So expats came and went (much earlier than expected for many), and expats never ended up coming due to the very entangled political situation. And Almaza is riffing rightfully on those who still are here. Heck, maybe it is even talking about those of us stuck here! "He who is still here raise your hand" - OK I admit it reminded me of the teaser revealer long long ago (Raise your head - raise your head and the revealer: Almaza raises the head (a double entendre in Arabic because you need to raise your head to drink and the Arabic equivalent of "makes you proud" - ارفع راسك - ارفع راسك - الماسة بترفع الراس) Small note all this happened sometime in the mid 90s so it's very old stuff.
