In its recent report, Moody’s affirmation of Egypt’s rating at B2 with a stable outlook came to reflect the government s economic reforms and financial measures over the past years. Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouli said that the trust of Moody s Corporation in the performance of the Egyptian economy reflects the efficiency of the measures adopted by the government to promote growth rates and overcome challenges posed by the global COVID-19 crisis. Moody s Investors Service said that Egypt s (B2 stable) credit profile reflects its sizable and diversified economy, large domestic funding base, and projected foreign exchange reserves that are enough to cover maturing external liabilities over the next three years. We wish the best for our country and for those who do their best we say: keep up the good work! .

One day the disciples of Jesus Christ imagined they solely possess the keys to heaven, and told their Master that they saw someone driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him, because he is not one of us . “Do not stop him,” Jesus said, “for whoever is not against you is for you. (Luke 9: 49,50). The same concept is repeated today as some servants forget that the heavenly city of Jerusalem will dwell in its neighborhoods of all nations, of all tribes and of all peoples. Saint John Chrysostom was found guilty and he died in exile, but the departure of Pope Theophilus, Pope Kyrollos, the pillar of religion, lifted the excommunication and canceled the ruling that the previous Pope had ruled on Saint John Chrysostom and placed his name in the Council of the Saints. I remembered these historical events along with what the Coptic Church had recently done with Dr. George Habib Bebawy , the Coptic theologian, who was tried in a local council in 2007 without his presence or hearing his defense. Bebawy has published several books, articles, and lectures in which he refuted all the accusations leveled against him and has repeatedly called for a public trial in which all his ideas are discussed. His Holiness Pope Tawadros II assigned the file of Dr. Babaoui to HG Bishop Raphael, the former secretary of the Holy Synod, and they communicated and Bishop Raphael demanded Dr. George to correct the image of the church in front of people since he had insulted the church and its leaders. During these correspondences, Dr. George s health deteriorated and therefore, Pope Tawadros followed the rules of the church that permits taking communion even for those who have ecclesiastical punishment when they are approaching death. Thus, Pope Tawadros asked Anba Seraphim, Bishop of Indiana and Michigan, to take the confession of Dr. Bebawi and to allow him to take communion. It was a great humanitarian decision of Pope Tawadros who can be called the golden-hearted.

We are accustomed to hear some Salafi preachers attacking Christians or contempt of Christianity, as well as claiming that the Holy Bible is distorted. But we are not accustomed to hear a public figure and a man of law like President of Lawyer Bar Association using some verses of the Holy Bible to provoke and attack Coptic Christians in a published article. Of course, I am not against freedom of thought and belief, but this has different frameworks and contexts and is likely to be used as a method of seeking cheap fame or even to gain the support of the extremists in an elections. I don’t know why the feelings of Christian Egyptian citizens are underestimated like that. The Lawyer Bar Association writes an article questioning the Holy Bible and publishes it in newspaper, without any sense of what this article bears in terms of attacking believes and feelings of Christians. What will happen if a Christian man writes a similar article to question the facts in the Holy Quraan. I am sure he will apologize for what he did, and I believe that Holy Books are much more powerful than such weak words, but I also believe that leaders and senior officials in a country like Egypt should be more wise and careful.

The British Company EasyJet, one of the most important airlines in the world and Europe, has been certified to operate chartered flights to the Egyptian cities Sharm El Sheikh in South Sinai, and Hurghada in the Red Sea. The company is scheduled to operate two flights per week to Sharm El Sheikh Airport, the Manchester / Sharm El Sheikh route, next September, and one flight per week from Gatwick Airport to Sharm El Sheikh, while Hurghada Airport will receive 4 flights per week from London Gatwick Airport, starting from September 2, and two flights per week from Manchester. This indeed proves the positive role of the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, and how the precautionary measures have affected tourism during the past two months as a great achievement made by the Egyptian government.

I want to congratulate Bahrain and Emirate for singing a peace agreement with Israel. Finally, Arab countries started to be smart and to know that Israel is not their enemy but Iran and Hezbaollah are the real enemy. Bahrain and Emirate recognized that who caused the chaos in the region is Iran, Hamas and Hezbaollah not Israel. They recognized that the best way to protect themselves from this enemy is to sign a peace agreement with the enemy of Iran which is Israel.

Emirates announced lately signing a peace agreement with Israel which considered a precedent agreement between an arab country and Israel. For a long time Arab countries refused to have a relationship with Israel because of the palestine issue. The question here is what has changed as long as Israel still occupying the palateninan territories? The answer is very simple, Iran is the key word or you can say that Iran is the main reason pushed Emirates to do such an agreement with Israel.

The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities announced that the propaganda film A Tourist s Journey in Egypt, launched by the ministry last Juneas part of the "Same Great Feelings" international promotional campaign has achieved positive results on various social media platforms, in conjunction with the resumption of inbound tourism to Egypt. The campaign sought to communicate and interact with the public in the main countries exporting tourism to Egypt, informing them of the precautionary measures and health safety controls in place, highlighting the diversity and distinction of the Egyptian tourism product and destination, and that the precautionary measures did not affect the tourists enjoyment of their holidays in the picturesque Egypt Tariq Hosni, advisor to the minister of tourism for strategic studies and marketing, explained that the film achieved a very high viewership as the film achieved 77 million views on Google, 80 million views on Facebook, and 4 million views on Twitter, in addition to 3.6 million views on TikTok, and about a million views on Snapchat, which contributed to significantly improving the image of Egypt and to promote its tourism.

A poem called When do they announce the death of Arabs was written by the famous Lebanese poet Nizar Qabbani, in which he honestly expresses the miserable situation reached by the Arabs at that time. The poet was very honest and his words were quoted by many people who believed in him. Nizar Qabbani attacked the June setback and President Gamal Abdel Nasser, and therefore, the Egyptian government prevented his songs from circulating on radio and television, though the great Egyptian singers used to sing for him, including Umm Kulthum, Abdel Wahab, Abdel Halim and others. But the decision was canceled later.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan issued a decision decision to convert the sixth-century Chora Museum into a mosque after 75 years of turning it into a museum. By this provocative decision, Erdogan threatens international peace and coexistence of civilizations. Such decision comes one month after the conversion of the Hagia Sophia museum, which was originally a church, into a mosque. The Chora Church was built in sixth-century Byzantine Empire. In the 16th century, during the Ottoman era, the church was converted into a mosque; it became a museum in 1945, and in 2020 it is being reconverted to a mosque.

Sisi announced lately to increase the price of the metro ticket to almost 66% which means more expenses on the shoulder of the Egyptian family. Its normal to increase the fees of public transportation but its not normal to increase it by 66% percent at one time. Normally, all countries increase prices from 2 to 5%.

For her great position in the Holy Bible and Christianity, the Virgin Mary was demonstrated in a variety of scenes in Coptic art, Christian icons and drawings, and her pictures spread in all churches of the world. HG Bishop Martiros, the General Bishop, in his article The diversity of the appearance of the Mother of God in icons explained to us that Saint Luke the physician was the first to draw an icon of the Mother of God carrying her son, the Lord Jesus. Then, her pictures were painted on the walls of the dimes places under the floor of the ancient city of Rome, and then her pictures spread in the churches of the whole world with various scenes and forms expressed by Christian art. The various icons and drawings of the Virgin Mary were depicted in several scenes that have specific connotations, among which it was explained that she has always been virgin, the second heaven, the queen, the mother of God, and higher than the cherubim and the seraphim. The images also highlighted several symbols associated with the Virgin, such as the bush, the tabernacle, the ark of the covenant and the ladder of Jacob. Many purposes and specific connotations, whether theological, spiritual or doctrinal, were demonstrated in the icons of the Holy Virgin Mary about whom Saint Cyril of Alexandria says: (Peace be to Mary, the Mother of God, the precious treasure, the lamp that is never extinguished, the crown of virginity, and the rod of Orthodoxy).

ASHRAE announced the winners of the 2020 Student Design Competition and Applied Engineering Challenge.

Dr. Hussam Abdel Fattah, Dean of the College of Engineering, expressed his pride and happiness at the college s students winning the first place in the competition explaining that the winning project submitted by a group of undergraduate students in the Department of Mechanical Power Engineering. Greetings to the students team and their supervisors and to the leaders of Cairo University including the great man Dr. Gaber Gad Nassar.

With the Egyptian-Israeli peace agreement, and because we are a religious military state, former President Sadat resorted to the sheikhs to issue fatwas authorizing peace with Israel raising the slogan of peace. The opposition also used another fatwa prohibiting peace with Israel, including fatwas of Al-Azhar sheikhs themselves in 1956, issued about 21 years before peace with Israel. As is the norm of religious controversy, the debate has not been resolved, and the doctrinal dispute over peace with Israel remains until today. It is your political doctrine that defines your doctrine of jurisprudence, and because Arabic-speaking societies are hard to learn, they repeat the same actions and mistakes as well. The Sheikhs of the Emirates issued a statement yesterday saying that it may be permissible to hold peace treaty with Israel and they praised the wisdom of the heroic crown prince. But I liked that they didn’t mention in the fatwa if it is permissible or forbidden. Instead, they said it is one of the responsibilities of the governor. I wish all sheikhs do the same and assure politics is non of their business.

Prisons are filled with many political prisoners, and outside the prison their relatives, friends and loved ones wish them out and hope they receive amnesty. In fact, life is full of wonders and many political prisoners in history were imprisoned and then took prominent offices. For example: Makram Ubaid Pasha, who was arrested by the government of the delegation (Alwafd) and then the delegation was overthrown and he was released. Soon, he was appointed Minister of Finance, and at that time he said his famous saying: I was once a prisoner in the corners of the earth,, and then became a trustee on its treasures (since he became a minister for financial). The same thing happened with Nelson Mandela, the South African fighter who was remained in prison for 29 years, but he was finally released to take office of the president of South Africa and be the first president of color in it. History is indeed full of amazing things.

Many times did the Palestinian officials invited the Egyptian people to visit Palestine, but their invitation was rejected to avoid normalization with its ugly reputation at that time. The Palestinian president assured that visiting Jerusalem is like visiting the prisoner in his jail. I remembered this as I was hearing today about the Historic Peace Agreement between our two GREAT friends, Israel and the United Arab Emirates (as named by Donald Trump). The new agreement of normalization includes having bilateral agreements regarding investment, tourism, direct flights, security, telecommunications, technology, energy, healthcare, culture, the environment, the establishment of reciprocal embassies, and other areas of mutual benefits. On the other hand, the new normal diplomatic relations should put on pause Israel s efforts to annex parts of the West Bank as announced by the United Arab Emirates. For his part, President Abdel Fattah El Sisi praised the newly-announced agreement saying: I followed with great interest and appreciation the tripartite joint statement between the United States of America, the […] United Arab Emirates and Israel regarding the agreement to stop Israel s annexation of the Palestinian territories assuring it would bring peace to the Middle East I hope that such agreement would be respected by Israel and will achieve prosperity and stability for the suffering Palestinians and for the region.

It seems that we will see a repeated cenario of what happened in the 2016 elections in the US. All polls refer to Joe Biden winning the election and then suddenly wake up and find that Trump won his second term. Unfortunately, the deomcratic party failed to candidate someone who can inspire Americans as it was before. Its really sad that american has to choose between two old folks 74 and 77. When you fail to candidate a young person who can inspire people in all America, that means that America is old as well and started to suffer from disease that infect old people.

God uses a variety of methods to communicate his messages to all people. Those who are willing to listen receive the voice of God without Intimidation or belittling and interact with it. Others refuse to hear and reject the message because they do not understand the purpose of God. Father Poulos William, priest of St. Mark Church of Heliopolis, told us in his article ‘He who has ears to hear, let him hear’ that God’s love for human beings is simply beyond description, so God does not want sinners to die without repenting. His messages aim to reach and reassure us, and call us to repentance or even give us warnings or messages of hope.

In the ninetieth, the Egyptian Minister of Defense was Field Marshal Abu Ghazala. He was one of the most brilliant and powerful defense ministers in the history of the world and presented several military theories. There was an Egyptian scientist specialized in military engineering named Helmy Abdel Qader, a graduate of Egyptian military art. This man was born in Minya governorate and he achieved first place in his class and worked in Egypt for a while before he traveled to Canada and then entered America and joined the American military factories. He was a very talented, and within months America gave him a security permit to enter all American military places because of his extraordinary capabilities in the military industries. In that time, an alliance took place between Abu Ghazaleh, Iraq and Argentina to manufacture and develop ballistic missiles, but they needed a substance called black carbon, which only exists in America. There was a colonel in the Egyptian Intelligence Service named Hossam Khairallah ( A former presidential candidate) was assigned by Field Marshal Abu Ghazaleh to communicate with the Egyptian scientist Helmy Abdel Qader. Indeed, he communicated with him and agreed to transfer the black carbon substance to Egypt. Helmy Abdel Qader was a very patriot Egyptian who excreted a great effort to recruit an American scientist to help him prepare the package and send it to the Egyptian embassy and then to Egypt. At that time, an Egyptian traitor named Muhammad Morsi (former president of Egypt) was recruited by American intelligence to monitor all Egyptian movements in the state in which he lived in exchange for educational and financial facilities, and he was also attached to the American NASA agency. Morsi was assigned also to spy on the Egyptian scientist Helmy Abdel Qader who was very intelligent and careful, but he thought that Mohamed Morsi is a naive village man who can never be dangerous. Morsi, however, listened to a phone call between Abdel Qader and Khairallah and revealed it to the CIA and exposed the operation and Helmy Abdel Qader was sentenced to 25 years in prison. The American administration asked Mubarak to dismiss Abu Ghazaleh who was the best defense minister in the world at that time and participated in planning with Saddam Hussein in liberating Faw from Iran and breaking the thorn of Iran. Later, in the presidential elections following Mubarak s resignation the traitor and spy Morsi won the elections supported by the USA, but the patriot sons of Abu Ghazaleh were present to save Egypt

The explosion that destroyed a huge area from lebanon and resulted in a lot of victims and casualties in souls and buildings opened a lot of questions related to politicians and parties in Lebanon. Unfortunately, Lebanon is a victim of external parties that tries to impose certain doctrines on lebanees and that what divided them and might lead to a civil war like the one was in the 70th.
