The Arab women deserve to be the subject of this article though they are minimized and marginalized in the Middle East in general. Today, Arab women compete with men in the field of courage. An Iraqi and a Mauritanian women won the Courage Award, announced every year by the US State Department. The US State Department reported that 10 women won the 2018 Women s Courage Award, among them Aliia Khalaf Saleh, known as Um Qusay, and the Mauritanian Maalouma Said Bint Bilal.

The Egyptian response to the Sudanese accusations and claims that Halaib and Shalatin belong to the Sudan came very powerful and different. This time, the respond was away from army or diplomacy as it came through investment. The natural plants in this area are unique and there is a good opportunity to use it for export. Halaib and Shalatin have several medical and aromatic plants that can be exported and help the Egyptian economy. I salute those who think out of the box and face such political accusations by investment for the good of our nation. Investments are indeed more profitable than wars and even diplomacy.

To each his own. Thus, it would be hard to foretell what Pope Shenouda III would do if he was alive under the regime of the Muslim Brotherhood. Would he clash with them or stay in the monastery? What would he do with President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi? I am sure they would go along as Pope Shenouda was nice to everybody, especially the good people. I believe he would have also participated in the revolution of June 30, 2013, as the two popes have the same motivation to do so including their fear and love for the nation. Therefore, I believe that there is one spirit controls the attitudes of the Coptic Orthodox Church and direct its leaders over time. My friends, as we bid farewell to Pope Shenouda III, we did not lose his works, biography and writings. His children are still preaching his ideology and love for his enemies. This appeared as the Salafies were calling to kill him, but he was praying for them. He refused to hear his disciples and fans promising to sacrifice their souls to protect him and said it is his role to protect them even by sacrificing his soul. He indeed loved his people and thus he was loved by his people.

Amr Ahmed Hussein is a newspaper seller who earns little amount of money as sales of newspaper are decreasing all over the world. This man suffers like most of the Egyptian people from the increasing prices in everything, but his didn t allow him to take the big amount of money that he found next to his kiosk. 25.000 LE is the amount of money that he found, which is considered a lot by anyone, but as for this honest man, they were nothing to accept.

Neom is the chosen name for a planned 26,500 sq km transnational city and economic zone to be constructed in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Egypt. This city is a Saudi dream that will take 1000 km of the precious Egyptian land, namely in Sinai, to fulfill this grand project, which will cost 500 billion US dollars. An Investment Fund of $16 billion was founded aiming to develop Sinai and prevent terrorism from taking it over. Greetings to the Egyptian and the Saudi parties for their efforts and we wish the best for them both.

She is an Indonesian economist who has been Minister of Finance of Indonesia since 2016. She was named best minister in the world in a conference attended by ministers from all over the world. When you see what she did in her country, you feel she deserves such prize. In fact, she cut her government’s debt by half, increased foreign reserves to $ 50 billion, reduced the large disparities between incomes and encouraged an ambitious microcredit program, creating jobs in numbers that were not created by another Indonesian minister.

Dr. Nasser Fouad, the first Egyptian deputy lieutenant in UK, is an Egyptian migrant who was assigned as the deputy lord lieutenant of Cheshire, a county in North West England. In the United Kingdom, a Deputy Lieutenant is a Crown appointment and one of several deputies to the Lord Lieutenant of a lieutenancy area: an English ceremonial county,

A group of Egyptian youth decided to take good care of the Egyptian city of Shalatin. 35 of fine arts students took their tools and traveled south to clean and decorate the kiosks of Halayeb and Shalateen. The Egyptian male and female students decided to show their love for the homeland by decorating a dear, yet far part of it. Greetings to those true Egyptians who proved their love by hard working. They dedicated their time and money to produce wonderful artworks that made the beautiful town even more beautiful.

We have talked before about the Marathon of Luxor, and today we are talking about the preparations of Karnak to receive people with special needs, in the framework of an integrated plan prepared by the governor Mohammed Badr and one of the institutions caring for people with special needs and sponsored by a telecommunications company. This plan aims to qualify Luxor to be a Handicapped-Tourist-Friendly city. This development started with Karnak, Luxor and the Luxor Museum by providing them with accessible designs to help people with disabilities during their visit. The plan aims to extend the project to the whole city of Luxor in order to be soon the first Handicapped-Tourist-Friendly city in Egypt. Greetings to the respected governor of Luxor who innovate and carry out such great projects.

The Coptic Christians are used to eat taro and reeds at the feast of Epiphany, which commemorates the baptizing of Jesus Christ in Jordan River.

Usain Bolt is a retired Jamaican sprinter, who is 32 years old. He is the first person to hold both the 100 metres and 200 metres world records since fully automatic time became mandatory. He also holds the world record as a part of the 4 × 100 metres relay.

If you read this article, it means that you have survived the potential attacks against Christians at Christmas celebration. The article is written before the Christmas, and I do not know if the terrorists will succeed in attacking some churches or will police be able to prevent such attacks. You may also be a Muslim reader who reads our electronic newspaper. Anyway, I would like to congratulate you on the feast and the survival as well. I would like also to congratulate the police if succeeded and to offer condolences to the victims if they exist. Dear friends, Egypt is experiencing a critical moment and has to finish all the mega projects and try to survive before another terrorist attack occurs and eliminate our peace and the joy of our achievements. We look at the future with worrisome and at the past with anger. I offer my sincere condolences for the pure Egyptian blood that will be shed as the officials dream to eliminate terrorism with many terrorist institutions supporting your back!

Whoever thinks that the real threat to the Egyptian national security was in targeting Al-Arish airport is missing. The terrorists tried to assassinate the ministers of defense and the interior and they know when the ministers would arrive, but the real threat was in Atfih where the naive accept having dirty streets and corruption in all aspects of their live, but hate to see a cross on a church or hear its bell ring. The real Cornet was not launched in Al-Arish, but rather in the heart of the capital to hit the heart of the homeland. It was launched by negligent officials and lazy clergy who allow extremism and encourage it. I rejoiced when I saw a bridge named after the Christian martyr Abanoub, but my joy was not completed as the mobs attacked the church. The martyr Abanoub sacrificed his life for the homeland as other people incite hatred and destroy that homeland. The real disaster is that such attacks on Coptic Christians and their churches became accepted and supported by customary reconciliation sessions of shame.

Putin s visit to Egypt was part of a Middle Eastern tour through Turkey, Syria and Egypt. He met with Bashar al-Assad and came to end the long-term compromise between Egypt and Russia. President Vladimir Putin said that Egypt will get the latest nuclear technology after Moscow and Cairo signed an agreement for Russia to build a nuclear power plant in Egypt, with Russia extending a loan to Egypt to cover the cost of construction. Putin added during his visit to Cairo that direct flights between Egypt and Moscow will return soon but he didn t say when as if he was trying to secure a decent means of transportation for fans of World Football Cup. It was clear that he is working for the benefit of his country and he was able to get what he wanted.

Sheikh Mohammed Abdul Fattah is the Imam of Al-Rouda mosque in Arish that was attacked terrorists who shot and bombed hundreds of worshippers during Friday prayers. The bomb exploded just as he started his sermon. Sheikh Mohammed was lucky to stay alive and he was saved for being surrounded by many injured people.

I did not understand the logic of those who wanted to assure that Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri decided to stay in the Saudi Arabia by his own will, since the television programs never denies or proves anything. Remember that many people are kidnapped in several countries by their governors and still vote for them. Egyptians have done so for 60 years! Mr. Hariri s appearance on television proves nothing since he is in the hands of the Saudis. If he asks for help on air, would he be safe after all? The situation would be more complicated, and the man realizes that the Saudis will show no mercy even with their dearest friends and family members.

One man was standing on crutches, dancing with one foot with much joy at the victory of Egyptian football team, and the other was crying after the opposing team has scored in his country. They are Egyptians who have not received as much privileges in their country as other citizens in developed countries, but they have another thing in common which is the love of their country. Their slogan is Egypt in the heart. They don’t think about special privileges offered to some Egyptian businessmen that helps them to monopolize the market for a number of strategic goods and enables them to raise their prices and make the people suffer more and more.

I can t deny the efforts of Dr. Tarek Shawki, Minister of Education in Egypt, concerning the problems of education in Egypt. I admit the man has solved the problem of Thanawia Amma, but there is even more important problem that he should care about. There are hundreds of villages without schools and hundreds of schools with too many students and very few teachers. This was followed by a controversial statement by the Egyptian businessman Samieh Sawirous who announced he failed to build 10.000 schools in Egypt thanks to the bureaucracy. Sawirous announced he spent two years trying to get the permits to build the schools, but he failed!

To those who gloat over the natural disaster of Hurricane Erema that hits the United States and destroys many houses and the most expensive tourist resorts, they should know that Libya is one of five countries that are not included on the map of world natural disasters. It should be easy for them and their family to travel to Libya and lead a wonderful safe life away from the wrath of God caused in Florida by the infidelity of the Americans! Let me tell you that many natural disasters have hit Jewish, Christian and Islamic countries, and that has nothing to do with the belief of the majority in these countries. Israel, for instance, was burning few years ago and there were several floods in the Saudi Arabia, the most sacred Islamic country in the world, in addition to the earthquake in Egypt in 1992, which left behind an unforgettable destruction. Turkey, where the Muslim Brotherhood live and think they are the greatest Muslims on earth, has suffered from several earthquakes.

When Egypt was thinking too much how to deal with Qatar and Turkey, which were hostile to Egypt and supporters of terrorism by all means, Egypt was also thinking about the friendly countries of Qatar and Turkey like Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries. This was the position of the Egyptian state which was announced by its foreign ministry. Yet, the Gulf countries didn t accept that Egypt mentioned the involvement of Qatar in on e of the terrorist attacks that targeted a Church in Cairo. Now, as the Gulf countries cut relations with Qatar, Egypt has comfortably withdrawn the ambassador and cut diplomatic ties with Qatar. It s sad that we care for countries that didn t care for us, and it is even sadder that Qatar cares about nothing and decided to return its ambassador to Iran cutting the way before all attempts to reconcile with the Gulf countries that replaced their 13 demands to be only six, but who cares! Qatar could only see its benefits and interests.
