WHAT HAVE YOU LEFT BEHIND? - BUSHRA AL-MAQTARI ...

In 2015  a year after it started  Bushra al-Maqtari decided to document the suffering of
civilians in the Yemeni Civil War  which has killed over 350 000 people according to the UN.
Inspired by the work of Svetlana Alexievich  she spent two years visiting different parts of
the country  putting her life at risk by speaking with her compatriots  and gathered over 400
testimonies  a selection of which appear in What Have You Left Behind? Purposefully alternating
between accounts from the victims of the Houthi militia and those of the Saudi-led coalition 
al-Maqtari highlights the disillusionment and anguish felt by those trapped in a war outside of
their own making. As difficult to read as it is to put down  this unvarnished chronicle of the
conflict serves as a vital reminder of the scale of the human tragedy behind the headlines  and
offers a searing condemnation of the international community's complicity in the war's
continuation.
