大象传媒 Monitoring, he's covered the recent referendum in Iraqi Kurdistan, and subsequent developments as Kurds face renewed civil conflict with Baghdad. Watching the images coming out of Kirkuk of families fleeing their homes has triggered memories of his own family's experiences in the 1990s.
