I am Ali Fadel. I work as a taxi driver in Baghdad. My mother is 60 years old and there is no White hair in her head, but her hair turned to white in days after she was shocked by the death of two of my brothers (Muhammad and Yahya) in the explosion of Karada inside Al-Layth complex building. They went out to buy a wedding suit but they never returned. I was sleeping and suddenly I woke up to find my mother crying and mumbling. The house tents with sadness and all our neighbors Stand at the door .I knew at this moment I lost my brothers. Every day my Mother dies slowly from her grief over them. I work day and night in this taxi to forget, and at the same time to make a living for my family. I hope what happens with me never happen to any human being. If there is one who holds the responsibility for my brother's death ? it Is racism and the sectarianism the
