- Ali Arkady is an Iraqi photojournalist, filmmaker and artist. His photographs of war crimes in Iraq were published worldwide and put pressure on the Iraqi government to acknowledge the crimes committed by their soldiers. His work in Iraq also includes illuminating the plight of the Yazidis.
In 2017, Ali had to flee Iraq with his family when his life was threatened. When Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Ali Arkady was once again called to document the exodus of refugees seeking safety-this time at the Polish border.

This is a good man. God knows his life has been full of unimaginable sadness, but he still cares and does good things. Let's see more of stuff like this Vice.
"Yeah put more journalists in Africa and the Middle East so I can watch more brown people suffer and feel high and mighty!"
Statistically, you're the same guy who bitches and moans whenever Vice EVER criticizes America or Europe. 🙄 So we can narrow down what it is you _want to see._
He's a fraud. Officer Omar was arrested for sectarian purposes
Do you have a source for that?
@@incumbentvinyl9291 The video is the source, he is doing good by showing these incredible photo's and telling the stories that the mainstream media wants to hide. Pay attention to his last few sentences. People need to see this, even if it is horrifying to see. All respect to Ali Arkady and all journalists that seek to tell the stories nobody wants to tell.
@@deltapk3 You completely missed the point.
Thank you Ali Arkady for sharing your stories with emotion and empathy.
He's a good man for sure.
Americans and Europeans do get some perverse joy from watching brown people suffer. Makes them feel SO high and mighty so long as they ignore that they're the cause of the crises these people are fleeing from.
With _'emotion'_
Is he still alive or he died
I think he's a good guy sure and also This just selective propaganda. Zeroed in and tunnel versioned it's largely find but in truth just apologetic. Isis wouldn't exist without the USA in the fist place. Vice is right. Vice like a crutch.
The professionalism despite the dangers he faced and the humanity he shows is just remarkable.
I’m crying at the end of this video. Seeing the little girl find peace in the only toy she brought along, and dude playing a little piano for the refugees fleeing their country…. Really puts into perspective how blessed I am to be where I’m at.
Thank you for your courage in telling these stories. Your photos are heartbreaking, as is the tragedy which continues in Iraq.
Seeing these last steps of that young man in front of his mom in Iraqi village is really devastating. War crimes should always be investigated.
And punished
Sadly most war crimes will never been known, and if so the criminals hardly ever meet justice. A bitter pill to swallow.
These are Arab societies. Very tribal. 14 centuries and no democracy. Just grievances and blood fueds.
Kurdistan in Iraq is very well maintained. Why are they successful?
@@Breal30541 punished by who?
@@cde9952 yeah look at europeans. Never punished and now they virtue signal
Wow. That was beautiful. Thanks to everyone who put that together and to the photographer especially. The world needs more warm people like him.
This story moved me to tears. Thank you very much for telling this story, for having the heart to tell this to the World. Shalom
What the zionists do to palestinians for decades now is far worse and inhumane. Literally celebrate the killing of children
but killing your arab neighbours after stealing their home does not move you to tears?
yuddler....
and mohd. bin salman, saudi playboy from mecca is hugging these gestapho thugs leader everytime it seems. wake up world's godless zombies.
@@yuddlerfacts.
You wonderful, poor man. Thank you for enduring this so that people can actually see what happens in war. Its so terrible 😞😞
What a guy! I love him. Thank you for being human and your work. This episode was really something
A soldier, meant to protect citizens, is one of the most heartless and cruel human. The missery and sadness these people have wrought is untold. I know they work under command but if only they had a modicum of conscience, history would not have a record of such great atrocities.
basically iraqi soldiers are alike to ISIS
100%. I’ve lost all faith in a governments military. They invade these countries and just go rogue. They are permitted the freedom and immunity to do so. It’s sick. No humanity. And who trained the Iraqi military?!?…………….
We did!!! The United States. The Iraqi military is mirroring what the US does and showed them. I do NOT support my countries military. Thugs!!!
With gratitude, thank you Ali Arkady for telling their stories, showing us their lives. It's very hard to watch from the comfort and safety of a home far away, knowing that at the same time people are experiencing such horror and danger. With knowledge we can push for international intervention and more humanitarian aide. Admitting these are small steps against enormous issues. Please keep safe Ali Arkady, God Bless You.
Seems like we brought real democracy to Iraq.
Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo are great American schools for democracy 🤔
This pain is worldwide. Every victor a, perpetrator - & every victim, a villain in some way.
Ah yes, Abu Gharib inhumane torture stories are real honor to your name
Thank former president Trump for signing a peace treaty with the bloody Taliban. He signed a peace treaty with terrorists. The people responsible for slamming planes into the twin towers on 9/11. Everyone knew the Taliban weren't gonna respect the peace treaty and were gonna turn the country into a nightmare and here we are now. It's a nightmare. Thank you former president Clownshoes Von Traitorface.
Yep, this is the legacy of Bush Jr and Sr.
The peace ✌️🕊️ be with you brother 🙏❤️!
Thank you for sharing all your experiences in war country's 😢!
Wow. This just shows the power of imagery. It shows mans inhumanity to man. You can literally feel their pain. You hear about it, but hearing and seeing are two totally different things.
I’m speechless. This is so sad. A tragedy. I’m so very sorry for everyone living this hell and losing their families 😔💔
Alleluia So grateful people are holding themselves more to accountability due to the photography. I pray it just gets better and better from here. Praying for the world. I believe in the powers of prayer and deed. Thankful for this man and what he does. One small step by each of us all will lead to footsteps of an army, an army of love.💚💙💚🌏🙏
I cannot express it enough how much I love these types of video, hearing the artist explain some of the background of the photo is immeasurable!
Thanks for letting me know about this man. Great story. The world needs more of this.
All the power and knowledge humans have, I cant believe we still cant get pass engaging in the evil act of war. All these photos and the stories shared by Ali wrench my heart with sadness. Thank you Ali for shining the light on the darkness of war. God Bless you and keep you safe. From James Milet in California.
Thank you so much for sharing TRUE ‼️💔😭☝🏽🤲🏾🕊GOD bless you more &your family 📣💯
I miss great REAL stories like this from Vice. Real on the ground reporting and no "fluff". Well done to this man and the people who let him tell his story.
You must be REALLY blind, getting so tired of people posting this on EVERY vice documentary 😂
Are they bankrupt yet? Lol
Vice News has always had softer stories and hard hitting ones.
This just selective propaganda. Zeroed in and tunnel versioned it's largely find but in truth just apologetic. Isis wouldn't exist without the USA in the fist place. Vice is right. Vice like a crutch.
@@RoshiToshi-yc2ft go on what happened
Sir, I am honestly humbled and very moved by how you've used your life as a photographer to tell an oh-so-important story. I've always said pictures tell stories of which time forgets details, a portion of which I'm titling my book about my life, which I'm writing now. Nevertheless, every one of your images (stills and video), with your stories, made me form tears in my eyes. Your images moved me in many ways; i really appreciate them; Thank you! You do fantastic work and you've gone into the best business for you, because you've got a beautiful heart. I am going to look for more of your reporting/recording. I enjoyed this VICE.
Wow….
I am speechless. Thank you for sharing these photos and the stories of the people in them.
Unbelievable Undeniable Unacceptable...
Thank you... I wish you Peace Love and Happiness...
Take care and Stay safe...💙🕊️💫
So devastating. More journalism like this please! Its pieces like this that show how truly pathetic and worthless (damaging) the main-stream media really is.
Thank you for your sacrifice and for risking your life to show people the reality of the world we live in. Only when we can accept that there is a problem can we take steps to change it.
How horrifically sad and thank you for sharing.
you are a kind man Mr. Arkady, one of a kind. God bless you.
Everyday,I pray for Refugees,Minorities,victims of war/terrorism n natural disasters including Yazidis,Kurdistan n others to have Peace,permanent place to stay n to live freely.Praying that all these Unjustices will end.Pls don't stop your good intentions,EMPATHY to these people.Truth will prevail.Stay safe,good health n Have Faith!Peace on Earth!God bless!Greetings from Phillipines,MABUHAY!!!❤❤❤
Every picture tells a story. These photos are heartbreaking. I can't imagine my only son being taken 😢
"When I see what happening I get very very tired. My body, my brain my eyes"
This is great and rare example of EMPATHY. People have a tendancy to believe empathy is something philisophical or at the very least emotional; however there are also very real physical reactions as well as deep down under all of our various diferences; our races, religions and political factions, our bodies still subconciously understand we are all still the same: Humans.
This is why militaries must psychologically condition people to fight and kill by dehumanizing the opposition. Its also why people like psychopaths are able to do what they do up to and including serial murders, which for an otherwise healthy person would actually be very dificult to do. Thats why when sane and rational men are forced to fight in war they often cite the motivation of survival aka "it was either kill or be killed"
There was a study done in the United States following WW2 that concluded that many American soldiers did not actually fight to kill. They would fire thier weapons; manuever with thier units; but intentionally miss or claim to participate in other ways like reloading weapons or shooting simply to provide cover fire. Not actually look across the field; find an enemy soldier and then try and hit him. This is part of the reason conscription does not really work and why the United States moved away from using the draft to fill the ranks of our army after Vietnam. According to military science a profesional and volunteer force is superior. At least if you are attacking or require agression to win which in this meta of manuevere warfare you absolutley do. The only exception to this rule is when the the common man is forced to defend his own land from a foreign invader such as in Ukraine or Vietnam. Those situations will change the psychological aspect of the equation.
World war 3 might happen soon given the situation in Palestine 😭
“A million iraqis are dead because you lied, my friends are dead because you lied”-US Army Activists
Thank you for spotlighting this wonderful man! ❤️
Iraq sits on top of more than 140 billion barrels of oil, making it the owner of the world’s fourth largest reserves. When the United States invaded in 2003, the Bush Administration promised that oil revenue-according to one report, totaling some $700 billion since the invasion, accounting for at least 80 percent of the Iraqi government budget-would be used to win the war and to rebuild and democratize the country. But fifteen years later, those dreams have been shattered. The economy has flat-lined, millions of people are internally displaced, and institutions like the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank have had to provide billions of dollars to the country every year. Where did all the oil revenue go?
A lot of third-world countries like this are poor because of corruption it has nothing to do with war. Im from one and my family is from the middle east. All these countries are corrupt
I would guess corrupt Iraqis and I'm sure a lot of waste by the US government?
the place it was always meant to go, into the pockets of American billionaires. They instantly started selling off Iraqi resources the second they installed their puppet government.
Into us and Saudi pockets.
America didn’t see it.
This broke me down yo, didn't want to watch at first but damn i'm glad i did... needs more exposure. Who's going to cover all these issues when vice is GONE?
Brilliant! Thank you for this. Horrible suffering i can't even imagine. Peace be with you.
Thankyou man for sharing this story, all world need to know what happend , yr doing a great job 🙇🏻 all the suffering of people is unimaginable and it's pretty devastating to see on the ground zero :/ , May God always protect u
Your pictures are raw…raw confusion and suffering and cruelty…
My hope is that your pictures change the minds of people out of control and seeking war to appease their addiction to power and to force people to become robots and operate out of their cultural norms!
Stay safe Ali, and keep up the good work…❤
What a beautiful heart and what a talented human being this man is
Thank you for your bravery, mate. I'm sorry for the people who were murdered. I wish you all the very best. Stay safe. Isis are evil.😢😢
Thank you 🙏 for your photos and courage
That's how it is everyday
All over the world
Come to México and you'll see...
@@edolivmo what we will see?
There's no such thing as goodness in every war attempt, neither side crumbling with crime and violation. For such a humble reminder for us to preserve a peace with amount of hand
All of this over some oil, drugs, minerals & political leverage.
this is such a sad story. what a f....d up world. can t bear stories like this. just heartbreaking.
Thanx Ali for the pics 😢
I was taking with a senior couple from Serbia who went through not only the ethnic fighting of Yugoslavia but also the historical Hungarian origin discrimination there. The area they have lived all the life was occupied and controlled by different foreign powers over the years. They told me the situation got even worse after the defederation of Yugoslavia. They can only have superficial conversation with the neighbours. They don't trust one another, so keep it to themselves. Already 20 years after the liberation from the Communistic dictatorial politics. I am currently in Montenegro, and sense the same sentiment. The locals choose to live a quiet life without associating with the neighbours. This lifestyle is their survival tactic. Those of us in the "Free Countries" where we assume being good neighbours is the ideal can never relate to these unprivileged people totally. Yet, we can create awareness that open mindedness and deeper level of understanding humanities is needed everywhere. For this seemingly insignificant endeavour, the uploader is making some impact effectively.
You are a good human being. It is a privilege to watch this video. May all the Gods bless you and your loved ones always and forever.
It seems off topic but there is only one God, one ruler of the world, not many because they will conflict with each other, don't you agree?
God bless this brave brother to expose all those horrible facts which happened in the past years,people must always think wise and take strongly the right step in the future in the Mighty Name Of the most High God 🌿🕊️👑🙌🌟🌷💞
Too much pain in the world, too much. I am sorry for people who suffer. I am sorry for mothers who cry and get hurt with pain of loosing their children.
what I learnt from your documentary here is that I never let me and my son live unarmed in a hostile environment we either fight to the death(join the warring parties)or depart before conflicts get worse.
the father and the son who were latter proven to be innocent and the mom whose son taken away made devastating decisions for keeping their loved ones in dangerous places like Iraq.
may the lost lives of all Iraqis,Syrians and Afghans rest in peace.
thank you very much bro for sharing this with us. best wishes and stay safe
😂😂😂😂😂😂
now you are defending isis members just to attack Islam
yall are getting very desperate
I'm not sure what you're trying to say. How were they keeping their loved ones in a dangerous place? They lived there, it's their home. War came to them, not the other way around. What makes you think people can just pack up and leave? And even if they could, to where exactly would they move?
Beautiful story that the world needs to see. Thank you for sharing. Your images, though relaying the pain and suffering of people are truly beautiful and reflect the true soul of human pain. My prayer is that Jesus flood the hearts of the Islamic world to bring to an end all evil. Only love can change the world.
What a great piece and journalist, really appreciate this.
😢😢😢😢😢😢 Iraq 🇮🇶 has faced such horrific catastrophe, all based on lies of WMD. Yet no one dares to speak out against it.
Thank you for helping me keep my eyes open
"......there's a responsibilty about what you need to show to the public." I wish America's media would take those last words of his to heart.
It is important to have content for everyone, but it is more important to uncover these truths.
Thanks for this
God Bless you sir! I am an Irish American in NYC tearing up at the suffering you’ve brought to light. And how heartbreaking it must’ve been for you as being someone who’s familiar with, heck!! who himself and family lived the lived the history, to Shia and Sunni fighting side by side and know how special and what a sight of hope that could mean for the future….only to witness them enjoying the torture of an innocent father and son because they want the wife. What ABSOLUTE SCUMBAGS!!! And to the Yazidi People, my Irish Heart 💚 goes out to you. I’d send out my Luck of the the Irish ☘️to you, but Irish Luck is NOT exactly a GOOD kind of luck. (Most don’t know that. It more of a catch 22 kick of luck)
Anyway, my Best Wish to the People of Iraq, especially to Yezidi.
They Muslims lol of course they want the wife ... Muhammad wanted wives too...
Important stories. Thank you Vice fpr bringing this to the masses.
Thank you. This is the truth that is glossed over by US media. These were US trained units.
I love this series. Great work.
Poor people 😓, theres so much sadness 😭
Gotta love Vice awesome channel news from a different perspective kudos to this guy
Bring this guy back. Anyone know if he’s done any more interviews on CZcams?
When I saw that guy play the piano and people stop and listen to refresh themselves, I remember I think it was Doestevsky saying, “Beauty will save the world”
"Am I on the side of heroes or monsters?"
His photos tell important stories. Heart-breaking to think about what the mother standing by the door of her house in one photo.
Thank you
3:51 that’s really dark, I respect this guys humanity, and love people like him who expose people who torture, I don’t know how any govt in the world could think that torturing it’s citizens could lead to the protection of the same citizens it’s really horrible to go through something like that, and it will change you for the rest of your life, people should t have to worry if they will be tortured again, we need more people like this guy, 😊
These "citizens" were isis members and they were tortured to get information about actual innocent citizens who were raped and kidnapped
Next time make sure to fact check before believing anything like an idiot
Iraq is unfortunately a shithole. There are no citizens just fu*king tribes and religious groups. The soldiers were something like this. Their victim was a sunni muslim.
I know this is terrible situation we in the west must be aware and think accordingly to pray for the less fortunate.
May the good and heavenly God put away for the people living in these war countries. Am keep praying for u and May God bless u and what u do for God’s people
Stories and media have the power to change lives not only of the present, but for future generations as well
Sadly, most torture is for torture's sake, not interrogation. no questions, just pain.
There is really a weird feeling attached in this video.
Th guy goes from Middle east to Europe and you can see the difference.
War is war, and its horrible wherever it takes place.
But the contrast you see between the yazidis and ukranians is worlds apart.
The ukrainians/europians they must have seen war in recent times or a 100 years before that. But the yazidis they have faced this everyday for the last 1000 years.
Every generation of theirs has been in such situations being in the middle of chaos.
The ukrainians were tired because of the war but the yazidis to this day live an exhausting life everyday. I respect them for their bravery and spirit to live.
There is no good and bad side in war. There just is your side and their side
False. There is always a good and the bad. Just because you have a feeling of nationalism that blinds you doesnt change that fact.
As an Anerican i apoligise as to what my government has done to you and our own people.
great video, as are some others in this series.
I wish it included him talking about how he behaved towards people like those iraqi soldiers. it's an interesting situation in that he must have pretended to be fine with what they were doing. advocating for those torture victims would have likely just lost him the evidence, as the soldiers would not have let him leave with the pictures if they had known that he disapproved.
it's also an interesting piece of evidence for the soldiers' warped by war sense of reality that they invited him to photograph their torture. it shows them to have remarkably little awareness of this conduct being seen as problematic, particularly because they had essentially no upside weighing against the risk of him using those pictures to oppose what they were doing - what, in their mind, could have been the point of having him take the pictures? I imagine that there really was no bigger consideration than them inviting him to brag to him personally about how tough they are.
When you get to see soldiers in their element, this is how you'd feel. We hear stories about American soldiers.. Iraqi soldiers.. Chinese soldiers etc. Their job is not just to protect their country, their job is to torture or kill their targets and whoever along the way. The US was very smart enough to destroy Al-Jazeera once they invade Iraq during their invasion. This way, they didn't get much incriminating footage against them while they were there. Today we only hear stories from Iraqis but not much on photos or videos of anything. Most of the footage we get to see were journalists from the US and UK which only now tells a different story against what the Americans did. Weird stuff but yeah. All these stories are nasty and sad. I wish all these things never happened
@@stephaniejaboh8929 that's pretty much what I meant by "warped by war sense of reality". torturing is not part of the jobs of most soldiers in most armies, but various NATO special forces were involved with torture in iraq similar circumstances, and they did mention in the video that those iraqi soldiers are special forces trained by those guys. torture isn't necessary though to make soldiers change, the fact that even a regulated war is organised mass murder tends to suffice.
edit: oops the middle of this post was a garbled mess of sentence fragments, was too tired when I wrote it xD

Thanks vice news for this piece.
the word Human definition is Beast and this explains it all.
Great work

Why?
Do something more constructive with your time.
PTSD is real man 😞
Hell indeed was not created without purpose.
Heartbreaking
As an iraqi i love and support the iraqi military regardless of their back ground. But do not support inhumane treatment nor unjust actions. However when it comes to isis they deserve the worst. But only once 100% confirmed.
those kind of barbaric and inhumane treatment creates the ISIS.
Fr♥
Hello do you regreat Saddam era ? 😆 Abu Uday was a great leader.
u guys are killers
So you are not better than ISIS. The people showed in this clip had NOTHING to do with ISIS. War crimes were committed against innocent civilians. And you still find excuses to support these crimes on the pretext that ISIS was evil. You are not better than ISIS. You are ISIS.
Amazing gentleman. Respect.
He deserves an award. Great journalism.
The thing to remember is that those who create wars, never fight or die in them
Why told you that?
Sheer idiocy.
6:12 the look on that little girls face. I have no words.

This guy is the exact definition of professionalism, great work!
This man is a very strong man
