Seven years after his family was forced out of Yemen due to the civil war there, Haroon Kamal completed his CBSE Class 10 exam with flying colours from a school at Koovalloor near Kothamangalam.
The son of Kamal Muhamed, a Kerala-based businessman-philanthropist and Leila Nasher Mohamed of Yemen, Haroon scored 97% marks in the exam from Irshadiyya Public School. Haroon’s family had to leave Yemen for Kerala in 2015 amid the war between Saudi Arabia and Yemeni rebels. He had been a student of Yemen Modern School in Sanna, which follows an American syllabus, when he left the country.
