without waiting for the security to get back

quickly

One of our biggest problems is

the Lebanese immigrant brains

who have been educated and trained

went to other Arab countries

Those with university degrees

and were trained for 6 or 7 years

and leaving they at least 20 or 30 or 40

It will be difficult for us in our work

For all industries

TMA is a Lebanese company in Lebanon and

it will remain in Lebanon

TMA will continue to work hardly

It will remain among the best

Lebanon will remain and TMA also

Ghazi MROUEH

I lived the war here

At the end I had enough

Morally and materially

I can no more tolerate

I decided to travel

and I received a job offer in Gulf countries

I went enthusiastic

I wanted to make money and change my life

But it did not work

I felt I had two lives

I lived there and here then I decided to return

When I returned to Beirut I thought

that things had calmed down

Asked about one of my friends

I was told that he was dead but nobody

confess how

Nobody told me why

I was very disturbed

many other things also

I dreamed of war

In addition, my friend decided to travel

then I had to go

and I could no longer travel

I do not want to leave anymore

Since I am unemployed

and I cannot find

So it is getting more and more difficult

but I decided to stay anyway

I want to stay here, I have friends

I feel that Beirut is empty

There is still war

My friend is dead

my friend has traveled or want to travel

Today I am 26 years old

The war began on 75

I was 21 years old

5 years of my life passed

5 years I have not seen anything

5 years have passed

I do not know how

If I want to find out

what I have done, nothing

at night all Lebanese looks like each other

perhaps because fear increases overnight

All night the streets are empty and

celebrations begin

And partygoers are actors who want to forget

The Saturday Night fever which is in the world

Exist in Beirut every night

Fever of getting old, fever of running after life

If only for a moment

The fever of fear of losing time

The fever fear of tomorrow

They are all beautiful every girl is a butterfly

Each young man is a prince

The generation that grew up in the bombs

The generation of those who do not know how

tomorrow will be

The generation that has inheritance the war

The generation that must not love him

but we love

Every girl is a butterfly every young man is a

prince

Hassan DAKROUB

Put it behind the Nahar International

put it behind the "Ousbou AI Arabi" behind Al

Hayat

I sell newspapers from more than 13 years

That's how I live

And despite the crisis I kept selling

newspapers

That's how I lived, I have nothing else

I love reading, I like politics

I do not have any other work than to sell

newspapers and magazines

I did this job to read and live at the same time

I am optimistic because it is my country

I believe one day things will return normal

We are optimistic Lebanese and workers

When this is over we'll rebuild

Better than before

We Lebanese are like the Phoenician bird

rising from the ashes

I searched for Mr. Mikhael

But I was told that he had traveled

I thought Mr. Mikhael will be the last person to

leave

But he has to support his family

Lebanon is rebuild

but it needs more hands

Many have left to send money to their families

and they do it because otheerwise

who knows what would have happened

everywhere in the world you can find

Lebanese working

One day they will return because

the Lebanese don't live only with money

Adnan KASSAR

Sibline

The work is being done in the rain

And this is an evidence of the strength of the

economy

This is one example among many of projects

at this time

Whether in the field of trade or industry

even in the banking sector

So thank God

the economy is doing well despite the war

Through these five years

economy remained strong

whenever the crisis stopped

the export and projects worked

I think we've prove-n

the economy was strong

So we can say that we are working

on many projects

But of course the political situation and the

security

Prevent us from producing as much as we

wanted

All this makes us confident

and gives us the strength and certainty that

one day the country will pass over all that

So all this makes us confident

and will return even better and stronger

E I-Khalil

Beyrouth

We were in Nigeria for 11 years, I worked

there

it's been two years since we think to get back

to Beirut

and start a business

Why to go back to Lebanon?

Why salmon returns to its birthplace

when he wants to give birth he returns to

the place where he was born

Why pigeons cross miles to return home

why? Lebanon is my country

I have lived here and I have been raised here

I ate from its vegetables

I was warmed by its sun

I swam in its water

The war has made me feel that I am

Lebanese

It made me feel the necessity to unite with

other Lebanese

to deal with this wave

war made me feel that there is Lebanon

Perhaps that is in Nigeria 11 years

knew that Lebanon was there or I go

there on vacation

But I never really thought of coming back

because there was no danger, but now there

is danger

Lebanese fought and spread all over the world

Now it is their duty to return and think

that Lebanon is for them

If they are not in Lebanon there will be

no Lebanon

Khaled ITANI

We are now in the hall of Broadway cinema in

the Hamra

This is not an adventure this is our country

and we are committed

We have always been pioneers

Lebanon went through many crisis

but we remain pioneers

ll did not like the movies

I don't think I would make any activity

10 to 15 hours per day between movies and

cinemas

We must continue to build,

there are people who build

and others who destroy

Ziad RAHBANI

As much as people would like to believe

that it can tell so many stories

In fact this is true

but most of these stories

are difficult to solve

because the crisis is not really over

Taking a problem to solve

at all levels

If you want to be realistic

He realizes that there are still lot of taboo

things

Telling it like it is

actually very difficult

There is a state of armed chaos

a state of non-democracy

Unlike those who think there is freedom

It is a freedom due to chaos and not

constructive freedom

I don:
believe any party accepts the truth

They could react violently to what we would

tell them

Honestly, there-Es a state of confusion that

we're all going through

I don't exactly know how things are happening

anymore

A while ago, when the war

was taking place

There was more clarity than the times, wa-z-'re

going through now

Nowadays, you feel that all the positions of the

parties

May change at any time

That is why it is so difficult to manage

current changes

I see no future

Ziad sees no future

Yes I dream or I dreamed

That suddenly became an adventurer in

Lebanon

An adventurer whose imagination

is large and his magic is strong
