Libya News 24 – Articles
The process of removing the rubble left by terrorist groups in the center of #Benghazi is an inevitable process that has been delayed for at least five years.
Our memories in the alleys of the center of the country have carried us through their pain for many years, ever since ISIS booby-trapped children’s dolls inside their rooms on Muhammad Musa Street.
My father left and never saw these alleys populated again.. They did not take Abdul Ghaffar in the morning, as he did with me for twenty years, and he and I did not return to the “Tensloch” restaurant, waiting for shawarma sandwiches on a stormy night in front of the port of Benghazi, as he embraced me and covered me with his black coat. cashmere.
My father no longer looks at pictures that were not taken in “Wael’s Photographers” and forced us to change our favorite places.
All our trips have become intermittent, long and boring, without flavor, since parking our cars in Omar Ibn Al-Aas Street was not allowed, because of ISIS missiles.
We have borne the pain of these memories ever since ISIS took a foothold in the Al-Jarid market, since we forgot the importance of Al-Sharif Street in the Libyan economic process.
The discussion today must be based on two things, not a third – from my personal, non-binding point of view – first, providing a fair and satisfactory compensation to the owners.. and the second is our right to plan the city center in a way that befits the sacrifices of the people of Benghazi.
I cried a lot in the center of Benghazi for several years.
She wept when some of those claiming to be one of her children conversed in the “Club House” with the one who destroyed it, even before the smell of blood and gunpowder evaporated and before the mines were defused from the children’s dolls.
We are waiting for sufficient clarifications to heal our passion and our anger about the engineering, structural and architectural perception of the center of the country – our memory, our past, our present and our future – which ISIS has trampled on with its shoes.
