“I have been fixing radio devices, wireless devices, watches and fans since 1980 as my day job. After the market died down, I became a Peshmarga in Sewran area until they moved headquarters to Sargalu. I used to make food for the Peshmarga, but they also brought me their broken radios and I would fix it free of charge. I even fixed their walkie talkies. Back then, there were many different types of radio devices such as Philips, Sanyon, Silver, Hancock and Canyon. They all had 7 or 8 frequencies and a lot of people listened to radio in Kurdistan. The older radio models were very difficult to fix unlike now, the recent ones can be fixed by just using an integrator. I have a shop in Hajiawa now and every day I ride my bike to the shop to make a living. Thank God that I don’t depend on salaries and I have my own business, which I dearly hold to my heart.”
