Bridge over troubled water...

The whole world is watching the birth of new society spirit in the Middle East-North Africa region. The spirit is flying high at the speed of light; however we must prepare its foundation and secure its landing to make sure it doesn’t break its neck.

I have been recently to some major towns in Libya: Benghazi, Shahad, Albayda and Derna. I went there to facilitate a series of workshops and give some speeches for the local non-governmental organisations. What pleased me the most was the participation of women (40-45%) and youth (20-25%). There was even one organisation for people with special needs.

I saw the potential of the Libyan society within the hundreds of people that attended the workshops and the speeches. I believe the society spirit can fly high. People have asked me how. My answer is quite simple, really: we must start building the civil society in Libya and create bonds between organisations, citizens and state. This will help create a better future for the society as a whole.

We are creating a bridge for society to cross to safety. Join us!
