I read what was written by a Saudi writer who demanded Egypt to pay thirty-three billion dollars for using the “Saudi islands of Tiran and Snafir”. However the Egyptian government waivered the islands ignoring the bloodshed of the Egyptian soldiers who died to liberate the land, I don’t care if the islands are Egyptian or Saudi, but I was surprised to hear that man demanding Egypt to pay a lot of money for using the islands. In fact, the Egyptian blood is priceless. Yet, it should be known that Egypt has donated money, food, water, medication and security for the poor people in Saudi Arabia.

I fully understand that the visit of the Saudi king to Egypt is a great event, but we didn’t deal with visit of the Russian President Vladimir Putin this way. Despite the support of the Saudi king and his family to Egypt since the revolution of June 30, I do not agree with such exaggeration and excessive welcoming. Our president visited Saudi Arabia several times and was not welcomed this way. I was not surprised that guard of King Salman threw his napkin on the floor. He may feel at home, but he didn’t mean to do this in front of several cameras. He must understand that our media can publish such photos unlike his media that don’t enjoy the same level of freedom.

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.

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.

I don’t know why donation ideas have spread very much in Egypt. Indeed Egypt is in bad need for such donation and it really deserves such money. However, if the government understands the value of Egyptian Pound, why it allows dollar to eat its value all the time? It was a great idea by Minister of Tourism who showed pictures of people who lost their job in tourism sector before tourists to beg for their sympathy and compassion. However, he must forgot about how Egypt treats many of her tourists including allowing them to die in terrorist attacks and even torture them to death! This can’t be how a country depends on tourism should treat its tourists! Such beggary should increase their fears instead of longing for Egypt.

I said in a previous article that powerful intelligence agencies were behind the incidents of al-Darb al-Ahmar aiming to incite sedition between police and the people. Yet, they failed to achieve such evil plan and the people are more united than ever. Police failed to achieve criminal security with pretext that they are preoccupied with national security or fighting the terrorist groups. However, this pretext can’t be true since achieving criminal security should ease the job of fighting terrorism.

The failure of Egyptian interior ministry led the president Abdul Fattah al-Sisi to launch an initiative that revealed weakness of the state. Such initiative to negotiate with a group that was named terrorist by the judiciary! Police can’t deal with the Ultras during the matches. I can’t believe our police is not able to even secure a football matches with audiences! Interior ministry insists on embarrassing the regime and makes it look bad. Consider the police statement about the dead Italian young man. It’s likely that his death was planned and even carried out by the interior ministry. They insist on ruining the regime!

He stands alone in front of the White House holding a sign that says “I participated in the revolution of January 25”. He knows how much this sign will affect those working in that house. Those who planned to use the revolution to bring certain people to power in Egypt led them to prisons and not to the presidential palace. Their failure became their friend and coworker in the prison. They must hate the people who overthrew them, I mean the Egyptian people.

In my country, we hide and deny everything we think is bad for the country and disturbing for the people. We hate everything that disturbs the public peace. There is some kind of overseer to prevent some news and reject some laws, but when it comes to clean the country, other people has to toil to do the job. Yet, we don’t want to annoy anybody since we seek stability. Many crimes are committed in the name of stability. Former presidential election was forged to bring Morsy in power. Publication ban is used to hide the truth in several cases before the court.

There is no doubt that recent American presidents are getting from bad to worse. I don’t think they work for the benefit of their country, but according to their arrogance and lack of understanding. They thought they are able to change the reality of many countries. However, they failed and clashed with many people and countries. America has lost all its allies in the Middle East, including Egypt, during the past 16 years. It supported the Muslim Brotherhood and lost Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Emirates. In contrast, America chose to support its relations with Turkey, Qatar, and Israel.

Richard Nixon, President of the United States showed respect for the Egyptian soldiers who sacrificed their souls and fought well during the war of October 6th. This is still true until today as the Egyptian soldiers are well-appreciated. This was clear when officer Mohamed Ayman decided to sacrifice his soul in order to save his colleagues in the battalion. He continues what Egyptian soldiers started 40 years ago. The grandparents fought and their grandchildren continue their hard work. They proved their bravery and steadfastness. Indeed, the Egyptian soldiers are willing to die in order to save their land and honor.

Our media tend to flatter the President who actually doesn’t like such adulation. He prefers to face criticism in order to learn and fix errors. Therefore, the president tried to change that and said he complains to the people. He didn’t threaten to close newspapers or channels as media do enjoy unprecedented freedom. Before, we couldn’t even criticize the president! In Turkey, journalists are arrested and even killed. Anti-Erdogan newspaper was attacked and burned. Several satellite channels were closed and the opposition is under attack of the government and terrorists as well.

A terrorist cell was arrested in Nasr City on charges of inciting another revolution. The cell consists of five members. The number is little indeed, but they can do a lot supported by other members of the Muslim Brotherhood or other terrorist cells in different places. However, they were charged with preparing for another revolution or what can be called preparing to overthrow the government. They may be terrorists and members of the Muslim Brotherhood, but I believe they are not the real one inciting such revolution. I don’t say this to protect them, but to clarify facts about the real people who incite another potential revolution.

It was coincidence that the historical city of Alexandria was flooded by heavy rain at the time the government is thinking about floating exchange rates of the Egyptian pound. Both governors of Alexandria and the Central bank resigned at the same time as well. Governor of Alexandria denied his resignation hours before it was confirmed. The governor of the central bank did his best to save the Egyptian economy, but governor of Alexandria didn’t do his best to prevent the disaster and had to leave.

The majority of the Egyptian people decided not to participate in the House of Representatives elections. They don’t just vote, but they vote for those whom are well known. The elite may do this to please the governors. The candidates didn’t exert a lot of effort to present themselves to the people. The president didn’t urge the people to participate, but invited them to do through formal speech that didn’t tough the people like improvising. He wasn’t excited during the speech unlike the first time when he urged the people to demonstrate on July 2013. He has not improvised even during the opening of the New Suez Canal Project.

ISIS may be behind Ankara bombings and not Erdogan himself. Those who love power may do more than this in order to protect this power. However, it’s painful to see people in Turkey suffering like we did and still do. I pray to God that their suffering comes to an end. I believe ISIS behind such bombings though Erdogan supported them all the way. He gave them weapons and provided medical care for their fighters. Yet, they paid him back by killing his people. Maybe he encouraged them to do so for some reason, or they may betrayed him after the Russian bear attacked them using his new weapons.

In my program, I hosted with great pride two honored guests: Atef Nazmi, lawyer of the martyrs of Maspero, and my friend Isaac Ibrahim, human rights activist and member of the Egyptian initiative. I found myself comparing between the treatment of the international organizations to the victims of the two accidents in Rabaa Adawia and in Maspero. However, I am sorry for conducting such comparison between those who demonstrated peacefully demanding freedom and equality, and those who carried weapons and incited violence. They even refused to evacuate the place ignoring all warnings of the security forces.

In an interview with Al-Jazeera satellite TV, Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that Turkey harbors two million Syrian refugees, while Europe harbors only eight hundred thousand refugees. However, he did not tell us how they live in Turkey and why many of them would rather die in their way to Europe than staying at Turkey! Many of them also preferred Egypt to Turkey though it’s very far. He also said that he was surprised by what Russia is doing in Syria; especially that Russia has no common borders with Syria. He may realize that neither America nor France that wage wars against ISIS have common boarders with Syria, except Jordan. How come he said nothing about them as well?

The Egyptian idiom says: "chose the neighbor before the house". President Abdul Fatah al-Sisi told President Mahmoud Abbas Abu Mazen that the PLO should be responsible for the Gaza Strip, because the current situation is not pleasing at all to Egypt. The current neighbor is taking advantage from the tunnels, and is indeed a traitor to the Arab cause. The Sudan belongs to the Muslim Brotherhood, but Egypt supports Libya in order to restore Libya! Concerning the Palestinian neighbor, Egypt knows that legitimacy is indeed with Abu Mazen and the PLO. In this situation, the house can’t be changed, but the neighbor can be.

We, the Egyptians, should respect disagreements and never let them lead them to hatred and accusing one another. I don’t agree with the president who said that the constitution was written with good intentions, but they are not able to build nations. I wonder how come he took an oath to respect such constitution that has no ability to build the nation!

It was not strange to Mubarak, who was not elected by the Egyptians, to take several mysterious decisions and keep them mysterious to the people. After Mubarak was overthrown, his men tried to continue such hateful policy, but they didn’t realize the fact that the Egyptians now elect their president. President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi appointed Ibrahim Mehleb as the Egyptian Prime Minister. However, he was removed suddenly from his office for some reason like he didn’t answer a question by a journalist who belongs to the Muslim Brotherhood making the Egyptian government looks too bad, or he is involved in corruption cases like the one of the agriculture minister Salah Helal. However, we should know why he chose the new Prime Minister.
