Lebanese elections billboard wars – 2

On the road to any area in Lebanon you will notice dozens of billboards promoting the different parties or candidates running for the election. And on my way to Saida yesterday I saw the following ones.

haraket-amal

That’s Nabih Berri on the left. Barri is trying to be original and is NOT imitating Barack Obama’s photos. Anyway, Nabih Berri is promoting unity between the muslims and the christians. 3a aseis ino noss Haraket Amal hinneh masi7iyyeh πŸ˜€ I’ll take hat as Berri being funny.

kawass

I dunno who that guy is, but the slogan is strong. Minimum ykoun shababouna la youstahan bihi! They did great in May 7th last year, and just today they killed 4 army soldiers.

hariri

The Future Movement is reminding us once again that they have not forgot their loss. Nothing new here, they’ve been making their followers live in an ongoing funeral for 4 years now! Min wein baddon yinso??

tayyar

… aw Orange Orange!

lf

Ok I’m convinced, and the Lebanese Forces followers are all civilized, I’ll keep it in my mind!

amal-kids

Last but not least, Haraket Amal is presenting to us the upcoming generation who will soon be roaming the streets with their motorcycles hinneh w 2eibbina. The ones who are currently “3am y2ibbouwa” will eventually become “kaweidir haraket amal”.

    thanks!

    I have lately seen a big poster for Jad Sawaya (the “creator” of Dana, Maria and the alikes) near Karantina, apparently he’s running for the elections in Beirut, and he’s serious about it! Will try to take a photo of it soon.
