At thirtieth of June 2012, a spy who belonged to MB organization and sentenced to be executed and accused of several cases, the least of them could lead him to death penalty. Though all these facts, he could be bold enough to win Egypt's presidency and could take the authority and rule the country. The terrorist organization claimed that his victory and success based on fair elections, despite what happened from preventing Copts from voting in the small villages, which was proved after the election by recognition of the chief election commissioner at that time, and defrauding results in Amiriya printing presses, which supposed to be investigated tell now. Last June, after great popular demonstrations cannot be denied, Egyptian people could overthrow Morsi's rule and President Sisi arrived to take the authority according to Egyptians' will. This is the fact that some people intended to deny as they still thinking that Morsi is the real president for Egypt, but the fact is that Sisi became a president and succeeded by people’s will.
I do not know who wants to put a veil on media like fanatics want to cover women in Egypt. Even the Prime Minister didn't know who was responsible for preventing the anchor Reem Maged from appearing in her talks show on ON TV private television. Indeed, somebody was able to prevent her from appearing on her channel, but failed to do the same with the German channel Deutsche Welle. This person forgot that we have all kind of technology that allows whoever wants to watch her to do so whenever and wherever he wants. Furthermore, this person failed to prevent several channels from attacking Egypt, but succeeded to prevent this anchor from appearing in her show.
There is no equality between the people in Egypt, but the constitution states exactly the opposite. Here, a judge may work according to his desires and not according to constitution and law. He or she may classify the people according to their families and not according to their work. It’s forbidden for the lower classes to reach the upper ones and dustman's son can’t look forward to being judges. In our countries, failure is guaranteed for most people, but success is not for all.
It is amazing to know that Egypt has received support by many states and tribes in its war against terrorism. Yes, tribes are acting more like states with many soldiers and heavy weapons. The state of Tarabin is one of the tribes that offered to help our military and police in the evacuation of terrorists from the villages of Mahdia and Agraa that are considered strongholds of terrorists in Sinai. More than 300 soldiers moved with their heavy gear to liberate those villages and they succeeded. I really don’t know what they did to the terrorists or how they punished them.
I wrote this article after the court issued its ruling concerning the Presidential palace incidents, which turned it into a torture chambers for enemies of the Muslim Brotherhood, I mean the peaceful demonstrators. The event was planned by the deputy of the president, Ahmed Mekky. I don’t comment on the rule. Indeed, the judge knows and sees more than we do. However, the judge pleased supporters of the ousted president by giving Mohamed Morsy this fake rule of innocence concerning killing the demonstrators. Yet, some of them are sad as they couldn’t mourn the beheaded of their hero who could have been sentenced to death penalty.
Since people are different, they have different ways to celebrate the feasts. Some people go out with their friends or visit their relatives. Others decide to stay at home. I can see women women suffering at feasts, not only to clean the houses and prepare the food, but also to visit beauty centers and take care of their beauty. Most men will not tolerate half of their hard and boring work. On the other hand, men take care of football games instead of such vital tasks.
Today is the anniversary of of April 6 movement. This movement that brought much hope to change in the Egyptian reality. However, its very first activities were covered with blood of those who participated in the demonstrations in Mahala al-Kubra. At that time, many people asked: is the movement playing on the suffering and needs of the Egyptian people or not? Time passed and many questions about the movement were answered and the rest are still waiting for the answers.
Many times did we hear recently about a bomb that exploded to kill a terrorist? Yet, I wonder: shall we gloat in those terrorist who destroyed themselves when they decided to destroy us. Such explosion hasn’t been achieved by the smart security agencies or the hard working of somebody. It was rather achieved by the very few experience of those terrorists. They are either idiots or had bad luck applying their evil scheme.
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.
President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi has given a nice speech last Sunday. Yet, I hope he will commit to his speech and don’t be late like he promised to appoint the new governors no later than the end of January, which was fulfilled in February. The speech showed what we know about the president who is well known for being calm and organized. His speech came to deny certain information that I knew they were not true. The speech was directed in a nice way that we are not used to with speeches of the president. He denied the leaks by gestures, when he should have talked about them clearly. Yet, his work in the intelligence agency made his character this way.
I neither like watching funerals of Egyptian martyrs nor watching their families mourning. However, the situation this time was even worse with the absence of the bodies and the lack of even symbolic coffins since the bodies couldn’t be returned to Egypt. The Mediterranean Sea is a sea connected to the Atlantic Ocean surrounded by the Mediterranean region and almost completely enclosed by land: on the north by Southern Europe and Anatolia, on the south by North Africa, and on the east by the Levant. In Modern Arabic, it is known as al-Baḥr al-Abyaḍ al-Mutawassiṭ translated the White Middle Sea. Thus, this attack transformed the white sea into red, and the red hearts of their families into black.
If I judge al-Zahar, supporter of Hamas, I find out that he has lost his mind. He went crazy after hearing the judgment by Egyptian judiciary to name al-Qassam Brigades a terrorist organization. It’s indeed a terrorist faction as it plans to spread chaos in Egypt and kill the Egyptians. Such ruling came to reveal a fact that you acknowledged months before when you decided to stop all hostilities against Israel. You forgot that there is no difference between hostilities and terrorist acts. Egyptian judiciary only repeated a fact stated by your president Mohamed Morsy. I do wonder when al-Zahar says that only loser armies provoke hostility with Hamas. In fact, there are no loser armies more than Hamas and Hizbolah. Perhaps he meant the Turkish army, which crushed under the Egyptian army feet since Muhammad Ali Pasha, the great, and was defeated by several European armies as well. Perhaps he meant the Qatari army, which I do not know if it exists or the Qatari royal family depends entirely on American bases.
Egypt’s Prime Minister couldn’t find better representatives for the people in Mataria except for sponsors of terrorism, who killed the Coptic child Mina Maher, and held a meeting with them. Therefore, from now on, I don’t consider the office of Egyptian Prime Minister until another person comes to the office. He is hardworking, but a great unsuccessful with the most failure police all over the world. In the meeting, the killers demanded new mosques in order to spread more fanaticism in the region, and also police cars to protect them. I really don’t understand why they need protection. I can only imagine they need to secure arms deals. Police can do this job since they can’t arrest those killers.
Journalists and anchors are used to host some astrologers and astronomers at the end of the year to foretell about the new year. Yet, many people are interested in such programs including myself, but I don’t know the reason! Maybe it’s our way to relieve our worry and fear for the new year.
I don’t like exaggeration concerning the visit of the president to China. Yet, it’s an important visit, but not historical as many people claim. Ousted president Morsy has also visited China. China is a major economic player in the world, and we are in bad need to its support and investments. This comes as we can’t depend on America or Russia. We have to get the support of countries like China and India.
I won’t talk today about details of the dispersal of Rabaa Adawia sit-in, as it has been searched on the both local and global levels. The Egyptian fact-finding committee and international human rights organizations agreed that Egyptian police did a good job in dealing with the armed sit-in.
Court sentenced more than 180 individuals to death penalty, and they were only waiting for acceptance of the Grand Mufti of Egypt to apply the judgment. The defendants had attacked Kerdasa Police station and killed its officers before they mutilate the bodies. When you see the pictures, you may wish to repeat the judge a thousand times. Yet, why many people refused similar judgment against Mubarak? Is it because the victims of Mubarak were only shot without mutilation? No, it’s because those people believe that Mubarak didn’t do this as the revolution wouldn’t succeed so smoothly if he did.
The fact finding committee of the revolution of June 30 issued its final report at the time the Missouri police officer who killed an unarmed black teenager was aquitted.The court found he was acting in self defense when he shot Brown, the black young man. The officer doesn’t have a proof that the black man was a threat to his life when he shot him. Now, the Egyptian police that dispersed Rabaa Adawia sit-ins have many proofs and videos that protestors of Rabaa were violent and dangerous.
Christianity and Islam agree that believers should be polite and not curse or insult others. Yet, many Muslims and Christians ignore such basics and rules. Moreover, some people think that insulting the opposes of president al-Sisi is the best way to support him and prove their loyalty! In fact, I believe the best way to express ones love to al-Sisi is by being a serious opposition for him and put his mistakes under the spot. Some artists refused the statement of actor Khalid Abul Naga, in which he invites al-Sisi to step down as he couldn’t eliminate terrorism in Egypt.
One of the most crucial decisions in the history of Egypt and the region was the decision of Sadat to travel to Israel 37 years ago. On that day, Sadat expressed his readiness to travel even to the Israeli Knesset. It was clear that Sadat has prepared for the visit with his friend Carter who sent a message to Sadat asking him to take a move and salvage the situation.
When Einstein defined stupidity as repeating the same action expecting different results, he didn’t see the Egyptian police applying this rule concerning the bombing of Nahda Square, which was repeated twice in almost every single detail. The officers didn’t learn from the mistakes of other officers serving at the same location and were targeted by bombs. They didn’t secure themselves and, therefore, can’t secure the people as well. They preferred to die instead of doing their job! What kind of negligence or madness is that?
