A brief story of wars... a world next door which we never knew, never understand, never will...
Syria...
3 years and more of a crazy, selfish and illogical war...
3 years of which souls, hearts and minds have been destroyed...
A war that sneaked through the doors stealthily without knocking, to settle down in the homes and humiliate their owners...
A war in which children and women were sold in slave markets...
A war that brought the nation's mothers to tears and exhausted its men...
A war that never knew its beginning, a war dreaming of its end...
And in Iraq...
...there has been a liberation for more than 10 years.
A liberation from injustice, oppression and tyranny...
...that came with a greater tyranny, injustice and oppression.
A liberation in which the people of the country were all expelled...
A liberation that divided what is already divided and broke what's already broken...
A liberation where civilizations cease to exist...
A liberation in which all the Iraqi citizens were marginalized regardless of their ethnic and religious background...
A liberation that enslaved people and demolished homes, one that killed the human and motherland...
For the past 40 years, Lebanon and its people have suffered all kinds of wars.
A civil war... a religious war and a sectarian war...
and agressive invasions... and paying the price for regional turmoils...
and international compromises and deals...
40 years that made little Lebanon very big in its scars and daily struggles...
40 years of pain... a pain in most cases, resistant and silent...
Palestine...
The compass directing all causes...
The biggest and oldest of them all...
More than 60 years of violations and howls of generations witnessing the illogicality of yesterday, barbarity of today and fear of tomorrow...
Expelling, abusing and deprivation of rights followed by deprivation of land...
More than 60 years in which geography has gradually disappeared so that new borders can be drawn...
...borders that penetrate hearts and minds...
Borders that refused to be fused so they cling to history and the future...
Borders that create a resistant present and people with willpower...
...for an existing, alive and lasting nation.
Our contries...
The countries of wars and pain...
The countries of love and dreams...
Our contries...
