There are many events happened lately in Egypt, through them we can confirm without any doubt that President Sisi started to lose his compass. There are many crises appeared lately showed without any doubt that Sis failed to handle these crises. Many of these crises Sisi may not be responsible for it directly but we can say that he at least failed to manage some of these crises. For example the case of the Italian researcher Gulio Regeni, President Sisi failed to be a responsible president and tell the truth for the world and to Italy, but instead of telling the truth, the interior ministry killed 5 innocent citizens without any judgement.
Egyptian newspaper “The Seventh Day†launched a website to measure the credibility of news published about Egypt in international media including BBC, CNN, RUETERS and Associated Press. It said that the news published about Egypt were not accurate and there were much more news about Egypt than Turkey and Qatar. In fact, it’s a nice idea to listen to what is being said about Egypt in the West. However, the problem is that we will only listen without actually listening to reason. We may keep accusing the world of targeting Egypt, but we have to realize that we are not always right and the world is not always wrong.
We have to apologize to the month of April as we decided to make it the month of lies. We should also apologize to the time that we ruin and call it bad later. At that time, we should also apologize for the history that we have ruined and distorted. We decided to lie and even kill one another claiming this is happening for the sake of God, but in fact we fight for the sake of sectarianism and seeking power!
In Doha, the American flag is raised in a US military base, and the Israeli flag will join it at a sport tournament organized in the so called Arab country that organizes a beach volleyball tournament. This came while the Israeli team Judo did not raise the flag of his country in the United Arab Emirates during its participation in Judo Championship. At the same time, Egyptian writer Aswani is being attacked for distributing one his novels in Israel, The Yacoubian Building. In fact, this novel was praised by many people before they start cursing it for being translated into Hebrew. However, many novels are being translated into Arabic, but they don’t mean to insult other countries. We should stop isolating one another.
There were several condemnations of US, European Union and UN against Egypt after Egyptian police have been investigating a number of local human rights organizations on charges of receiving money from abroad, which is known in the Egyptian media as «foreign funding case». Moreover, Egyptian police is suffering from many accusations after the torture and killing of the Italian student Julio Regina. They failed to convince the public opinion due to its loss of credibility and bad reputation.
After 2 weeks short vacation from my weekly article I’m back, with a lot to talk about over the following weeks but for now I resume with a short brief overview of some events starting with the most recent ones including some Analysis of the respectful Cairo 360 degrees program in TV of M. Osama Kamal one of rare very respectful TV presenters, which I wish first of all to thank him for still being the very same humble presenter of the very same respectful TV program I saw last time almost 6 months ago! With all due respect to Osama Kamal I do have a couple of set back, this is my opinion and I do respect his opinion that I never got the chance to listen or see it! It was about the event that shook Egypt and the world few days ago about the Egypt Air plane hijacked to Cyprus, that day I woke up to see the news on Facebook that it is not my source of news so I switched immediately to Al masreya TV that was on while abroad 24/7 there I found a 100% follow up on that event camera was between Cyrus airport Larnaka and Egypt Air airport or more precisely the emergency room the PM and minister of Aviation set up in the airport to follow up on that crisis...
In the western eastern day, about 72 Pakistani Christians died a lot of them are children and hundreds injured. I want to stand here a little of time in the reaction of the international community toward what happened toward Pakistani Christians and compare it to their reaction toward what happened in France after many people killed in a shooting. When the shooting happened in France, all western countries were united and condemned the attack; furthermore, most of western leaders went to France to take part in the walk so express their Solidarity with France against the attack.
There are certain groups of people that always ruin the life in Egypt at all ages. They have been stealing treasures of Egypt and destroyed all morals after they worshipped all governors and kings that came in power. Such groups worshipped King Farouk and his family, wives and even his mistresses. History tells us that those people flattered the governors till the end.
Jesus Christ out of his love said that we should bless those who curse us, but he is just and lover of mankind at the same time. He was crucified to achieve such justice. Therefore, Christians should know that they should be brave and claim their rights. I know two examples to those Christians who claimed their rights and refused to surrender and eat their tongues.
Monasticism in Egypt has origins and traditions practiced throughout its long history. It has always been sponsored by the Church and enriched her. Pope Tawadros said that church honored monasticism since its very beginning in Egypt during the third and fourth centuries. Monks dedicated their time for prayers and helping the people. Monasticism is based on obedience and repentance. It knows nothing about conflicts, wars and violence. Monks seek quiet life and poverty. It has nothing to do with pride, media shows and resist the authorities.
We have taken no steps to develop the performance of management of the Egyptian state. We have demanded several times to establish a supreme council for planning. This council should pick the right ministers for the cabinet instead of the General and Military Intelligence of Egypt. I hope that those who plan are different from those who carry out the plans since this is a major disaster in management science! It’s known that corruption is spreading inside the Egyptian state. We suffer from neglect and administrative confusion that leads us to destruction.
After the interior ministry announced that it could find the gang that responsible for killing “Guilio Regeni†and all local media and international media couldn’t stop talking about this matter. Unfortunately, I can say that the interior ministry introduced the evidence that the Egyptian police killed “Guilio Regeniâ€. I always believe that if you did something wrong, it will be known even after a while.
Nobody believed Mubarak when he said that terrorism is an international issue. At the time Mubarak was trying to get international support to fight terrorism, several countries were sending its terrorists to Afghanistan including Egypt that sent al-Zawahiri out there. Those terrorists established al-Qaida and spread terrorism all over the world.
In this article I mention several points that reveal problems of the Coptic Christians in Egypt. Christians don’t have freedom to build churches. In Galaa village, Minya, the governor couldn’t rebuild an old church before he accepts 6 conditions of the Salafis. There is no Christian governor in 27 Egyptian governorates and there is no Christian director of security. This could be because of incompetence or the lack of or confidence in Christians. There is no Christian president of university in Egypt or Christian editor-in-chief of a national newspaper. Christians don’t preside over national banks and can’t work as obstetrics and gynaecology professor. Egyptian courts don’t accept Christian witnesses against Muslims. Holy Mass is not recorded in public TV on Sundays.
We had fair parliamentary elections guaranteed by the government. Those who won the elections according to the American democracy. I say that there are both advantages and disadvantages of current Egyptian parliament that came to complete the road map of the Egyptian state. The disadvantage starts by the huge number of members that approaches 600 MPs. This number hinders good performance of the parliament indeed. If each member took only five minutes to discuss certain issue, it will take more than 24 hours to discuss one matter, which is impossible. The other disadvantage of the parliament is the representatives. This came after a military coup occurred in 1952 and the successive governments continued to destroy every aspect of Egyptian civilization. Consequently, political parties were destroyed and returned by a single one that continued the destruction, which is the National Democratic Party.
Children small or big we all celebrate Mothers Day as Spring starts full of Love! We Love you Mothers -All Mothers- and say Thank you mum! It is a pleasure for me to think of my mum living mothers can never destruct us from our beloved dead mothers, having lost your mum or dad or even both is not the end of the world is not the end of Loving and caring so whoever objected R.I.P. Ali Amin idea of celebrating mothers on the 21st of Mars each year was deadly wrong!
Lately I had the chance to know closely some of the Syrian refugee. I can’t deny how much I was feeling sorry for them. I was eager to ask them many questions about everything they saw and how was the situation before they leave their country; however, I thought it might not be the right time to go and open such subjects that might be wounds for them. Any way I could get an idea and recognize some of their traits. Some of their traits are close to the Egyptian traits in many things and different in others. When you see the Syrian you will feel that they are like the Egyptian exactly from Upper Egypt. You will see them kind, humble, struggling to survive, has dreams to be better and improve the quality of their life.
There is no doubt that justice is the main target and dream of human beings. However, the Egyptians are seeking justice in all court rulings that may prove to them that participating in two revolutions was one move towards achieving justice. Couples of days ago, 31 members of the Muslim Brotherhood were sentenced to life imprisonment and 57 were sentenced to 15 years in prison on charges of burning St. George Church in Suhag. For 50 years, such crimes are committed in my country without even having a criminal to judge. The Saints church bomb attack is a sad example for that tragedy that has nobody even to be accused!

The birth of Christ was a reason for progress of all humankind and taught humans to move from pride to humility. Christ the God became man and was born poor to teach us humility.
