Samia Nakhoul
Editor, Middle East
Samia Nakhoul has reported from the Middle East for almost 35 years. Samia began her career reporting on the civil war in her native Lebanon in the 1980s and has covered the Gulf War of 1990-91, the Egyptian Islamist insurgency against Hosni Mubarak in the 1990s, the first Palestinian-Israeli peace talks, the Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon in 2000 and the U.S-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. She also led the coverage of popular Arab uprisings, the toppling of four Arab presidents, the Syrian civil war and the fall of Mosul, Iraq’s second major city to Islamic State.
As Gulf Bureau Chief she reported from Baghdad throughout the U.S-led invasion of Iraq. While covering the war she was severely wounded when an American tank shell hit the Palestine Hotel, headquarters of the international press, and had to undergo brain surgery.
Samia won Reuters scoop of the year for breaking the news that former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi was captured with his son and then later killed. Her special report on the secret plan to take Tripoli was recognized as a finalist in the Pultizers that year. It told the inside story of the insurrection, the role of outside powers and the intelligence work that crippled the regime of Gaddafi and led to his collapse.
From Cairo, Nakhoul accompanied Yasser Arafat on his return to Gaza in 1994 after 42 years in exile.
Her exclusive report from Egypt in 1992 on an Islamist state-within-a-state in the giant Cairo slum of Imbaba won international acclaim. This was a story the Egyptian government vigorously denied before eventually sending 25,000 troops to dismantle it.
Samia was awarded the Chevalier dans l’Ordre national du Mérite, one of France’s highest honors, for her venerable career covering the Middle East, the world’s most troubled region. Along the way, she has picked up a number of distinguished journalism awards for her work, including a Courage in Journalism Award from the International Women’s Media Foundation, the International Council for Press and Broadcasting’s Peace Through Media award, among others. In 2015 she was the recipient of the Reuters Baron Award which recognizes an individual who exemplifies Reuters tradition of integrity, journalistic excellence, personal courage and expertise.
