Omar Almoktar

Mahnoush asked me to write on Omar Almokhtar as she likes and admires Omar Almoktar also. So, Iwould like to write these information on him. Amoktar is a symbol of Libya. He is a heroism, bravery and nationalism. He was born in 1850, in a small city called (Solouk), in the East of Libya. He struggled for a long time against the invader, Italy. Libya was occupied by fascist Italy beginning of 1911. Also, he kept to educate and teach younger the Holy Qurran despite the banning learning according to the invader policy. He did not accept that Libya's land remains under the foreigner's control. So, he announced and began his war to free the land when he was 60 years old. Moreover, he faced the hanging death penalty with steady brave after being captured. He had resisted the occupier for 20 years. He did not accept to sell the country with a lot of money or with an important job offered to him. He sold his own soul and family for the country to give approved example of the self-sacrifice for the independence of his country. by the way the movie has been done by Libyan government on Omar Almoktar as he a remarkable idividual. Name of the film is The Lion of Desert. The casts were Antony Queen for Almoktar role and Oliver Red for Grazziani (Italian Commander in Libya).

GUESS WHAT THE REASON WAS?

Last week end we (my family and I) decided to go for shopping. My wife and I have a keys copy for a block main door and the flat door. I did not why I was lazy to get my own key with me, and I said that "my wife keys will be fine". We enjoyed ourselves especially the kids. As we finished our tours, my wife asked me to stay longer for more shopping. I left my wife and Belgais (my daughter) together. Sofyan (my son) and I decided to back home. While we were in the bus I remembered that I have no my own key. The problem even goes worse as I left my cell-phone in my wife's hand bag. So I said I will consume bit of time at the mall near us until my wife arrive home. So, again more shopping, but, this time compulsory tours!!. Sofyan has chance for more fun and also, I bought some stuff. The worst thing as I finished the shopping and I want to pay the money at cashier for the stuff I bought; I could not find where my debit card is? Afterwhile, I realized my card was lost at the same day either. Do you know what the reasons for whole story were?

The problem issues happen because I have to back home early to do lot of HOMEWORKS, ASSIGNMENTS AND……been given by our respectful instructors FOR EAP.

How a nice tour!!!!

May be no any falls in the world has got fame and publicity like Niagara Falls at the border between Canada and America. I have never imagined that one day I will see Niagara Falls. Days after arrived Canada I visited the Niagara falls. What a sight! You just will finds yourself in front of a miracle.

My children, wife and I with my sister family enjoyed ourselves in tour boat at the Niagara Falls. The water was spraying all over. The stranger thing for me was that "Many brides and grooms were celebrating their wedding at the falls".

I asked the guide of our tours what the falls represent for Canada and Canadians? He answered that "Over of 12 million tourists are coming to the falls annually. Also, it has an economic advantage. The falls are natural source for an electricity generation. Nowadays, the hydrocarbons fuel are expansive and have a high degree of contaminations. So, the Niagara Falls provides such a clean and renewal source of energy. By the way, this electricity is enough to feed more than 160,000 houses.

At night, the Niagara city turns into a magic city. The lights everywhere and the people busy to buy souvenirs and goods, walking or sitting around dinner tables. We have fun and we spent a very good time in amazing day.

Why I like HOUN!!

I would like to write on a city I love, HOUN. It is a beautiful oasis in Libya desert. It locates in the center of Libya, south of Tripoli (the Capital) about 700km. The population of the city is 25,000 approximately.

It recognizes with a lot of palm trees, water springs and sand dunes. According to the history books the city founded in 1116. Due to extreme winds of sands, the people of the city transferred to the recent location in four stages. The last location where modern Houn is standing was the last stage in 1852.

The ancients of the old city locations are still preserved. Unfortunately, some of the previous are under the sands. The previous old city is recognized with an engineering style on the building, streets, arches and mosques. The old city was surrounding with long and high wall to protect the people and has had four big doors in each direction.

Houn, one of the best places in Libya for teaching and learning. It embosoms many Islamic scientists who made the culture foundation and bases especially for the Islamic education and Arabic language, as Alshankity, Alsoky, Alkhazmi and Alsharif Ahmed. Also, Houn has own scientists who graduate in Alazher university in Egypt and Alzytona university in Tunisia. They excel in many branches such as sciences, Islamic religion education, literatures, poets and artists as Hiddrah, Mazen, Haj Ahmed and Elkhair. That give such a reserve for develop the human resources until now.

Also, the city resounds with traditional made-hand products. Most of the products depend on the palm trees, palm leafs and fibers. In addition, the city is well known as Silver and Bronze well grave and made-hand products, needle point and stains products, wool cloths, leather bags and shoes, clay and lime products.

In last and not finally the long history of a resistance and struggle against the invader, Fascisti Italy, give honor medal and a great reflect of a proud feeling for the Houn people.

Houn now is a beautiful modern city with a new building, streets and manufacturing. All of that make the city such as a unique panorama with diversity in natural landscapes, ancient and modern scenes. I proud to be Hounian.
