Iranian clerics look at the rings displayed by a street vendor on the street of #Najaf, south of #Baghdad, #Iraq. The clerics on a pilgrimage for the occasion of the Arba'een, a #Shiite #Muslim religious observance that occurs 40 days after the Day of #Ashura. It commemorates the martyrdom of Imam Hussein bin Ali, the grandson of the Islamic prophet, Muhammad which falls on the 20th day of the month of Safar. This is Ahmad Mousa @ahmadmousa posting for #emahomagazine from #Najaf, Iraq.

Hello Emaho Magazine followers!

A photo of Ghassan Ahmad Hjaziyeh on his sister's couch in Tyre, south of Lebanon. Ghassan was 17 in 1982 when he came back to Lebanon with his uncle to check on their families in the south. It was during the Israeli invasion of Lebanon. They were both living in Germany and wanted to surprise their families so they did not tell them they were back. That summer day they left Beirut but never reached the South. It took their families around 10 days to know Ghassan and Saleh were in Lebanon. Ghassan and Saleh never reached the south... Beirut or Germany! They were never seen again and their fate is still unknown There is an estimated number of 17,000 missing from the 1975-90 Lebanese civil war whose fate is still unknown.

They say the missing are neither dead nor alive. I believe they are floating in a middle world waiting for their fate to be unveiled. It's been 2 weeks that I've been posting photos of my ongoing project on the Missing of Lebanon on #emahomagazine's feed. Thank you for following their stories. In this last photo Marie Mansourati holds a red rose as she sits on the bed of her son Daniel who was taken away by force in 1993 as he was driving in a #Damascus street in #Syria with his brother while on a visit to see their relatives. Members of the Syrian intelligence stopped him and his brother, took Daniel with the car and drove away leaving Daniel's brother alone on the street. Marie looked for her son everywhere in Syria but never found him and since then his fate is still unknown. Mothers' Day in Lebanon happens to be on March 21. For that day I asked Marie to pose on Daniel's bed holding a red rose wishing the Mothers of Lebanon a happy Mothers' Day and hoping that one day the Mothers of the Missing would be able to celebrate that day with their missing children. There is an estimated number of 17,000 missing from the 1975-90 Lebanese civil war whose fate is still unknown.

The school bag of Ahmad, the youngest son of Imm Aziz, who was 13 when he was taken away by force from their house along with his 3 older brothers. In September 1982, militants came knocking on her door while she was having breakfast with her family and took away by force her 4 sons, Aziz, the oldest was 31, Ibrahim, Mansour and Ahmad. She never saw them again and their fate is still unknown. Like many families of the Missing, Imm Aziz kept some of the belongings of her sons in case they come back one day.

A photo of Imm Aziz's 4 sons sits on her bed in the Palestinian refugee camp of Burj el Barajneh in Beirut's suburbs. In September 1982, militants came knocking on her door while she was having breakfast with her family and took away by force her 4 sons, Aziz, the oldest who was 31, Ibrahim, Mansour and Ahmad, the youngest was 13. She never saw them again and their fate is still unknown. In 2010, 28 after their kidnapping, Imm Aziz said she talks to her children every night before she goes to sleep. She asks one by one if he can see her, if he is ok, eating and sleeping well. She keeps the window above her bed open in case they come back one day and walk down the alley behind the window. She wants to make sure she sees them when they finally come back home. There is an estimated number of 17,000 missing from the 1975-90 Lebanese civil war whose fate is still unknown.

The photos of the 4 sons of Imm Aziz sits on a table in her room at the Burj el Barajneh Palestinian refugee camp on the suburbs of Beirut. In September 1982, militants came knocking on her door while she was having breakfast with her family and took away by force her 4 sons, Aziz, the oldest was 31, Ibrahim, Mansour and Ahmad the youngest was 13. She never saw them again and their fate is still unknown. Imm Aziz says if she knew she would not see her sons again, she would have thrown herself under the wheel of the truck that took her sons and not survive them. Her life is meaningless since they were kidnapped. There is an estimated number of 17,000 missing from the 1975-90 Lebanese civil war whose fate is still unknown.

The empty bed at the tent of the #Missing in downtown Beirut. For few years Odette Salem was the guardian of the tent where she would sleep for 6 days a week! Odette's two only children Richard and Marie Christine were kidnapped in 1985 as they were driving on a Beirut street and never seen again. She looked for them everywhere but never found them. In May 2009, as she was crossing the street, Odette was ran over by a car that did not see her. She passed away immediately. Many parents of Missing are dying every year not knowing the fate of their loved ones. This photo is an homage to all those parents.

A shoe in an #abandoned building that was used as a #detention centre during the 1975-90 Lebanese civil war in Bhamdoun, east of Beirut, #Lebanon. Inside the building, a couple of months after Wajih Zahalan was #kidnapped in 1982, was found a pile of passports belonging to people who were taken away by force by a Lebanese militia, amongst those passport was Wajih's. Ayman Zahalan, his son, entered the building in 2014 for the first time since the #kidnapping of his father in 1982. He started looking for writings on the wall, hoping to find a message from his father but found nothing.
