Recently, youth leaders and ambassadors in Egypt had the pleasure of meeting with Sisi for a conference in Sharm El Sheikh. Topics of discussion included imprisoned youth under the Sisi administration, poverty and the looming threat of yet another revolution that seems closer than comfortable. Social media has been exploding with the idea of another revolution soon to materialize. My questions is, was this conference an attempt for Sisi to try to salvage the image he has with the youth? Does he actually care about the concerns that were brought up during the conference? Furthermore, with this so-called mass protest less than two weeks away, was this just a monumental waste of time since the protests are still going to happen anyways, with the leaders all being the youth of Egypt?

As the economic situation in Egypt is getting really bad and among the increasing prices and unemployment, Egypt’s government announced to offer investors and small farmer around 500,000 feddans, as part of the country’s mega project to reclaim one million and half feddans. This project that should increase the Egyptian agriculture land by 20% may be able to solve many problems in Egypt like the unemployment and traffic by moving millions of people away from the main cities, and most importantly will provide food for the Egyptians as alternative for importing.

I'm writing this message to the great hero who saved Egypt from the most dangerous terrorist organization in the world, and maintained the identity of Egypt, and saved Egypt from the fate of Syria, Libya, Yemen and Iraq. This leader has apparently changed the history of Egypt and the world. I realize the great challenges and pressures facing the president from inside and outside Egypt. The Muslim Brotherhood, the terrorist group and its allies from the Salafists and all terrorist groups, are working to make you fail. They provoke crises that affect your popularity and receive support from greedy merchants and failing bribed supervisory bodies.

The Salafi preacher Sheikh Mohamed Hassan mourned the Egyptian soldiers who martyred in Sinai assuring that blood of Muslims is Haram! He resorted to the Prophetic tradition that assures that blood, property and household of Muslims are haram. He prayed to God to accept the souls of our soldiers as martyrs and console their families and protect Egypt from evil. I ask Sheikh Hassan who always incite discrimination: is only the blood of the Muslims haram, and that of the Christians is ok to be shed! Come on! It’s clear that nobody can differentiate between the bloods that are shed on the ground. You can’t tell whether it belongs to a Muslim or Christian soldier! This blood belongs to the homeland that we are willing to sacrifice our souls to protect it.

A hungry revolution won’t happen in our blessed Egypt though many people are planning to in November 11, 2016; however, they will fail indeed. Egyptian people are united with its police and army against those trying to divide and destroy Egypt. Let those traitors and corrupted people regret when their schemes fail. Enemies of Egypt inside and outside are predicting it will suffer soon from a revolution of the hungry, which I believe is but a part of a scheme to divide the religion and destroy Egypt. Love and unity of the Egyptian people is a great barrier before such evil scheme. In fact, God has granted the Egyptian people such unity of the people, the police and army. Such campaign is unfortunately supported by Egyptian media and activists on social media.

Back to the Egyptian Traditions that I missed so much bu how could I write the article without a Laptop or a Computer? Moreover; how would I send it without Internet? Any way this brief forced vacation was an opportunity to renew my views and hear other opinions one of them was an old old Egyptian Tradition that any problem Egypt faces is the Israeli-American plot! I fed up with this excuse that I always heard rather than solving that problem!

Egypt was knwon long time that it is one of the most countries produce sugar, however, the shortge in sugar supply lately shows the turndown happened in this industry. The main peoblem in this crisis from my view is that the government failed to even talk about this problem and explain the causes and the options to solve it.

Cairo University, one of Egypt’s top universities, finally realized that developing education should be reflected on developing minds, and that resisting retardation comes with resisting discrimination. This was revealed with a decision by Cairo University’s President Gaber Nassar to abolish religious identity from all official paper work. In fact, the Egyptian constitution has been talking for long time about freedom of religion and equality among citizens, but has always supported discrimination among citizens based on religion with the ‘religious identity’ field from Egyptian national identity cards.

The Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos won Nobel Prize for his role to end five decades of war in his country. Santos was awarded the prize "for his resolute efforts to bring the country's more than 50-year-long civil war to an end" He was able to hold a peace treaty that may lead to unite Colombia once again. He decided to follow his humanity rather than his previous thoughts. Santos is trying to convince his people and even his opponents, including the previous Colombian president to accept the peace treaty that should bless Colombia with a long period of peace.

The economic situation in Egypt is leading to deteriorating living conditions of the citizens The failure of the government is bringing a revolution of hunger even closer. The Egyptian citizens are suffering on daily basis from increasing prices, bad and expensive education, and health problems. The situation is far from stability and the future is dark. It looks like there is an intention to make the citizens suffer forever.

Official page of the spokesman of the Coptic Orthodox Church mentioned nothing about the martyrs of Maspero at the fifth anniversary of their martyrdom. Moreover, Pope Tawadros has not mentioned them in his weekly sermon.

Every time the media announce that President Sisi will go to visit a certain place, I see all cleaning starting to be the best place in the world at that time. Having said that, without these visits none of these villages will improve or have the minimum service that any village should have, furthermore, we will see garbage everywhere and careless everywhere as long as there is no announcement that Mr. President will visit that place soon.

Several articles on the internet claim that Israel has won the war of October 1973, but the truth is that Israel had much more losses in the war that it can’t be called a victorious after all. One of the articles that claims Israel has won said that the use of intelligence massively benefited the Israelis, and that the Arab nations did not fight as one unit as their command structure was not unified and each fighting unit (in the Sinai and the Golan Heights) acted as individual units. It added that with up to nine different nationalities involved on the Arab side, mere co-ordination would have been extremely difficult. It also claims that the Israelis had to work to one simple equation: if they lost, the state of Israel would cease to exist. Therefore, for Israel it was a fight to the finish – literally “death or glory”

As the president of the Commission on Human Rights in the Egyptian Parliament, I was aiming to apply human rights standards of the real sense. I had many clashes with the government that led me to resign of such presidency. I hope that such situation will change, and there will be real intentions to apply human rights in Egypt. Yet, I advise the next president of the commission on Human Rights in the Egyptian Parliament not to be fooled by slogans that the state insists on applying human rights as acknowledging a problem first is mandatory to solve it.

She has been selected in the list of the most 100 influential women in the Canadian British Columbia. She was the dean of the Faculty of Applied Science at the University of British Columbia in 2010, which is the third best Canadian university.

Coptic youth are debating over the national and political role in the Coptic Orthodox Church. They realize indeed that the role of their church in building the nation and its participation in all Egyptian revolutions. Moreover, the Coptic Orthodox Church gives great concern to the nation. Its belonging to Egypt is sometimes considered before its faith. The Coptic church is known for belonging to the nation and willing to sacrifice for it. Belonging now means to care for the nation without supporting a certain party or ideology. When people fight a common enemy, the war becomes a national duty just like facing terrorism in all its forms. Many young people don’t realize the national role of the Coptic church. There are almost five generations do not know that the Coptic church experienced democratic struggle for long time

Shimon Peres died of 93 years old he was awarded Nobel Peace prize -I wander HOW- and a lot of world top politicians will assist in his funeral including reps from Egypt! LEADER ARAFAT & ISREALI FM PERES REACH AGREEMENT ON PALESTINIAN … Shimon Peres was born August 2, 1923 in Weinlawa, Poland, (now Vishniev, Belarus). His family was committed to Zionism and as anti-Semitic violence escalated in central Europe in the 1930s, they migrated to then British-controlled Palestine when Shimon was 11. His family members who remained in Europe were murdered by the Nazis.

Lately the former NDB member Ahmad Ezz who was one of the reason that 25th revolution sparked, wrote an article calling for being optimistic for the future. I was curious to read his article to explore what he will say and why especially at this time.

The dream of immigration has always been a dream for young people in Egypt. This dream becomes more intense with the deteriorated economy and increasing prices. The migrants pay a huge price estimated at 50.000 LE in order to reach Europe, but the price sometimes is their lives. Last week, a boat carrying almost 600 people capsized off Egypt's coast, killing at least 204, in the latest disaster among migrants trying to reach Europe. I understand that those young people are despite enough to do so, but giving the possibility that one may lose his life as well as the nest egg may force him or her to search for alternatives.

President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi returned home after his visit to New York. The church has taken the right decision to support the president, and paid the price for such support, which will be forgotten soon, just like they forgot about aunt Sauad, the Coptic lady that was stripped nude in the streets of Minya. In fact, this was not the first sectarian attack against the Copts and won’t be the last. The Copts are still suffering after they offered many sacrifices for their homeland hoping for better future, and a civil democratic state with a decent constitution.

The Egyptian media has failed several times to cover many events like the visit of the Egyptian president to Hillary Clinton. It only published the statement of the presidency. Egyptian media ignored statement of Hillary Clinton in which she called to release Aya Hijazi and respect freedoms in Egypt. Egyptian media thought that half of truth is more than enough. However, this is failure of our media since it didn’t report the full truth and ignores half of it.
