THE SEASON OF MIGRATION TO ANYWHERE

(A Collection of Short Stories)

 

 

 

DEVELOPMENT

 

 

The slogans bursting out of the demonstration:

 

We are not afraid of your oppression
Nor can your massacres destroy us
Our legal claims nourish in us
The useful  fight for our legal question

No freedom , no employment
No education, no development…

 


The megaphone:

"O protesters! This is an illegal gathering, an unauthorized action and a violation to public order.  So, you have two minutes to disperse peacefully. Otherwise, our security forces will do it by force...

This is an illegal gathering, an unauthorized action and a violation to public order.  So, you have two minutes to disperse peacefully. Otherwise, our security forces will do it by force...

O protesters! This is… So ... Otherwise ... "

 


The helicopters unleash their rain of leaflets:

-Look at the sky!
-Why are all those helicopters hovering above? 
-They will bomb us!
-No, they must be taking photos for us!
-But look carefully: they are dropping thousands of leaves in the air!
-Bank-notes, I think?
-No, they these seem to be much larger...
-Leaflets?
-But it is us who should distribute leaflets, not helicopters!...
-Here is the first  one!
-Oh! It is a manifesto!

 


Reading the manifesto:

Brave people! Free people! Good people! The country calls you. The country salutes you  and lets you know the latest good news: The rate of growth this year has reached its maximum with the opening of new markets worldwide and increasing demand for our products, prostitution and plants of happiness ...

 

This can only have a positive impact on internal labour market  since it will assimilate all the active citizens. As for the inactive,  we have reserved an unemployment benefit in daily life: a prostitute and a bunch of the plant of happiness for every idle citizen.

 

Brave people! Free people! Good people! Congratulations and Glory to our homeland! ...
