We& #39;re unfortunately, one of the few global startup stories in the country.

Today, because of a tweet that& #39;s not endorsed by our company from a personal account, I read calls to fire an employee & boycott #anghami

That& #39;s our sad #Lebanon life. Our new demarcation lines? Mat7af or Gallery Semaan?
I am very well versed in tech, and know ziltch in politics & would like to remain so.

Moreover, most of us believe that we& #39;re heading to worse times!

Have we @anghami ever dealt into politics or endorsed personal attacks? No.
Do people deserve to be fired in a country that& #39;s bleeding unemployment because an opinion? No.

We& #39;re all suffering, we& #39;re all in pain. People & businesses.
Our country& #39;s economy needs us productive today more than any other day.
I just refuse to be part of either camp.
I am for life, for growth.

Since 1975, the country perfected the art of killing each other, and dividing each other.
Today, it& #39;s not guns & missiles, it& #39;s attacking each other with words and insults.

What if we work together to build a productive economy, built from #manufacturing #agriculture #technology & more?

What if instead of attacking each other we can make a chain to lift each other?
We& #39;re all drowning together.
