Modern-day slaves toil in Lebanon's 'kafala' system DW 12/18/2025

Abang Sharon arrived in Lebanon on April 24 last year, having travelled there from Cameroon. The 21-year-old had a goal in Lebanon to work and earn money so she could support her family back home.

Rabih Alameddine wins National book award for fiction with darkly comic epic spanning six decades

This morning I saw two videos, he said. One was of an ICE agent. The woman was on the asphalt, zip-tied. He came over and zapped her, and then carried her like garbage and threw her in the back of the SUV. The second video, he continued, showed a Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon that was bombed and 12 people died. And I kept thinking: they make a desolation and call it a ceasefire. Sometimes, as writers, we have to say: enough.
