Usain Bolt is a retired Jamaican sprinter, who is 32 years old. He is the first person to hold both the 100 metres and 200 metres world records since fully automatic time became mandatory. He also holds the world record as a part of the 4 × 100 metres relay.

If you read this article, it means that you have survived the potential attacks against Christians at Christmas celebration. The article is written before the Christmas, and I do not know if the terrorists will succeed in attacking some churches or will police be able to prevent such attacks. You may also be a Muslim reader who reads our electronic newspaper. Anyway, I would like to congratulate you on the feast and the survival as well. I would like also to congratulate the police if succeeded and to offer condolences to the victims if they exist. Dear friends, Egypt is experiencing a critical moment and has to finish all the mega projects and try to survive before another terrorist attack occurs and eliminate our peace and the joy of our achievements. We look at the future with worrisome and at the past with anger. I offer my sincere condolences for the pure Egyptian blood that will be shed as the officials dream to eliminate terrorism with many terrorist institutions supporting your back!

Whoever thinks that the real threat to the Egyptian national security was in targeting Al-Arish airport is missing. The terrorists tried to assassinate the ministers of defense and the interior and they know when the ministers would arrive, but the real threat was in Atfih where the naive accept having dirty streets and corruption in all aspects of their live, but hate to see a cross on a church or hear its bell ring. The real Cornet was not launched in Al-Arish, but rather in the heart of the capital to hit the heart of the homeland. It was launched by negligent officials and lazy clergy who allow extremism and encourage it. I rejoiced when I saw a bridge named after the Christian martyr Abanoub, but my joy was not completed as the mobs attacked the church. The martyr Abanoub sacrificed his life for the homeland as other people incite hatred and destroy that homeland. The real disaster is that such attacks on Coptic Christians and their churches became accepted and supported by customary reconciliation sessions of shame.

Putin s visit to Egypt was part of a Middle Eastern tour through Turkey, Syria and Egypt. He met with Bashar al-Assad and came to end the long-term compromise between Egypt and Russia. President Vladimir Putin said that Egypt will get the latest nuclear technology after Moscow and Cairo signed an agreement for Russia to build a nuclear power plant in Egypt, with Russia extending a loan to Egypt to cover the cost of construction. Putin added during his visit to Cairo that direct flights between Egypt and Moscow will return soon but he didn t say when as if he was trying to secure a decent means of transportation for fans of World Football Cup. It was clear that he is working for the benefit of his country and he was able to get what he wanted.

Sheikh Mohammed Abdul Fattah is the Imam of Al-Rouda mosque in Arish that was attacked terrorists who shot and bombed hundreds of worshippers during Friday prayers. The bomb exploded just as he started his sermon. Sheikh Mohammed was lucky to stay alive and he was saved for being surrounded by many injured people.

I did not understand the logic of those who wanted to assure that Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri decided to stay in the Saudi Arabia by his own will, since the television programs never denies or proves anything. Remember that many people are kidnapped in several countries by their governors and still vote for them. Egyptians have done so for 60 years! Mr. Hariri s appearance on television proves nothing since he is in the hands of the Saudis. If he asks for help on air, would he be safe after all? The situation would be more complicated, and the man realizes that the Saudis will show no mercy even with their dearest friends and family members.

One man was standing on crutches, dancing with one foot with much joy at the victory of Egyptian football team, and the other was crying after the opposing team has scored in his country. They are Egyptians who have not received as much privileges in their country as other citizens in developed countries, but they have another thing in common which is the love of their country. Their slogan is Egypt in the heart. They don’t think about special privileges offered to some Egyptian businessmen that helps them to monopolize the market for a number of strategic goods and enables them to raise their prices and make the people suffer more and more.

I can t deny the efforts of Dr. Tarek Shawki, Minister of Education in Egypt, concerning the problems of education in Egypt. I admit the man has solved the problem of Thanawia Amma, but there is even more important problem that he should care about. There are hundreds of villages without schools and hundreds of schools with too many students and very few teachers. This was followed by a controversial statement by the Egyptian businessman Samieh Sawirous who announced he failed to build 10.000 schools in Egypt thanks to the bureaucracy. Sawirous announced he spent two years trying to get the permits to build the schools, but he failed!

To those who gloat over the natural disaster of Hurricane Erema that hits the United States and destroys many houses and the most expensive tourist resorts, they should know that Libya is one of five countries that are not included on the map of world natural disasters. It should be easy for them and their family to travel to Libya and lead a wonderful safe life away from the wrath of God caused in Florida by the infidelity of the Americans! Let me tell you that many natural disasters have hit Jewish, Christian and Islamic countries, and that has nothing to do with the belief of the majority in these countries. Israel, for instance, was burning few years ago and there were several floods in the Saudi Arabia, the most sacred Islamic country in the world, in addition to the earthquake in Egypt in 1992, which left behind an unforgettable destruction. Turkey, where the Muslim Brotherhood live and think they are the greatest Muslims on earth, has suffered from several earthquakes.

When Egypt was thinking too much how to deal with Qatar and Turkey, which were hostile to Egypt and supporters of terrorism by all means, Egypt was also thinking about the friendly countries of Qatar and Turkey like Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries. This was the position of the Egyptian state which was announced by its foreign ministry. Yet, the Gulf countries didn t accept that Egypt mentioned the involvement of Qatar in on e of the terrorist attacks that targeted a Church in Cairo. Now, as the Gulf countries cut relations with Qatar, Egypt has comfortably withdrawn the ambassador and cut diplomatic ties with Qatar. It s sad that we care for countries that didn t care for us, and it is even sadder that Qatar cares about nothing and decided to return its ambassador to Iran cutting the way before all attempts to reconcile with the Gulf countries that replaced their 13 demands to be only six, but who cares! Qatar could only see its benefits and interests.

The Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st-century Maritime Silk Road, also known as the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is a development strategy proposed by China s paramount leader Xi Jinping that focuses on connectivity and Cooperation between Eurasian countries, primarily the People s Republic of China (PRC), the land-based Silk Road Economic Belt (SREB) and the oceangoing Maritime Silk Road (MSR). The strategy underlines China s push to take a larger role in global affairs, and the desire to coordinate manufacturing capacity with other countries in areas such as steel manufacturing. Ashraf Naguib, CEO of the Asian-Egyptian Association, said that the Silk Road Economic Belt will bring investments to Egypt worth a trillion dollars in ten years, about $ 40 billion annually.

It may be understood to have foreign plans to kill Egyptian people by terrorists who hate Egypt and the Egyptians. However, it is very hard to understand how negligence and corruption are more lethal to the Egyptians than terrorism. The Egyptian blood has been shed on the railroad tracks for a long time, and the officials are playing the blame game with their predecessors. The minister of transportation says that developing the railway will cost 2.5 billion dollars, which is less than any of our brilliant mega projects that is being carried out by the government.

Every time I try not to write about Nasser and what he called a revolution, the supporters of him provoke me to write about his crimes and forge the history. They claim that Nasser was poor, but they fail to explain how he paid to all singers and artists of Egypt who performed in the wedding of his daughter. Some may claim they didn t receive money for such performance, but even this proves his tyranny and dictatorship. Maybe Nasser was so powerful that he didn t need money. They claim he has built factories, but he only nationalized them and failed to run them later. He didn t plan to develop nationalized industries since he was motivated by class hatred that he instilled in the hearts of everybody. Only the Suez Canal was so important to the whole whorld that he couldn t ruin like other nationalized factories. Yet, he failed to develop and waited for Mubarak and al-Sisi to do so.

The New York Times published information on a secret meeting in June 2016 between Junior Donald Trump, and a Russian lawyer who have strong ties to the Kremlin At the beginning he said the meeting was to discuss adoption of poor orphans, but the New York Times said the meeting was about information that hurt Hillary Clinton in the presidential campaign. Soon, Junior Trump said it was really about Hillary which is justified. The meeting was not useful, he added. Moreover, he published emails between him and the Russian lawyer trying to show his good intentions.

It was very painful to hear about the 17 years old Algerian student Fatima Gholam who was killed in car accident in her way to participate in the reading competition organized by UAE. The poor girl had spent 18 hours in her way to the Algerian capital but she died before she achieves her goal. Fatima Gholam will be the name called on 10 libraries in the UAE to remember the girl that can be called martyr of the books. Sheikh Mohamed Bin Rashid, governor of Dubai, expressed his great sorrow for such loss. However, I salute the UAE and its government for giving great concern to reading and culture, not only through competition, but rather by honoring its martyrs.

Hamas claims that its members love and appreciate the suit of the Egyptian army. Therefore, they wear it and keep it in their lockers. this should have nothing to do with the murders of our soldiers and officers who are killed in Sinai every now and then. Yes, they offered us their condolonces that we didn t accept as we don t believe their intentions even if claimed to be good. Their terrorism activities can t be denied in Egypt after several terrorist attacks against the Copts since the overthrown of the Muslim Brotherhood supported by Qatar.

There is no doubt that what Saudi Arabia is doing with Qatar is not a simple cut for diplomatic relations, but an assassination. Saudi Arabia has prevented Qatar from using airspace, water and borders though it almost share all borders with it. On the other hand, Iran is not a very good alternative since it will be a higher cost of transportation. Therefore, Saudi Arabia has given the worst hit, followed by the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. As for the Egyptian decision, it came too late following Egyptian-Saudi agreement during the secret visit by al-Jubeir, the Saudi foreign minister to Egypt, on the night of the Egyptian Gulf turn against Qatar. We still remember what happened in 2015 when Egypt accused Qatar of involvement in the killing of the 21 Christians in Libya, and terrorism in Sinai and Libya. At that time, members of the Gulf Cooperation Council refused the Egyptian statements and forced Egypt to withdraw its accusations.

The summit currently held in the Saudi Arabia can’t be called the Islamic American summit as not all Muslims are represented in it. The absence of Iran despite the victory of Rohani of the reformist movement makes the summit more of a Sunni. The absent of Iraq and Syria that has strong relations with Iran and its Shiite doctrine proves it is a Sunni summit. Iraq has a Sunni and Shiite government which raises questions about the loyalty of Iraq in case of a war between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Saudi Arabia and Bahrain are two countries with a Shiite people, which makes a war with Iran very confusing for those people who will have to choose between belonging to their homeland or their doctrine? There should be no absolute conflict between the homeland and the sect, but the warlords are trading on this.

Today, is the sixty-ninth anniversary of the setback of the Arabs. The Lebanese, Syrian, Jordanian and Egyptian armies joined together against the Israeli army, but they were defeated. The four armies fought against one army for Palestine, but they lost and failed to destroy the Zionist entity as they claimed. Israel won more lands than before the war, and Egypt, without the treaty of 36 with Britain, would have lost the Suez channel to Israel. The Palestine crisis began with the Partition Plan of November 1947, and ended in March 1949, when the last Arab country signed truce agreements with the so-called Zionist enemy and Zionist gangs! The Arabs underestimated the Israeli army and they lost. They were many, but had less efficiency. The Israeli soldiers had participated in the Second World War, as its soldiers were fighters in Allied armies.

Christians of Egypt owe their steadfast faith to one of the youngest apostles of Jesus Christ, the Saint Mark the Apostle who came from faraway lands to Alexandria until his shoes were dilapidated. As the Egyptian cobbler was fixing St. Mark’s shoes, he was injured and called on the one God to save him. St. Mark decided to introduce him to Christian faith. St. Mark started to spread Christianity in Alexandria to face the wrath of the pagans and the Romans.

She added that several meetings were held with the investors to monitor their needs. Moreover, a mega project will be held in Upper Egypt funded by a World Bank loan of $ 500 million. The first installment will be 125 million dollars to improve the living conditions of Upper Egypt.
