Evil of the people
The evil of the people is the suffering, the hope of an entire
people: the Kurds.
Suffering equal to that of the young and beautiful Kalée,
alone, about to give birth. Hope equal to that of Jwamer,
who was sent to prison for ten years by fate because
he found himself, by chance, at the head of a demonstration.

Evil of the people is a torn Kurdistan, with a feeling
of survival of the things of the earth and the soul. He
denounces the attacks on human dignity of which different
regimes and their prisons remain forever guilty.
Despite this, the book remains a novel. Ibrahim Ahmad
incorporates elements that are non-fictional in nature into
stories that remain captivating for the imagination and
sensitivity; his heroes experience the illumination of
the “feeling of existence”.
Ibrahim Ahmad is not only a femon, but also an actor,
sometimes hidden, sometimes discovered, in the great dramas
