Sabrina Returns Home

'In the grubby little zoo outside Gaza City, a man gave a thumbs up to a lion in a cage.

"Welcome back," he said, as his children beamed at the animal.

Sabrina had been snatched from her cage two years earlier.

But last month, Hamas forces freed Sabrina from a notorious criminal gang. To many Gazans, Sabrina's release is a vivid example of how security has improved since Hamas routed Fatah forces to take control of the Gaza Strip'.

It seems as Hamas is trying to bring more normality to Gaza and bring back a more resemblance of what life was like before Fatah’s lawlessness in the strip.

They have two major things to contend with though, to bring foreward a better functioning judicial system and economy. Even through the infiltrations still by Abbas's Fatah and the strangle hold that Israel keeps imposing on them.

I would seriously think these are major elements on their agenda, towards making Gaza a better, happier place to live; that it only takes a matter of time and patience.

Like the happiness on a child’s face, seeing Sabrina the lion returned to the zoo.
