Video of the week -- the voice of freedom



From Egypt. My Arabic is limited and Egyptian dialect is different from what I studied, but I can understand the chorus:

Fî kulli shâri' fî blâdî
Sowt il-horeyya bînâdî

In every street in my country
The voice of freedom is calling

I'm watching Libya and Bahrain with considerable interest right now, as are many people across the globe.

The best place I've found to follow Libya is al-Jazeera's live blog here.

Did you see the new French Ambassador's gaffe in Tunisia ?

I hope the freedom answers to their calling in Egypt and doesn't fall under the religious radicals or military.

Can't say I have -- are you referring to this?

Yes, I was talking about the same thing. Whole France is laughing about it now...especially when his [sexy] photo appeared online and the far right racist Marine Le Pen pointed out to the journalists the Baywatch style photo of the French Ambassador to the tele.

More info here : http://www.france24.com/en/20110222-french-diplomacy-ghastly-new-year-sarkozy-mam-tunisia-cassez-boillon

Why France is shocked is because, this Ambassador called himself on a TV show last november that he is a "sarko-boy" and that Khaddafi calls him "mon fils" (my son) and he also said that : in the past, khaddafi was perhaps (the word perhaps was corrected by a journalist immediately) a terrotist but not anymore and he is a good person.

He talks like Sarkozy, he walks like him and he also kinda looks like him... This gives all the attention !!!

Please be on-topic and read the comments policy. Spam, trolls, and fight-pickers will be deleted. If you don't have a Blogspot account and aren't sure how to comment, please see here. Fair warning -- I reject all comments containing any of the following:

1. Support for transgenderism
2. Negativity about Brexit
3. Support for a military draft or compulsory national service

I am not obligated to provide a platform for views I find morally abhorrent. And obviously I'm going to delete anything which is just quoting what an "AI" said. I want to hear from you, not from the always-wrong hallucination machine.

No comments advocating violence against any specific identifiable individual, even jokingly.

Please be considerate -- no political or politics-tinged comments on non-political posts, and no performative cynicism. Finally, please remember that this is a personal blog whose main purpose is to encourage contact from people with similar interests and world-views to mine. I really don't much care for arguing and debating; if arguing and debating is what you want, there are plenty of other places on the internet which welcome that.

From now until the finalization of the election results, no comments claiming the Republicans (or Democrats) will or can "steal" the election. It's pointless to engage with such stuff, and it promotes defeatism, which makes people less likely to vote or otherwise be politically active.
