For long time ago Egypt was known with its free Media and everyone was able to express his opinion without censorship, however, after creating what is called the highest media authority there is no freedom of speech any more. Recently the media authority decided to stop many programs because they didn t follow what is called the “Media Ethical Chart”. Instead of resorting to the court and they determine what is with the law and what is against the law. Now This authority became a small court ready to eliminate anyone doesn t follow its chart. Unfortunately, such kind of authority will never create a free society but on contrary, create more fears and doubts among society.

Paid my attention today one news about the death of Khaled Saeed’s Mother. I totally recognized when i read this news how painful could be when someone dies and feel absence of justice. Her son died and people killed him free or sentenced few years comparing to their action. One of the main things destroy societies is lack of justice and people feel they have fair channels to resort to when they want.

I knew father Marcos Aziz for long time. I had many interviews with him. We spent a lot of time discussing the Coptic situation and what is the solution to the persecution that Coptic suffer from last century. Every time I set a time with him for an interview I went to him in the hanging church. He always very generous and welcoming you in a way makes you feel special. He always was welcoming me as I m at his home.

It seems that we might have a third world war without recognizing that. Unfortunately, the US policy leaded by trump will put the world on its edge. Trump so far failed in his negotiation with North Korea, created a lot of tension with Iran after withdrawing from the nuclear agreement, defended Saudi Arabia after killing the Saudi Journalist “Jamal Kashogi”, and obtained a trade war with china and let the economy goes down every day. We must remind ourselves that sometimes wars happen unintentiona

Saudi Arabia announced lately executing of 37 persons. Their accusation was terrorism and threaten the national security. Egypt as well executed 39 persons, a lot of them was young people. I don’t want to discuss the execution as a punishment although I disagree completely with it.

With every strikes and demonstration starts in the Arab countries people start to dream to have freedom and welfare life as people in the west has. Unfortunately, people in our Arab region didn t learn the lesson after almost 5 countries failed change their regime and their style of life. I meant ( Lybia – Syria- Yemen- Egypt – Tunisia ).

Finally, the Sudanne s President Omar al-Bashir forced to step down by his army. This scene looks exactly like the scene happened in Egypt 6 years ago. Army step down a president and forced anther one step down. I have just was reading a book about why some countries are rich and some other are poor, although both of them could have the same potential. The book was explaining that land, labor and natural resources are main factors for production if used rationally.

The Egyptian player Mohamad Salah suffered lately from discrimination from some fans in England. Some fans was trying to see this discrimination is the cause for his week performance. If you live in Europe, you will see some discrimination from time to time but the most important is that you will see some other people refuse this discrimination and defend you and ask for justice.

If you ever felt there was a decision should be made long time ago and who should make it didn t make it , it means with no doubts that its not taken because it didn t help in a certain way. Egypt went through very tough economic decision in the last 5 years and president Sisi keep telling Egyptian I can t increase your salaries because he claimed that he doesn t enough budget to increase salaries. Suddenly on March 29th, Sisi decided to increase all salaries for all governmental employee and he still didn t explain to us from he could find a budget for this increase suddenly especially with the amendments in the constitution that the parliament discuss for now. In conclusion, No doubt that every citizen needs this increase especially that inflation in Egypt reached its highest rates in decades, however, presidents of Egypt always just give when they need something.

Finally president Sisi ordered the government to withdraw the appeal from the court against and give the pension deserved to the old people. No doubt that this step is coming while we are close to amend the constitution so Sisi wants to get some support from the people in that difficult time.

After Saudi Arabia admitted killing The journalist jamal khashoggi will Egypt admit killing the Italian student Rogeny? This is a big question and the answer should only known by the Egyptian authority Everyone know that Rogeni killed by security people and after same accident happened to the Saudi Journalist everyone thought that this is the right time to admit Killing the student and try to introduce the killers to justice.

Arab leaders dont give their people any chance to choose and they force them to accept what they want. From Sudan, Algeria, Syria to Egypt, there is no much choices people have. In Sudan, the president divided the country between North and south, trying to capture all the opposition and put then in the prison.

With every accident happens in Egypt we see that simple Egyptians pay the price of this careless accidents whatever this accident was a train accident or a boat accidents. In all countries there is something called a code of work and a code of ethics which control people from doing the wrong while they are at work and at the same time find a way to compensate victims if anything bad happened.

In one of his stupid statement Ahmad abou Al-ghaeit said lately that Plasteine issue is the main reason of extremism in the region. I don’t understand how a politician can justify violence and make it sounds right. Let me tell you Mr abou Al-ghaeit why there is a violence in our region. When we lack to justice and resort to revenge as a mean to wipe out our political rivals, will be always violence. When we see corruption and can’t do anything with it, will be always violence. When we teach our children to hate others in schools and mosques, will be always violence.

When you live abroad for a while it is easy to notice many things you wouldn t notice if you live inside your native country. Lately, I noticed while walking or going somewhere that a lot of people actually read and listen to the news of their original country not the country they live in now. Although many left their countries for many reasons from persecution to search for a better life, however, everyone is still connected to his native country through social media, TV and The News. While we are in the Valentine s Day, that shows the love everyone carry for his native country although the suffering and the problems he passed by in his life to come to a new country. In conclusion, we can feel the love going through our body to our countries even if we don t live in it anymore and that s why this year I want to say Happy Valentine s Egypt.

Again Egyptian and the political regime in Egypt don t want to learn from his past mistakes and lately member of the parliament suggested many amendments to the constitution. These amendments mainly targeting increasing how many times the president can run for the election, thus, president Sisi can be in the power for longer time. Unfortunately, most of the intellectual and elite of the society can t utter a word or objecting what s going to happen otherwise they will face what the Egyptian director “Khaled Youssef” faced by provoking him with sexual videos.

CNN released recently a report comparing between Apple Revenues and some Arab countries revenues and the report shows that Apple almost beat all the Arab countries revenue like (Egypt- Emirates- Saudi Arabia) not combined but individually. For Example the report showed that apple revenue was about 250 Billion Dollar compare to 239 to Saudi Arabia, 112 to Emirates, 56 to Egypt, 54 to Kuwait, and 49 to Qatar. The statistics explain why US Economy still remain one of the strongest economies on the earth although all troubles happened lately with China related to the trade war. It s a big shame when we see a company in US can beat bif counties especially Egypt which has now over 95 Million population who should be a main power for the economy. Having said that, we need to recognize that this is a big challenge that Arab countries face and we should take it as incentive to work hard and beat such numbers but will the Arab leaders listen and follow, this is the real challenge.

Lately Muslims destroyed 1,125 churches in Nigeria. This number is a close number of the churches that Muslims Brotherhood burned in Egypt after stepping Mohamad Morsi down in 2013. Unfortunately, the Muslim extremists burn and destroy churches without any mercy everywhere without counting any responsibility of their actions. The international community keeps silent for everything related to Christians and churches. I imagine if Christian s people burned or destroyed the same number of mosques what would be the international reaction toward that violence. There is no doubt that we now suffer from very week international system which doesn t have enough tools to deal with violence against human and against freedom of religious. With the current American trend which encourage tyrant to take over and with the American trend to not defend human rights against extremism I don t think this violence against Christians and their churches will stop soon. In conclusion, I can sense a new international system coming in the road, with France and Germany signed lately a military agreement and with US trying to fight with China and face Russia might be the solution in this new international system.

The last attack from the extremists on the priests and Copts in Minya showed with no doubts that we are living in a chaos and in absence of law. Not only Copts can t find a place to pray but also Salafists and sheikhs attack them because they pray on an empty place or they pray in their church. Unfortunately, the governor of Minya and the state security can t control the extremists because they like what they do and they agree on it. In fact, we have repeated many times that the situation in Egypt will not change and this is simply because extremists Muslims believe that they are above any law. In conclusion, if Egypt didn t change the culture and education methods in Schools and mosques to teach people to accept other and be tolerant, the situation is going to get worse especially for Copts.

The US president Trump went into a fight with Nancy Polsi defending his promise to build a wall between US and Mexico. Trump withdrew from the meeting because Nancy Polsi was clear that she will not allow this wall to be built. In fact this wall will determine to a great extent the winner of the next presidential election that’s why we expect to see a lot of tension between the democrats and the republican because of that. From my opinion Trump will win to build the wall and will force that democrats to agree to his plan and accordingly he might win the next presidential election. In conclusion, with the winning of the trade war with China and building the wall between US and Mexico, there is no doubt that Trump will be the next US President.

Everyone now is talking about the recession that might happen in 2019, refereeing that the downside of the stock market along with the trade war with China will lead to that recession in the near future. According to Wikipedia, a recession is a business cycle contraction when there is a general slowdown in economic activity. Macroeconomic indicators such as GDP (gross domestic product), investment spending, capacity utilization, household income, business profits, and inflation fall, while bankruptcies and the unemployment rate rise. In the United Kingdom, it is defined as a negative economic growth for two consecutive quarters.
