Reporting

2012 Feb.: uncovered compelling evidence of Syria’s ruling regime targeting journalists.[21]
2012 May: filed first-hand reports about Egypt’s first free elections for centuries.[22][23]
2012 Jun.10: produced one of the first verified reports highlighting the human face of the Houla Massacre in Syria.[24]
Opinions
In December 2000, while a student in Paris, Ramdani launched the "Comité des usagères de la ligne A",[25] a group calling for temporary sex segregation in public transport while safety issues, and especially violence against women, were resolved.
Ramdani has been a constant critic of racist attitudes, especially in France.[26]
Ramdani has frequently expressed skepticism about women’s prospects following the Arab Spring.[27]
2011 May: wrote an article critical of Syria’s first lady, after meeting her in Damascus.[28]
On 18 January 2012, when questioned on the BBC programme Newsnight, Ramdani said the British government had "completely ignored the United Nations’ resolution 1973" aimed at "protecting civilian lives". Instead the misinterpretation of the resolution "resulted in Libyans dying on a daily basis".[29]
In a piece published in The Guardian in July 2012, Ramdani argued that Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, the French minister for women's rights, "has let down Muslim voters" and that Muslim women would prefer more concrete measures "from the building of mosques to simple reforms.".[30]
In August 2013, an opinion piece in The Observer stated that Israel used "US-sourced white phosphorus shells...against Palestinians". An amendment suggested that these weapons were not chemical ones. [31]
On 10 January 2015, Ramdani described the Paris Charlie Hebdo attacks on the BBC's Dateline London as "deeply disturbing". Ramdani said: "Muslims were very prompt to show their outrage and indeed support and solidarity for the victims". In a wider discussion about freedom of speech, Ramdani said: "You can’t print hateful vindictive cartoons and think they will have no consequence."[32] Ramdani said on another BBC discussion programme "The best way to move on from such horror is not to incite more violence and to offend people but to move towards reconciliation". When it was suggested Ramdani was linking the violence with the cartoons, Ramdani replied: "I am not saying that. Why are you putting words into my mouth?" [33]
