سوريا (Suria) -  نمضي قدما (Namshi Qaddaman)

Syria is a state in the Middle East and part of the Mashreq. Syria borders Israel and Jordan to the south, Lebanon and the Mediterranean to the west, Türkiye to the north and Iraq to the east. At around 185,000 km², Syria is about half the size of Germany. However, due to the civil war and its ongoing political and social upheaval, Syria no longer exists today as a cohesive, sovereign state.

More than 22 million people live in the country, mostly Sunni Muslims, but also a large number of other religious minorities such as Alawites, Druze and Christians. Before the civil war broke out, the most populous cities were Aleppo, Damascus, Homs, Hama and Latakia. There are eight state and several private universities in the country, including the German-Syrian Wadi International University. Agriculture, the extraction and export of oil as well as the production of textiles and food are important economically for Syria. However, economic performance collapsed sharply due to the civil war, and the Syrian lira was temporarily subject to strong inflation.

The 63 B.C. The Roman province of Syria, founded in 634 BC, was rich and important; after Islamization began in 634, the area alternated between claims to power. The Syrian Republic was first founded in 1930 and became independent in 1946. After a coup in 1963, the Arab socialist Baath Party ruled the country in a dictatorial and totalitarian manner, with a member of the al-Assad family at the helm from 1971 onwards. Under their rule, there were numerous violations of human rights in Syria, which were internationally condemned. As of 2003, Syria was the last remaining Ba'athist state, as the other government in Iraq had been militarily overthrown by an invasion by a US-led coalition. Unlike other Arab dictatorships (e.g. in Iraq and Libya), which originally had an ambivalent relationship with the West, the regime in Syria had already sought political proximity to important and powerful allies during the Cold War, especially Russia, Iran and China and North Korea, which maintained and guaranteed its power politically and militarily. In December 2024, President Bashar al-Assad was exiled to Moscow and resigned from office.

República de Honduras - Al Estilo Catracho

Honduras is a country in Central America. Honduras borders Nicaragua, El Salvador and Guatemala. The state name is derived from the Spanish word hondura, which means depth.

In 1821, the provincial oligarchy joined the uprising of the other Central American provinces against the Spanish crown. After only two years of being part of the Mexican Empire, they became independent within the confederation of the "United Provinces of Central America" (Central American Confederation). One of its leading figures, Francisco Morazán (1792–1842), revered as the "Central American Bolívar," came from Honduras. But even he could not prevent the breakaway of his home province and the collapse of the confederation in 1839. From the very beginning of "freedom," several factions of the oligarchy fought for power.

Burkina Faso - Laafi Laafi

Burkina Faso (translated as "Land of the Upright Man,") it is a landlocked West African country located south of the Niger River and bordering Mali, Niger, Benin, Togo, Ghana, and the Ivory Coast. The country gained its independence on August 5, 1960. Until August 4, 1984, it used the name Republic of Upper Volta (French: République de Haute-Volta), which it received during its time as a French colony. The pan-Africanist-socialist President Thomas Sankara, who seized power in a coup in 1983 after a period of political instability, had the country renamed.

The administrative and cultural capital of the country, which has a population of around 20.1 million, is the centrally located city of Ouagadougou. The predominantly flat, landlocked country, with parts of the greater Sudanese and Sahel region, is characterized by a tropical climate and diverse savannah landscapes. About half of Burkinabe people belong to the politically dominant Mossi ethnic group, who lived in several strictly hierarchically organized kingdoms until colonized by France at the end of the 19th century. Around 60 indigenous languages ​​are spoken in Burkina Faso. Islam is the most widely practiced religion alongside traditional beliefs. Burkina Faso has long been one of the poorest countries in the world, but after the revolution, it was characterized for a long time by a certain stability and peaceful coexistence between the ethnic groups represented in the population. Regularly recurring droughts often cause great hardship for the population, who mainly live as farmers.

Following a coup against the incumbent government under elected President Roch Marc Kaboré on January 24, 2022, the military led by Paul-Henri Sandaogo Damiba seized power in Burkina Faso. On September 30, 2022, Damiba was overthrown by rival military officers under Captain Ibrahim Traoré, who are sympathetic to Russia. Parts of the country are under the control of jihadists belonging to the terrorist organizations Islamic State or al-Qaeda.

Krowdexx - WE THE LOUDEST

Even as a small child I wanted to learn a musical instrument...

...since there was a music school in our small town where I grew up, but it was limited to the activities of the local musicians' band, the choice was rather limited... because piano, guitar or saxophone were not offered and that's why I decided me for the trumpet, which was not used for cast-technical reasons, so the FLÜGELHORN became my instrument...
In my youth I turned my back on music and was active in sports towards the end of my teenage years.
