A year already yet no accountability for the crime: May Mr. Lokman Slim’s memory be eternal…

Today, Bambi’s heart goes to Ms. Monika Borgmann (spouse), Ms. Selma Merchak (mother), and Ms. Rasha al Ameer (sister). Without knowing them in person, she sends them a virtual hug.

Can you imagine loosing your son, the love of your life, and your dear brother in a brutal crime that remains unaccountable?!

Thanks to the National Post, Orient Today, L’Orient Le Jour (French) and Human Rights Watch for these informative articles:

Thank you Ms. Borgmann for tweeting this moving and thoughtful English interview with Mr. Slim entitled “Memory is a Battlefield“. What a calm and wise man. What a powerful message (ironically talking about accountability). What a loss for Lebanon and the world.

To conclude this post, one song comes again and again to Bambi’s mind, it is by Mr. Enrico Macias and it is called Un berger vient de tomber. She has already dedicated it to Mr. Slim last year. She will allow herself to re-do it again now. Un berger vient de tomber” means “a shepherd has just fallen under arms“. This moving French song was written for President Sadat on the second day after his assassination in 1981(Mr. Jacques Demarny wrote its lyrics and Mr. Macias composed its music):

Bambi’s older post related to this one:

Mr. Lokman Slim, an anti-Hezbollah critic, was brutally murdered in Lebanon!

And these are additional earlier posts by Bambi:

Mabrouk/Herzlichen Glückwunsch Ms. Monika Borgmann!

Isn’t Ms. Selma Merchak inspiring? Her son, Mr. Lokman Slim, was murdered in February to silence his critics of the Hezbollah. Despite her sorrow, and impunity, she remains full of humanity

Ms. Monika Borgmann’s first tweet since her spouse’s murder consisted of two words (in Arabic): “Zero Fear”… echoed by the courage of Beirut citizens

What a dignified lady: An interview with Mr. Lokman’s Slim’s mother after his assassination

Isn’t it disgusting to see the Hezbollah and its (supposedly Christian) ally intimidating clergymen for having participated in the multifaith funeral prayer for Mr. Lokman Slim?

Mr. Lokman Slim was shot in Beirut. Mr. Dany Turcotte was cancelled in Canada. Why is our world that intolerant?

After having received their Canada immigration visa two days ago, Mr. Joseph Bejjani’s family is in shock: He was assassinated with a silent pistol by two gunmen who confiscated his phone… His 3-year-old daughter was the first to arrive to the crime scene!
