In the western eastern day, about 72 Pakistani Christians died a lot of them are children and hundreds injured. I want to stand here a little of time in the reaction of the international community toward what happened toward Pakistani Christians and compare it to their reaction toward what happened in France after many people killed in a shooting. When the shooting happened in France, all western countries were united and condemned the attack; furthermore, most of western leaders went to France to take part in the walk so express their Solidarity with France against the attack.

After the interior ministry announced that it could find the gang that responsible for killing “Guilio Regeni” and all local media and international media couldn’t stop talking about this matter. Unfortunately, I can say that the interior ministry introduced the evidence that the Egyptian police killed “Guilio Regeni”. I always believe that if you did something wrong, it will be known even after a while.

Lately I had the chance to know closely some of the Syrian refugee. I can’t deny how much I was feeling sorry for them. I was eager to ask them many questions about everything they saw and how was the situation before they leave their country; however, I thought it might not be the right time to go and open such subjects that might be wounds for them. Any way I could get an idea and recognize some of their traits. Some of their traits are close to the Egyptian traits in many things and different in others. When you see the Syrian you will feel that they are like the Egyptian exactly from Upper Egypt. You will see them kind, humble, struggling to survive, has dreams to be better and improve the quality of their life.

In his last speech to Amr Adeb, President Sis was trying to explain the programs and projects he is willing to finfish before his first period finish. When I was listening carefully to all what he said, I found out that he was talking about housing projects, Fish Farms, in Sinai and in other places. Although, I have no problems for doing any of these projects, however, I don’t see it’s appropriate to the presidents Sisi to speak about these projects. I understand that these kinds of projects should be the responsibility of house Ministry and ministry of agriculture.

The last decree to prison 4 Coptic for 5 years gives very bad indication about Egypt and the freedom of expression inside Egypt. This sentence is not the first precedence to prison people because of their opinion and their thoughts. This let me ask the regime that question; do you want to turn Egypt to be a big prison for everyone? Before the 4 Coptic, the court prisoned also Islam Behary for 3 years, Fatma Naout and The writer Ahmad Nagy because of his novel “The usage of life” and although I might have some concerns and remarks on his novel, however, I can’t believe that the regime can prison him instead of discussing his work and shows what’s good and what’s bad in it.

Once the member of the parliament Tawfik Okasha hosted the ambassador of Israel in his house and all the media and politician criticized him like crazy. Even more there are some voices calling to eliminate him from the parliament. What a Hypocrite society! All media and politician were trying to convince themselves and deceive us by saying that we are boycotting Israel and we are not allowed to have any cooperation with Israel.

I remember I wrote an article one month ago about the violation that interior ministry does lately and that should stop by any way. I have mentioned that Sisi should play an important role in amending the interior ministry behaviour otherwise it means that he didn’t learn the lesson from the previous presidents. When a single behaviour repeated many times, it means we in front of a phenomenon that could cause a big problem not only to the regime but also for the whole society. The interior ministry which is supposed to be responsible for the security and let people feel safe become doing the opposite actions.

Yesterday all doctors held emergency assembly to express their anger from the police officer behaviour against them. I can’t blame Doctors to demonstrate and express their anger from such behaviours; however, I can’t accept also them to go in strikes. There are big difference between demonstrate and going in strikes. To demonstrate you will be able to express your anger and raise some signs can express your demands, at the same time after you demonstrate you will back to your work and see your patients.

After the death of the Italian young man in Egypt and found his body in Alex highway, there are many questions we need to ask about the security procedures that taken place in Egypt and who is responsible for all forced disappearance we read every day. I believe that all of these accidents are connected somehow, and what lead me to get this conclusion that all these accidents happens almost in the same way.

While I’m browsing Facebook, I read a story about a woman that went to Tahrir Square in the anniversary of the 25th revolution. She was demonstrating against Sisi and the interior ministry. When I read more I found out that this woman belongs to Muslims Brotherhood and she demonstrate against Sisi and interior ministry because her husband and her son died in “El-Nahda Square” after the army forced The ex-president Morsi to step Down after the demonstrations of June 30th 2013.

January 25th is just mere days away. Emotions are running high. I feel as though people are panicking for what fate awaits them in just a few days. I'm not sure if the air is tense with protestors brewing and ready to oust the current president, Sisi, or if the tension is coming from those who are anxious and desperately want peace in the land. Either way, the anxiety amongst all the people is almost palpable. It is as if there is some kind of force entering people's homes and creating this uneasiness all around. What I can say is, I hope that all that comes with the 25th is a memorial for all the lives that were lost, and a celebration for the new found steps made towards Egypt progressing in a positive way.

While we are close to completing the first month since the first session for the Egyptian parliament, we have to evaluate and think about what this parliament will do and what the will achieve for the next 4 years? We muust also ask ourselves the question: will this parliament be able to face the challenges that Egypt is currently facing? Will this Parliament be organized and be able to be beneficial for Egyptians? The first feature I can notice about this parliament is that it has no outstanding character or as we would say, it doesn’t have a leader or majority that can lead the vote with or against the bills that the parliament supposed to discuss in the coming months.

As we all know, just last Wednesday we all celebrated the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. Midnight mass is always a time for celebration. Everyone comes excited for many reasons. Some of us dress up in our best clothes, some of us can't wait to take communion so we can eat some meat, all of us come ready to celebrate and event that happens once a year and is cherished in our hearts. Imagine you go to church praying, minding your own business, and suddenly out of nowhere or the president of your country comes to congratulate you on this special event. This is the second year in a row that President Sisi came to congratulate his Holiness Pope Tawadros ll jeering Christmas mass. He came and rallied up the congregation, and said a few nice words, while laughing and smiling with everyone. He even heard the congregation break out in cheers, rooting for him and showing their appreciation.

Every day I read about the carelessness that exists everywhere in Egypt. Whenever I hear the expression, “The regime hasn’t changed” I think, have we ever thought about reversing this statement so it becomes, “The people haven’t changed,” instead of the regime? I still see people throwing garbage all over the street, what does this have to with the regime? I still see people trying to pay and take bribes to finish what they want in a way convenient for them, regardless of the system. Is this related to the regime or to the people themselves?

In this coming New Year, we all take the time to send our best wishes to one another and congratulate them for a new upcoming year, hopefully filled with happiness and health for family and loved one everywhere. At the same time we celebrate the birth of Christ, which gives us a new hope for life, not only for our traditional life but also our spiritual life. The birth of Christ represents the new birth for all of us with our new nature. This nature should glorify God in all His grace that He gave to every one of us. I know giving thanks nowadays is not an easy thing, especially with what’s going on the world everywhere which many people are suffering from different things. Some people may be facing the war that goes on everywhere nowadays, some may be suffering from their health, and others from losing someone they love. Suffering should not push you to be hopeless; it should give you a new incentive towards life, and always look to the birth of Jesus as a new hope in your life. In conclusion, I want to wish all our readers a Happy New Years with a new hope. Asking God to help Christians in the Middle East, especially with what’s going against them every day.

Egypt has about a million faults. It has garbage everywhere. The streets are not safe. The political process is still a sight for sore eyes. Today, I want to focus on one thing that the country of Egypt doesn’t have, which is devastation. Yes there are many tragedies, kidnappings, killings, but not enough to declare the country of Egypt in a state of devastation. Syria does not have the same luxury at the moment; they are struggling between living under ISIS or the Regime, or with the Rebels. The holiday season is upon us. This is a time to celebrate the birth of Jesus, to spend time with our families, cherish memories and moments that gives us the very meaning of life. It is also a time, where loneliness and depression is felt for those who have no one to celebrate with. I don’t mean to create this air of sadness, but I want us to take a moment to remember that we are blessed in this life.

With all the turmoil and suffering around us, we have always had strong hearts with hopeful spirits. The general consensus has been “Egypt will get better” “Give the Country time to rebuild” I believe that there has been a shift in this ideology, because honestly speaking there is a limit for everyone, and for every circumstance, and when that limit is reached, an ideology based on apathetic, indifferent attitudes is formed. I can’t speak for all of Egypt, but I can speak for myself when I say I have grown cold to the idea of positive thinking. It is so tiring to always remain hopeful in terrible situations. Or when tragedy strikes, to think “That’s ok, we are taking steps to fix the issue” We are always acting in a response to something bad happening. We then proceed to tell ourselves that we should remain strong and to believe in our country, our parliament, our people.

The many recent accidents that have happened in Egypt show us how “responsible” people, those who are in charge, are careless and don’t care about other peoples’ lives. One of these such accidents is the fire at the nightclub that left at least 20 people dead and many injured. Also, we can’t forget what happened in Alexandria recently due to the heavy rain and also how this careless tragedy left many people dead, while also destroying a lot of shops and stores in the city. However, without the interference of the Army to save to the city, Alexandria would be drowning right now.

Anyone trying to observe Turkey’s Inclinations, especially after it destroyed the Russian war airplane, will come to find that Turkey defends terrorism more than they defend democracy. I read a lot of comments from Turkey’s politicians and I have never read any comment saying, “Sorry for killing the Russian Soldiers” even if it wasn’t Turkey’s mistake. Turkey isn’t an enemy to Russia and Russia didn’t declare the war against Turkey because of this accident.

There are two events that have happened recently in Egypt. These two events are completely related, but at the same time, are contradicting. The first event was the first phase of the parliamentary elections in which the participation reached to barely 12%, and if we compare this percent with the parliamentary elections in 2011, we will find a big difference. This indicates to me that the Egyptians are not satisfied and don’t believe in the political process any more.

No normal human being in the world couldn't sympathsyis with france for what happened last day resulting in killing more than 127 people and left 200 people injured. Its a horrible and inhumanity accedient. I introduce my condolence and asking God to have mercy in their souls.
