I am sitting in my living room in London, trying to steal a moment of calm between Zoom meetings and the playful demands of my young daughters, Sama and Taima.

We were used to social distancing â a fear of others, even family members, was planted in us from childhood. Anyone might be an informant â such as the son who reported his mother after she voiced her frustration about the governmentâs constant electrical outages.
