 The three-year-old boy in Samira's arms was so filthy that she had to wrap him up in her bed sheets. Dirt caked his hair and face, leaving only his drugged eyes exposed. He wouldn’t stop crying.
Samira had spotted the boy a few hours earlier, wandering aimlessly in the street below her apartment window. Realizing he was alone, Samira took him to the local police station, where, to her surprise, she was told to keep him. The boy was just one of the countless children left to fend for themselves on the streets of Egypt.

 In the aftermath of the 2007 AFC Asian Cup final, I could not help but to ponder over the significance of the event. Most reports that I had come across the following morning, focussed on praising the amalgamated force behind an eclectic team made up of Sunnis, Shias, Kurds and Turks, news stories accredited an Iraqi team, who in the face of adversity stood strong and gave a war torn nation, for the first time in a long while, reason to rejoice.
Indeed, the win gave commentators an unexpected match to report on and as positively infectious as the jubilations and morale boost were, I paused to ask myself, why, as much as the win had given me a slight spring in my step on the way to work the next morning, had this come to dominate international headlines?

 “Really, it is a museum in open air”!
With the above sentence, one of the historians started his speech after his visit to Tarim town (yemen). This town and its humble people, whose houses are wonderfully and skilfully built from mud not cement, is also hosting and welcomes happily and generously its visitors.
Tarim is one of Hadhrmut famous towns as well as Shibam and Siyon. The historians disagreed about the date of its establishment; some said:(In the fourth century-BC), but others said :(It is established during the Shiba rule of Hadhrmut).

 « Dominated by political considerations, propagandist in its nature, controlled by governments, directed by certain kind of interest an it was never free ». This is in brief the governmental media up to Waddah Khanfar ; Aljazeera Network managing director in an interview with me in 2004. Thus, what is meant by the term govermental media ? What are its drawbacks ? Does it have a real role in our daily life ?
Initially, the governmental media is that kind of journalism which reflects an attitude of a minority in a leadership of one nation or a country. It always represents one side of the story. Yet, this type of media is usually under the control of the ministry of information. However, in Morocco, it was, for decades, a subdivision of the interior ministry. This was , in fact, a complete irony that was covered by a full censorship.

 In a troubled country, what adjective can better describe women suffering from life hardships in a country where wars have been killing men since 30 years and more?
Women with impossible duties, and so they are. Those who survive the death of their fathers, brothers, husbands and sons. Those who have to be the mother and the father for their families, in all these war and occupation troubles and hardships.
Now they even have an additional task: Identifying corpses of their relatives. This is by itself very hard, since many people who go for that are later killed on their way back home, near or inside the morgue. And since men die, this left none for that except women. Here are some examples and experiences of women who passed through this.

 It is clear that the city, throughout history, shapes a very important element in which people can represent themselves in a safety manner. A careful look at the cultural legacy of the twentieth century city shows how it affects our ideas of community and even democracy. Actually, cities like Paris, Berlin, London and New York define the real meaning of a modern city. However, these places have inspired artists, writers, architects and film makers for centuries.
Yet will the city, in that sense, remain always that promised land for hopeless people ? Or will a modern city turn definitely to become a monster that absorbs everything even human being?
