These kinds of mornings are annoying. There’s no electricity and since using the phone is so ridiculously expensive, everyone has to gather around the battery-operated radio to find out if anything’s open. Standing on the balcony, we can see huge plumes of black smoke still coming from Choufeit, near the airport. It was like that all day yesterday. In fact, black smoke can be seen all over the city—from burning tires and cars.
It’s weird when you see the places you pass everyday, on fire. The opposition took their dump trucks and dumped huge piles of rocks and sand at the major round-abouts. It seems that every dumpster in the city was knocked over. The airport is closed. The strike was officially supposed to end at 3:00 yesterday afternoon, but it didn’t. So the people who flew in yesterday are still sitting inside the airport.
I have many pictures to add to this blog, but my connection is too slow and weak and won't upload any pictures.
