Reuters and Al Ahram Hebdo both report that the great Syrian satirical cartoonist, Ali Ferzat, plans to re-launch al-Domari, or The Lamplighter, in Cairo
Ferzat was recently in Cairo, and, according to Reuters, sketches that he made while working near Tahrir Square will soon appear in a re-launched al-Domari, set to be based in Cairo.
Ferzat quitte Le Caire avec son enthousiasme et sa bonne humeur habituels et un espoir hors du commun. « La réédition de mon journal n’est pas une histoire de notoriété, mais une implantation d’idée. Moi, je m’en irais un jour (de ce monde), mais mes idées resteront à jamais immortalisées noir sur blanc. Ce journal ne sera pas uniquement ma réussite, mais celle de tout le pays ; c’est un symbole de développement. Il n’aurait pas dû s’arrêter si tôt … », regrette-t-il, sur un ton de litanie.
