Very much enjoyed ‘A voix basse’ by Leila Bouzid @ the Berlinale.A tender coming out story amidst horrendous homophobia. Performance is compelling,story shows nuance if somewhat predictable. Hope it would be picked up by a platform so it reaches an Arab audience uncensored.

Thrilled that "Lebanon Anatomy of a Collapse" which I co-edited w @joelleabirached.bsky.social will be published by @hurstpublishers.bsky.social in 2026.The book traces the unravelling of Lebanon including riveting-if unsettling-chapters by inspiring contributors. hurstpublishers.com/book/lebanon-3

Musa al Sadr: Body seen in Libyan mortuary could solve 50-year mystery of vanished religious leader Compelling evidence to suggest Lebanese Shia leader Musa al-Sadr was killed in Libya is uncovered by BBC.

Fascinating!Article is right “belief [Vanished Imam M.] Al-Sadr is alive holds great power as a unifying creed for Lebanese Shia” so for political reasons eschewing truth.Article shouldve mentioned illegal arrest in Beirut of Gaddafi’s son Hannibal since 2015 موسى_الصدر# www.bbc.com/news/article...
