Today I'll write the gloomiest post of this Ramadan's series. Not about something that has happened to me. And, actually, probably doesn't have to do with Ramadan per si - any big national event would probably have the same consequences. But how can one read all this news about countries in the same region and don't feel moved? Particularly in a time where, in spite of the bad humour of people because of a strict fasting in ages when Narcisism is the law, believers are supposed to be more generous, more supportive.
Iran faces an earthquake tragedy. Not only the government response is slow... (as most of things get slow in Ramadan) but all those who are hurt need blood infusion. But how to give blood if you are fasting?
And Afghani people, who had their quota of sufferings in the past decades, now are targeted in the craziest of attacks. It seems it become fashionable to explode bombs in crowded markets, with people spending the little they have to celebrate the Eid (the day after Ramadan ends).
Isn't it to cry and tremble?
The news were published by Al Jazeera. You can read about Iran here and about Afghanistan here.
