Former official Abdelkarim Hamdi has released his debut literary work titled "Ibn al-Fahm" (Son of Coal). Published by Dar Al-Khayam, the book serves as a poignant memoir of the author's early life. Rather than focusing on his professional career at the M'diq-Fnideq prefecture, the narrative centers on personal memory. Hamdi recalls his childhood spent amidst the dust of coal mines and the sound of mining whistles. The story explores the contrast between his humble beginnings and the ambitious dreams he harbored. It is described as a qualitative work that prioritizes human experience over official status. The publication offers a glimpse into the struggles and aspirations of a child born into a mining environment.
