Rashwan Abdelbaki

The fear inside all of us keeps us awake....we want to close our eyes and sleep in Peace. But in this crazy and complex world, at least we need to open one eye..... to know what is happening around us....... to be ready for anything new. Striped...like prisoners in our beliefs and our religions To the defense of our humanity....our existence
