Jesus Christ entered Egypt two thousand years ago fleeing from oppression. Egypt was a safe place to visit. Thus, he did not flee to a city of Judea or Galilee. When the people of Israel came out of Egypt, their hearts were attached to Egypt and many times did they think about returning to Egypt. Furthermore, history mentions that opponents of the kings of Israel used to flee to Egypt. At that time, Jesus was a child accompanied by his family and stayed there for nearly three and a half years. During the visit he visited many places and performed a lot of miracles. Egyptians did not believe then in a divine religion, but were pagan. Yet, they welcomed him and treated him well unlike fanatics nowadays whom persecute Christians in Egypt.

The recent heavy rain that hit Egypt revealed the administrative corruption that led to lack of drainage for the rain or even the construction of new cities on the wrong places. It was also clear that those responsible for crisis management in our country can do nothing or do not even exist. We have to acknowledge we don t have a good management in order to have good crisis management. Were they surprised by poor drainage and bad pavement quality of the roads? A lot of money is wasted just like the water drops that the government is crying over now and trying to protect through negotiations with Ethiopia and the Sudan.

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.

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.
