fallait aussi parler, même un tout petit peu, des effets collatéraux de la tornade...
tout le monde ne parle que de ca... pleins de jeunes tunisiens comme toi et moi se sont bcp depensé pour qu'a ce sommet les jeunes du monde soient present et qu'on n'oublie pas ceux des pays pauvres. et personne ne parle d'eux (pour l'instant).
Malheureusement les tornades ou plutot cyclone ne font bouger que les parties collaterales et l'oeil du cyclone reste malheureusement calme. ce sujet comme tant d'autres reste dans pour l'instant dans l'oeil du cyclone.
ou mahlena les jeunes comme toi et moi, sghayrin, bahin, aklin, metbassmin... chkoun kifna...
