A Thousand Farewells: A Reporter’s Journey from Refugee Camp to the Arab Spring
In 1976, Nahlah Ayed’s family gave up their comfortable life in Winnipeg for the squalor
of a Palestinian refugee camp in Amman, Jordan. It was from this situation that Ayed first observed the people whose heritage she shared.
The family returned to Canada, and Ayed ignored the Middle East. The First Gulf War
and the events of 9/11 reignited her interest. Soon she was reporting from the region
full-time, trying to make sense of the wars and upheavals.
Ayed describes the myriad ways in which the Arab people have fought oppression and loss, and the wars, crackdowns, and uprisings she has reported on in the region.
Nahlah Ayed joined the CBC in 2002 and is currently a CBC correspondent.
