Egypt was elected for a five-year term in the 34-member International Law Commission of the UN General Assembly on Friday. Ambassador Amr Abu Atta, Egypt's permanent delegate to the United Nations said that this election reflects international confidence in Egyptian competence and expertise, particularly in the field of international law. 11 candidates from Africa competed for the membership, but the Egyptian candidate Ambassador Hussein Hassouna won 146 votes while he only needed 97. Egypt is getting better relationships with Africa and the world, and therefore, we should stop claiming there is a conspiracy against Egypt and should start working hard as this is the only way to progress. I wish Egypt and its Ambassador Hussein Hassouna the best.

I don’t like revolutions or changing of regimes since the alternative will be no better. However, I was hoping we will have peaceful protests on November 11th to express our rejection of the recent economic measures taken by the Egyptian government including the loans and projects. We have to express our rejection for such political and economical practices. This has not happened and therefore, the government is allowed to move from failure to failure and from crisis to another since it knows that the people will accept those practices and will never object.

Dr. Taleb Refaie, secretary-general of the World Tourism Organization, said that the 104 meeting of the organization was held in Luxor, which is a strong message to tourists from all over the world to come and visit Egypt. He added that he was very impressed by the wonderful view of the Nile River and the nature and history of his country that dates back to 7 thousand years ago.

The name of Egypt’s former finance minister Youssef Boutros-Ghali exists no more on the lists of Interpol wanted names or travel ban lists. This is clear since he traveled to America America and many other countries like Nigeria and Liberia as an economic adviser. In fact, he offered the Egyptian regime several economic advises, but they were not considered by the government giving the increasing economic crisis in Egypt. It looks like the government only needed him to support Egypt to take the IMF loan, which they need more than his valuable advices. The success of this man and many countries that seek his advises proves that we lost this man when he was removed from the office of minister of finance. Unfortunately, our bad economic situation proves this idea.

The Brazilian aircraft took off heading somewhere, but when it arrived, the pilot couldn’t see the airport. They tried to use the radio to determine where they are, but they failed. They could only think that they are very close to the airport. The fuel was gone and they had to have an emergency landing. They found themselves landing over a river in a forest and barely succeeded to land after they lost many lives on board. Patrols searched for the plan and found them more than 1000 kilometer away. They investigated the reason why the aircraft lost her mind and went astray. Investigations showed that the pilot made great mistake and enter the wrong coordinates and destination according to the old system.

Sherif Ismael, Egypt’s Prime Minister, showed in his interview with TV presenter Lamis Hadidi, that he is a dreamer that flees the sad reality to the happy dreams. I know that president al-Sisi said we are taking steps towards the removal of subsidies gradually over five years. Two years ago, we were thinking that the government meant that support to be raised is the energy and food subsidies, but we didn’t expect to raise support for the Egyptian pound and let it fails like that. The traders whom you accused of being conspirators. However, you accept the new prices of Egyptian pound. Moreover, you admit that the increasing prices will increase more and more after the removal of subsidies of fuel.

The Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos won Nobel Prize for his role to end five decades of war in his country. Santos was awarded the prize "for his resolute efforts to bring the country's more than 50-year-long civil war to an end" He was able to hold a peace treaty that may lead to unite Colombia once again. He decided to follow his humanity rather than his previous thoughts. Santos is trying to convince his people and even his opponents, including the previous Colombian president to accept the peace treaty that should bless Colombia with a long period of peace.

She has been selected in the list of the most 100 influential women in the Canadian British Columbia. She was the dean of the Faculty of Applied Science at the University of British Columbia in 2010, which is the third best Canadian university.

The Egyptian media has failed several times to cover many events like the visit of the Egyptian president to Hillary Clinton. It only published the statement of the presidency. Egyptian media ignored statement of Hillary Clinton in which she called to release Aya Hijazi and respect freedoms in Egypt. Egyptian media thought that half of truth is more than enough. However, this is failure of our media since it didn’t report the full truth and ignores half of it.

Eng. Ibrahim Samak (his last name means fishes in Arabic) is a great Egyptian engineer who was Awarded the Federal Cross of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany by the German President, Horst Köhler. The man refused to abandon his Egyptian citizenship and decided to join the scientific Advisory Board of the Egyptian president in order to help his country, and plans to make Egypt the first country in the world solar-powered and makes people produce energy from the panels on top of their homes and sell them to the government.

I don’t talk here about the reaction of the church when choosing to accept the new law of building churches. I’d rather talk about the role of the person or organization that knows how to play politics. In a meeting between this person or organization with the Salafis, they refused the law that was accepted by Abba Paula. Yet, they were told they can manipulate the draft later. After they did, the churches refused it, which strained the atmosphere even more. The same organization held meeting with the church representatives to tell them what happened and to offer a formula of compromise. This was the final law that was passed, but not accepted by the Salafis.

A few years ago, the Paralympic Games were held in the US state of Seattle. 9 disabled people participated in the running race. The participants started to run, but a small one fall down and couldn’t complete the race, thus he started to cry out loud. The rest of the participants stopped to see what is happening. All of a sudden, they looked back and decided to go back and help the little boy.

The political leadership of Egypt does not want her to be a leading country, since it may think that being a leading country is important. The Egyptian presidency is negotiating a new deal of 4 French aircrafts to be added to the 24 aircrafts owned by the presidency. This happens as the Egyptian government is facing financial crises and accepting donations from the poor Egyptians. The 24 aircrafts are worth 3 billion LE and the 4 aircrafts are worth 300 million Euros.

Mr. Khaled Hanafi is the minister of Supplies in Egypt should be called minister of corruption since he defends it and claims it has not prevented us from eating bread! The man gives excuse to the corrupted people to continue their job and steal our money. I know that the minister is not corrupted, but gives excuse to the corruption. In fact, he could only manage since he was supported by the armed forces and the president whom the people do love.

I know it is a scary title to choose, since wars are scary in general. However, not all wars are too bad since some wars are waged against corruption that spread in our life and daily works. In fact, we hope that such war is increasing more and more. The news said that a silo manager was arrested for seizing four million pounds during operations of the receipt of wheat. Regulators have arrested several corrupted people in that regime, which means it is full of corruption. Therefore, I hope they continue that the country may get rid of their corruption.

The Egyptian judiciary closed the case of spying for Qatar. Now, the former Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi was found guilty and was sentenced to death penalty and 85 years in prison. He committed several crimes and was proven guilty of spying after Aljazirah satellite channel has published documents that Morsi had given to Qatar. In fact, we should learn from that case. There is no brotherhood or friendship in politics. Everybody works to achieve his own interests. Qatar is spying on Egypt ignoring its former relationship with it.

The interview between President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi and Mr. Osama Kamal gives an impression that it wasn’t meant to be an interview, but rather a speech to teach the people what they need to know. However, it completely ignored the Egyptian foreign policy, except with a question about the relations with the United States. The president gave a wonderful diplomatic answer that you’ll never find an actual answer. The only information that he gave was he will not follow the footsteps of his predecessor Mubarak. In fact, this is the first time the president criticizes the policy of Mubarak and Tantawi openly. The interviewer didn’t ask about the Egyptian and Turkish-Qatari relations, and how it goes! The president showed superb excellence in the understanding of the requirements of global politics as he was answering the peace initiative with Israel and the French initiative as well.

Dear readers, I will talk in this article about what was not said by the president Abdul Fattah al-Sisi in his recent television interview with Osama Kamal. The president didn’t say how many prisoners in Egypt, and why they are in prison. Have they been arrested for being among the opposition or because they disagree with police or because they refused the wavier of Tiran and Sanafir to the Saudi Arabia?

Mina Thabet is a human rights researcher and activist, but he can’t be a terrorist. He was announced terrorist for hindering the work of the president by opposing him! Yet, he hasn’t broken into the presidential palace or attacked the presidential car. Police arrested him with picture of St. Mary and an old agenda in his possession! He is a researcher that we don’t know what he is searching for. However, being a researcher in our country proves you are a terrorist. Whether you are searching for truth or security you should be a terrorist in the eyes of police. The truth is painful for they think security is useless if not for the regime.

Those who didn’t care for the big fire at the Hall of the Good Shepherd in Shubra corridor and many other places in Egypt will not care as well for the big fire at Alroiei area. I tell you that they caused the fire by their stupidity and negligence. We have seen big fire in Dubai at the New Year's Eve, but there were no human casualties and very limited losses comparing to the fire. They have advanced fire extinguishing systems and were ready to extinguish the fire as if they were expecting it.

I read what was written by a Saudi writer who demanded Egypt to pay thirty-three billion dollars for using the “Saudi islands of Tiran and Snafir”. However the Egyptian government waivered the islands ignoring the bloodshed of the Egyptian soldiers who died to liberate the land, I don’t care if the islands are Egyptian or Saudi, but I was surprised to hear that man demanding Egypt to pay a lot of money for using the islands. In fact, the Egyptian blood is priceless. Yet, it should be known that Egypt has donated money, food, water, medication and security for the poor people in Saudi Arabia.
