"So where was Hamza? Why didn't he embrace his father after he was declared the President of the party?"

"Nah, I think not. Who sat next to who is the key! The Two Sharif Brothers with a capital S sat next to each other.

"I am reminded of what Bertrand Russell said: our great democracies still tend to think that a stupid man is more likely to be honest than a clever man, and our politicians take advantage of this prejudice by pretending to be even more stupid than nature made them."
