I began browsing archival photos taken fifty years ago dating to flee the Americans and their agents from the city of Sigon (Ho Chi Minh City) today, and the Velette Kong revolutionaries and the North Vietnamese forces applied. I dictated in each of the pictures and brought me five decades. At that time, I dreamed of my next wedding after two months and my bride in which she lived in all my genes, and still. I was brought up for every picture of joy, as if I were one of those who were occupied by the occupation in Sigon, as I was urgent, urgent days until the day of my wedding.
Why do I find me celebrating the Vietnamese with their glorious victory fifty years ago? I am an elderly sheikh who strangled the seventy -sixth and my age of the age of the Nakba, I am in a hurry of days as well as for me, if he was in life the rest, he reached a day when he took pictures in Jerusalem, Haifa, or Lod, in which the occupation and its aides flee, or write to me the testimony? Or because I am running away from my stained day forward without being brought up, to the two dreams of dreams that inhabited me before and after consciousness, and still refuses to leave?
The doors of the profession of journalism in Kuwait came after Vietnam’s victory in a year and a year, and the war had placed its weights, and the Vietnamis were giving their wounds and disciplining from it with the euphoria of the victor, and if their great leader was “he was from him” he left six and a half years ago on December 2, 1969. I was on the day of Vietnam’s victory, I say if he was from him who defeated France and America was alive! As for his genius general, Fu Ngwin Jayab, Vici twice, when he defeated the French in the battle of Diane Bayan Fu in 1954, to remain the Vietnamese north free, and when the Americans were defeated after 21 years.
Farahi with Vietnam’s victory, Farah, with the victory of the oppressed against the oppressor and the human being over Satan. Farahi with Vietnam’s victory, Farah, with the victory of the truth over falsehood, and the victory of those who love the country over those who fail, betray and sell themselves. I do not link me to Vietnam except the humanitarian gossip, and it is sufficient for him a cause for joy for every Arab who is waiting for Farah Nasr, a long -awaited Nasr.
But why did the Vietnamese win? And why did the Arabs not achieve a victory since the Algerian revolution triumphed over France after 130 years of colonialism that lasted and hated? This is the question that we should answer with courage and mind, whatever the consequences and fears of reactions.
The Vietnamese fought the fighting of a nation that knows its identity and believed in it, so they won. Someone may say that the Soviet Union and China were supported by weapons and intelligence, and this is true. But those who fought the battles in the jungle, forests, tunnels and mountains are the Vietnamese themselves, they are the ones who fell three million citizens, and they did not weaken and did not depend. It is also true that it was among them in the south who recruited themselves to serve the occupation in security coordination, fighting and exhausted, but the leader of their struggle was not seduced by the red carpet, and the hotels did not affect the trenches, and the American occupation lights in Saigon did not seduce him, and he did not accept that the homeland and the Vietnamese nation in the Munif Palace under the eyes of the occupation, and guarding those who pay money.
He passed away from him six and a half years before victory and his images were absent from the facades, but his original legacy remained in the hearts and minds, because he did not deviate from his struggle method, and he did not accept without the unified Vietnam in the north and south, and he was not satisfied with a fraction of it that was established on it under the hearing of the occupation and his sight is a authority he calls its “owners” a state. He passed away from him, and the Vietnamese Communist Party did not recover on his heels and his belief in the homeland is free, and the nation is fixed on its identity.
The Vietnamese was patient with the horrors of war, giant bombers, napalm bombs, and toxic burning oranges, and their enemy affected the losses rising every day, so they forced Washington politicians to acknowledge that their defeat is more difficult and difficult, if they are no longer impossible, so the Americans went out hundreds of thousands to the streets to say enough!
The Army of the North and the Vietcorge revolutionaries rushed to Saigon, and the remaining remaining of the Americans fled, and many others who were recruited with the occupation, coordinated with him, and their nation and their nation.
The Vietnamese triumphed and their victory was a victory for their civilized civilized surroundings that did not let them down, and he presented them in Laos and Cambodia thousands of lives so that their supply lines remain open, and here they are their rise today to rise to all. Let us imagine how the situation would have been if he had been from him before a fraction in the north, and the south remained an American reserve from its nation and its environment in geography, culture and civilized affiliation.
After the victory, and the start of the independent unified homeland stage, Vietnam did not slip into the dilemma of the “revolutionary perpetuation”, even though the Communist Party that led the revolution is still the one who leads the state, and it is touching with new eyes its way to the future. Today, Vietnam is a country that is upset at a steady pace, and one almost sees the phrase “Made in Vietnam” competing in some industries the phrase “made in China”.
Here I am watching the pictures of Vietnam’s victory and rejoiced again, but it is a joy that disturbs sadness and mixes with anger.
I turns the page, so I can find from the pictures what makes me happy from our modern Arab history. Pictures from the last stages of the Algerian liberation war that spanned 1954, which is the year of Vietnam’s victory over France, until 1962, when France withdrew on July 5 from Algeria, lovingly loose.
The Algerians fought as they sought the words of Ibn Badis the Great, “The people of Algeria are a Muslim and for Arabism to belong.” The Algerians presented one and a half million martyrs and extracted their homeland and their freedom from the brutal grip of France. Their struggle stems from their belief in their country’s belonging to the nation of Islam and the universal Arabism. They rejected all reconciliation offers that detract from the desired goal: complete independence. And then all the Arab peoples were east and west with them, and their neighbors in the Maghreb with them opened their revolutionaries and did not skimp on material and political support in all forums.
The Arab peoples triumph when they fight while realizing that each of them belongs to the nation, that his battle is a battle for the whole nation, and that his victory is a victory for the whole nation. I was happy as I was standing in the school queue, and we sought “and we are determined to live Algeria.”
I hope to find today the phrase “made in Algeria” spreads in the markets, as the phrase “made in Vietnam” is spread.
Turn the page, I may find another picture that rejoices me!
The Fatah movement launched the first bullet on January 1, 1964, three years after the beginning of the American intervention in southern Vietnam, which became an independent entity after the division of Vietnam after the defeat of France, with elections to determine the future of the country.
We were happy and sought for the nascent revolution, and although all of Palestine had become occupied in June 1967, hope remained in a coming victory. An organized leadership of the Palestinian liberation and came to succeed the founding leader (if I can express) a new leadership that leads the organization and leads its armed wing the Fatah movement.
Although the slogan was a revolution until victory, and the first literature was talking about liberation from the sea to the river, it was only three years after the defeat of June Arab reserve, until the misdemeanor of darkness started the first contacts with Israel as a prelude to a settlement, and the late Issam Al -Sartawi was the god of the declared for those communications, and others whose names remained secrecy, and some of them are still alive. This was the beginning of successive concessions that took place in the Palestinian issue to the options of the Oslo agreement, changing the PLO charter and accepting a fraction of the country.
It is true that he was from him who was accepting the idea of negotiating with the French and then with the Americans, but he did not throw weapons despite all the pain, and he never accepted a fraction of the homeland, and it was certain that the elections agreed upon at the Geneva conference in 1954 after the defeat of France would be due to the unified country. He was not a secret, and he did not hide anything from the people he called “Uncle Hu”. This is the difference!
In order to complete the episode, it was necessary to strip the Palestinian issue after the Arab nationalist and its and its Islamic, and this was an Israeli demand that it prefers and wanted most of the Arab countries. This would not have been harmful if the literature and slogans of the revolution were not blown up in contacts and negotiations behind the doors described.
As we said, he was not a secret, and he did not try to isolate his case from its regional and civilizational surroundings, as well as the Algerian revolutionaries. This is another difference!
Rabat’s decision was what the Arab official system wishes to publicly disavow any practical commitment to Palestine, and a saying that we accept what the Palestinians accept, even if it was a jump in the dark, will not be limited to occupied Palestine, but will extend to all Arab countries!
The decisions of the Arab evacuation rolled up in a hurry, began with Camp David, until some Arabs today became allies of Israel, and some of them are Yemeni, if Israel accepts it as it knocks on its doors, perhaps it will get rid of it from poverty, or an American boycott, or to help him a civil war, or to protect him from a neighbor who lurks the circles, as it is ill.
Vietnam’s allies in the region, in culture, and the ideological and civilizational perspective, did not disavow their responsibilities towards it, despite the water they suffered. This is another difference between the vicinity of Vietnam and the vicinity of Palestine.
For my life, the people of Laos, Cambodia, China, or the Soviet Union were not to accept the people of Vietnam or to die of starvation and thirst, and they would not be hungry for fear of America’s anger.
Gaza dies Taoism and does not eat its dignity and religion. Gaza faces extermination and seeking help and there is no answer. Everyone around her is the dead until the glut of the humiliation of humiliation. And the mother Syria is seeking help and there is no answer. Oh my big country! Beware! Everyone will be eaten as Palestine has eaten!
I turn the page, so I can find what saved me from my stained and proves my heart.
Jalal al -Din al -Roumi, Shams al -Din al -Tabrizi, asked one day: “And the path to God?”
Gaza always lives for the sake of God, and one of its children dies in his path. This is the difference between Gaza and the whole world!
