The monastery of Wadi Rayan lies in the desert of Fayoum, and was one of the most famous monastic gatherings in Egyptian in the fourth century. It was inhabited until the end of the tenth century. For different reasons, the monks left it until Father Matta el-Miskin restored the monastic life there in 1960.

On March 15, 2015, the international political and economic communities announced their support and recognition to president Abdul Fattah al-Sisi. These communities used to consider the Egyptian revolution in June 30 a military coup. Now, they know that it’s a pure revolution against terrorists occupying the presidential palace and working against their own nation. This certification and accreditation of the international community and all the countries that used to name our revolution a military coup. Yet, with the great patriotism and work of President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi who implemented dozens of projects including infrastructure work and the giant international project of the new Suez Canal. He held hundreds of meetings attended several conferences and traveled

I start today’s article wishing again each and every mother a happy Mother’s Day this was in England –UK- and most of European countries the 2nd Sunday in Mars –this year the 15th of Mars- and happens to be in Egypt on 21st of Mars every year I have no recollection when Americans honour the woman of every family that when she’s dead her children become orphans! True when the father in any family dies too his children become orphans as well, but how many child where denied by their fathers? They could never be denied by their mother! Mothers are so special that even the land you are born in it becomes your “Mother Land or Mother Country”! So to this special woman called Mother I offer my best wishes and respects.

Ever wonder how much the President of each country makes? If you knew their salary, do you think your opinion of them would change? An article was recently released outlining the top salaries of prime ministers and presidents across the globe. No big surprise, Sisi did not make it. But the numbers that were revealed, however, were somewhat shocking, and not in a bad way. The US had the second highest pay rate for Obama, Stephen Harper of Canada coming in third. Who had the first? Singapore! Surprising right? I didn't see that coming. The reason I am mentioning salaries is because how do you quantify how much a leader should make? America's Obama makes $400,000 USD a year. When you think about it, it's not that much. Surgeons make up to $700,000 in the West. If money is not that motivating factor, than what pushes our leaders to do the best they can? When you think about Sisi, and all the accomplishments he's made, and all the work his group has put in to trying to restructure Egypt, what's it all worth? 45,000 Egyptian pounds a month? Is that too much? Is that too little? Take also into consideration, back in January he said he would donate half of that to the betterment of the economy.

In his famous Arabic song, Salah Jaheen wrote that girls are equal to boys. However, I claim now that girls are much better than boys.Boys in our society drop their classes and escape his school in order to play play station, football or smoke cannabis with his friends? Many boys are involved in sexual harassment in Egyptian streets and are but couch potato in their homes. Moreover, many of them fail in school and fail to be reliable in their homes as well.

Economic Conference in Sharm El Sheikh was a great challenge for the Egyptians, but came also as savior to our country. Our enemies were hoping that it will render great failure, but the conference achieved great success that exceeded all expectations. Huge multitudes attended the conference that was well-secured and organized proving that Egypt has restored its power and important role in the region.

The extremists in Egypt are working hard to turn Egypt into a religious Wahhabi state with the help of the Egyptian security forces, which stretched their hands to them in order to prevent building churches and turn the existing ones into mosques. Therefore, they ordered that the church of Samalout won't be allowed to be rebuilt in case of demolition for any reason. This was one of their conditions to allow building the church. The Mufti of the Saudi Arabia Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah Al-Sheikh days ago, in which he has ordered that all churches in the Arabian Peninsula should be demolished.

I watched the interview of Governor of Alexandria with Mona El-Shazly which introduced a pretty unique Egyptian model of governors and men to me. Mr. Hani Meseiri belongs to a great family and proves he appreciates his wife unlike many men in our society. He also appreciates his work and does his best to make great results. He may have been mistaken to allow his wife to interfere in his work this way, and also mistaken to give excuse to such participation. However, he took the right decision to invite his opponents to build Alexandria together and achieve good results.

As I write this article, the third and final day of the economic conference hosted at Sharm El-Sheikh is on. I can not write and follow the latest news so my comments mostly are on my prior days’ observations. Fears turned to JOY Over the years for some unknown reason to me Friday the 13th means BAD LUCK, I recall a full series of movies long time ago by the same name “Friday the 13th” I saw them all over and over again on Halloween times TV would broadcast them over and over with other scary movies but Friday the 13th was the No. 1 always!

I saw a picture on Facebook the other day that was really quite hilarious. I had all the leaders of Egypt and put their picture there. When it came to the Morsi Era, there was a picture of a monkey with sunglasses. I find it exceptionally funny, because whoever depicted Morsi as a monkey, was spot on in terms of the contribution he made to our country. Why am I talking about a picture of Morsi? What's the significance. The world saw Morsi as an animal that had no serious positive impact on the economy, political system, society or any other means. He was a president that was in every way mocked for all the ridiculous things he said.

I had a discussion in one of the forums that discuss the conditions and circumstances of Egypt, in which different trends and groups come together. They were talking about the dog that was slain in Haram, Qaliobia. One of the attendees denounced the crime wishing to punish the criminals who tortured and killed the poor dog. He also explained that Islam strongly condemn such practices. I started my speech by a question: Can we forgive those young people for their crime in order to save their future? They started attacking my idea claiming that the Egyptian society denounce the crime and the criminals must pay for their crime.

There is a link between the opening of the Rafah crossing and the terrorist operations, which coincides with the opening of the borders. There were always big terrorist attacks every time after the open of the crossing. How do the rulers of Egypt think? How did they decide to open the crossing at the time our soldiers are being killed every now and then? Terrorism always comes from Gaza, but we suddenly decide to import some more through the borders.

In my articles, I try to point out to many diseases afflicting the homeland. The first crisis I want to talk about is the escape of 18 monkey from veterinary hospital in Nasr City! This comes after the great interest of TV talk shows about the killing of a dog. We may find several demonstrations demanding freedom for the monkeys. Moreover, several political symbols should belong to those monkeys as well. Once again, the tea kettle appears as main criminal in burning a huge hall of Conference Hall in Nasr City. It's completely nonsense to find an official accusing a tea kettle of burning huge hall like the Conference Hall in Nasr City. They have to say that it was make in Qatar or Turkey for better storyline.

Rules of the Supreme Constitutional Court and Administrative Justice keeps exposing sins of the Egyptian Constitution written by the fifty members committee. Now, we should doubt all settled articles of this constitution since the members were not constitutional experts.Thus, we should pay for such big mistake every now and then. The recent problem caused by this constitution is allowing the Egyptians with dual citizenship to be nominated in the parliamentary elections. It’s known that those who get the American citizenship should take the oath of allegiance to the US.

Not too sure if I should be happy or upset when the constitutional court decides that preventing citizens of dual nationality from their right to be candidates is unconstitutional! In fact I’m a dual nationality citizen and very loyal to both nations, thanks God they are not in a dispute of any kind because I really can not imagine taking the side of either against the other! But thanks God again I do not intend to become a parliamentarian neither become a candidate, in fact my experiences with politicians in any country I lived in it from France to Antigua, Britain or Greece, even USA –as a tourist who has a family there- it was very similar, promises upon elections never become reality when politicians won the elections!

I believe we are living in political hassle. We wake up everyday to find a new disaster that's not just bombs exploding, but also in a political meaning. The court last week declared that the election law is unconstitutional and 2 days after that incident, the court declared that the law that prevents expatriates from being a member in parliament is also unconstitutional.

In spite of the extreme grief over the martyrdom of the 21 Egyptian Copts in Libya, we are so happy for them. They were victims of both poverty and terrorism. They had only pain in their lives, but gain glory in heaven and on earth. They became glorious martyrs in our church and many churches should be built on their holy names. Now, we should remember them forever as great martyrs in our church who got the better life in heaven. Their poverty should be turned into riches, and their simple lives should teach many people all over the world. Even the Egyptian state, which has never avenged the murder of her citizens in smiler attacks, has sent fighters to avenge their murder in Libya. Their simple houses should be visited by millions of people who want to take their blessings.

People who talk about reconciliation with the terrorist organizations like the Muslim Brotherhood think they are more powerful than the state. Indeed, they are not since there are two regimes currently in Egyptian prisons. Moreover, the Egyptian people won’t accept to go back in time to the days before June 30, 2013. The fact is that the Muslim Brotherhood was proven a terrorist organization and reconciliation with them may be considered a victory in their eyes, and should encourage them to continue their terrorist attacks. Reconciliation invitations may lead to consider the leaders of the terrorist organization not guilty, even if they are. This should lead consequently to the recognition of what they claim as military coup, which should turn all facts upside down.

The Supreme Constitutional Court (SCC) ruled the Electoral Districts Law unconstitutional, resulting in the postponement of parliamentary elections until the questioned law is amended. The court refused other appeals on the law defining political rights issued ahead of the presidential elections last May, and the law organizing the establishment of the parliament. The Electoral Districts Law was issued by President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi last December, and includes two sections. Each divides the country into electoral constituencies, according to the two voting systems available: the closed list and the individual list.

As we read the current activities and events in Egypt and the region, we can deduce there are great plans by president Abdul Fattah al-Sisi. It was such a great present by the Russian President Vladimir Putin who gave the Egyptian president a Kalashnikov as a sign of willing to cooperate with Egypt and hold military, strategic and political partnership. Such partnership was put into action after the visit of Egypt’s foreign minister to Russia and the visit of the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of Moscow hours later. Indeed, such partnership has annoyed the hateful American Administration.

Over the past few days I noticed a new wave of RUMOURS as rumours become more and more frequent and obvious lies that Egyptians become aware and make jokes round them! This new wave of rumours is based on a true well known event –a lawyer arrested in a demonstration without permit- well known fact! This lawyer thought his immunity as a lawyer gives him the right to be impolite and curse police officers and irritating them with his behaviours an officer –human being not God- responded to that violently and the lawyer dies! Human error requires investigation and accountability but what was published states:
