As I expected 25th of January come and gone and people stood and still standing people died and die been assaulted and still and neither Dr. Morsy resigned nor his regime gone but staying in a fierce stubbornness trying to impose their views and making all kind of excises.
Egypt stands today on the brink of complete collapse it has not witnessed in the darkest moments of its modern history. It does not appear on the horizon likely clear out of the current political impasse after President Mohamed Morsi had abandoned his neutral position as a president of the Republic and transformed the political struggle to bone-crushing battle between him as a representative of the Muslim Brotherhood and other national powers.
I was thinking about Egypt, and how may I describe its situation now. I found that we live at what we may call “the time of thuggery”
Egypt was turned upside down after Netherlands had granted asylum for the prosecuted Coptic Christians in Egypt. It was a great chance for many anti-Copts politicians, journalists or Islamists to attack the Copts and accuse them of treason as well as defaming Egypt. Many public figures have condemned asylum seekers claiming that Egypt has no racial discrimination at all, and said that Netherlands is trying to interfere in the Egyptian internal affairs, affecting its national solidarity badly!
Ignoring women rights in Egypt for long years is a serious crime. Keep on doing the same thing today is an attempt to return to the days of retardations, ignorance and darkness. Egyptian women have participated in many national movements and revolutions. Including the revolution of 1919 and January 25.
I’m still away from Egypt but my heart and thoughts are always there, I noticed lately continuous threats of the forthcoming revolution on the second anniversary of the revolution that took ex-president off power! I wondered and still wondering about this TIMED REVOLUTION!
712 days have passed since January 2011 setback, during which many creatures have appeared and disappeared from the Egyptian society according to the new reality of the community. This setback is definitely leading us, especially the poor, to the great due fall as they support their killer.

Public transportation in Egypt is a good place to chat with people you don’t know, learn more about their lives, and even to fight with them. Couple of days ago, I took the bus. Suddenly, I heard some people arguing about losing Sinai for the
Many obstacles encounter our life. Therefore, we repeat at each mass saying: Manage our life as deemed fit! Will God manage our life as deemed fit even if we don't have a good relationship with Him? The answer is: Yes
Quota is a fixed share that must be received, and the Coptic quota is a fixed share for the Coptic Christians in Egypt given during the elections to ensure a pretty fair representative for them in the parliament. Countries that enjoy democracy don't need such exceptional procedures
In my open letter to the world last week I mentioned Iran and Qatar militants that the empowered president Morsy secretly assigned to protect his regime. Let us briefly review what this means. In 1939, diplomatic
Christmas always brings joy and happiness. However we've never imagined it may being such pain, We know that Christ Himself said: “Very truly I tell you, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy. A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world. (John 16:20-21)
Yesterday, I received a researcher at the American University in Cairo who is specialized in political sociology. She interviewed me, as an Editor-In-Chief of the biggest electronic newspapers interested in the Coptic issue. She asked many questions about the social conditions in Egypt after the revolution of January 25, 2011, especially concerning the Coptic minority. I admit she was well-informed about the Coptic issue more than most journalists interested in the same issue.
Mohammed Gohar, journalist and Chairman of the Board of Directors at Cairo Sat, was honored by St. Paul charity in Montreal for protecting Father Metias Nasr as well as 16 Coptic Christians from the attacks of the military police post Maspero massacre in October 2011.
Inspired by the great article of El Gammal Great but will Obama listen?? I doubt it I would love to send as well an open letter to the WORLD not just Obama as it seems to me the Obama administration had been occupied by Muslim Brotherhood or its supporters starting with the personal secretary of Mrs. Clinton a Muslim Sisterhood member and many more. I do understand in this free civilised world equal chances are given to people regardless of their colour, ethnicity or religion (which unfortunately is not the case in Egypt) and some MB or its supporters could infiltrate in the administration of any country that is of no threat at that moment but as time passes it becomes an obvious WORLD SPRING not just ARAB SPRING as Mrs Clinton said.
A word of honor, I miss this awesome expression very much nowadays, and throughout our daily life in Egypt. It's no longer respected by many people including the government or the presidency.
Whatever happened at each religious feast, I used to feel so happy. This wasn't because of nice food or new clothes, but rather the hope in a better life that comes with a new feast.
It’s Sunday again and I have to write but like most if not all Egyptians I feel empty depressed and no desire to talk it is the solitude I usually hide in it when nothing around me works.
While working as an engineer in Switzerland, I met with a French colleague who was raised in Algeria
Punishment and reward are critical in order to correct the behavior of human beings. Furthermore, the environment and natural laws have to be respected; otherwise we’re going to suffer a lot.
