Maybe it’s time for Lebanese people to visit #France and offer it some advice to help it work on its current state of #development? Just a thought.

@Daccache_M @yara_sayeg39135 Thank you Michel for your insights over the past couple of days; I wish we had more time with you than what was allocated. Still, every minute was precious.

Proud to join the Dutch Embassy in Lebanon’s #Youth_Advisory_Committee, collaborating with inspiring #youth from #Lebanon to bring hope to life. This is just the beginning of something big! ✨ #FirstStep

[Hans Peter vd Woude @hpvanderwoude]

Together with @jurriaanm, the Youth Ambassador of @DutchMFA, the 🇳🇱 Embassy in 🇱🇧, launched its #Youth_Advsory_Committee as a platform for young Lebanese to influence our decision-making processes. I asked the Members to speak boldly, to think creatively, and act with purpose.

What if the #Lebanese #Passport becomes an enabler for Lebanese people in general and Lebanese women in particular?

[Samira | سميرة (PhD) @SamiraChatila]

Since August 2020, the mushroom cloud's stark memory endures. Picture August 2043, as Lebanon nears its centenary, where a twist unfurls: a cedar-shaped bloom radiating strength and transformation. 🌏✨ @UNDP_Lebanon @YLPLebanon @hanyanann

What if the #Lebanese #Passport becomes among the most powerful in the world?

So now i drop my kids to school at 8 am but arrive to my work 42 km away at 7:30 am and then i leave work at 5 pm but i arrive home an hour later at 7 pm !!

To my non Lebanese friends please ignore the above comment, i have not gone mad, i just live in wonderland

This young Lebanese girl, #MaggieMahmoud, went to a Lebanese #public #school not to obtain her future but to die. The classroom ceiling fell on her and her classmates, injuring many and killing her. #Lebanon

Ok this is eerily accurate @AcademicChatter

وَصُحبَةُ أُستاذٍ وَطولُ زَمانِ

@loez23 Oh no!!!

While I was working out at the gym today, I asked my trainer about the proper way of inhaling & exhaling during exercises. He said to me, an academic, in Arabic: “These are just theories, meaning garbage. Just follow what I say.” WISE WORDS RIGHT THERE!! 😂 #AcademicChatter

SUPER EXCITED- The special issue @Syedfaridalatas & I edited for Idafat,
the Arab Journal of Sociology, is out! Our theme focused on Southern contributions to the sociology of knowledge with an emphasis on the intellectual works of the late social scientist #SyedHusseinAlatas.⬇️
