Evacuating via Erbil

Christian Crumlish

Here's the message I got from Delshad on Tuesday, sent to all his online friends:

Dear friends,

This is just a very short note to tell you that I'm now leaving back to Erbil where then I will go with the family to some village - seems the war is already starting and the family needs me to be there with! I think I will not have access to Internet for sometime till this risky situation is over and things get settled somehow!

I'll write back to you all again once I get access to internet. Thanks for your support all the way .. thank you all.

Lot hugs to you all.

Delshad
