العراقي بين الأم والزوجة

 

كعادة عرب القرن الواحد والعشرين ، فلقد أنبرى الكثيرين لتحويلها الى بلدانهم بدلاً من العراق ، لقد قرأتها من سوداني ومصري وتونسي ومغاريبي ... وعلى أي حال ، فالمعنى واحد برغم الدويلات

حدث في مطار دبي:

مواطن عراقي في مطار دبي عند التخليص الجمركي تأخذ موظفة الجوزات جواز سفره كي تضع ختم الدخول عليه :

فنظرت إليه وهي تبتسم ...

وسألته: من تحب أكثر العراق أم الامارات

فقال لها:

الفرق عندي بين العراق و ألإمارات

كالفرق بين الأم والزوجة ....

فالزوجة أختارها ..

أرغب بجمالها ..

أحبها .. أعشقها ..

لكن لا يمكن أن تنسيني أمي ..

الأم... لا أختارها ولكني أجد نفسي ملكها ..

لا أرتاح الا في أحضانها ..

ولا أبكي إلا على صدرها ..

وأرجو الله ألا أموت إلا على ترابٍ تحت قدميها ..

Fear of a Stone..

Mankind was destined to an infinitive struggle between both extremes: Good & Bad.. Our intellectual arrogance had denounced all divine referrals and associated surrender to the unknown.. Therefore, the counterbalance changed form Metaphysics into Psychopathy; providing no answer but radicalism.. The older generations had contended way of life more than ours.. yet; we are much contended than the following.. An inevitable evolution of materialism with cycles of frustrations' violence.. Such violence is varied from increased rates of bad politics, hatred, domestic violence, trafficking, suicide up to ISIL..!!

  

Yes, the Story of Stones..
All civilizations were built by Stones.. All victories were marked by destruction of Stones.. Taliban and ISIL feared the Stones.. Austerity and Gazi protestors raised the Stone..

What a combination..!

Political Utopia..

During the last 15 months, which had the nickname Arabic Spring; lots of serious debates and hilarious hypocrisy had enabled the outstanding (and profitable) circulations of both old and new media.. Many names came out as commentators, analysts and journalists.. Several hundred became overnight notable political activists, while dozens of others became overnight leaders-in-charge.. However, such chaos reflects decades of bizarre ideology creation and transformation.. Arabs had that articulation in 1970th, whereas all political mandates and sociopolitical characteristics had changed..

Despite how the dream of Utopia was agreed to be unrealistic and symbolic; it had conceived with the inevitably-realistic politics; and delivered mass confusion and uncertainty.. People, particularly the youth, had turned their gatherings in streets, cafes, clubs, institutions and Facebook into race for assumptions, rumors and imputed facts.. The high rates of cultural deficit and isolation; had made it easy to translate the domains, and fill the context by inadequate local substances.. Both intelligentsia and commons were easy prey by professional monopolies and distractions; and by their own Political Utopia..

The devil was locally made by a supposedly intellectual elite, whose exposure to the world is limited.. Linguistic barriers, poor translation-production, and natural resilience of local stigmas (compared to the world); had collectively isolated the events from cold (external) critiques or support.. People loved the hot and exciting events of demonstrations, assassinations, retaliations, biographies and Utopias.. As how most Arabs were always attached to their personalized media, locally or abroad (apart from the Turkish drama); as how their epistemic realizations are intellectually challenged.. The unspoken Arabic priggism is a Preserver of identity, a Product of history, and a Protector against globalization.. Nevertheless, Utopia has to be global, as each “Self” needs the “Other” to knows itself..

Only Tunisians had safely sailed with their “Jasmine”; by their cross border debates, while all other Arabs are fractured, distracted and disarray.. Not only the price of self realization is high, but also the goals become uncertain.. It was not Facebook that ignited the protest, but the unemployment.. It was not the intellectuals who run the upraising, but the radical Islamists.. It was not the nicely written political manifests, but the eye catching banners.. It was not the returned fortune-expatriates, but who shared malnutrition, malfunction and malformation.. All other Political Parties fade by their lack of organization, resilience and devotion.. Despite how the Islamist had ruled Sudan since 1989, Arabic Intelligentsia is proven freakily unconscious, extremely ignorant and severely challenged..

This is not about how Islamists are good or bad, but about how the consensus is.. Certainly, political mechanism will eventually develop a winner, but on what cost..? The concurrent events tells how the public is childish comparable to the administrations.. This supports patriarchy and big-brotherhood advocacy rather than revolt against.. Violence, physical and verbal; interprets the self destruction rather than salvation.. Gradual surrender is commonly growing due to the natural contractions against Change.. Political Utopia is gradually replaced by Maslow’s roles.. As Arabs start to know the true Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his Justice and Development Party, Arabic Spring successfully replaces the Turkish dramas..!!

This article by inspired by Moroccan constitutional changes, Algerian iron fest, Tunisian mature reconciliation, Libyan power struggle, Egyptian epistemic disarray, Sudanese octopus regime, Yemeni fractured elite, Saudi radical victories, Bahraini string-toys, Kuwaiti strong tides, Iraqi politics of greed, Syrian search of leadership, Lebanon trades for prosperity, Jordanian calculated moves, and Palestinian aging breath.. Hemdan's Green Coast carfuly watches and analyzes.. AfroArabs of Mauritania, Somalia and Djibouti are left for Africom for appropriate actions..!!

Water..

The 21st Century is the Resources Century.. and Water’s Wars are the most expected dominated features across the Globe.. Dr M.; as usual, sharp and intelligent with soft messages, draw the attention, not only on International relations, but also within the national composition.. I guess this might be helpful for the decision makers back home in Sudan, in Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Israel, Lebanon, Libya, Niger, Zimbabwe, Afghanistan, China, etc.. !!

1. Pahang will soon be selling water to Selangor/KL. I don't think Pahang would be happy to receive 3 sen per thousand gallons.
2. Melaka has been paying Johore 30 sen per thousand gallons and is still doing so and will continue to do so I suppose. Would Johore be asking for more than 30 sen in the future? God knows.
3. In 2011 the first agreement with Singapore to sell 350 million gallons of raw water daily at 3 sen per thousand gallons will end. What would we do then? I suspect despite Singapore's famous Newater, it would still need the 350 million gallons daily.
4. The other treaty would end by 2060 in which the price is also 3 sen per thousand gallons. But without the 350 million gallons daily according to the first treaty, Singapore's rapidly increasing population of new immigrants would not have enough water.
5. So, the amount supplied according to the first treaty would be even more crucial despite Newater and desalination.
6. The Government of Tun Abdullah had very cleverly decided not to raise any of the issues outstanding with Singapore after the bridges were jettisoned. I suppose this charitable act would help cement friendship with that city-state with a per capita income of US$36,000 (Malaysia's per capita incidentally is US$7,000, i.e one-fifth of Singapore).
7. 2011 is not too far away. Have we thought about extending the 2011 treaty or not extending it or negotiating a new water supply agreement? Are we going to be charitable again and sell raw water at 3 sen per thousand gallons to our rich neighbour?
8. Being charitable and not raising prickly issues is a good way to make friends. But what is the cost to the people of Malaysia.

Iraqi Qawliya

In 7th century; Gypsies (or Urban Nomads) had mysteriously migrated from Northwest of India into the worldwide, even across the Atlantic to USA.. Along their historic journeys, they had blinded their passion to music, colors and dance, with all cultural features they passed through.. Their traditional practices of easy and all-free way of life, had enabled them filling the gaps in urban communities with entertainment, magic and fantasies.. They shared the same fate worldwide as being humiliated, prosecuted and discriminated wherever they go..!!

Apparently, the Iraqi branch had reached the plains of Euphrates much earlier after long grooming in Persia.. Comfortably, the 12th century may be consider as an early arrival date..

The Iraqi branch had solely been entertainers, while some of their clans who moved northwest been vendors.. Notably; they had heavily contributed to evolution of Oriental Dance, namely the Baladi or Bedouin type..

Generally; Gypsies are always skillful to adapt local languages, religions and traditions; while preserving their own historic cultural roots..!
