an yet unfinished novel

النار – nar – fire

I, Aly Azour, the leading Admiral of the osmanian fleet, unleashed a revolution against a dictatorial regime, which opressed its population. I ordered to attack the coastal military bases of the government I was no more proud to serve. After the signal was given, the opposition organised and the masses protested against tyranny and corruption. The opposition was declared illegal and labeled as an enemy group of the people. After more and more chaos, the armed opposition launched a rebellion. In the first times of the civil war, the dictator mostly retreated, but many rebels were radicalised and other corrupted their brothers-in-arms, betrayed them and compromised their values.

ريح – reh – wind

When a new government proclaimed the State of Greather Osmania, which claimed russian territories in the caucasus, Russia’s security council declared war on the radical new regime of Osmania. Some remnants of the old regime had allied before with the president of the Russian Federation. After some years of harsh fights, the radicals were totally decimated and the old corrupt masters were reinstalled. Now these are puppets of Russia, the real victor of this decade-long war. After this horrible war, some allies betrayed the osman people they pledged to help, by refusing to give asylum to osman refugees.

الماء – al-maa – water

After the defeat I was arrested by the russian marine. Now I am writing my autobiography and about the terrific civil war which ravaged my country. In addition, I am dreaming of a society without strong central authority. Decentralised communities should in my opinion replace the government, civil militias the police, donations the taxes and worker’s associations the companies. The workers should work by temporal determined contracts with limited obligations among equals. Finally, every citizen should get unconditionnal basic income. This utopian dream may rest a dream, but it is a better one than the egoistic dreams of many government officials.

حلم – halam – dream

Last night I had a dream, where a female Jinn spoke to me. We talked about money and power. (to becontinued)
