"Ramallah, fear and curfews, check... " a Ramallah Travel Page by NadiaMarie

saturday 15 febrary,

In direct from Ramallah. Today like in many other cities around the world, a demonstration took place in Ramallah.... But, not many people came to the place Almanara... about 200 people. It is due to the weather some would say, but also because the last time a demonstration took place, the army attacked straight!!

The Moqata is partly destroyed, student cannnot go to the university due to the check points, in the end of the afternoon, all shops close and you d better not walk in the evening not to be catch by a mad israelian.... where is the right?

Yasser Arafat is very tired and doesn t have any choice but to stay in the building. He received us, the internationals, yesterday, and just told us simply the last exactions commited by israelian power on the ground of palestine...

Torture, controls, arrests without reasons but to be an arab, cold murdered are the daily life here in Palestine... I haven t encountered yet any family where no one has been killed, injured, sent to jail or molested....

more later...
