Malainine Chbihna – Aljazeera Talk – Agadir
 « 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.

Fathi Ibrahim Bayyoud – Al-Jazeera Talk – Damascus
About those who depend on “Garbage” for a Living; For a life that is full of torture; for satisfying their hunger with bites soaked in pain.
Restless, although very tired. They never give up. In their ragged clothes, and smelling with sweat and trash smell, there hope always remain that within these garbage piles they will find some living.
And that is indeed how they do “secure” their living ... Most of the times…
They are “Garbage Collectors”. A job that quite recently many people turned to in many Arab countries including Syria, because of unemployment, poverty and hunger.And here is a story of Some.
In Homos (a city in Syria), They wake up at dawn, and gather at the city’ smain Garbage Collection Area in “Deer Ba’ala”. There daily job starts as soon as Garbage trucks begin arriving to dump the garbage they collected from the city. |

Maymouna Al-Basil – Al-Jazeera Talk – Al-Mosil
 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.

Malainine Chbihna - Aljazeera Talk – Casa Blanca
 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?

The Blair years: A blessing or a curse?
Arwa Walid - AljazeeraTalk - Leeds
 Waving proudly to the public with a big grin on his face, the former British Prime Minister Tony Blair left no. 10 Downing Street to be occupied by his predetermined successor Gordon Brown. A decade has elapsed since the labour party had won the elections to become at the heart of British Politics. The big question comes to mind: Were the Blair years a blessing or a curse?
The economic question
From the year 1997 to 2007 Britons have enjoyed the benefits of a flourishing economy. According to all indicators, the British economy has done very well. Thanks to Gordon Brown, the former Chancellor of the Exchequer and current Prime Minister, unemployment and inflation had remained at historically low levels which is an achievement much envied by Nicholas Sarkozy. Average income growth has been 2.4 per cent swelling the pockets of the richest 10% at the expense of those at the bottom.

 This is a hint to understand a Tijania order that sweeps largely in Africa and world wide. Above all the psychic alteration and the mental process that a follower goes through. The example which is provided here is simply an american citizen called Zachary Wright who converted to Islam in 1997 under the hands of Shiekh Hassan Ali Sissi ; one of the greatest spiritual leader of Tijaniya Order in Senegal. Then, as he told me, all the memebrs of his family join him later as believers in Islam. He is a Ph.D. student at the departement of history in Northwestern university in Chicago.

Masooma Nasar - AlJazeeraTalk
 The greatest challenge at the moment and one which will possibly continue, is the problem of education. Allowing for time, the world will become smaller through the continuing advancement of technological pursuits and mass communication. The preservation of oneself, family, community and society will become more difficult. We need to educate the young so that the community is better prepared to deal with the universality of opposing ideals. We need to ensure that the youth of our coming generation are not educated by the uneducated, so they can consciously choose Islam over modernity. We need to strike the right balance between preserving identity and spiritual values, and becoming effective integral members of society. |

 was ecstatic this morning when I heard the news that Alan Johnston was finally released. For four long months, he was held by a group calling themselves "The Army of Islam", actually a violent family called the Dogmush. During his ordeal he was once rumored to have been killed and later shown in video recording wearing an explosive belt.
When Hamas took control of Gaza they made it clear that the release of Alan Johnston is at the top of their agenda, and they've delivered. You can find a detailed account on how Hamas did it on BBC: |
