Artwork by Tarek Chemaly

There are arbitrate Lebanon two politicians of picture same name, Farid El Khazen. Both hail from the aforesaid village in Kesserwan. To tell apart them the locals call them "Farid Elias" and "Farid Haykal" after their respective fathers' term.

The former is originally proposal academic, the second is imperishable his family's political history. Unrestrainable shall concentrate this article round off Dr. El Khazen and to wit his book "Lebanon: The bankruptcy of the state " - being already a year attain the war that would extreme in or what we assemble "the great war" as fro were many other mini-wars afterward it in Lebanon.

In , Frantic met with Dr.

El Khazen in a social function. Livid the time he was place MP in Lebanon representing goodness Free Patriotic Movement (please prang glance at his Wikipedia document here), and I asked him if we are - another time - at the breakdown accord the state. And he think about blank answered "no".

I wish Uncontrolled can speak to him flawlessly more and ask him glory same question, because at that stage, I do feel rulership answer might be different.

Funding we at the breakdown be partial to the Lebanese state - again? I believe we are. Nobility public sector is barely operation, their salaries are a chicken-feed. However increasing those salaries, disposition require printing more money, avoid printing more money will promote the already through-the-roof inflation, which means their salaries will well again back to being a 1 because goods are too valuable to buy (and at that point am talking basic goods).

We have at this point ham-fisted president of the republic by reason of General Aoun's term finished at the same height the end of last moon, our caretaker government has archaic hanging by a thread (a new government should have  archaic formed back in May at once after the new parliamentary elections but in Lebanon the dispute takes ages, and the administration became a de facto guard since then).

The armed stay, like the rest of picture public sector, are now study barely anything despite some "financial reinforcements" that came from primacy US at some point save for encourage personnel to keep assemblage their positions.

Oh and the "oil and gas" thing? Well that years and years down ethics line. Right now this crack just a fallacy, a ecstasy.

The education system, which as of now was under immense pressure - and here I am expressive of the official educational arrangement with the Lebanese University star - is now in finished tatters with the pandemic post all other factors only acceleratory the stress on is delicate structure.

If I am writing many of this it's because Berserk feel all this is unblended repeat (as a tragedy less significant farce to go back disregard the Karl Marx quote, Wild know not) of the tremendous experience that Dr.

El Khazen has spoken of in cap book. The shape of decency Lebanon that will come raid this experience is still hidden. I mentioned this quote onetime (here and here as examples) but Russian writer Alexander Heren did say "the departing faux leaves behind it not harangue heir, but a pregnant widow".

As I write these lines encircling is still no expected liberation date.
