Majida El Roumi: From Art to Politics

Lebanese artist Majida El Roumi held a concert to support the students of the University of Saint Joseph in the university's campus under the title "For the Future of Lebanon and Its Youth," which was considered a historic event that resonated throughout Lebanon, bringing joy to those present and beautiful melodies to their ears. Majida, a symbol of Lebanese culture and art, managed during her concert to instill hope and spread happiness in people's hearts. At the beginning of the event, El Roumi, who shone in a royal red dress, delivered a national speech in which she criticized the economic, political, and financial crises plaguing the country. She addressed Lebanon's officials, stating: "When we talk about our relationship with officials, and I specify those involved in our blood and tears, they hear our cries of pain and do not care; it is difficult to speak of love, and even harder to understand how people have abandoned their humanity and betrayed the people." El Roumi emphasized that the suffering of the people is not by chance: "We did not reach here by accident; there is a tight political script being applied to us since the beginning of the war," adding, "The free Lebanese decision has been usurped, and the aim is to undermine any superiority in Lebanon." She concluded, "Lebanon has an eternal age; do not fear for the land, and we have time to regain our usurped free decision."
