L’auteur présumé de l’attentat contre le marathon de #Boston s’appellait #Tamerlan
Ce nom inspira déjà les poètes des années 1920. Il n’y a pas de rapport direct avec les événements ni avec le personnage précis, pourtant dans les jours á venir on verra surgir au sein des colonnes des journaux des récits fantasmagoriques inspirés d’images ataviques.

Mir ist heut so nach Tamerlan!

Tamerland war Herzog der Kirgisen und jeder Mensch in Asien wusste wohl das.
Tamerland ritt ueber gruene Wiesen und wo der Junge einmal hintrat wuchs kein Gras.
Und alle Frauen lauschten angstvoll seinem Schritt und fielen die Staedte, fielen die Maedchen alle mit.
Er war auch stets zu einem wilden Kampf bereit, das war in Asien eine schoene Zeit.
Mir ist heut so nach Tamerland nach Tamerlan zumut. Ein kleines bisschen amerland, ja Tamerland waer gut.
Es waere ja, geniert mich das, geniert mich das, gelacht. Ich glaube es passiert noch was, passiert noch was heut nacht.
Mir ist heut so nach Tamerland nach Tamerlan zumut. Ein kleines bisschen Tamerland ja Tamerland waer gut.
Und sehe ich ins Publikum da liegt heut so ein Fluidium.
Ach Mensch geh mir weg.
Es hat ja nur Zweck mit dem Tamerland.

Mir ist heut so nach Tamerlan!

Tamerland was the Duke of the Kirghizia,
famous throughout Asia.
Tamerland rode over green meadows
and where he stepped, grass no longer grew.
And all the women listened, fearful of his steps.
When the towns fell, the girls fell too.
He was always ready for a savage fight.
That meant a nice time in Asia.

CHORUS:

I’m longing for Tamerland, for Tamerland.
A little bit of Tamerland, yes, Tamerland would be good.

It could happen – I’m embarrassed, I’m embarrassed,
I know it sounds ridiculous.
I believe something is going to happen tonight.

CHORUS:

I’m longing for Tamerland, for Tamerland.
A little bit of Tamerland, yes, Tamerland would be good.

And when I look into the audience,
there is definitely something in the air.
[to men in the audience] Stay away from me!
It only makes sense with Tamerland

Not Enough Water in the West Bank?
▻http://www.jadaliyya.com/pages/index/10732/not-enough-water-in-the-west-bank

Friday is World Water Day and an opportune time to highlight the gross misallocation of water resources between Israel and the Palestinians.

(...)

This info graphic is created by Visualizing Palestine and EWASH, an international coalition of thirty humanitarian organizations including Oxfam and Save the Children. It depicts the abundance of available water in the occupied West Bank, its appropriation, and ethno-national based distribution between Palestinians and Jewish-Israeli settlers. EWASH will be using this image to highlight the inequitable access to water among other humanitarian organizations during President Obama’s visit to the region.

Visualizing Human Rights for Migrant Workers in Lebanon
►http://www.jadaliyya.com/pages/index/9214/visualizing-human-rights-for-migrant-workers-in-le

Five decades after the development of the kefala [sponsorship] system, Lebanon’s 200,000 migrant domestic workers continue to be denied their inalienable rights, including freedom of movement, just conditions of work, the right to marry and to found a family, the right to legal recognition, and freedom from inhuman or degrading treatment. In recognition of International Migrants Day on 18 December, Migrant Workers’ Task Force, AltCity.me, and graphic designer Joumana Ibrahim worked with a group of young graphic designers to visualize migrant workers’ rights and hardships. The result is a series of images that illustrate the human rights abuses brought about by the sponsorship system.

The sponsorship system was developed in the 1950s to provide temporary labor during economic booms that could then be expelled during periods of economic downturn. Yet, rather than providing temporary labor, migrant workers remain in Lebanon for years in vulnerable conditions with the threat of detention, unpaid wages, arrest, and deportation should they demand their rights.

The root of the problem is that migrant domestic workers’ immigration status is bound to their sponsor. Migrant domestic workers cannot enter the country, transfer employment, travel within the country, or leave the country without permission from their sponsor. The sponsor almost always confiscates the passport and travel documents of the worker, restricts their contacts outside the home, and often prevents them from leaving the home entirely. Migrant domestic workers are thus completely dependent on their sponsor for food, housing, healthcare, wages, leisure, communications, and other basic freedoms.

This system violates basic human rights as guaranteed by Lebanese ratification of various human rights treaties. Under Lebanese and international human rights law, individuals cannot be held in conditions of slavery or servitude, cannot be subjected to inhuman or degrading treatment, have the right to work, the right to free choice of employment, the right to just conditions of work, and the right to rest and leisure, including reasonable limits on working hours and holidays with pay. In recognition of International Migrants Day, we call for migrant domestic workers to be covered under the Lebanese labor law, to have their immigration status decoupled from their employer, and to be given the same rights and protection as Lebanese citizens.

Dia al-Azzawi’s «Sabra and Shatila Massacre»
►http://www.jadaliyya.com/pages/index/8056/dia-al-azzawis-sabra-and-shatila-massacre-

http://www.jadaliyya.com/content_images/fck_images/AlAzzawiTateModern.jpg

Earlier this year, London’s Tate Modern acquired “Sabra and Shatila Massacre” (1982-83), an epic mural-sized drawing by pioneering Iraqi artist Dia al-Azzawi. Sprawling as it is towering and engulfing, the artist began the massive work after news surfaced that between two and three thousand Palestinian and Lebanese civilians were strategically murdered in and around the refugee camps of southern Beirut in 1982. While creating “Sabra and Shatila Massacre,” al-Azzawi was also moved by Jean Genet’s “Four Hours in Shatila,” a written dispatch of the hell on earth that was the site of this civil-war era carnage, the violent details of which are impossible to take in without periodically searching for respite by turning away from the page.

Les arabes haïssent-ils les femmes ? Mona Eltahawy face à la tempête

Article original en anglais: Why do they hate us? : ►http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2012/04/23/why_do_they_hate_us

La chroniqueuse égypto-américaine Mona Eltahawy a, à nouveau, suscité la controverse en publiant dans le Foreign Policy Magazine de ce 23 avril 2012, un article traitant de la discrimination envers les femmes au Moyen-Orient intitulé ‘Pourquoi nous haïssent-ils ?‘.

Dont voici la traduction sur Slate.fr : ►http://www.slate.fr/story/54247/printemps-arabe-haine-femmes

Eltahawy y affirme que les sociétés arabes sont fondamentalement misogynes et que les incessantes violences envers les femmes “alimentées par un mélange à la fois de culture et de ‘religion” tendent à se généraliser.

De nombreux journalistes, blogueurs et activistes arabes ont critiqué la manière dont Mona Eltahawy a formulé ses arguments et ont exprimé leur colère face aux images accompagnant l’article - une jeune femme nue, le corps recouvert d’une peinture noire semblable au niqab - arguant que celles-ci constituaient une représentation stéréotypée des femmes arabes.

Similar to Mubarak of Egypt, Bahrain’s Emir Hamad, and Muammar Gadhafi of Libya, Ali Abdallah Salih was more vulnerable to the 2011 popular uprisings because, during the previous decade, he cowered before American demands in the region.
