This Syrian old man hid his private library in his home in the city of Damascus since the end of 2011 before escaping to Kuwait out of fear of the Assad regime, where the mere presence of a banned book could lead you to Assad's gulag and death under torture.
Today, the uncle returned to his library and completely removed the wall behind which he had hidden it, revealing valuable books that the Assad regime prohibited possessing and circulating.
When Abu Bilal built a secret wall in his home to protect his precious books from Syriaβs former Assad regime, he didnβt know if heβd see them again.
15 years later, with the help of a hammer, he was able to recover them.
Criminals should be eliminated.
Nobody should sympathize with them.
We tolerate these crooks too much in the name of "human rights."
Deal with them.

Indeed, KRA have gone mad, and they are not even hiding it. Look at this.
You buy goods in Guangzhou. Hoods. Plates. Small stock. You pay about KSh 700,000. The container lands in Mombasa, and they tax you like that container is worth KSh 3.2 million.
Not because that is what you paid. Because, since 20 August, that is their new floor.
KSh 2.5 million became KSh 3.2 million overnight.
Follow the maths.
KSh 3.2 million Γ 25% duty is already KSh 800,000.
Then other taxes & levies climbs on that same . IDF. railway levy etc.
Next thing you realise, they want KSh 2.2 million in tax on goods that cost KSh 700,000.
Some people are staring at a KSh 5 million bill once port charges and storage join the raid.
As we speakk the CBM rate is KSh 72,000β80,000 from China to Kenya in some companies
If you oppose they say; you deconsolidate. Tax item by item.
In real life if you choose that route , that cargo can sit for a year at the port as costs pile on you & maybe you even took a loan.
So you either pay the fake value today, or bleed slowly at the port. And this is why you are seeing business persons protest.
The Ruto govt is aggressively harming businesses and its sad.
First impression is the last impression.
Landed at JKIA from Heathrow and, for a country with serious tourism ambitions, the arrival experience needs a complete rethink. Long immigration queues are bad enough, then KRA officers go through personal luggage so thoroughly youβd think your suitcase was an undeclared container underwear included. Having travelled to 70+ countries, Iβve rarely seen ordinary personal luggage treated this way. Bro we spend millions selling Magical Kenya to the world, yet the real Kenyan experience begins the moment a visitor lands. Security and revenue collection are necessary. But efficiency, dignity and hospitality matter too.A world-class destination deserves a world-class front door. π°πͺ
Almighty. Protect our children. Grant them a heart of faith, keep them healthy & heal all those who are ill. Bless them with good, righteous friends & those who will remind them of You. Grant them a strong sense of right & wrong & keep them safe. Aameen
