i do not this faud committed suicide.
notice his house was in ruins and there was nothing to prop himself up under the tree where he committed suicide.
he talks earlier about those who were "outside the box" were killed, and faud was deff. and outside the box type of guy

Maybe..But I think I saw a prop underneath the tree that had been knocked over. Also, I thought the crazy wind had made the papers a mess. To me it made sense because he had said he'd lost everything, also, his loss of faith- when he said he didn't believe in heaven. Didn't you find it odd that after he said that, he went to the mosque? After the death seen, I had thought he might have gone to the mosque to ask for any forgiveness- just in case-. That's my take on it...but maybe it could go both ways..which could be the point!

That's my take on it, too. What he says in their last discussion under the "starlit" sky, about how he has lost faith, how "the world began without men and so it shall end", all seems like the last words of a weary soul who sees no point in living anymore. I think the endless violence and pointlessness of the war day after day was what destroyed him and sent him over the edge.

Good point about him going to the mosque to ask forgiveness and closure. That's the one part I couldn't figure out, but it makes complete sense now. You could see it in his face in that scene; he was totally diconnected from life.

Thanks for the explanations, because I came into this movie late, and I could not understand why Fuad killed himself. I thought he might have felt responsible for Vittoria's injuries, yet I agree that it is far more literary if Fuad killed himself out of frustration with war (and/or losing everything), and he probably did go to the mosque to seek forgiveness even if he didn't believe anymore.
