Yousef aljoneidi - AlJazeeraTalk - Malaysia
 Abdullah Badawi the Malaysian Prime Minister and his deputy, Najib Razak, have agreed on the proper timing for a leadership change.
Abdullah has been under pressure to resign from his post after the governing Barisan Nasional's dismal election performance in the general elections in March. For Brisan Nasional, the last election carries its worst results in 40 years, losing its two-thirds majority in the federal parliament and control of several states. The election was widely seen as a referendum on the rule of Abdullah.
The pressure increased after former Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad announced his withdrawal from United Malays National Organization (UMNO). He further urged UMNO members including elected representatives to quit as one group to show no confidence in Abdullah’s leadership.

Bayan Itani - Aljazeera Talk - Beirut
 Not only did General Michelle Suleiman move out of his house at Fayyadiya to Ba’abda Palace on Monday, but also many of the Lebanese citizens moved out to fill the streets of Beirut and celebrate the country’s victory. On Monday the 26th of May two big festivals took place, the first in Southern suburb of Beirut where Hezballah celebrated the eighth memoir to the victory of the resistance in South Lebanon, and the second in Downtown Beirut.
The 11th of March coalition called for a ceremony in Downtown Beirut to celebrate the new treaty between Lebanese leaders of different parties and the elections of a president. The ceremony was scheduled at 7 P.M. in the presence of many Lebanese known artists. On the way to Downtown, there was a timid presence of people on the streets. Not surprisingly, it was the time when Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was talking in the other ceremony. Often, there were people sitting on circles on the paved sides of the streets listening to Nasrallah’s speech through their car radios.

Alaa Malhas - AlJazeeraTalk - Beirut
 Ever since I came to Beirut, Lebanon I used to love the nightlife. I used to hang out with my friends, go clubbing, etc… In general, Beirut was merely about its nightlife. Or at least it WAS about its nightlife until that specific date, the date that changed my view towards the ‘night’. May 7, 2008 was that date. ‘Oh my Gosh’ was the word that took over my mind.
It started as a normal day for Beirut, or actually come to think of it, there was a strike that was done by the labor union against the daily rising of the living cost without decent wages. So my friend called me so she can come over, since we’re both students at the Lebanese American University, studying Journalism, and living alone in Beirut.

Fida Qishta - AlJazeeraTalk - Gaza
 Israeli officials said Monday that they finished their military operation in the Gaza Strip, but the Israeli attacks continue, and we fear that Israel is still planning a major invasion. On Friday, Israel's Deputy Defense Minister Matan Vilnai warned of "a bigger holocaust" for Palestinians.
Between Wednesday and Sunday, the Israeli army killed around 110 Palestinians in Gaza, about half of them civilians, and nearly a quarter children, according to the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights in Gaza. Hundreds were injured. Palestinians killed two Israeli soldiers and one Israeli civilian.

Bayan Itani - Al-Jazeera Talk - Beirut
Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations… The sentence that many Lebanese and non-Lebanese citizens heard or stated much today. After the “magnificent” miracle that occurred in Qatar where the Lebanese puppets finally agreed, “congratulations” was the best word choice.
I went to the university as usual. My friends arrived to class congratulating me and the other students. In another class, the instructor who is American congratulated us. For the first time in my life I hear the word “congratulations” this much, much more than the time I heard it when I graduated from high school or when my sister got married.

Kuwait pledged to donate $100 million towards a fund, aimed at providing basic foods to poor people in Islamic countries. "Kuwait ... is offering an initiative to establish a fund for decent life in Islamic countries to provide basic foodstuff for those who are in need quickly," Kuwaits Amir said during the opening of the fourth WIEF. |

Nazek AbuRahma - AlJazeeraTalk - Gaza
Many days have passed since the stopping of education programs took place in the Palestinian universities. Finally, the Islamic University in Gaza and Alazaher University have gone back to continue their study program and have been trying to present more facilities for students to continue the education process. As a result, it
seems that the Palestinian students will enter another challenge under the siege imposed by the Israeli occupation.

Nour Abu-Aisha - Aljazeeratalk - Gaza
 As he Laughed, he cried. He shaded most of his tears behind the camera, he took photographs of the martyrs’ mothers and the martyrs of children, and he knew from the life five things "joy, sadness, success, reminiscence and love".
Fadl Shana'a (23 years), a Palestinian journalist and photographer in the international news agent (Reuters), was killed in middle of Gaza Strip (Johr Deek) when an Israel's missile targeted his car during the performance of his work.
"By Mistake"!!
The last view that Fadl's camera could take was, a tank of missiles, launched hundreds of meters away from his camera and went straight into in to the his chest after shatterring the protective jacket which failed to do its job. |
