He is one of the 63 poets included in the Vocal Ontology at the Voice of the Mediterranean Festival, which took place in Lodève, France, in the year 2007.[10]
Mundhir's studio burning
In February 2019, a fire broke out in Mundhir’s studio, which has become a destination for every educated person passing through Latakia.[11] Despite the opportunities that opened for him to leave his country during the war it is witnessing, he has not left his city. The fire broke out in the basement/studio in his absence due to an electrical short, which led to the ignition of many plastic works and his paper library, which included hundreds of books and his music library. A vast archive evaporated in moments. This fire is not a personal disaster for Mundhir alone but for a crowd of friends the place. Adel Mahmoud wrote something like an epitaph: "In this dedicated space, there are shadows of at least three generations of poets, artists, politicians, intellectuals, and … the beautiful women who, alone, save the spirit of this creative place, the professionals of integrity, poetry, and music… They save Mundhir’s studio…."[12][13]
"Little green twig"
Mundhir comments in an interview with him about the current events in his country, Syria, saying:
"I did not expect Syria to reach this devastation and befall the Syrians this tragedy, and I was expecting that a solution would happen somehow, preventing this catastrophic fate that we suffer. However, I have nothing to blame for the elite, my friends whom I know most, I think they did and wrote And say what they should and more. Blaming the Syrian elite as if it were blaming the entire Syrian people, this was my position before the events, so what about you now?"
continues:
"I don't know what changed me in those years, What I know is that I could not remain the person I was, and at the same time, and for today, I could not be another person, perhaps in the future, the near future, I will become what I hope, a new Egyptian warner; A small green twig growing from the trunk of my life tree, the dry one? No, it is never dry but cut and wrecked, I think it is the most accurate analogy. But I remember what Yassin Hajj Saleh wrote to me after I asked him to participate in the dialogue: "Mundhir, do not leave! Do nothing but Don't leave!" He did and left, but I won't turn my back and leave."[14]
