We have been watching the late Bushra Abdel Samad, briskly strolling throughout the slender sidewalk from the route of the Kola roundabout or the central constructing of the Progressive Socialist Social gathering to his vacation spot at Al-Zadeed TV’s newsroom, then hurried again. His papers, pen, pockets and newspaper. He would shortly come and go together with a photographer and driver in his work automobile to the farm’s corniche or the town streets and its environs, in search of a discipline investigation or a tv message, and earlier than {that a} radio message, to hold him. Work with dynamism and vitality.

I have never seen Bushra since that day on Al Jazeera, however each time information of her dying broke and her image appeared on social media, I felt like I used to be nonetheless within the shadows. Jabal Al Arab Road and its days, its pleasure, its vitality, its exercise, its infantile face and its laughter and its cigarettes and its radio and tv messages. He was a pleasant and sort individual, near folks and revered his career. Maybe what compels me to jot down about his dying now will not be solely his early and sudden dying, but in addition the reminiscence of the deaths of a bunch of colleagues whose deaths we obtain by Fb. We have now crossed a distance in time and house, however the results of destruction, just like the style of arrows, are extra severe than homicide.

They have been buddies and colleagues within the early days of radio. I didn’t write then, journalism was not my career, quite I learn newspapers and waited for the newspaper vendor Rammal within the morning.

I’ve not seen Bushra since that day, and along with his dying, the beloved faces of those that have handed this place or those that have handed that place collectively. Lots of our early buddies, colleagues and buddies have died instantly, as if we had grown previous with out realizing it, or within the phrases of the poet Abbas Bedoun “dying is taking our measure”, and all now we have to do is keep in mind, for we’re by no means “blessed to overlook”. I am unable to be good. Greater than 1 / 4 of a century has handed, once I walked from house to the radio station, and on the way in which in, Zuhair checked out me and mentioned: “Kumayl is lifeless”.

I did not say a phrase, I did not perceive what occurred, I did not perceive the loss and the bitterness. I averted attending his funeral in order to not expertise dying, its odor and its marble really feel. Camille introduced us collectively from the primary I used to be coming from the outskirts of Beca and when it was occupied. I’ve by no means forgotten the face of prisoner Kamil Daher, his love for poetry, listening to Mahmoud Darwish out loud as he wrote. Camille, hit by a automobile within the canal, was the start of her departure.

Camille is lifeless. We nonetheless gathered in entrance of the radio constructing, earlier than we scattered in numerous instructions. After a breakup, Fb begins informing us of the dying of yesterday’s companion or colleagues from the very starting. Ibrahim al-Habar, Gillard Bergson, Radwan Hamza, Melhem Abu Rizq and Rula al-Ayoubi, the gentlewoman who traveled to a number of media retailers and moved to Britain, died.
The numerous faces from Nawaf Al-Mulla, Hasan Ismail and others in addition to the departure of buddies depart a burden on us… many faces that we miss, maybe as a result of the times are severe.
Bush is gone. We can’t say something, since we can’t lament and maybe we really feel our veins to see if they’re nonetheless pulsing at midnight and burning land.
