The Real Face

Kamangir | April 30, 2006 | Category Iran

I do not think it is understandable for people living in Western countries, but the Iranian top politicians like the Supreme Leader and the President love the old-fashioned journeys to different cities. Take it as another weird habit of the Islamic Republic. For them, it is a sign of democracy. The “fact” that people come to see them is shown over and over in the national television and is announced as the nation’s support for the Islamic Republic. Any way, Ahmadinejad is enjoying his time giving speech in the poorest areas of Zanjan Province. These two pictures are taken from his journey. The first one shows an old woman raising a photograph of some men standing on a tank (its my guess). Given her wrinkled face and hands and also the cloths she is wearing, I say she is not enjoying a reasonable life. Now, why does she show that picture to Ahmadinejad? Probably she is saying, I have lost a son or a husband, or maybe both of them, in the war! So, why am I living like this? The second picture shows a hand written sheet which reads “For God’s Sake! Job!”.
To see the real face of the Iranian nation I suggest following the hand-made placards, not the officially printed ones.

    With those bars they look like they’re being herded into cattle pens.

    =/

    Just how popular are these rallies? They seem to generate huge crowds but from what your saying, it sounds like your very sceptical as to the reasons why people are there.

    Hi dear Arash, have you ever heard our president’s statements in RAP style by an underground music band?!!! They seem to be Basiji (without brake! –Persian:بی ترمز) or they’re gonna to acquire the legal permission to sing . I don’t know why they’ve ended the song with Azan’s tune and mentioned those Danish caricatures! By the way every one can sing RAP, but it depends on the topic you’re going to talk about! I’m sure that you know sometimes in Iran it’s very difficult to gain the authorization for a music album. Here’s the link:

    What are the possibilities of a régime change taking place in Iran? Is the president popular among the people?

    Yes, I’m Danish, from Ã…rhus. The home town of the dreaded cartoons.

    I thought I’d sent you my blog page but I guess I forgot.
