Muhammad Najem (born 2002) is a Syrian war reporter and activist who has been documenting the Syrian civil war since the age of 15.[1][2][3] In December 2017, his home of Ghouta, a suburb of Damascus, was besieged by the Syrian Army, and Najem told his family he wanted to tell their story. They decided to release English-language videos on YouTube featuring Najem, assisted by his older brother Firas, a photojournalist, and their sister Hiba, a teacher, who helped translate.[4] His videos attained a wide audience in February 2018, when CNN producer Nora Neus picked up his story.[5][4] Shortly after, RT ran a story accusing him of being a “crisis actor”.[4]
In March 2019, Najem’s family was forcibly evacuated to Idlib, and later became refugees in Istanbul Turkey.[4] He continues to report on the Syrian conflict including conflicts in other Middle Eastern countries such as Palestine.[6]
He was featured in Know Your Rights and Claim Them, by Angelina Jolie.[7] With Nora Neus and Julie Robine, he created a graphical autobiography entitled Muhammad Najem, War Reporter.[8][9][10]
