In the framework of the "Active Citizens" initiative, organized by the British Council in Aswan, Egypt, 7 countries participated when four blind Egyptian girls talked about their experience within the initiative« a challenging step ».

I do not know if the president will refuse to meet the families of the martyrs until he names the terrorists who carried out the attacks against the Coptic churches on Palm Sunday. However, he may name directors of security and senior officials on charges of complicity by negligence. The truth is that the terrorists would have never succeeded without such negligence and failure. I also remember here the hero of police forces who saved hundreds of Egyptians by sacrificing his blood, namely officer Emad RAkaiby.

Everybody in Egypt is talking about the visit of Egyptian president to America and what will he discuss with the American president. Yet, I believe that Donald Trump will take a different path as he prefers. According to the statements of Stephen Beecroft, the American ambassador in Egypt, and how he sees the relations with Egypt I can tell that the Americans are working hard to strengthen the relations with the Egyptian regime that they appreciate and support.

For two days, El Gouna rally was held with the participation of 10 Egyptian racing teams. El Gouna is one of the most beautiful places in Egypt. Ten Egyptian teams participated carrying the Egyptian flag and preaching safety of Egypt and competed to win the race and no matter who won the race, Egypt was the winner. The Rally of El Gouna is considered the largest SUV race in Egypt, and aims to support tourism industry and proves that Egypt is safe. Its success may encourage the Egyptian government to return the international Pharaohs Rally that has stopped 3 years ago because of the security conditions.

CEA estimates that 90% of products carrying the Egyptian Cotton label are not genuine.

The sheets were manufactured by Welspun India, a global textile company that's a key supplier to many US retailers including Bed Bath & Beyond, Walmart, JCPenney, and Macy's.

I have spoken previously about poverty in Egypt and how the government deal with it by opulence and call the people to austerity. Today, I talk about how some international organizations see Egypt. World Bank data base indicates that the GDP of the Egyptian stock of hard currency reached $ 33.8 billion in 2015, putting Egypt in the 32 place of GDP. (World Development Indicators database, World Bank, 22 July 2016) This means that Egyptians is located in the medium-high income countries. Yet, the poverty in Egypt is because the rich receive the majority of income and are getting richer while the poor are getting poorer.

Nermin Rafik, is the first Egyptian and Arab woman to join the Committee of the International Federation of Wrestling. This came after Egyptian Wrestling Federation nominated an Egyptian woman named Nermin Rafik for membership in the Women's Committee of the International Federation of Wrestling.

The United States has a strong motivation to return a strong and a great country once again after the election of Donald Trump. As a global reaction to the inauguration of Trump, many people demonstrated in America and all over the world, except in the Arab world. However Trump attacked the Muslims and Arab countries, people in these countries believe they don't have the right to choose their own president, what's more for other countries? Therefore, Arab people preferred to stay in their homes and curse those who took away their freedom. Public figures in America hate Trump who thinks he came to liberate America. Trump decided to annul Obama Care and prefers to help the Americans get jobs and pay for their own health insurance instead of waiting for the state to provide it. Trump thinks that five trillion US investments in Mexico and Canada should return to his country.

The cry of Obama in his last speech what was underestimated by Donald Trump marks the transitional period in America. The Americans are divided between supporting Trump and hating his racism. Obama sees America as a great nation, which is true. Yet, he only feels sorry for his family that supported him in his hard time, but he should have been regretting what he did by founding and supporting ISIS. He refused racism against Muslims, but he practiced it against all enemies of their friends, the Muslim Brotherho

Karama libraries « Dignity » is an initiative carried out by «The Arabic Network for Human Rights Information» to create five public libraries in the popular neighborhoods of Cairo to encourage people to read for free. They believe that knowledge and education are key elements to develop countries. Awareness may enable people to learn about their rights and even claim them, but people in over populated areas are not able to read and develop their skills. The government decided to shut down the libraries instead of monitoring them and prevent illegal acts inside them. The government could run them or cooperate with its management to spread the idea all over Egypt. Yet, the government and police prefer to shut down libraries. They don’t really believe people have rights to read and learn for free. They don’t even believe they are key elements to develop Egypt. The government wants to prevent reading in order to keep the people ignorant.

Dr. Ahmed Darwish, head of Development Zone Authority of Suez Canal area, said that negotiations have been held with the Japanese company Toyota to pump investments in the economic are of Suez Canal.

As Google was celebrating 104 years of Doria Shafiq’s birthday, the terrorists were celebrating the suicide attack carried out by the 22 years old Mahmoud Shafiq. The huge gap between the two persons lies not only in time, but also in the way of thinking. Shafiq who struggled against the English occupation and strived to liberate women is different from the young boy who came from Upper Egypt. The woman searched, wrote and struggled, while the man carried out a suicide bombing attack to kill many women and children. The one million dollar question is: how did the young Shafiq and his friends took control over Egypt instead of Doria Shafiq?

The bombing of the Saints Church in Alexandria was not planned by Egyptian police simply because they don’t know how to plan. They only know how to torture and kill their unarmed victims. They do so because they don’t know how to interrogate and follow the perpetrators. Instead, they annoy human rights activists and monitor their accounts on Facebook. The lawyer demanding the rights of Magdy McCain was arrested and sexually harassed while she was blindfolded, and later police called the terrorists cowards! The recent terrorist attack at the Coptic Christen Patriarchate proved police are good-for-nothing. Those who are supposed to protect the churches don’t really believe they are important. In fact, they can’t protect the churches since they can’t even protect themselves. They are failing because of their arrogance, negligence and lack of power.

The Gulf, which I mean in this article, is not the Arabian Gulf, but the Gulf of Suez with the tremendous petroleum discovery of an English company working in the Gulf of Suez. The new oil mount Includes reserves of two hundred and fifty million barrels that should be ready to go very soon. The discovery gives extra hope to the suffering Egyptian economy, and adds to the Egyptian precautions of gas and oil to unprecedented levels. We may not only stop importing gas and oil, but we can also start exporting them.

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.
