'm beginning to think about having a certain capacity to tirarmeli him, the mess. Of course the devastating earthquake of 2007 in Peru was not expected, and it was only a fluke that these two hurricanes have been shot down over Havana, after a summer, just in time cui ci stazionavo io. Mi rendo anche razionalmente conto che tra me e il risveglio dell’orgoglio panarabista ci sono ben pochi nessi causali, eppure eccomi qui - spettatore privilegiato di quella che viene gia’chiamata Primavera Araba.
Il Libano è un’osservatorio d’eccezione: un mese e mezzo fa arrivai in quella che era la nazione più instabile dell’area mediorientale, e paradossalmente mi trovo oggi nella più sicura. Questo perchè in assenza di governo e in piene consultazioni per formarlo, il Libano ha oggi l’occasione di anticipare un’eventuale contestazione prestando attenzione alle richieste del suo popolo. Che poi effetivamente do so remains to be seen, but in the meantime, the Lebanese seem much more focused on the evolution of events excited comment in the other Arab states who worry about the future of their (and look closely, they are right: there have been so many decades in ' eye of the storm this time take the opportunity to see how it looks from outside).
My life in the Middle East and then runs on the tracks of change at the macro level as a witness the historical event, but also to an equally unexpected micro level that unfolds in the newspaper, and which is directly responsible Beirut. The capital is a schizophrenic city, charming and exaggerated at the same time, where the day flows Jerky in a perpetual fast forward. When you get used to today, is tomorrow.
Robert Fisk, a great day my fellow war reporter, summed up this unfinished perpetual motion saying that "in the Middle East sometimes you feel that no event has ever finished a horizon that does not turn the page and never never come the moment when to say enough is enough . It 's true, the Middle East is the certainty of uncertainty, and it is his flamboyant ambassador to Beirut. When something sembra potersi (e doversi) concludere, all’improvviso succede qualche altra cosa ritrascinandoti nel turbine dei colpi di scena, delle melodie senza una conclusione, delle combinazioni all’apparenza impossibili.
Non per forza tutto questo è negativo: sicuramente nella soleggiata capitale libanese non ci si annoia mai, e la vita ha lo spiccato gusto frizzante dell’eterna sorpresa. Ma bisogna abituarsi all’idea, e al fatto che per tirare il fiato non c’è nessuna fine primo tempo.
In questa girandola di emozioni, la mia esistenza qui trova compimento nella ragione per cui mi sono spinto tra tante palme e tanto hummus : ALPHA, the organization I work with, it is finally taking part. Together with my colleague, partner in crime and friend Nina (in addition to being Program Coordinator of the NGO and 'an extraordinary person that helped me a lot of the environment) we are trying to reschedule the organization and implement strategies in the medium and long term, and getting the first concrete results of that washed pluerinnale work in the area of \u200b\u200bideas, energy and enthusiasm is returning to bear fruit. Being co-star of this process is the best training I ever could have asked for an internship, because it transcends the internship: a continuous and challenging to test, meanwhile building their own probable future. That my life is not destined to run out of Lebanon in late May?
In these first forty days of the Lebanon-a place I fell in love, people, lifestyle, food, and the job they came here. Still do not get excited language, excessive presence of French and French (except Marc, mythical boy Nina), the exhaust gas and the prices do not moderate some of the capital. But as they say here, mafi moshkel , no problem.
So everything will disappear in the near beiruttina daring moment of the night, replaced by a new unexpected development of the event.
A hug ephemeral
Tommy
