  • The image depicts a coastal scene with several fishing boats moored or resting on the shore. Some boats are partially submerged in shallow water, while others are docked along the beach. The background features sandy shores and low-lying buildings, with a mountainous area visible in the distance. The overall atmosphere suggests a tranquil seaside environment, typical of a fishing village. Iran. In Chabahar, Fear of the Virus Reduces Smuggling Elsa Perret · April 2020
  • The image depicts a scene of a gathering in an urban environment during the evening. In the foreground, soldiers in military gear, including helmets, are present, with one holding a megaphone, suggesting a communication or announcement to the crowd. The background features a large, colorful wall or mural that displays the Lebanese flag and some Arabic text, likely conveying a political or social message. The crowd surrounding the soldiers appears engaged, with various expressions on their faces, indicating a sense of tension or anticipation in the atmosphere. The setting is illuminated by artificial lighting, hinting at the late hour. Lebanon. The Political Class Saved (provisionally?) by Covid-19 Jim Muir · April 2020
