Description
Hussein Abdullah Ahmed, more famously known as Hussein Abu Shawareb (Mr. Moustache), from the city of Soran in the province of Arbil, hasn't trimmed his moustache since 1994. Today, his moustache has reached a record-breaking length of two metres and 40 centimetres, making the 73-year-old a local celebrity. "When I'm sleeping or working on the farm, I tie my moustache from behind and stuff it under my clothes," says Abu Shawareb. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
