Samples of Nafisa Elsed's Writings Anthony Bourdain's Trip to Libya Samples of Nafisa Elsed’s writings (Pen name: Nafissa Assed) Anthony Bourdain's trip to Libya Monday, May 20, 2013 By Nafissa Assed "I’ve made a lot of hours of television over the years, but I think I’m proudest of Sunday’s Libya episode. I believe it is the best piece of work I’ve ever been part of." - Anthony Bourdain "When you stood in Gaddafi’s body, any dream can be true"! Akram said to Anthony Bourdain, showing a real positive and great attitude coming from a real free Libyan. Anthony Burdain is an American chef, author and television personality, who hosts a CNN show called Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown. The latest episode of Anthony’s show was about Libya's post revolutionary cuisine and life. Anthony's episode brought bittersweet tears over my face. He visited almost every place I love in Tripoli. His visit to “Barakoda” restaurant reminded me of the lovely lunch meeting I had with Michel Cousins and Sami Zaptia (Co-founders of Libya Herald newspaper), and the ambassador of Thailand. His delicious "Sfinz" breakfast in Fashloom took me to my nearby neighborhood “Ben Ashour”. His trip to Libya exposed the worst and the craziest sides as well as some the greatest and best sides of Libya and Libyans. He looked at the country through personal stories of simple Libyans. Libya, once home to the Greeks, Romans, Ottomans, and even the famous pirate Barbarossa, is today forming a new public space as a result of the exposure of Libyan youth to media and technology. Although he didn't give much focus on the Libyan cuisine and how Libyans are always proud of their heritage, food and traditions, he showed that Libya’s younger generations desire to adopt new behaviors, modern and more westernized way of life to feel their freedom when it comes to food. Libyans want to have a revolutionary fast food, something like “Uncle Kin tacky”, a disconcerted rip-off of Kentucky Fried Chicken! Despite the fact that fast food idea is facing an increasing resistance in the United States, due to the rampant obesity it causes in the American society, Libyans look at fast food as a great fruit of Western style democracy. American fast food chains were not permitted in Libya under Gaddafi’s four decades of dictatorship, but all that’s changed since his ouster in 2011. Before the Arab Spring hit Libya, this county was badly associated with a madman named Gaddafi and his coldblooded crimes nationally and internationally. In the past four decades, Gaddafi’s forging friendship with the world was a doormat on which he wiped off the blood of his inhuman crimes. Today, when you visit Libya, you will see that Gaddafi’s face doesn’t worth more than a doormat on which Libyans and tourists can come and clean their shoes on. Although Libyans are still far from attaining all that they are aiming for, the challenges to face, and the rowdy militias to tame, Anthony showed that there is still joy everywhere. He showed the heart of Libya: Lanterns flying all over Martyr Square, local band playing Zukra music on Mawlid day (The birthday of Prophet Mohamed), people smiling with hope and excitement regardless of the challenges ahead of Libya and Libyans. Each Libyan has his own vision of a prosperous Libya. However, even the simplest vision, like having fast food stops in Libya, may not come true if our hearts are not united for the love of Libya. When we devote ourselves to work, develop ourselves and fight together the enemies who are trying to drag Libya into the darkness, that’s when we will see the Libya we've always dreamed of and say Gaddafi really died. Chicago vigil honours Ambassador Chris Stevens By Nafissa Assed Chicago, 16 September The Chicago office of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR-Chicago), along with members of the Chicago Libyan community, Syrian American Council Chicago, MAS (Muslim American Society), Zakat Foundation, and AMP (American Muslims for Palestine), held a candlelight vigil on Friday to honour Ambassador Christopher Stevens. The vigil took place in Michigan Avenue, a major street in Chicago. The vigil was a condemnation of the vicious violence that left the ambassador as well as three Americans dead and others, including Libyan security staff, wounded. The vigil also supported all Muslims, Christians and Jews who peacefully denounced bigotry that taints the Prophet Muhammad. Many Libyans, Syrians, Americans and others of different nationalities gathered in a deep sense of sadness and anger, raising the American flag, lighting candles and carrying slogans expressing grief for the attack on the US mission in Benghazi and emphasizing the message that humanity, Libyans and Islam reject any assault against innocent people.Three Libyan activists — Sarah Burshan, Sanad Elfirjani and Amin Moftah Elfitori — as well as Ammar Sunbilli, a member of the Syrian American Council Chicago, Ahmed Rehab, a member of the Council of American-Islamic Relations, along with a former American marine, Vince Perritano, spoke from the top of a stone bench condemning the attack but stressing that Americans do not blame Libyans for the it and the murder of the American ambassador. On the contrary, they said, Americans need Libyan people to show the world that Islam is a religion of peace but they want the Libyan government to take serious action to bring those responsible for the attacks to justice. “The American people don’t need an apology from the people of Libya because this was an attack by a small savage group that doesn’t represent the people of Libya”, Perritano said. The event was concluded by a beautiful song for peace performance by a 10 year-old Syrian girl named Lana.

  • Page 1 of 7 Location the Nation of Libya Is Located in North Africa And
    Libya Location The nation of Libya is located in North Africa and covers approximately one million seven hundred fifty square kilometers, which is slightly larger than the United State’s Alaska. It is one of the largest countries in Africa. Libya lies in the geographic coordinates 25°N and 17°E. It is bordered in the north by the Mediterranean Sea and by Niger and Chad in the south. Libya’s western border connects to Algeria and Tunisia, and connects to Egypt and Sudan in the east. Geography The highest point in Libya is the Bikku Bitti, also known as Bette Peak, which stands at seven thousand four hundred and thirty eight feet at its highest point. It is located in the Tibesti Mountains in southern Libya near the Chadian border. The Sahara, an immense North African desert, covers most of Libya. Much of the country’s land consists of barren, rock-strewn plains and sand sea, with flat to underlying plains, plateaus, and depressions. Two small areas of hills ascend in the northwest and northeast, and the Tibesti mountains rise near the southern border. There are no permanent rivers or streams in Libya. The coastline is sunken near the center by the Gulf of Sidra, where barren desert reaches the Mediterranean Sea. Libya is divided into three natural regions. The first and largest, to the east of the Gulf of Sidra, is Cyrenaica, which occupies the plateau of Jabal al Akhdar. The majority of the area of Cyrenaica is covered with sand dunes, especially along the border with Egypt.

  • Everyday Geographies, Geographies Everyday: Mundane of Mobilities Made Tangible
    Creative | Alternative Everyday Geographies, Geographies Everyday: Mundane of Mobilities Made Tangible Laura Bisaillon University of Toronto Scarborough [email protected] Leah Montange University of Toronto [email protected] Alberto Zambenedetti University of Toronto [email protected] Paolo Frascà University of Toronto [email protected] Lina El-Shamy University of Toronto [email protected] Tamir Arviv Technion-Israel Institute of Technology [email protected] Published with Creative Commons licence: Attribution–Noncommercial–No Derivatives Everyday Geographies, Geographies Everyday 1026 Abstract In this photo essay, a group of six academics contributed to a cross-disciplinary conversation about immigration, mobility and circulation. We tasked ourselves with subverting crisis narratives attached to global migration by exploring the habitual, mundane, and everyday aspects of migration, as well bringing into focus the bodily, intimate and affective dimensions of mobility. Each co-author selected one or more photographs they had taken of an object or daily practice that illustrates the immediacy, tangibility, and materiality of global mobility, migration and circulation from their perspective as an academic or practitioner in their own discipline. We each also wrote mini-essays to contextualize and explicate these photographs. The result is part photo-essay and part collage. As the various pieces juxtapose with one another, themes of temporal stretching, melancholy, dis/orientation, and the rhythms and cycles of everyday life that are altered and interpenetrated by the mobilities and circulations of people and objects arose. This collective piece also registers the blurring boundaries between everyday life and research practice, individual and collective conversation, work and pleasure.
