Portfolio + Projects: https://murtazanikzad.netlify.app/ Born in a refugee camp and raised in a war-torn city, I'm Murtaza; a young, living writer who has been working in the field of writing for two years now. I have worked as a reporter and translator at Subh-e-Kabul Daily, as translation editor at Peiramoon Weekly, as contributing author at Global Voices and as co-founder of Nahang ESCC. I believe that life is full of absurdities and it is our job to find humour in them.
