He said: "I don't know, I'm really confused about this. I love Beirut. Its touristic sites, its summer. I love the city. I love the people. I don't know. I'm really worried. What do you think?"
Allow me here to say to him and to you, dear reader, that I think it signifies the dangerous tragedy of what is happening. The increased repression and discourses unleashed by the media and authorities is to create division. It is a classic divide-and-conquer tactic, which we have witnessed endlessly.
