(AMIN-PA) Eyad El-Sarraj - International organizations decided to prevent their workers from entering the Gaza Strip until further notice. Those who are currently staying are prohibited from walking the streets. They fear being kidnapped by Palestinians. Anyone watching and listening thinks we are on the verge of establishing an independent state. Are they not aware that there is no meaning for the word "law" in the Gaza Strip? The reality is that Gaza is controlled from inside by groups intertwined with security forces and clans, where weapons and money are distributed in this powerful network created in the last four years, fueled and empowered at the expense of the central authority. It seems that our security forces were mainly trained to protect official parades. Amidst this reality, the attorney general and a supreme court judge were attacked and neither is able to move freely. It seems that we are following Somalia, which is divided into armed feudal estates in which every leader is ruling a certain area. The feudality of money, weapons, and tribalism has become the ruling power in Gaza. The writer is chairman of the Gaza community mental health program. 2005-09-01 00:00:00Full Article
