Mohammed Alhabil (@mohammedalhabil200) is very sick right now. The tent he is living in does not protect him from the cold or the rain, and he has now contracted a fever that continues to worsen. In addition, one of his leg is seriously injured and he is unable to move any part of his leg. He also writes to me saying that he is dying of hunger. Mohammed is only 18 years old.

Mohammed was severely injured in a bombing that killed his brother Omar. He has already lost his father when he was 8 years old as his father was killed by the occupation in the 2014 aggression, and now he has lost his brother as well. Mohammed has been injured by the IOF on 4 separate occasions, and as a result his leg is now critically injured!

Mohammed requires continuous therapy sessions or else he may never be able to use his leg again! However, each session costs $50 a day, which is too much for him to afford! Moreover, food prices in Gaza has only continue to rise, and now they are struggling to buy food as well! Moreover, other than Mohammed, there are also 2 other people in his family who are temporarily or permanently disabled!

Mohammed's campaign is #236 on @/gazavetters vetted list, shared by 90-ghost, and vetted by association!

€11,126 raised of €20K goal!

Please help Mohammed and his family! Mohammed is very sick, battling a fever, and can only use one leg, and still he cannot rest because they do not have the money to buy food or afford the medical treatment he needs!

Dalida in The Sixth Day (Youssef Chahine, 1986)

Cast: Dalida, Mohsen Mohieddin, Shouweikar, Hamdy Ahmed, Sanaa Younes, Salah El-Saadany, Mohamed Mounir, Youssef Chahine, Abla Kamel, Hasan El-Adl, Maher Esam. Screenplay: Youssef Chahine, Hasan Al Geretly, based on a novel by Andrée Chedid. Cinematography: Mohsen Nasr. Production design: Tarek Salaheddine. Film editing: Luc Barnier. Music: Omar Khairat. 

The French-Italian pop star Dalida, who was born in Egypt, plays Saddika, a middle-aged woman living in a village during the cholera epidemic of 1947. She takes in washing to support her second husband, who is disabled, and her small grandson. Saddika catches the eye of Okka (Mohsen Mohieddine), who is 20 years younger. He's a street performer who works with a trained monkey, and he idolizes Gene Kelly -- to whom the film is dedicated. Okka doesn't have Kelly's talent as either a singer or a dancer, as a fanciful musical interlude demonstrates, but he is energetic in his wooing of Saddika. When her grandson is stricken with cholera, he helps her hide the child from the public health authorities. A bounty is awarded to anyone who reports a cholera victim, and the village is alive with people willing to snitch on their neighbors. Saddika may have good reason to conceal the boy's illness: The sick are taken to a site in the desert that is rumored to be nothing more than a death camp. The film's title comes from the belief that if you survive six days with the disease you're in the clear. Saddika and the boy end up on a river boat accompanied (reluctantly on her part) by Okka. The Sixth Day is mostly coherently narrated, and it has some fine moments of comedy and suspense, but it also contains some incidents that don't quite fit the main story. I'm not sure, for example, what's going on in a scene in which a drunken British soldier is hustled into a bright red car whose passengers are women. Dakka witnesses the incident, but it's not clear what it has to do with his story or Saddika's. I suspect that it's a scene in Andrée Chedid's novel that Youssef Chahine didn't quite integrate into his screenplay.

guys everything that has been transpiring in north gaza is so insane that it truly boggles my mind how underreported it is. 8 days and counting of siege in north gaza that's killing hundreds of palestinians daily ("genocide within a genocide"), almost half a million people left with no food, water, or electricity, jabalia camp is literally being reduced to rubble as we speak, no signs of the bombing in lebanon abating with time, north gaza is utterly sealed off from the rest of gaza city, mass expulsion and starvation everywhere--and it's just getting worse. please don't be fooled that it's any better because people have chosen to stop caring. it's every bit as horrific as ever before

Mohamed Abla (Egyptian, b. 1953)

Between Heaven and Earth, 2016

Mixed media on canvas

[lboogie1906]

King Mohammed ben Youssef (August 10, 1909 - February 26, 1961) the third son of Sultan Moulay Youssef, was born in Fez, Morocco. He became King Mohammed V of independent Morocco. When his father died, the French selected him to succeed his father. On November 18, 1927, he was given the title Sultan Mohammed V of Morocco.

In 1934 he encouraged the French to abandon the policy of having two distinct legal systems. The French rescinded this policy that year. Protests against the policy had led to nationalists organizing and demanding independence from France. He maintained discreet contacts with the nationalists; secretly collaborating with them on some issues. The nationalists worked to make the Sultan a national symbol and organized an annual Throne Day to commemorate his assumption of power.

By 1947 he was openly siding with the nationalist cause. The French reacted by verbally attacking him and limiting his power. These actions simply increased his popularity. In 1951 the French surrounded his palace with troops to “protect” him and he was made to denounce the nationalist movement.

He continued to infuriate the French and in 1953, he was exiled to Corsica and Madagascar. His popularity soared among the Moroccan people and nationalist violence spread throughout the country. He returned to rapturous crowds welcoming him home. The French changed tactics and began negotiating with him and the nationalist parties for Moroccan independence. On March 2, 1956, a treaty was signed recognizing Moroccan independence. He was Chief of State and his son, Moulay Hassan, was Commander of the Army.

He preferred to be an arbiter between various political and ethnic factions. Revered for his efforts to unify Morocco’s various interest groups, he took the title, “King”. His son, Hassan was made deputy prime minister in addition to being head of the army. He withdrew from politics.

His first wife was Lalla Hanila bent Mamoun, mother of Princess Lalla Fatima Zohra. Lalla Abla bint Tahar was his second wife. She had five children. His last wife was Lalla Bahia bint Anwar, mother of Princess Lalla Amina. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

Les plus célèbres fournisseurs de programmes pour enfants.. Mort d’un "abla fadil" à l’âge de 94 ans

Les plus célèbres fournisseurs de programmes pour enfants.. Mort d’un "abla fadil" à l’âge de 94 ansLa vedette de la radio égyptienne Fadel Abdelaziz, connue sous le nom de "abla fadil", est décédée jeudi à l’âge de 94 ans au Canada. Le défunt est né le 4 janvier 1929, et est le présentateur le plus célèbre d’émissions pour enfants à la radio égyptienne. Abla est diplômée de la Faculté de droit, mais en 1953 elle a rencontré le radiodiffuseur "Baba Sharu", dont le vrai nom est Mohamed Mahmoud Sha 'aban, et a exprimé son souhait qu’elle soit un jour un radiodiffuseur pour enfants. En effet, il l’a aidée à réaliser son rêve, et elle a été affectée à la radio du ministère des Transports de l’époque, en première lecture du bulletin, et après six ans de formation et de travail, elle est passée à la télévision. #السودان #إفريقيا #الإمارات #مصر #المغرب # الاردن #الجزائر #السعودية #البحرين #الكويت Read the full article

Art Travelling: Mohamed Abla and the colours of Egypt

Art Travelling: Mohamed Abla and the colours of Egypt #painting #exhibition #Cairo

Abla’s paintings demonstrate how Egypt’s wonderful topography is seen with a painter’s eye.  In my last essay I wrote about how Cairo is the ‘yellow city’,  its colors dominated by the tonality of the Desert Sands which surround the capital. Here I’m writing about how Egyptian artists reflect the natural topography of Egypt but particularly the bounty and munificence of the Nile, with its Riot…
