The quotes of this poor Iraqi girl are all in perfect English. The article is in the Washington Post. And finally, the author of the article is a Mohammed something or the other.
Other than those things, it's totally credible!!
This is the story told to me by a 14-year-old Yazidi girl Ill call Narin, currently staying in northern Iraqi Kurdistan. I am a Kurdish journalist with a journalism degree from the University of Missouri at Columbia who covers northern Iraq as a freelancer for several international news outlets. I heard about Narins tale through a Yazidi friend who knew her. Aside from translating from Kurdish and excerpting her story in collaboration with Washington Post editors, the only things I changed are all the names, at Narins request, to protect her and other victims from reprisal; many of her relatives are still in captivity.
Perfect English ...
There a lot of stories that are “as told to ...” in this case, a US-educated journalist with a Kurdish background, himself.
