Le 6 février dernier, Murad Subay, m’a envoyé une photographie du collage qu’il venait de terminer rue Ordener dans le XVIIIème arrondissement de Paris.
Son collage représente une famille composée de trois personnes, une femme sur la droite de l’œuvre, un homme à gauche et au centre un jeune garçon. Les trois personnages figurent une scène : une mère accueille son jeune garçon qui court la rejoindre suivi par son père.

Les fresques de Murad Subay ne laissent personne indifférent. Les médias faute d’une connaissance suffisante de l’artiste le nomment le « Banksy du Yémen ». D’autres le qualifient d’« artiste de rue » et d’ « activiste politique ». Comparaison n’est pas raison. Ce sont des street artistes (et non des artistes de rue ! Traduction par trop littérale) qui créent des images dont les messages sont politiques. Banksy et Subay ne sont ni les premiers, ni les seuls, et le street art politique est une des catégories du street art.

Prison of Blood
There are prisons in every country, but for an entire country to turn into a prison, this is catastrophic itself.
The forces of oppression and death conspired against the Yemeni people and their dreams, turning entire country into a prison for more than thirty million Yemenis, who dreamed of a homeland for themselves and their children.

منذ سنوات الحرب دأبت المليشيات على جميع أشكالها وبالأخص مليشيات الحوثي على تغيير المناهج التعليمية في مناطق سيطرتها بما يوائم مع أجنداتها، وبهذا يتعرض الملايين من الأطفال اليمنيين، لعملية غسل للأدمغة في أكبر كارثة يتعرض لها التعليم في تاريخ اليمن.
بهذا أدعو الجميع لحرق الكتب التي تم تكريسها كمناهج خارج نطاق التعليم العام للدولة وأي كتب تم تحريفها في فترة الحرب، كونها تغييرات تعليمية قسريا، وتسهم في تقسيم المجتمع على أساس طائفي مقيت.
أدعوكم للمشاركة على هاشتاق #احرق_كتب_الكراهية
During years of the war that still raging, the militias in all their forms, especially the Houthi militia, have been changing the educational curricula in their areas of control in line with their agendas. With this, millions of Yemeni children are subjected to a brainwashing process based on a sectarian aspect in the biggest disaster facing education in the history of Yemen.
With this, I call on everyone to participate in burning the books that were devoted as curricula outside the scope of the general education of the state and any books that were distorted during the war period, as they are forced educational changes, and contribute to the division of society on an abhorrent sectarian basis.
I invite you to participate on the hashtag #Burn_Hatred_Books
