1st. I’ll apologise for last week’s article as I had to travel and was up to my neck getting ready to leave Egypt, my beloved country to UK where most of my family lives and I missed a lot being away from them so long! Secondly this title Black Friday is not meant to be for Egypt’s Friday 28th. November 2014, but to my surprise I was told this Black Friday was in UK, I’m not aware if this is a local tradition I never heard of before a memorial Friday that has some meaning in UK or worldwide no idea what so ever!

Yesterday, the Devils Brotherhood - My new synonym for Muslim Brotherhood in brief DB- I repeat the DB and their allies or affiliates or subdivisions published on the net a clip showing the massacre occurred 3-4 weeks ago at Karm Kawadis in Sinai massive explosions filmed from far away then when the second fatal explosion occurred they got the guts -knowing the explosion killed almost everyone- to continue killing the bleeding victims that were still alive! Is this heroism? We did not see a man to man combat, all we see coward traps bombs planned here or there killing innocent people sabotages on electricity supply towers, doctors deliberative attempts to let sick people die just because they are not members of the DB!

Taxi Driver argues and starts to fight back not only in words but physicality too meaning fighting with an officer upon his duty and soon all neighbours, store keepers or passers by join to fight to protect the aggressor who is none but the taxi driver! Few days ago a whole family was grilled to death in their own car, over 17 child going school among their mates in a school bus found their death roasted in the flames of that school bus! Amazingly the school bus driver survived, he jumped off the bus knowing he is about to make an accident, leaving behind the children in the bus to their destiny! And worst, the driver caused this mayhem escaped without a scratch!

Last week I discussed (from my point of view) the word “external” aid and funds on the attack that took place on our armed forces, last Friday the 24th October 2014. Here my point of view means I did not relay on any official resources or public opinions, I just assumed and built my own private scenario and created my own story, based on well known facts or portions of information to build my story. I might with it had touched some true facts or future plans of Egypt’s real enemies, I might as well had gave ideas to those enemies, but for sure this as well should had been true vital warning of future risks our army and police force should seriously take in concentration and open our eyes for more atrocities towards Egyptians who fight for the survival of Egypt.

When over 28 guys. Over 28 young men are blown away in cold blood we can only morn them, but we need a serious review to a lot of our policies, but first let us recap! World wide news networks talked, and estimated that Egyptians Solders are the Number 1 not in force or technique or what so ever, but No. 1 in deaths due to terror attacks!

In a series of History articles I published over the past months some lessons extracted from that recent history, today I take a deeper look in to older history! At school in school days the teacher of history would teach us geography as well in this geography I learned that Middle East was the following countries, west to east:- But over the years those 13 countries expanded to include Bahrain, Emirates and Qatar, then more African countries -non speaking Arabic- were included however this is not the point, but the point is this important the important thing was this historical event upon the the first World War or WWI!

An old movie of golden era in the movie industry called “Cairo 30” was rebroadcast recently, Cairo 30 means Social and political life in Cairo on 1930 that is 16 years short of a century ago! Obviously at 1930 the 1919 revolution was already over but from the dialogue of the casting crew you note a general dismay specially from the youth or undergraduates of universities or high schools! They criticised corruption in palace by the royals, parliament by parties and politicians, all feared the influence of the British occupying forces and authorities that used to dictate policies for the King to follow, Change the ministry cabinet if its head was anti-occupation or non friendly to the British forces and excites the people against them!

Long time ago in the Faculty of Sciences I was told “Each Problem has a SOLUTION”, as my speciality was Mathematics, I knew to get my Muster Degree, and later on my Ph. D. I had to solve an unsolved problem, meaning it was very depressing for me as a student to think I had to solve a problem my teachers who definitely know way more than what I know did not solve!

My due article is coming at a very bad moment I have a lot to say but I do not want to be dis-obedient I’m not the BOSS to decide the policies of the site but I have not received any orders or instructions or even wide lines or margins to follow we, as writers, are free to say what we want in complete freedom, so thank you BOSS or BOSSES of Copts-United and happy birthday wishing you many more to come in love prosperity and keep going from success to success!

Some time two, three or more years ago, I wrote in article of the day an overview of the world “Copt” and how the Greek name of Egypt –Εγηπτως pronounced Egyptos- and Egyptian –Εγηπτιως pronounced Egyptios- it developed from the non Greek speaking people you pronounce words as you hear them so it became Copt meaning Egyptian! Note the origin is Latin, in English –Latin origin- name is exactly Egypt same spelling different pronunciation! Moreover in another Latin origin language French it is still Egypt!

In last week’s article I said: Thanks God I trust the Egyptian Army and above all the wisdom and smartness of their leadership, -I’ll come back to this point later. Well now is the time! Let me first start with a simple fact that is I was exempted from military service so I never really been in the army so I never really lived within solders or seen real army, but I’ve seen like any young person lots of military movies; I know movies is a mixture of reality with imagination but with experience and long life reading facts using your brains properly you can always see reality from imagination and extract facts! First of all I know for sure as a fact I learned over time, not all intelligence officers are totally loyal to their countries, lots of spies were initially intelligent officers in some other country but without loyalty and on the first opportunity they turned their back to their own countries.

Let aside hospitals and the problems that rise to a kidney patient under cleaning device to revive his essentials kidney function then power goes off not knowing even to which level the cleaning reached, what about someone got locked inside the lift? Old style houses and lifts where setup in an open area if it happens the life malfunctioned you could just open the door and if between two levels just jump, or clime down or up nowadays if lucky enough to be able to manually open the door –most doors now function electronically so not a chance to open the door- you will find a wall unless you were lucky and the lift stopped close enough to a level you can crawl out of the lift! I recall the famous Egyptian movie its world by world tile translation was: - Between Sky and Earth...

For the 1st time since 1979 when I left Egypt I write an article feeling really I am in a country, I do not know how to explain my decision to leave Egypt, at the time I felt really down and saw Egypt in its worst place since I was born – worst place comparing with fifties and sixties; but times sowed my way worst that that! I was brutally striped from my position in the academic staff of Cairo University, reason declared health problems, undeclared religious issues; but the problem was I would not be able to resume my higher studies, Master and Ph. D. If I was not a staff member due to lack of qualified academic personnel, so they were available to only staff members; the other reason of seeing future in Egypt so dark, sectarian violence that since Nasser –R.I.P.- died I start seeing it a lot! And the worst night mare was that new Wahabi imported tradition of veiled spreading so fast!

For several hours, ex-minister of interior e.i police, secret service, national security in collaboration with the ministry of defence and secret services; I re-iterate that for several hours ex-minister of interior defended himself towards accusations he’s been in trail for 3 years so far, what attracted my attention was he spent this time telling secrets day by day of the events of January 25, 2011 revolution or what was named revolution. I’m not going to talk about this revolution or not, but the facts that are being slowly unfolded.

Last week’s article had exactly same title added to it “The” that is it was The Trial of the Century; I focused on two things which were: 1. False Accusations of police brutality and killing people upon the 25th January demands. 2. My own testimony confirming what Habib El Adly said about the false accusations was true. As on Wednesday 16th August 2014 the hearings of that trial ended with a memorial last speech -probably- from former president Mubarak that ignited lots of reactions I deem it necessary to answer some questions or remarks about it. Mubarak’s accusations Former president Mubarak was on trial from over 3 years accused of Killing people of Egypt in riot, using his powers for illegal earnings and wasting national income selling Gas to Israel under priced! So far, in the Egyptian criminal law there is no crime called “Corrupting Political Life” or any similar wording accusation or crime to be tried for!

For several hours, ex-minister of interior e.i police, secret service, national security in collaboration with the ministry of defence and secret services; I re-iterate that for several hours ex-minister of interior defended himself towards accusations he’s been in trail for 3 years so far, what attracted my attention was he spent this time telling secrets day by day of the events of January 25, 2011 revolution or what was named revolution. I’m not going to talk about this revolution or not, but the facts that are being slowly unfolded.

First I owe you all an apology I interrupted my series of History to wish Egyptians and the rest of the world a happy feast at the end of the holly month Ramadan it is a Muslim occasion and I’m not Muslim, but we are all Egyptians and most important HUMANS! As a human I share sorrows and happiness with humans happy for their happiness and upset for their miseries this is how I interpret human rights! I had a message to sent to my co-citizens and the rest of the world but due to lots of obstacles on top of them power problems - and no power = no internet therefore I can not even send my semi finished article- therefore I just got the time to send two words wishing people a happy feast!

This article will be available on May 26th. The first day of presidential election most likely will read it afar you had voted or boycotted presidential elections but there would be a second chance the following day the very LAST DAY! I’m not writing this to tell you what to do or advise you to vote for a specific candidate this is against all human laws of freedom of opinion, freedom of choice, and above all your own personal freedom, however I see it necessary to tell Boycotters a few facts before too late. I understand, a lot of today’s youth and young people have never seen true happiness or enjoyed a really happy moment, all their miseries made them loose faith in everything and everyone and bottom line they will trust no candidate to alter their miseries into happiness so they decided to BOYCOT!

As I continue reading History, influenced with a Ramadan Soap Best Friends or precisely world to word translation “Life Friend” pointing to R.I.P. both Nasser and his best mate Amer! I was too young but I still recall some vital events in this period, I recall after the famous 6 hours war on Monday 5th. June 1967, Nasser announcing our defeat on the following Friday 9 June 1967, and stepping down from the presidency sit! I recall how the people of Egypt, rejected the defeat, and decided to stand up with their all time national hero Jamal Abdul Nasser, asking him to stay president and withdraw his resignation! R.I.P. Sadat, and the then National Assembly which become temporarily in power while no president with Nasser’s resignation in effect, they officially requested from Nasser to remain in power as per people demand who come waves and waves in marches from the National Assembly headquarters on Kasr El Eni street really close to where I used to live at the corner of that street with El Tahrir Street, over viewing the famous Tahrir Square which made me see and live many events life upon their happening!

As I keep reading history, I try to learn or understand events, I analyze from my point of view but I do not clam it is error free or above criticism, I welcome any new points of view or alternative ideas. The reason is to learn from previous mistakes to avoid them in the future not to judge or condemn any person. In today’s issue I’ll jump to more recent history, I lived some of its event but was too young to understand what really was going on, I recall the joy of the announcement of the creation of the new born United Arab Republic –Egypt & Syria- history tells me it was created 1957, but I do not really recall that date, I recall as well the sad day of separation and the death of that Union, but I have no recollection of the reasons that lead to it! However, from a recent Ramadan soap that is still going on and cannot be qualified as a historical review or source, I noticed myself historical errors –but it is not my point- I can see several facts about that period, or say the ex president R.I.P. Nasser and his regime first of all decisions were always single person’s decision. Yes, there were meetings and discussions, points of view coming up but no one would defend his point of view, like if he was afraid to upset the decision maker!

As Promised last week this is my 1st Reading History series article that I might interrupt from time to time when urgent or unexpected events occurs that needs my attention or comments, however, I’ll try as much as possible to explain -from my point of view- errors and mistakes of the past and the terrific results that might be affecting us today and to explain this let me take a simple example terrorism in Egypt.
