The Sun Burned Our Names: A refugee boy dreams of reclaiming his lost home. War teaches him a different lesson.

By Mohamed Dosou

"Some men die fighting for their home. Some men live, but never find their way back."

In a refugee camp in Jordan, a young boy clings to his father's stories of Haifa, a city he has never seen. He grows up tracing its streets on a tattered map, believing that one day, he will return. When war comes in 1967, he joins a small Palestinian unit, convinced that this is his chance. That the war will end their exile.

But the war is not what he expected.

The Arab armies collapse in days. His dream of return turns into a nightmare of retreat, betrayal, and blood. Stranded in the desert, he watches history reshape the world around him, leaving him nameless, stateless, forgotten.

The Sun Burned Our Names is a story of exile, revolution, and the brutal lesson that war does not bring home back-it only creates new exiles.
