My Observations

i spent a week now in Benghazi, no major changes were happen in Libya in general and ib Benghazi in particualer, when u r outside and read libyan websites u feel that libya changed to be Dubai no 2, but in the fact it is in the same situation, whereever u go in Benghazi u will find many adevertisments about big projects espically that related to the infrastraction but u will not find any thing in real live just advertisments. it's exactlly meet the arabic idom اسمع جعحعه ولا طحينا
However i obsoverved two or three things i think they are new to me

1-Leebya(not our leebya) FM
now i can understand why people were angry when they stoped before three or four month ago i think mayson and Damoon mentioned that in that time. lebeeya FM is totally different from goverment radio. first time i heared i thought theey r MBC FM, they are more proffesional than goverment radio, even the programms they intrdoce have good quality.

2-the shortest way to the haven
u wont beleive just in one week more than 25 people died from car accedents, the driving situation is horrible in libya no roles no laws, i think if this numbers continou for a year libyan people will disappear, i found difficality in my first 2 days to restore my libyan driving system, alhmiduliiha i drive now savaly without seat belt , no need for side mirror just drive as fast as u can and u will arrive to the haven so fast.

3- Niqabi women
i hardly remeber any niqabi woman in benghazi before i went to uk, but now i think the number is growing. i'm not with oragainst , i believe it's personal choise, but i dont know the reasons that bring niqab to Benghazi women,the numbers is not to much but i believe i saw around ten or so in this week.

i hope in next 2 weeks less people go to the haven by cars. Rammadn Kareem

Salam Brave Heart,
Thank you for the update on your Libyan visit. I particularly love your sense of humor on the driving without a seatbelt or side mirror and as fast as possible to get to heaven quicker. When I returned to Dubai to the States I nearly fell to the ground and kissed it because the people drive so much more controlled here. However, I'm sure it takes quite a skill to temporarily unlearn your UK driving skills to that of now Libyan driving skills. :-)

salam
about driving waaaak its nightmare
you know the story of my short life driving
here it's terrible
Niqab here It started to be a normal thing I used to see alot of them ,,days ago I met a girl she's 15 years old and she's wearing Niqab ,
I don't wanna say that its normal but its some thing live within our community

fe aman Allah

LadyCroc said...

Strange, because the niqab is not a Libyan way of dressing. What is wrong with covering the face by using the teeth to grab the clothes LOL?!

I was hoping that you would write about your experiences there, thank you.
unfortunately Benghazi has always been ignored and over looked and on purpose as well.
please continuoe to update us and Ameen to your Duaa about the cars

Ramadan Mubarak

i think what you mentioned was spot on and i also felt the same in Tripoli but we have to remember that developtment does not happen in a second as a lot of planning aneeds to be done before

I pray that the big ideas are put into action some day in the near future

fe aman allah

Lebeeya said...

Well, Libya is progressing... but very very slowly. Atleast they have posters/advertisments up. I think they are trying to plant hope in people who have lost it.

The driving situation in Libya is very sad indeed. I wish Libyans would be more careful on the roads. Allah yahdi al jamee3.

Nice to see an update from you. Please keep them coming.

Benghazi Citizen said...

Ur observations are 100% correct.....I hardly leave Benghazi,and if i do,,only for few days every time,,,so i have a real opportunity to observe and analyse...
The only change u notice-as u said ur self-is the signs telling u about a big projects that will change the life style of libyans(So one of the signs promised) but no real step are being taken in this directioin..I meamn what is currently being done is repairing some pipes and roads-project that should be done with decades ago-and in a really slow pace,,,the work is extremely slow and scattered..
I spent a week in Dubai and i can't help noticing how it became a huge work shop where in every cornere there is some thing being built and constructed in a really fast pace that u belive there is a race or some thing....impressive..i wish the officials here will relize soon what we really need is WORK instead of vacant WORDs...right??
Thank u very much

Brave Heart said...

Benghazi Citizen

thanks bro, and welcome to my humble blog, u r right the pace is very slow, i used to work in construction company and i know what big projects mean and what they need, what happens in libya now is kind of political show.
