Vogue Arabia unveils its October cover featuring Lebanon’s First Lady, Nehmat Aoun, in an exclusive story that highlights her voice, vision and values. In a rare glimpse into her life, Vogue Arabia was granted access to photograph Her Excellency both inside the presidential palace and in her childhood neighbourhood of Chiyah, capturing the duality of her role as a leader and as one of the people.

 

Sharing deeply personal reflections, Her Excellency, First Lady of Lebanon, Nehmat Aoun speaks candidly about her journey:

 

●      “I would like to be remembered as a First Lady who remained, above all, one of the people. A woman whose identity was not shaped by the title, but who instead worked to reshape the title itself!”

 

●      “Being surrounded by an unmatched role model, which is my mother and my two sisters, gave me core values and rooted beliefs. From my mother, I learned responsibility, resilience and above all, positivity in the face of challenges. She taught me that faith, compassion, family and remaining grounded in our values are the foundation on which everything else in life is built.”

 

●      “Like so many Lebanese, I have experienced loss – losing my home, losing the people I love and witnessing the many storms our nation has endured. Yet, as the wife of an army man, surrender was never an option.”

 

●      “As a first lady, I have made it my mission from day one to open the doors of Baabda Palace, both symbolically and practically. Whether by supporting civil society organisations, providing platforms for the youth or supporting Lebanese talents among other initiatives, I want people to feel that their voices matter and that the Palace belongs to them.”

●      “Lebanese youth are not indifferent; they are discouraged, and with good reason. They have endured crisis after crisis, yet I believe they remain the key to Lebanon’s rebirth. This country’s future cannot be written without their active participation.”

 

 

●      “Expressing myself through wearing Lebanese designers is about honouring that legacy of refinement, creativity and dignity that Lebanese women have carried for generations and celebrating Lebanese craftsmanship’s excellence.”

Beyond her personal story, the First Lady also shares her aspirations for Lebanon’s future, her dedication to empowering women and her ongoing support of Lebanese designers as a symbol of national pride.

 

Commenting on the significance of this cover, Manuel Arnaut, Head of Editorial Content at Vogue Arabia, said:
 

“It is an enormous honour to have Lebanon’s First Lady, Nehmat Aoun, grace our October cover. Spotlighting influential figures who embody strength, resilience and vision is a longstanding tradition of Vogue Arabia. In her, we witnessed both a determined leader committed to change and a kind human being who deeply understands her people. This feature is a celebration of Lebanon’s spirit – not the hardships it has endured, but the sophistication, creativity, and resilience that continue to define it. With Aoun’s leadership, there is a renewed sense of hope that Lebanon’s brightest days lie ahead.”

Malawi’s latest salacious scandal involves the highest office in the country. The manner in which President Peter Mutharika kissed his wife, Gertrude Mutharika during a much publicized Democratic Progressive Party Valentine’s day fundraising dinner has caused quite a stir in Malawi and on social media.

The event took place on Saturday, February 14th, 2015 in Lilongwe. Dawned in a black Chinese collar suit with a red bow tie, Mutharika presented a bouquet of flowers to his wife in celebration of Valentines Day. Then after being coaxed by the event’s host, he kissed the First Lady who was clad in a red dress in front of attendees and television cameras who were broadcasting the event to the entire nation.

Since this controversial public display of affection, Malawi has been abuzz with regards to the nature and length of the kiss in a controversy I dub ‘kissgate’.

Some of Malawi’s social media communities have been particularly harsh on Mutharika. Critics have argued that the President should not have kissed in wife in public because it was contrary to Malawian culture. They called the act of public kissing a “taboo” and have made references to it as evidence of moral corruption and cultural erosion in Malawi. They argued that kissing in public was something that was ‘unMalawian” and stemmed from Western values. Adding to the accusations that it was not Malawian, his decision to wear a Chinese suit was also came under attack.

As others scrutinized photos or replayed the video of the kiss, they argued that the kiss itself was alright but that the use of the presidential tongue in kissing for television was the real issue at hand. They argued that using ones tongue to kiss ones wife was not befitting for the highest office in the land and called it “disgusting”. They would have preferred that the President gave his wife a peck on the lips at such a function rather than what they perceived was a French kiss, which indicates an overt sexual act. Detractors alluded that his kiss that was too long, too fervent and hence, sloppy. One such commentator on the Nyasatimes was so disturbed and agitated by the presidential couple’s kiss that he opined, “Get a room you slobbering, couthless (sic) nincompoops!”

Many others were further irked by the accompanying comments that President Mutharika made to his wife during the presentation of the flower: “on this special day, I want to say thank you! Thank you for always being there for me through the frights and the cold nights….” The references to ‘cold nights’ were highly problematic for the country’s conservative citizens who would have rather have had that conversation relegated to the bedroom and not a public event.

Others on social media took it as an opportunity to use it as a platform to comment on his overall performance as a president. Chakwanuleka notes that “This fellow is a non performer (sic) and this is what he can do best”. More serious economic connections were also made in relation to who paid for the flowers and the party event. A few commented that regardless of who paid for it, holding such a lavish event in the middle of an on-going national flood disaster was insensitive.

Not everyone of course was against the president’s actions. Some Malawians were  content that on this Greco-Roman Holiday, Malawian President Peter Mutharika kissed his wife French style in a Chinese suit. After all, are we not living in a globalized era where cultures cross? His supporters state that kissing in public was  no more “unMalawian” than “wearing clothes” or doing anything we want to wrongly label “Western”. Others argued that it gave the President more of a human face and applauded him for being down to earth. They called it a “romantic” gesture on his part. Many suggested that it was a good move on his part to be able to show respect for his wife in this way. They argued that it would encourage other Malawian men to show affection and commitment to their wives in public as well.
