Flash Floods in Oman

 


It was a few days ago.Flash rains in Oman are not a new thing.  When mountains and wet weather come together, sudden floods often happen.



Crocodile on the Saudi streets

 


 This took place a few days ago. The big crocodile got out of the zoo. It was out and about in the streets!  It's a good thing that everyone was driving and not walking. Just  having irony    

But really, taking care of an animal is a huge duty.

The tragic story of Abd Alrahman - the owner of the best Pizza Restaurant in Gaza

 


 Abd Alrahman, an engineer, developed a passion for the culinary industry. He was also from Gaza.     The story is as short as his life.  He became the most popular pizza place owner. He has been killed during the Israeli bombardment in Gaza.   Which is still on .


There are thousands of lives like his...

What are the wars fought for?

Wars for nothing ! Senseless and unnecessary. There is no benefit for humans.

The extraordinary life of Mamo Grum - the Gyros King of Budapest


" Thousands bid farewell to Mamo Grum at Farkasrét cemetery,Budapest remembering his vibrant spirit and unwavering dedication to Hungarian hospitality."




  Just came across this unusual article in Blikk about the extraordinary life of Mamo Grum!  It is quite uncommon to come across articles or discussions that highlight the valuable contributions made by migrants to Hungarian society. There is a palpable sense of unease and silence surrounding this topic. 



Is this the beginning of a new era?  Will they change that narrative? They sparked my curiosity.


During my investigation, I discovered that this remarkable man, who was previously an officer in the Ethiopian army, actually arrived in Hungary in 1984. Can you imagine the incredible adventures he must have experienced by that time ?


He had a challenging time adjusting to the European weather, the Hungarian language, and the different culture for a period of 2-3 years.


However, he gradually began to feel more at ease with his new life in Budapest.


 He attended Medical University and, after graduating, worked as a dentist for six years.



   In 1996, his interest shifted to the catering business.

 

  He made the decision to introduce the lively and diverse flavors of Africa to the city of Budapest.He opened the first Ethiopian restaurant in town and named it Lalibela.



 Though  he had positive   reviews on his  restaurant  .

He must  haved  realized  that  that the demand for it in Budapest isn't as huge as he thought!   So he totally tried to ride the wave of the latest trends  and  also  serving  traditional  favorites  to  those living in Budapest .


He has been serving affordable and tasty Hungarian dishes, such as stuffed cabbage rolls, at festivals.  He was present at the Hungaroring.  Later, he supplied meat to all the famous Turkish, Arab, and Greek restaurants downtown.

That is why many people in the catering business simply referred to him as "The Gyros King." 


  Rest in peace...

The HAARP experiment in Alaska and the lights in Europe sky

In the midst of the attention focused on the distressing events unfolding in Gaza, the University of Alaska quietly released a statement.

 It was  an  official   annoucement about  a HAARP  experiment  in Alaska  which  might  result in  northern light  effects last weekend .


"During a four-day research campaign commencing on Saturday, the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) will generate an artificial airglow in the sky, which can potentially be observed by both Alaskans and visitors.


The focus of the experiments will be on the ionosphere, which is the atmospheric region located between approximately 30 and 350 miles above the Earth's surface. "

 Read more 






There were purple-pink light flares in the sky over Hungary, and maybe also in other places.

Our Hungarian scientists soon determined, though, that it was unrelated to the research in Alaska. Why are they deciding it so quickly? A scientist ought to wait for results before placing significant emphasis on them, right? Many of my intelligent friends would like to think that scientists are always telling the truth. To be honest, I find it a comfortable position .

Some Hungarian families and other foreigners managed to leave Gaza

 


  Two families from Hungary and their Palestinian relatives were able to get permission to leave Gaza, even though they were in a dangerous place with chaotic scenes and the scary sounds of air raids and shrapnel. On Wednesday, it was found that the people in question were on the list of people who were allowed to go away . When they got to Egypt, cars from the Hungarian embassy were waiting for them there after their dangerous trip.On the other hand seven other people of Hungary have decided not to go on the trip to the Rafah crossing right now.

There were air raids ,difficulty to find transportation .It is one hour ride from Gaza city to Raffah crossing . There is no fuel .

For the first time since October 7, the border crossing in the Gaza Strip was opened to refugees. The agreement was negotiated by Qatar, with help from the US.

The transition to a the border was not smooth, with daily lists of allowed crossings revealing the names of 76 wounded Palestinians and 335 foreign nationals, with Palestinians transported to hospitals in Egyptian ambulances.


The Guardian 's video shows the moments of the crossing:

Wars for Nothing Song by Boggie

 


Lyrics
Do you know our Earth is a mess?All the wars for nothing, it never endsEverybody deserves a chanceAll the souls, all the soulsCan you hear them cry?
That you live in peace does not meanIt's okay to ignore all the painI see children joining the starsSoldiers walk towards the darkLet me ask
Can you justify all the eyesThat will never see daylight?Give me one good reason to hurtA helpless soul, break a heartKill a mind
Do you know how many innocentsAre hiding from punishmentFor crimes they'd never commit?All alone, all aloneDo they deserve
To die for believing something else?For having a face someone can't standDo you know our Earth is a mess?All the wars for nothingIt never ends
All the souls, all aloneHold them tightAll the souls deserve a chanceAt life
