Recalling Times of Innocence...!


بحبك أنا أكترْ.
محكية همست بها العاشقة..


يومين مش أكثر
قلتْ..
شو باك؟..
صرلي عمر بنطرْ
على الشباكْ..

مرقت سنة وما جيتْ..
بتتذكرْ..
ولا يوم عني كنت تتأخرْ..
كان المسا بركة حبر..
وكان المدى دفترْ..
بكتب على سطور الهوى
بحبك أنا..
وتكتب يا قلبي.. شو حلو
بتكتب أنا أكترْ.

يومين مش أكترْ..
ضاق المدى..
وخط الصدى تكسّـرْ..
وقت المسا ما ببنامْ..
بتأثرْ..
كلما مرق ع خيال صوتك
كذبك وخبّـرْ...
كلما حكت للريح هالبوم القصص
تصير الغصصْ..
أشكال تتصورْ..
شو نسيتني ..
نسيت الهوى..
شو باكْ؟..
يمكن بعد ما نسيتني أنساكْ..
يمكن ما عاد الشوق إتذكرْ..
بخزّق أنا كل الصور..
كل الشعر..
وبخزّقْ الدفترْ.

يومين مش أكترْ..
ومَرقِ العمر..
وبنطر على الشباكْ..
يمكن حدا غيرك يجي..
 يقول لو وهم وكذبْ
بحبك أنا أكترْ.

“I love you more..!”
A Tale whispered by a Lady-Lover..


"Two days, not more.."
You said..
What’s happening to you..?
I was waiting for ages..
At my window..!

A year passed, while you didn’t show..
Don't you recall..?
Never once, you had been late..
Our night was a pool of ink..
Our time was my diary..
Written by lines of fancy..
“How I love you..!”
Darling; how sensational were your words..
But; I had written more..!

"Two days, not more.."
My time shortened..
My echo disarrayed..
At night; I sleep no more..
I got emotional..!
Whenever your image comes across..
Your lies, so your tales..
My days would tell the wind..
Stories that become chocked agonies..
Thoughts that turn realities..
Did you forget me..?
Did you forget our love..?
What’s happening to you..?
Maybe shall forget you too..?
Maybe the love vanishes..?
I shall burn all images..
All the poems..
I shall burn my diary too..!


"Two days, not more.."
The life already ages away..
Maybe someone else would pass-by..
Yet; I shall wait at my window..
He would tell me an imaginable lie..
“I love you more..!”

Famine in Somalia: Newsy

pp

Multisource political news, world news, and entertainment news analysis by Newsy.com



I had thankfully recieved the above vedio from Jessica Fly of Newsy.. Her note said:

Hello Adil,
I came across your blog today about the U.N.’s declaration of the famine in the horn of Africa. Like you said, they will never be eliminated but instead are a cyclical event that will continue to occur.
I wanted to send you a video that you might like to see surrounding the famine. http://www.newsy.com/7418/
The video looks at several news organizations and their take on the need for aid in that region of Eastern Africa. Living in the western world, it is hard to understand the difference between our life span and the expected shorter one among ‘nomads.’
Newsy is a multi-source video analysis company and that lends viewers a well-rounded perspective on news.

I do share the video with all readers for how it is conclusive, focused and short.. Also, the point it stresses on the need for an innovative and new approach to manage this repeated man-made crisis..
In addition, I had enjoyed the diverse and interesting materials Newsy offers in their website..
Thanks Jessica..

Famine in Africa: A Point of View..!


Famine is never new to Somalia or the Horn of Africa..
Repetitions of sever famine among those communities would unquestionably point to the chronic and dysfunctional performance of governments (if any), politicians, intelligentsia, entrepreneurs and commons as well..!!

The international community, despite the heroic efforts to manage the never-new crisis, is proven failure and crippled.. Same diagnostic cause-roots, same horrific symptoms, same routine heartaches and same core-solutions.. Then, it is only manageable by grace of Allah swt, to repeat again in 4-6 years course..!

The serious attempts to address the foundations of this repeated problem are always blocked by political lobbyists, who carefully balance the contradicted interests and various beneficiaries in the region against the global politics.. Apart from China, all superpowers had recorded their failure and shameful paranoia at this vast and diverse region..

Then; what the new we are talking about..?

Recently, WFP had praised the role of local private sector in scoring a little balance in the fierce fight for life.. Maybe this would hi-light the role to be addressed, encouraged and supported..

1stly, We should acknowledge that armed conflicts and power struggle are a lasting phenomenon; which will continue to revive till the local demographic statistics would reach acceptable thresholds.. In other straight words; till these communities transform from their nomadic and barbaric status into an urban one.. Any bids on peaceful and civilized structures are waste of time and lives.. Simply, all these militias, tribal leaders, politicians have their share (or reward for being who they are..!!) in whatsoever provided to their hungry, sick and hopeless people.. Before providing the aid, run your math and receive their blessings.. It is cruel, but true..!!

2ndly, Corruption in Africa has its own rationale, taste and trends; which had collectively created great barriers between Africans and the rest of the world.. Only Chinese had in-no-time managed to penetrate the black continent with no retreat or withdrawal..! No one had asked why they succeeded while others failed..? Frankly, the international community was busy counting the profits Chinese are making rather than understanding their way in doing business.. Or precisely; the inability to bridge the huge gaps between the code of governance and rate of compliances among the various parties.. Ok, you got to be a Chinese in Africa.. This is the only way to sustain the 1st point..!

3rdly, Urbanism upgrade our value and view of life, and subsequently, of death.. Therefore, applying the same westernized or urbanized measures on African operations is only a recipe for headache and suspension.. Losing lives is not catastrophic or astonishing (as it sounds) among these nomads; who used to have short dreams of life..!! Cultural, religious and ecological aggregates had formed these communities on appreciating the present moment; rather than hoping for tomorrow’s uncertainties.. Africans generally appreciate reproducing lives rather than maintaining the ill-fated ones.. To win African hearts and minds, stop talking about death rates, and invent practical ways to celebrate the life rates..!

4thly, Replace those aid-armies of volunteers, staff and administrators, who usually consume, more than 30% of any allocated budgets; with innovative schemes to encourage African traders and businessmen to do the job..! Yes, they will make fortunes out of it, but they also will maintain the edge of life, employ lots of sweat-staff and inevitably cool down the bloody fights..! With few simplified initiatives on CSR, CRM and ERP, Africa and African will be gradually transform towards urbanism.. This customized urbanism is the only tool to master and control the environmental breakdown in the continent..! Provide African with the knowhow, and let them do it their own way..!

As said, as witnessed..!

Terror in Norway



I don’t deny my sensitivity to anything ethnic..!!

When the news shock the world on the bombing and shooting in Oslo, I was caught by the few dark skin people who belong to security and emergency.. I was, as usual curious to get the feel about the cultural tolerance and integration..

Yes, the dark skin people are further racial than the light skin ones..!!

The image in this video, which shows a teenager of African descendent, sharing the escape boat with other Norwegians, had told me lots about this remote society..
He and his colleagues were named as the political future of Norway..!

Situation in Sudan

on 14 July 2011



The Drama of Falling Down..!

I dare to say: it is a "shy" dawn of "Peoples' World"..
The British MPs, and certainly many others will follow, are siding to Common's Interests, despite Lobbies, Interest Groups and Influencial Powers..
There is a general mood that structural corrections has to take place across Politics, Media and Moneys..
Conventional orders are coming to an end..!

What I liked the most; the fine practice of Public Advocacy..
Something we horribly missing in the 3rd world..!
Should our noisy-shunting ones to learn..?


Humble pie, how hackers' legal fees were paid and a lot of 'don't knows':
Minute-by- minute drama of Murdoch grilling by MPs
Rupert Murdoch: This is the most humble day of my life
I did not know payments had been made to phone hacking victims...
... and had no knowledge that NotW's reporter was found guilty of blackmail
I was shocked, appalled and ashamed by Milly Dowler phone hacking
Murdochs admit N.I. paid legal fees for only two men jailed
News Corps share go up by four per cent as hearing continues
Towards end of hearing Rupert Murdoch is attacked with shaving foam






The Unwritten Code of Civilization..


It is Legal, but not Decent...!!
Law & order do not build or maintain civilization..
But the Decency of Performance..

The Unwritten Code of Civilization..

Assassin the Innocence


Suddenly, a webpage came in Facebook with title and contents in Arabic only.. It is named: Final Episode: Murdering Tom & Jerry..!

The page includes horrifying images for Tom slaughtering Jerry, squashing him by a hammer, or that Dog snatching Tom’s flesh.. All with shocking amount of blood, anger, barbarism and cannibalism..

I’m not sure who post such “Bloody” page; yet I had reported it, knowing that FB administration is both slow and English-speaking..!

Somebody deliberately is targeting Arabic Audience, adding confusion to their “Spring” and killing the laughter of the younger generation..

Someone assassins the innocence, requesting more “Terrorists” to grow, and knowing how Arabs react in absence of logic..

Mercy ya Allah

Gaza 2011, Palestine

During school times; we came to learn that Architecture is interpretation of two things: Wealth and Comfort..
If this is Gaza 2011; So what's about the stereotype terrifying pictures of killings and suffering..?
Maybe someone will advocate the people's right to live.. but how; with slogans of economic blockage and Harassment by Israelis..!!
From where this wealth is generated and how it is sustained..?
Are Gazaeans in need for such costly interiors to relax from the war-chronicles..?
How they can taste the beauty and elegance of these interiors in their war zone..?
Is there something missing..?
Is there TWO Gazas..?

No wonder that many people denounce the Arabic claims on Suppression, Siege and Poverty..!!
It seems, alike most of the Arabic campaigns and media, both reasonable logic and ultimate truth are always missing
Certainly: I always support the Palestinian cause..


Certainly: I'm extremely shocked..!

Slaughtering Sudan..!



Lowering the Sudanese Flag in Juba..
For many people, it was an confusing occasion..
Between the false wishes of prosperous tomorrow, and bitter pains of yesterday..

True: Many in the Northern Sudan curse, humiliate or disgrace the Southern Sudanese folks.. Many are open-minded enough to sincerely congratulate SS for independence.. Others are ignorant enough not to care.. Many are sad enough to feel extremely angry.. Many belong to the new fantasy and hilarious breed; who have no purpose or logic of their reactions or comments..!

True; Many in Southern Sudan feel much hatred towards the Northern Sudanese Folks.. Many envy much NS for the relatively advanced civic order.. Many want much a bigger bite from the estimated wealthy cake.. Many got the much meaningless degrees in a country ruled by unemployment and unfaithful.. Many read much about revolutionists worldwide and like very much to try.. Many enjoy very much fire the K-47.. Many still have no experience about potable water, sanitary systems, food cuisines or cloth fashions.. Many are just much rubbish to talk to, unless you go back in time..!

Today; I mourn a Country slaughtered by Globalization & Democracy..!
I reserve my rights to mourn Sudan, whom unlikely for me to observe united again, as inevitably and wishfully will be..

Sadly enough that opportunities to manage our own politics are fading out.. This is where Globalization interferes within our realization and decisions making.. Then, the appropriate road map is always and further more missed, lost or confused.. Many players are hiding in the back stage.. Let's do the math: Nile Waters, Precious Metals. Uranium, Crude, Precious Stones, and 300 million acres of fertile land.. China had already allocated one of its state companies for each of Sudanese provinces.. Isreal already exercises in Juba.. AlBasheer escape the ICC by being the 1st to acknowledge ROSS.. Qatari AlJazeerah already established a set in Juba.. $2.4 billion were vanished in SS during 2007-2010.. etc..!

Sadly enough that the mightiness of media and its cordially relations with politics and moneys had stripped all commons from brains and sights.. This times of "The Forced Consciousness" is no difference from The Forced Marriages; when the exotic aspiration of the occasion would hide the misery of personal suppression.. People joyfully chants in Juba, while seeds of suffering are hiding beyond each corner.. The SS Politicians followed the international Lobbyists in calling and working for independence, while their soft and hard resources are not sufficient for municipal administration.. If you want to pass a corrupt notion, put it for public vote..!! 70% of SS folks has no knowledge, understanding or appetite for political plans.. They dream of simple needs to be fulfilled.. which such the 98% vote will not provide..!!

We all share both guilt and gift..
We Separate to Learn how seriously and faithfully to Unite..!
We all Sudanese..!!
