Baghdad between darkness and brightness .. tunnels without light
1/20/15
Baghdad this beautiful city daughter ancient world history in which poets and capital and wrote about travelers and Orientalists. When passing through the alleys, see the fragrant glorious past. Over you sing a poet Ali bin Jahm to Rsafetha and Krkhha eyes Maha while undergoing She holds the secret of majestic beauty, and such towns will not die or fade glory and flag. The most beautiful description of it when he said the poet Nizar Qabbani:
D Bassatk and Fill Akwabe
Lance and I forgot the admonition Zebra
Your eyes, O Baghdad since my childhood
Suns are soft in Ahdaba
To be complemented by saying:
What I will write about you Veruzata
A breeze is not enough book
We mentioned in our books and whatever we say will remain a lot of excellence did not mention. She writes of her history ceaselessly and described without analogy does not like the city is the essence of the cities history.
I passed today in the free tour to see how life is going. Although the faces of the people all of mercy and kindness and humanity, but I saw the sadness in their hearts Memtemda admonishes the people of the earth were not so be reward for this city Mnankm culture, science and civilization.
And more pain when you see the most prestigious and oldest streets has resolved the neglect seems deliberate. Rasheed Street and Tunnel Rusafi which has become a place of muddy water and waste residue drunk.
Then tunnel Liberation Square, which was built in aesthetic Rounded rotation looks like the city of Baghdad is locked and careless and full of waste and the remnants of bottles of alcoholic and soft drinks. Thus spending Sadoun Street, which was the proverbial for its vitality, which was bustling with life and beauty of the fashion show halls and even the Fine Arts. But there is an enemy that lurks and it does not evolve and return Baghdad and spent nicer and better and better. And let's secretary of sarcastic comments and remarks by some but actually intentional neglect and programmer against Baghdad and its people and its history.
This reminded me of negligence dark tunnel which passes by the Iraqi Ministry of Culture, where there is no light in the first or at the end of the tunnel. Kmtaba and cultural activity Ask and read and I appeal to my friends that Aalmona for any cultural activity by these antique ministry but to no avail only some formal celebrations courtesy of so and so and so. According relations or proximity to the officials.
I say it not clear culture in Mutanabi Street died culture in Iraq in general and Baghdad private and also thanks to some halls and cultural gatherings own Khah dialogue and other cultural Albiotat Baghdadi .... but for how long this neglect and marginalization of the most important Althagafah..oha Ministry of Culture facilities which became her work space with distinction ..
And when we will see the light in the tunnel Baghdad, which was established in the eighties of the last century and which has become unfortunately stations for garbage and the remains of waste streams and hackers.
When Stnar corridors, halls, theaters, cinemas, the House of Wisdom, and return to the issuance of sober and meaningful cultural magazines, and get out of Baghdad and culture of the dark tunnels tops.
