You should pay salaries, gasoline,

electricity and raw materials

We are going to stay here we have hope

Maybe it will get better I am optimistic

like all Lebanese

We are optimistic because it must get better

Everything indicates that it will get better

In a year, in 10 years, but it will get better

frankly, during the war I stayed in Beirut

during the war I was exhausted

my feelings, my thoughts

every few weeks I started to love coming to

Baalbeck

it is a way to retrieve my memories and my

childhood

we see parents

I felt that I have new feelings

like nostalgia for the family

It seems that I lost this feeling from a long time

Now when I come to Baalbeck I feel comfort

between my parents

I remember school time and childhood

I see my school friends

I really feel good

It helps you in your an?

No doubt

It helps sometimes times on the other hand

there are things that makes me feel sad

You return to Baalbeck, you are from

Baalbeck

But you draw and live in Beirut

Honestly, I've lived in Baalbeck, I'm here

I think that I swallowed

The spirit of Baalbeck, nature, its rituals, its

seasons

I was an impressionable child

always surrounded by nature

forests, valleys, mountains, trees

During the war, I drew people isolated by their

selves and sanctuary solitary

Praying

return to loneliness, isolation, Sufism and fear

rejecting today's life

return to oneself and searching for a dialogue

with it

through one or two people meeting

on one point

Rafic CHARAF Baalbeck

Maya, come here

People always tell you that you're pretty?

Yes, they all say that I am and I'm pretty

God has made me pretty

yes I am pretty what shall I do?

I am very pretty my face is pretty

I'm fully pretty

the prettiest in thing in me is my eyes that's

all

my mouth, nose, ears, forehead and

everything.

And my hair

I would like to be a doctor

I do not like to be an actress, I do not like

dancing

Uncle Rafic is beautiful and talented

Talented as a painter, he is the best

Five years of war Who knows when it will

end?

Whenever we see the light somebody comes

and turn it off

5 years

Some are dead, others lost their children

Some are homeless others lost their homes

some left, others gone mad

5 years of war

what we changed during the war

We listen to each other talking about the war

and we say no problem and everything is

going well

suddenly, there is war and everyone closes on

himself

and the world then ignites, everything was fine

who is lying?

I miss Beirut nights and days

AI Borj square, the fish market

European market, Our Lady of Nourieh

Newspaper sellers and when the bridge was a

bridge

I miss the voices of my friends

I miss the days when we could quarrel

And then reconcile

Quarrel was nice because we had the liberty

to reconcile

I miss watching children throwing stones on

each other

I miss Marjeyoun and it's Labneh

I miss going to the Cedars and after a while

arrive to Zahle

Then go back to Sawfar

And on my way I change my mind

Then pass through Barouk

Down to Damour

If I like to eat fish I continue my way to Tyr

Lebanon was like a fist

We toured it in one clay and a night

It was our home

Henri Pharaon

Lebanon is a symbol that depends on its

economy

Which is very important to us

I know about the conflicts you have faced

I'm looking at the port and my heart grows

How do you explain your success?

Lady Nadia port as you have said

The port is essential to the life of a country

So we considered we should do all what we

can do

even at the risk of our lives as the men port

To open the port and keep it active

The reasons that led us to open the port

are economic, financial and social

Regarding the economic and Finance you

know that

a great part of the country resources

are from the port of Beirut

On the other hand, the closure of the port

encourage smuggling that increase the prices

So from an economic point of view it is a

vitality issue

On the other side of the point from the social

view

15,000 people work in port

And the majority of them are daily workers

So if they do not work simply they will not

survive if they do not work they do not eat

the majority of these workers are from South

so their problem is doubled

Being in Beirut and not work

Frankly, men port are many

They risked their lives for the duty under these

circumstances

Nations pass through hard times

We've been through these hard times maybe it

was harder than others

Despite all these difficulties we had a duty to

perform

The men of the port completely performed

their jobs

They were not employees and workers

They were soldiers and the port a front

The Association for the protection and

improvement the Arab horse race

Not only to run horses

but also to give people the chance to meet

together

in brotherhood and coexistence

which is the reason of our existence and

dignity

Today I can say that this coexistence I's

necessary, not like before

but more than before

since the circumstances are difficult so we

need

Congratulations

Every Lebanese need the unity of Lebanon

wants one heart for Lebanon

Beirut wants Neither East nor West

Fouad ChOUCAIR Sinn El Fil

Today we started working

Like all Lebanese factories

Our problems were the migrating workers

we were forced to hire new teams

and modernize equipment because the

market's demands have changed

because we stopped working for 2 and a half

years

during which new machines were designed

It was difficult because we needed the factory

to be independent

We just need more income

to provide the factory with new equipment

Due to the crisis in Lebanon in the Lebanese

market

There is less money at the market

We were forced to deal with external markets

African and European

We continue working because it is a national

duty

And since we live in this country so it is our

responsibility

we must support

Foad SANYOURA

Central Bank

The banking sector was prepared to play a

major role

As a main financial position in the Arab world

What helped was the presence of a good standard

of infrastructure, services and transport

In addition to the presence of skilled and

qualified human resources

All this has paved the way

To rate an increasing role in the region

And plays a great role in transferring

the Arab treasury to investments

Whether in Arab countries or abroad

This situation prevailed before the war

So with the start of the events

the bank sector could get

out and establish new branches

in the Lebanese regions

to serve the people and the Lebanese

economy

In addition, the Central Bank tried to face

emigration

a large number of Lebanese left to work

abroad

it tried to ensure modern services

to serve the Lebanese working in Europe

or Arab countries

It is true that many banks have profits in

recent years

But most of these profits are hypothetical

and can only work if debtors pay their debts

War leaves its effects for long time after it
