About me 

I write about geopolitical and societal developments from the perspective of a student in Middle Eastern Studies — a field that offers valuable insights into some of today’s most complex global dynamics. My goal is to contribute to a more informed public debate, grounded in facts rather than assumptions. Writing allows me to organize my thoughts on current issues and to critically engage with the world around me. This blog is a space where I aim to share reflections, and invite readers to approach social and political developments with curiosity and context.
