Finally, still in Russia, we see how prime minister and self-styled Action Man figure, Vladimir Putin, supposedly acted the hero when he shot a predatory Siberian tiger dead.  read more »

Egypt: Harassment against women is all the same

Global Voices Online » Egypt - Fri, 2008-09-05 01:31 By Amira Al Hussaini

Rantings of an Arab Chick writes: “I read these sadly familiar accounts of sexual harassment from women living in Cairo. I would hazard a guess that any woman living in most Middle Eastern countries is just as familiar with this sort of treatment, not just from fellow citizens of their particular country but from a majority of expat males too.”

السكوت

حيرانه - Sat, 2007-11-24 14:15 By 7ayrana
مش هسكت
هتكلم
قال إيه بيقولك
إكتبي بالرمزية يافوزية
يإلا تخدي سنتين في قضية
تلفيقة وملكيش فيها يا فوزية
إكتبي زي مزاجك مايقولك
ماهو إلهامك ومشاعرك
بقيلك يافوزية
ماحدش حينجيكي غير أفكارك
ومبادئك وإيمانك
وطز في الرمزية
والسكوت والسلبية
ومن النهارده أنا غير البشر إلي حواليه
مش هكتب بالرمزية ولاهتصنع بالتفاهية
أناهكتب من منظوري
لأن الظلم مش راح يكون مصير البشرية

اللعب بالكبريت

حيرانه - Sat, 2007-11-17 20:06 By 7ayrana
وأنا صغيرة
كل لما بشوف كبريت
بفتكروه شىء عبيط
وأقوم ألعب بيه
تنتني أولع فيه
وفي يوم إيه حصل
حصل إلي حصل
والبيت أهو إتخرب
إتحرق
وفجأةً الضلمة نورت
ولما تقرب تقوم تحرقك
أتاريني مش أنا بس إلي إستهونت بالكبريت
أتاري أبويا وأبوه كمان كانوا ليهم فيه
وأتاري بيتنا ده من زمان محروق
وغيرناه
بس بردوه إتحرق
طب إيه العمل
يبقى بلاش منه الكبريت
قلت والضلمة ياسيد العاقلين  read more »
