On January 25, the general strike was called off. More than $7.6 billion in grants and loans were pledged at the Paris 3 conference to help Lebanon. On January 26, roadblocks, snipers, shootings, sectarian attacks and violence killed 7 and wounded close to 400 people... reviving flashbacks of civil war memories. On February 13, bomb explosions in two minibuses killed 3 people and injured 20 in Ain Alaq, south of Bickfaya. On February 14, a mass rally is planned in downtown Beirut to mark the second anniversary of the assassination of Rafic Hariri

pretty Lebanese female who said that she is climbing up the walls as she
has nothing to do and that she has not gone out in 4 months. She
asked me what I was doing and I told her that I had prior commitments with
my little daughter.
My friend Nathalie recently
whispered in my ear that she fondly remembers the time when we all got
