Feiruz is stuck at the airport!

Fairooz Shutting Down Alwefaq Will Not Marginalise It

On Fairuz, Yazan said Fairuz is a national symbol of unity she might be the only person the Lebanese agree that they love. She is a positive cultural figure.

Fairooz thinks that it s actually the authorities who would lose more if Alwefaq was banned.

Fairooz agrees that underground movements will arise and that there is a possibility for radicalization.

Fairooz also believes that the current situation is not sustainable, he believes this will push the regime to compromise.

Pizza is my favorite and its country Italy is my World Cup team that I support.

Jordanian Roba Al Assi attended a concert by legendary Lebanese singer Fairuz and here's her preview of the event.

One of those who actually had their citizenship revoked is the former MP of Alwefaq Bloc Jawad Fairooz.

He held many posts in government both before and after independence and was an important figure in the Pakistan movement.

We spoke to Matar Matar in Washington D.C. and Jawad Fairouz in London, and their impressions and predictions of the future were anything but in sync.

Building his point of view on the recent progresses, Fairooz noted that the momentum of the protests increased after the arrest of Ali Salman.

She was also one of my first portraits, I used her mural to cover some political posters that were still hanging from a number of years back.

Egyptian blogger Zeinobia expresses her annoyance with the way legendary Lebanese singer Fairouz is being attacked after singing in Syria.

On the other hand, Fairooz argues that shutting down Alwefaq will not marginalise Alwefaq because he thinks that the political movement that Alwefaq represents is bigger than the official organisation.
