 لا للديكتاتورية LA (DictatorShip) Music Video.

Four Sudanese artists from different tribes, backgrounds and geographic locations came together, united as one, as one mic and as one voice. This message is for the people, by the people.

LA Lyrics

.لقد حان الاوان الي خلع النظام

لا للديكتاتورية لا للحكومه سياديه…..
لا للسلطه الابديه نحن نريد الحريه…..
لا للديكتاتورية لا للحكومه سياديه…..
لا للسلطه الابديه نحن نريد الحريه…..
يلأ حان الاوان هاذه وقت الشباب …
هذا وقت الرجال هذا الاسود الذي تمسد حبال…..
نحن كوحده قوه تبقي تحرك جبال …..
الي متي نخان الي مني من حكمأ دكتاتوريأ نهان ….
في هذا الارض سنه كما تدين تدان….
في هذا الارض حكمه كما تعين تعان….
فقد حان الاوان الي خرق النظام ….
فمن عاش جبان فقد راب الظلأم….
الي متي نكون فقط قوم الكلأم…
الي متي نساق وفي الفن اللجام…..
وبلفن نهان….وبلهم نعان ….
لقد سالت عيون دمعأ من سيد دمام….
لقد عشنا قرون علي حلم السلأم….
علي حلم الامان ..علي قهر النظام….
فقد حان الاوان ….(لكي نقوووووول)….

لا للديكتاتورية لا للحكومه سياديه…..
لا للسلطه الابديه نحن نريد الحريه…..
…………………..بقوله بكل كبيراء………………..
كلمه طالعه من ضميري صاعده للسماء….
الحاله وصلت حدا والشعوب قالت كفايه ….
حكامنه اتقرصنو والقرصنه بقت هوايه …..
لو كان ضميرك صاحي ماكان خبتا في البدايه…
شوف المرايه عاين حتلقي نفسك ما معايه …
انا الشعب الرفض خوفو وطلع يقاوم….
لو كنتا فاهم الكرسي مسخره ماشفنا مره دائم…
مسرح عريس والخيوط في يد ابت تسالم…
حبر ع الورق وين الضمير السيدو نايم …
ضباب كتير والمصير مجهول في الظلمه عايم….
بلد مقسمه عصابه منهي الجرائم….
ديمقراطيه بلأسم والقمع لسه فايم …
ما بلسلأح حارد عليك ياالسموك حاكم…
بجمله واحده حارد عليك من غير شتايم …
……ميزنا ربنا بعقل عن البهايم …..


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes For love and equality.. Say NO to cruilty

BOOM

Until when we be living like a “جبنة”
جوة حلته لايك سجنه
we never speak the truth Cuz لسانه
لسانه هو مربوط مافي امانه
امانه هي مدسوسه في كورنه
والكورنه موجودة في قلبنا
قلبنا من القرف قال كفايه
كفايه من الظلم دي الحكايه

BOOM
اذا انتا قرفان ارفع يدك فوق عارفك زهجان
and you wana talk freedom freedom and
YOu wana Chant .. من من من Darkness you wana walk
Until when we be living in ضلمه
22 years ما داير يتلمة
( لا لا لا لا لمن قرفته)
لا للديكتاتورية لا للحكومه سياديه…..
لا للسلطه الابديه نحن نريد الحريه…..
——————————————————————————————————
الشعب جاكم بلرساله يحاكم احكم بعداله …
قناصه شبيحه جات منك شينه وقبيحه …
دي عصابتك حالفين نطيحها احسن ترحل…
من غير فضيحه ……
في ابو روف ناس قالو لألألألأ….
راس لانوف ديل قالو لألألألأ….
كسرو الخوف ديل قالو لألألألأ….
من غير ملاتوف ديل قالو لألألألأ….
سلميه سليمه والناس في السجون مرميه …..
عشان بلدي تعيش محميه ….
…….ماسك المايك بدل البندقيه …….
لا للديكتاتورية لا للحكومه سياديه…..
لا للسلطه الابديه نحن نريد الحريه….

Art and the Arab Awakening

By Nama Khalil, August 2, 2012

In the days following Mohamed Bouazizi’s self-immolation in the Tunisian town of Sidi Bouzid, burned and battered cars piled up inside state-owned lots throughout the country. Tunisians were expressing their anger and pain by setting fire to cars. This destruction did not last long. The image of ashes and despair soon turned into a positive, rejuvenating project.

Faten Rouissi—a Tunisian artist, activist, and resident of a suburb north of the Tunisian capital of Tunis—took notice of all the burned cars crammed into a vacant lot near her home. Rouissi successfully reached out to artists, performers, students, and youth to help transform the burned cars into “blooming objects in bright colors, adorned with revolutionary graffiti.” Her Street Art in the Neighborhood project established a contemporary public space to promote art as a creative collective….continue reading

A tribute to Mohamed Bouazizi, the protestor, by Effer  Lecébé
At  Sidi Bouzid, agricultural capital in the heart of Tunisia, a seller of  fruits and vegetables, Mohamed Bouazizi, 26, was slain by fire on  December 17 before dying on January 4. His gesture of despair caused a  wave of protests and demonstrations against unemployment and the high  cost of living unprecedented twenty years throughout the country.
Since  mid-December, several other cases of suicides were reported. Saturday,  the city of Metlaoui in the mining region of Gafsa, burying a young man  who had also set himself on fire.
The artist peacekeeper  Effer  Lecébé decided to honor this man who has become worldwide and  particularly in the Maghreb, the symbol of freedom and human rights.
Is  exposed since January 22, 2011, an installation designed by Effer  Lecébé, consisting of a stall and a pile of ashes. Fruits and vegetables  are offered to visitors. Every day the same, the load is renewed at  19.15 time of the death of Mohamed Bouazizi.  efferlecebe.canalblog.com/

Dans certains quartiers de Beyrouth, les murs ont la parole. Et ils ont des choses à dire. Humour, politique, actualité… les graffitis, tags et pochoirs étalés sur la pierre ou le béton reflètent l’état d’esprit d’une époque.
Tour d’horizon en images.
