Arabic term or phrase: الركوب على الحدث
بعد أن قضوا على السياحة نتيجة اهمالهم و جهلهم و انعدام كفاءتهم هاهم يمضون في اتجاه القضاء على الفلاحة و تهميشها . بعد ان اتّصل بي مجموعة من الفلاحين الذين تضرّروا من انتشار بكتيريا اللفحة النارية قمت بتصوير شريط فيديو قصير للتحسيس بخطورة المشكلة فما راعني الاّ اتهام البعض لي و الكعادة **بالركوب على الحدث** و لم افهم ما المقصود بذلك فاذا كان التحسيس بما يحدث في البلاد من مشاكل و محاولة التحسيس بها يعتبر **ركوبا على الحدث** فنعم انا راكبة و **ساركب على الاحداث** الى يوم مماتي
