اخوتنا لي عايشين بكوريا الجنوبية ما الاوضاع عندكم؟

‏الناس ما تمتحن وتصادم إلا الطيب، تلومه على ردة فعلٍ مستحقة وتحمله اثم مالا ذنب له فيه وتطالبه يصبر على غثاء غيره بحكم انه هو الاطيب، والاخر مرتاحٍ في رداه، تاركينه في حاله ويتحاشون يزعلونه بحكم انه في نظرهم عجول ويفقد أعصابه ومايعرف يوزن الامور فلا عتب عليه ولا شرهة، ميزان مقلوب.

I have a book of Abu Nuwas poetry in German , as well as a biography with excerpts of some poems in English. But I want to find Arabic originals and they are not identified in the above mentioned books.

Could someone here identify the Arabic originals if I provide an English translation?

Any normal citizen thrives to reach better levels of living, education, employment opportunities and community development. We Syrians have found ourselves in a batch of this planet where governments are not the best in doing much. This is a fact anyone approves. However, the craze of following whatever trend, and failing to identify the real causes behind the crises after 2010 les us blind.

Can we all try to understand what benefits have come to any of us if Aleppo and Idleb got annexed by Turkey??

Many people who support Assad claim to do so because he keeps the supply route to Hezbollah and Hamas open, rejects normalization with Israel, and resists western regime change. They are not lying when they say these are factors in their support, but there is another aspect to why they like him so much that does not get much attention.

To understand this, you have to think about who else constitutes the so-called Axis of Resistance: Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, Iraqi militias, and the Houthis. All of these groups are widely considered to be theocratic and Islamist to one degree or another and most secular people will have a hard time justifying their support for them. They portray themselves in a way that is generally off putting to most non-Muslims.

This is why Assad is critical. You have a blue eyed, clean shaven doctor who wears suits, lived in London, and speaks great English, along with his highly westernized wife. He runs an ostensibly secular nation and the narrative goes that he fought to protect religious minorities from extremists.

My goal here is not to argue about which of these points is true or not, but the perception is important: it gives a secular, modern face to a coalition that would otherwise be dismissed by many as being Islamist and untrustworthy. A bunch of mullahs in Iran or Houthi leaders in military fatigues are rather intimidating to people, so Assad is the soft link that gives the AoR its appeal among western and non-western "anti-imperialists" on both the far right and the far left.

East and West syria

just reminder since I have seen many people defending Assad for whatever moronic reason they have I decided to make a compilation of the crimes he committed since the conflic started

1. Total deaths

there are precise number of the total deaths, sources varies between 230,000 to 600,000 depending on the source, also most sources on the lower end describe that these were only documented cases and most precise numbers most likely to much higher.

according to UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Since the start of the conflict at least 580,000 people have been killed, including an estimated 306,887 civilians who died from 1 March 2011 to 31 March 2021

https://www.globalr2p.org/countries/syria/

according to the SNHR The report reveals that no fewer than 230,224 civilians, including 30,007 children and 16,319 women (adult female), were killed at the hands of the parties to the conflict and controlling forces in Syria between March 2011 and March 2023. The Syrian regime was responsible for 201,055 of these deaths

Salam everyone,

I hate what’s going on with our brothers and sisters in Palestine , Sudan, and now Syria. It’s like everywhere is just all collapsing especially for many of our people back home. I am also a diaspora Arab and I just don’t understand why on social media other diaspora Arabs think now , at a time when our people in Palestine Sudan and Lebanon are undergoing a genocide , war and extermination and Syria again too , think it’s the most appropriate time to start talking about the problems in our cultures. I don’t understand why I am seeing some British UK Arab diasporas thinking now is the best time to start talking about sectarian and racism in Lebanese culture and society , I don’t understand why some think NOW is the best time to to start bringing up Syrian sectarian problems , or heck even seeing non Sudanese people in the west being only fixated on how to categorize Sudanese people racially as if what’s going on in Sudan is trivial to them smh 🤦.

I just saw a video and I am not sure where this woman’s origines are , but she is Arab and she had this reel on Instagram about how some Arabs are more racist than white English people and in my head I can’t help but ask myself , at a time when we have people dehumanizing us left and right , painting us to be the worst human beings on this planet to manufacture consent to remove us from the face of the earth and to get other people to not help us while our people back home are undergoing hell, now is the time they want to talk about racism and sectarianism !!? I’ve even seen some of these people bring up the old sunni- shi’i polemic and I’m just like , SERIOUSLY??? At this time !?

Literally, when it is other groups going through chaos I never see them air their dirty laundry while the world is dehumanizing them. I remember back during the Covid era (2020-2022) there was #stopAsianHate in response to the anti Asian racism that was going on, and I did not see East Asian people on TikTok or Instagram using this time to air out the problems of Chinese or Korean culture. Even for the BLM movements in 2020, black Americans were united for their cause against police brutality and they did not use the time of the movement to start airing out the problems in their own community , but now when the Arab world is being butchered , somehow now some diaspora Arabs think it’s the best time to talk about the problems in our communities and I just have to ask why ???? Who does this in their right mind ? They’re just aiding in dehumanizing us.

Hi all unsure if this is something anyone would be interested in but in concerns how a meeting between Hafez Al-Assad and Henry Kissinger unintentionally shaped the Middle East's future. If anyone is interested heres the YouTube link:

If anyone has any feedback for me I would love to hear it so I can make better videos in the future! I have previously created videos on Libya, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Egypt, and Afghanistan also if anyone is interested :)

I can’t think of a word closer than المقتص but that doesn’t convey the unofficial capacity expressed by vigilante and expresses a more reactionary role

Part 1: United Khaeelji Republics

Part 2: Greater Tunisia

I never imagined I’d find myself in this situation, but here I am, feeling lost and helpless. My husband has been in jail for over two years now, accused in a drug-related case.

He insists he was wrongly implicated, and knowing him, I genuinely believe he got caught up in something he wasn’t directly involved in.

At first, I thought this would be resolved quickly, but the case seems to be dragging endlessly. Lawyers have been expensive, and it feels like we’re running in circles with no real progress.

The legal system is so overwhelming, and I honestly don’t know what else to do.

What makes it even harder is the stigma. Friends and family have started distancing themselves, and it’s affecting me emotionally.

I’m constantly worried about our children (we have two young ones), who are asking questions I don’t have the answers to. My parents are supportive, but I can tell they’re struggling too.

I’m desperate for guidance. Has anyone been through something similar or knows someone who has? What legal routes or strategies can I take to speed up the process or get him released? Are there any organizations or groups in the Arab world that can provide assistance in such cases?

I just want my family to feel whole again.
