War Correspondent and Human Rights Reporter
About Layla Azzam
In the rubble of eastern Aleppo in 2016, Layla Azzam spent 72 hours embedded with a makeshift field hospital run by Syrian medics, documenting not just casualties, but the precise sequence of munitions used in each strike, cross-referencing blast patterns with satellite imagery and weapon registries. Her 2021 investigation into 'ghost detention sites' in northeast Nigeria exposed how counterterrorism operations erased detainees from official records while outsourcing interrogation to unaccountable militias, a report that triggered UN Human Rights Council hearings and led to the declassification of three redacted military memos. She refuses anonymous sourcing unless identity would directly endanger a source’s life, and her notebooks contain parallel columns: one for testimony, one for forensic corroboration. Her work doesn’t seek neutrality, it seeks accountability anchored in verifiable chain-of-custody for evidence, whether it’s a bloodstained child’s shoe or a corrupted drone log.
