It seems that Egypt is facing real challenges in many issues, Libya from one side and Ethiopia from another side, however, in my opinion, the Ethiopian issue is more serious and is a real threat to all Egyptians. We need to greet Egypt for the diplomatic efforts that have been done so far. Egypt has exhausted all means to convince Ethiopia to have agreement with Egypt and Sudan before starting in running the “ Nahda Dam”.

People tend to refuse any advice other people try to introduce to them and think they know everything, and they are adults enough to get advice from anyone. While Covid19 increases drastically in Egypt and the number of deaths and infected people increase every day, we see a lot of Egyptian not taking the disease seriously enough and they are still insisting in not practicing social distancing or be cautious to not group with families or friends.

The visit that President Trump made to the church beside the white house while the army beside him reminded us of what we see in the middle east. A president with the army means that the army is going into politics and that s very dangerous at least for the US. It was a new scene for the US to resort to the army to show power beside the president although we know that the army in the US is not involved in Politics. I read a statement to general Milley who appeared with Trump admitting that appearing with Trump was a mistake which is a good gesture.

After the death of George Floyd in US the demonstration erupted everywhere in US asking for justice and in return the US started to threaten the people by saying that dogs are waiting demonstrator who will get in to the white house. This statement from president Trump reminded me of presidents in the middle east during the Arab spring when there were threatening their citizens if the approached their palace.

I read recently that Covid 19 lead to death of about 19 Doctors from “Elmoneera hospital” and can t deny that once I read that I got scared of the level of cautious and measurements that ministry health adopt. Its not fair that Doctors in hospital to die because lacking protocol or measurements that provide the minimum protection to front line doctors and nurses who are the most vulnerable people in this crises.

Father and bishop Rewis died last week and I didn t know much about his history but I saw and listened to him many times. Bishop Rewis was general bishop not a bishop of a certain diocese and he always was refusing to be responsible for the diocese. I don t want to talk too much about his history, but I want to mention what I have witnessed with my eyes and with my ears. Bishop Rewis was always in “Asrriat Al-Rehan” church and I get used to going there especially in St. Mary fast.

While we are all busy following up the news about Coronavirus and the number of infected people and the number of deaths every day, there are many things we read and pass on it although it expresses a big concern of how things are going in Egypt in terms of human rights situation. Lately the young director “Shady Habash”, in the prison and Egypt s prosecutor-general said that young Egyptian filmmaker Shady Habash died in prison due to alcohol poisoning after he drank a sanitizing solution he thought was water as Al-Ahram news paper said.

Sometimes you need to learn from others especially those who are simple and not complicated. Lately my sister was telling me a story about an old simple lady in upper Egypt who goes every day in front of the church and prays. I was just contemplating this story and asking myself how many people thought about this idea. We all may be thought to go to get groceries and make sure that we have enough for months, we all make sure that we do our work and all necessary staff, however, how many of us thought to go and just pray in front of the church a simple prayer.

Everyday we read about theories that announce the end of America as we are in a war against America not against “Covid19”. People still don t feel that we are facing a serious disease and instead to focus on fighting this pandemic we started to analyze what s after Covid19. People have the right to analyze the future after Covid 19 but not to wish and dream for America to die after this pandemic. It s well known that after any pandemic there are a lot of events that could happen such as famine, wars or changing regimes, however, this doesn t apply only to America but to each country.

With whats going on right now and everyone is quarantined at home, people have to seize this opportunity to think about others and look backward of who you should ask about and you didn t from long ago. While we are celebrating resurrection, we need to know that resurrection not only to celebrate that Christ raised from the dead but also to celebrate the chance to raise ourselves from any weakness we face or suffer from.

The whole world now has nothing to talk about except opening the economy, from what I read about different pandemic in the past that a lot of countries rushed to open the economy and that caused a lot of death to happen more than before. For Example, when the Spanish flu started, many states in the US rushed to open the economy and unfortunately that caused more death than the benefits people get from opening it.

After this pandemic hit Egypt, the main concern now is the irregular workers who don t have any back up plan to feed their families. Unfortunately, Egypt doesn t have any plan for such people and they will suffer either from hunger because they don t have any other source of income or they will suffer from threats of being sick because they have to leave their homes and work to feed their families.

While everyone was busy and couldn t find a minute to set a lone and enjoy the moment without being rushed to do something whatever this thing is work, play, watch TV, Reading, Covid19, give people another aspect of life that was not available before. Covid19, gave all people the chance to set a lone, some people call it boring and some other people call free time, however, some other people find it a great chance to set a lone and enjoy the moment of not being rushed or must run from place to place to finish something.

The world nowadays is panicking about Coronavirus and trying to take cautious measures and impose emergency around the country, however, Egypt, unfortunately is not taking serious measures to prevent this disease from spreading. For example, the government announced closure of coffee shops and restaurants from 7pm to 6 am which means that restaurants and coffee shops will work for almost 12 hours a day and in my opinion that is very long hours for the seriousness of this disease.

While coronavirus is spreading like an enemy everywhere, its time for all people to show their love and sympathy with others who are infected or scared to get this fatal virus. The life taught us to learn from our mistakes and to not repeat them especially the tough one, sometimes disasters comes to review ourselves and our priorities we are taking in this life.

With Coronavirus spreading everywhere as an invisible enemy, all countries have to co-operate in their best interest to find a solution to this disease who killed thousands and is expecting to kill more in the coming days. When I see and read the news, I see some accusations here and there about who caused the virus to spread, especially between US and China and I don’t think this is the right time to spread the accusations.

Recently another Sheikh released one of the ugliest statements trying to harass one of the purest people who devoted his life to cure children and establish centers in Egypt to cure people who have heart problems. I will not mention the person s name because he doesn t worth my time to waste in writing about him, but I will mention who he meant in his statement and as all knew that he meant Professor DR. Magdy Yacoob. That person tried to distract people from what Dr. Magdy Yacoob is doing to pay attention to himself because he is a failure, and no one remembers who he is and even what he is doing.

Coronovirus not just spreading fears about health issues and possibilities for death but also spreading fears and worries about the impact of this virus on the global economy especially that this virus mainly appeared in one of the biggest economies in the world which is China. Coronovirus already started to have a big impact on the market not just in Egypt and the middle east but the whole world including the American market.

Love is a nice word to say but it s a hard act to practice. You can find a lot of people talking about love and how it s important and that we can t live without love but unfortunately we don t see them practice this love in their life. Love her not necessary to the wife only but to the family and to others. On this day we all wish to have someone to love and be loved but if we have this one sometimes we become carless to take care of it.

With what s going around in Syria, Iran , Iraq, is it possible to see an end to this tunnel. Unfortunately, Turkey is going on its own way to destroy Syria in the name of Kurdish people. Russia is so burdened that Turkey bought a lot of weapons from it and it s a good market for Russian weapons. Iran is involved in many conflicts in the region and can t leave these countries after all what Iran did.

Building a future is not something easy or an easy process. A person has to evaluate his abilities and try to see how he can achieve his goals using these capabilities. The same thing for any country, any country must set goals based on its capabilities and the abilities of their people. Unfortunately, with whats going around the world right now from wars and chaos, countries exhaust their resources not in building futures but on contrary in running futures for the coming generation.
