This is a local Egyptian proverb “From each field a flower” and this is exactly what today’s article would be, not a specific subject but all subjects concerning Egyptians and Egyptian streets, the thoughts of today and yesterday, the 1st president visit to the United Kingdom in 13 years, the Aeroplane accident in Sinai, Old Age people concerns on a minister declaration about due pensions and many more issues but let me start with a vital question to international intelligence that suggests the Aeroplane accident in Sinai was a terrorist attack!
The West always likes to appear as experts in everything, even in matters they are clearly not. In the latest Russian airplane crash in Egypt, all of the UK, the US, and France started to suggest that the airplane was bombed from inside. They are trying to say that our Intelligence Agencies figured out this fact without waiting for the investigation’s outcome.
Means of media are numerous nowadays, but there is no charter of honor to control them. Media have become a commodity to be sold without pangs of remorse. It became more of a business and investment that only aims to gain money even by spreading false information and threatening the national security. Therefore, several journalists are paid a lot of money to achieve such filthy goals. Media should be neutral as powerful weapon to save the community and preserve the dignity and rights of the people.
The Egyptian and Russian presidents have realized that the American Administrators will always follow the World Zionist scheme to implement the division of the Middle East countries, which already began decades ago. This scheme that developed to divide the countries of the region to what is called the Arab Spring. The two leaders dedicated their knowledge and efforts to study the scheme that already succeeded in Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Syria, and Tunisia using ISIS that was supported by some Gulf countries such as Saudi Arabia and organizations like the Muslim Brotherhood in Kuwait and Bahrain. This support enabled them to have a lot of weapons and money. Military experts of the US Army trained IS soldiers. The organization used Islamic cover to fight Islamic countries using the most brutal methods known by men.
The Egyptians know Mr. Osama Heikal, one Maspero officials who were responsible for the great massacre against the peaceful Coptic demonstrators. The official state television incited against Christians by claiming that the Christian demonstrators have attacked the Egyptian army and killed several soldiers. Maspero Massacre was initially staged as demonstrations on October 2011 by a group dominated by Egyptian Copts in reaction to the demolition of a church in Upper Egypt claimed to be built without appropriate license. The peaceful protesters who intended to stage a sit-in in front of the Maspiro television building were attacked by security forces and the army, resulting in 28 deaths, mostly among the Coptic protestors, and 212 injuries, most of which were sustained by Copts.
Cunning of Sadat cost him dearly as well as the homeland. Most of his retinue supported him without even thinking. He took office in 1970, and witnessed the great 1971 Constitution which stated that the presidential term is 6 years for only two sessions. This means he had to hand over the presidency in 1982. However, Sadat was hoping to rule forever. Therefore, he decided to use the religion to achieve his goal. He amended the second article of the Constitution to state that the Islamic Sharia is the main source of legislation.
Yes first part of elections is over however set backs all over; We all know the results and somehow we are all disappointed When a business man his main activity is buying old houses, to demolish them and build towers over the same space the old house occupied with apartments for rent or sell in each floor as much apartments as the whole old house, it is a self generating money business why the hell would such a person buy his sit to the parliament buying the voters who decided not to vote for the good of the country nut accepted to sell their concious? Is it to help the country rise again? Where the hell was he when he left his construction site with a mountain of left over construction rubbish?
No one can deny the importance of the media in any society. However, this shouldn’t be taken as a reason to tolerate the media when they are going in the wrong direction. I don’t want to focus on the last episode introduced by Riham Saeed. I completely am against what she did, and I believe she should go to the court for her actions. Having said that, Riham Saeed is just an example of the turmoil we live in nowadays. Facing terrorism doesn’t mean hiding all the problems and mistakes that the executive authorities do everyday against its citizens. Everyday I read a new story about a prisoner dying due to their torture and abuse in the custody of the jail. If we go back to the 25th of January 2011 revolution, we will remember that parliamentary elections in 2010 and the increase in the torturing of prisoners were the reasons the revolution was sparked. I believe that we have a similar situation now as we had before.
Several religious posters appeared on the walls of buildings and means of transportation in Egypt during the first phase of the parliamentary elections. The same people who used to trade on religion are still trading. They used such posters to assure their presence and impose religion in all aspects of life in Egypt. Those who don't respect such posters should be called infidels and accused of contempt of religion!
It was coincidence that the historical city of Alexandria was flooded by heavy rain at the time the government is thinking about floating exchange rates of the Egyptian pound. Both governors of Alexandria and the Central bank resigned at the same time as well. Governor of Alexandria denied his resignation hours before it was confirmed. The governor of the central bank did his best to save the Egyptian economy, but governor of Alexandria didn’t do his best to prevent the disaster and had to leave.
I knew the Egyptian online forces after the dispersal of Rabaa Adawia and Nahda sit-ins. At that time, several Egyptian governmental websites were under attack until the Egyptian hackers appeared calling themselves Egyptian online forces. They don’t belong to the government, but they do belong to Egypt. Therefore, they started to attack counter Egypt websites that incite against police and army.
Egyptians proved during the first phase of the Egyptian elections that the revolution is still going to cleanse Egypt of corruption and Religious fanaticism that hit the country since Sadat's rule that witnessed the emergence of political Islam. The ruling regime used political Islam to hit the opposition. Saudi Arabia backed extremist groups aiming to spread Wahabbism in Egypt. After January revolution, the Military Council recognized the terrorist groups and the religious parties, and gave them the country to ensure their safe exit.
Last week for exceptional reasons I had to apologize from writing my weekly article as I never before had experienced such a strong stroke of flu. It was not just sneezing or coughing, rise in temperature or fever I just experienced all that adding to it a total drop of appetite and activity I could only sleep! After 3 continuous days of no food no motion no activity just continuous sleep interrupted by sneezing or coughing or both! Then by a miracle all alone was able to leave my bed, stand up and I really felt what God said:-
If we step back and take a look, 2 countries were going through elections at the same time. We had just recently the Parliamentary elections in Egypt. Meanwhile, on the other side of the world in Canada, they were holding the voting and 11 week campaign for Prime Minister Elections. I want to take a moment and compare how unbelievably different these two nations participated in this democratic right.
The majority of the Egyptian people decided not to participate in the House of Representatives elections. They don’t just vote, but they vote for those whom are well known. The elite may do this to please the governors. The candidates didn’t exert a lot of effort to present themselves to the people. The president didn’t urge the people to participate, but invited them to do through formal speech that didn’t tough the people like improvising. He wasn’t excited during the speech unlike the first time when he urged the people to demonstrate on July 2013. He has not improvised even during the opening of the New Suez Canal Project.
On June 8th, 2014, the Egyptians elected Field Marshal Abdel Fattah al-Sisi as the first president after the revolution of June 30. He was elected by more than 22 million Egyptians. Since he took office under very difficult circumstances, he worked very hard to restore the Egyptian impact on the international level. He visited several countries around the world to teach them about what happened at the revolution of June 30 after Egypt got rid of the religious fascism that ruled Egypt for a while.
Two years have passed after the revolution of June 30, and 16 months since General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi took power in Egypt. Yet, with the approach of the Parliamentary election, I find myself for the first time in my life not interested in them. I have always participated in the elections and encouraged the others to participate even when I traveled to Paris. However, this time I don’t really care! I don’t want to know about the candidates or the schedule of the elections. I have no desire to participate or encourage the others to participate.
ISIS may be behind Ankara bombings and not Erdogan himself. Those who love power may do more than this in order to protect this power. However, it’s painful to see people in Turkey suffering like we did and still do. I pray to God that their suffering comes to an end. I believe ISIS behind such bombings though Erdogan supported them all the way. He gave them weapons and provided medical care for their fighters. Yet, they paid him back by killing his people. Maybe he encouraged them to do so for some reason, or they may betrayed him after the Russian bear attacked them using his new weapons.
I feel really embarrassed and never thought of a day I would have to ask my readers –if I do have any followers- to excuse me as I'm unable to write or concentrate on the subject I was planning to write about it and it is so vital as elections are being closer by the minute, just few hours ago our president was speaking about it!
Last week there was a lot of statements made by the Al-Nour Party proving that without a doubt, that they are a religious party, not a secular one. The Al-Nour party proclaimed that they would allow Copts to be candidates under their reign just because they want to respect the law. This means that in their own belief they don’t think that the Copts are citizens, or that they have the same rights. The Al-Nour Party confirmed that Copts are not considered citizens and they are just doing them a favor by putting them in their elections list. However, I can say that many Copts are the reason of giving Al-Nour party the chance to withdraw their rights and consider it as a favor.
October War was not only a military victory against Israel, but also a consecration of national unity between Muslims and Christians. The war revealed sacrifice, love and ingenuity of the Egyptians. This war integrated love of homeland and religion. This homeland cares indeed for all Egyptians no matter what their religion is. The list of the martyrs includes names of Coptic Christens as well as Muslims.
