Footage of the gunmen storming Tripoli’s Islamic Hospital

By on February 24, 2013 in What the fuck!

This country is seriously going beyond insane. A group of gunmen stormed into Tripoli’s Islamic Hospital last night and released a detainee called Mohamad Youssef, who was arrested for opening fire on minister Faisal Karami’s convoy a while ago, after beating up the police men who were guarding him.

Weirdly enough, the man was handed back to the security forces some hours later!

Protestors in Tripoli burned down KFC

By on September 14, 2012 in What the fuck!

This is insane… as a response to the movie insulting Prophet Mohamad (PBUH), protestors in Tripoli have burned down one of the KFC restaurants in the city! What kind of logic is that…?!

Lebanese specialties by L’Orient-Le Jour

By on September 5, 2012 in Lebanon

I just found L’Orient-Le Jour is making a video series around Lebanon to introduce people to the Lebanese specialties from Sfiha Baalbakiyyeh, to Kibbe Nayyeh, Moujaddara and much more.

The last video was published yesterday about Halewet El-Jeben, a specialty from Tripoli, and featuring Abdel Rahman Hallab’s grandson, Zaher Hallab.

You can check the other specialties on L’Orient-Le Jour’s YouTube Channel. They’re all in french of course…

Myriam Klink – Antar

By on June 11, 2012 in Lebanon

Just what we need! Now let’s try to convince her, Nancy Afiouni, and Lara Kay to hit the streets in Tripoli and other conflict areas of the north, and see how the raging men there will quickly ease their tension!

This lady is hilarious!

By on May 22, 2012 in Funny

You can shower me with your comments about the lady in niqab being free to celebrate and dance the way she pleases at the beginning of this video, but I’ll still find her funny!

Update:

It turned out the woman is actually mentally challenged. My cousin who lives in Tripoli confirmed it to me and claimed she’s from an area there called “Abou Samra”. You can also read Azmi’s input on the matter in the comments section.

What a shame! This scumbag deserves to be chased by a tank that runs over his body a thousand time!

Thank you @jeanassy

By on May 14, 2012 in Lebanon

Have you been keeping track of the protests being called for lately? Insane, it’s like the country is all “3ayif 7alo” these days!

Jal el-Dib residents resume protests over lack of traffic alternative

EDL workers hold protest in Beirut

Nurses warn of escalation if demands unmet

Lebanon public transport workers hold strike

Bakers still threatening strike unless prices cut

Protesting teachers scuffle with police at Grand Serail

And last but not least, the mother of all protests in Tripoli that has been turning the city into a mess since Saturday.
