A new singer joined the group of Bachar L Assad entertainers, after Najwa Karam, Wael Kfoury and some other Lebanese singers sang for the dictator Sabah followed and decided to sing for his dictatorship praising the fact that he wont get his ass of the chair.

Sabah sang for him during the Damascus Cinema festival were she received an award. I know Lebanese singer and artists in general are not appreciated, supported and respected by the Lebanese government but that shouldn’t get her to sing for this guy that contributed a lot in forming this breed of politicians that got Lebanon to the place it is in today.

Here’s an extract of the article from AnNahar.

في حفل تكريمها بمهرجان دمشق السينمائي الخامس عشر، فاجأت الفنانة صباح ادارة المهرجان والحضور باصرارها على غناء موال يمتدح الرئيس السوري بشار الاسد.
وقد احتاجت صباح الى مساعدة لاعتلاء منصة التكريم والوقوف قائلة: “ما زلت أستطيع الوقوف بفضل محبتكم”، وأصرت على غناء موال يمدح “شموخ” الرئيس السوري الذي “لا يهتز عرشه”، اضافة الى مقطع من احدى اغنياتها القديمة

The Free Hugs Campaign is an Internet-spread phenomenon that appears to have begun in June, 2004, and was widely publicized in 2006 by a music video on YouTube. The phenomenon involves individuals who offer hugs to strangers in public settings. The campaign is an example of a random act of kindness, a selfless act performed by a person for the sole reason of making others feel better. The original organizer has stated in interviews that the purpose is not to get names, phone numbers, or dates.

This campaign reached Lebanon and the organizers published a video of the campaign on YouTube, it’s great to see that people can still spread love in the middle of the hatred spread everyday by politicians.

Tonight on Kalem L Neiss Marcel Ghanem read a Fax sent from the Chikhani Family inviting people to gather on Wednesday, the 3rd of october at 8 PM in front of Biel, to march with candles to the “Place de L’Etoile” in memory of Charles Chikhani. I’ll try to go and invite everyone to join the family of Charles on that day.

Before starting the show they showed a report about the victims of the explosion, during the report Charle’s Brother spoke about Lebanon, the Lebanese and the politicians, and I have to say I completely agree with him!

La marche de Charles Chikhani

C’est l’appel d’un peuple blessé
Refusant l’absence du fils
Refusant la souffrance de la mère
S’exprimant en silence
Tous de blanc vêtus
Une bougie à la main
Le mercredi 3 octobre a 20h
Du BIEL à la Place de l’Etoile
Participez à la Marche de Charles Chikhani
Ou éclairez vos fenêtres d’une bougie

The rally of Charles Chikhani

Is a wounded people’s call
Crying out in silence
Refusing the loss of a son
Refusing the suffering of a mother
Inviting us to light a candle
All dressed in white
On Wednesday October 3rd at 8 p.m.
From BIEL to Parliament Square
Come and join the walk of Charles Chikhani
Or light a candle at your window
