President Sadat, had an old saying during the Middle East crisis and peace negotiations with Israel that ninety-nine percent of the cards were in the hands of the Americans. Sadat was right and, but the collapse of the Soviet Union led to confirm his saying and prove his wisdom. I wonder if he would remain in his vision today or would he change his mind? In the last five years, the Kremlin has been less interested in Russia s economic growth than in strengthening Russia s geopolitical influence. Back in 2014, following Russia s annexation of Crimea and its military intervention in eastern Ukraine, Moscow - imposed by economic sanctions - seemed isolated. Western leaders criticized President Putin believing that their criticism and the pressure of sanctions on the Kremlin would change the behavior of the Russian government, and even US President Barack Obama disregarded Russia as a regional power.

Abi Ahmed Ali, Prime Minister of Ethiopia, who won the Nobel Prize is a brilliant politician who has done a lot for his country. I like what he did even though he caused harm to Egypt by developing his country on our expenses. He resolved peace in the region, released political prisoners in Ethiopia, made a comprehensive reconciliation, and received in his office the opponents who were exiled and sentenced to death. He respected rights and freedoms and democracy and ended the state of emergency in the country as prat of the political reform policy. Abi Ahmed also won awards from religious leaders, as well as high international awards for his historic role in national unity and the establishment of internal peace in his country He excreted efforts to release Ethiopian detainees abroad and signed agreements with other countries to find several seaports for his Landlocked country. He reconciled with Eritrea and ended the border conflict with it and also agreed with them to use their ports, which means the neutralization of the most important ally of Egypt. He also signed an agreement with France to build a naval fleet for Ethiopia and train its staff and protect the country which means neutralizing Egypt s allies as well after conducting joint exercises with the US military in July. His government renewed the joint defense agreements with India, brought in the highest foreign direct investment in the entire East Africa region, convinced Chinese factories to move its textile industries in Ethiopia instead of Bangladesh after a crises, and persuaded Turkey to invest $ 2.5 billion in Ethiopia. He also gave China and other countries the opportunity to buy and lease agricultural land in the areas that will benefit from the Renaissance Dam Lake, which means they will be interested in completing the project for their own interests, not to mention the loans of the Chinese banks to complete the project. Furthermore, he allowed Chinese companies to invest in electricity and electronics projects which means their benefits are linked to the Renaissance dam. Ethiopian Airlines under his era became the first in Africa and made a net profit equivalent to 6 billion Egyptian pounds. He had a great role in spreading peace in southern Sudan and in northern Sudan, he had a very strong vital role in the Sudanese revolution and helped the military council and the rebels to reach the current agreement. This man made the greatest achievement for his country including freedom, national reconciliation, democracy, peaceful transfer of power, and many political reforms. He is only 42 years old and we can t compete with him.

At the time security services in Egypt seriously dealt with calls for a revolution and arrested many people and canceled a football match between Zamalek Egyptian team and Senegal, media was under great pressure as well that it couldn’t decide weather to cover the terrorist attack on security ambush in Sinai or to cover the celebrations of what we don’t know. On the other side, the president said to the people who welcomed him at the airport that nothing serious is happening and assured that he is following the procedures of randomly removing citizens from subsidy system, and ordered to stop such farce. On the other side, the Egyptian Parliament announced to discuss raising minimum wages and retirement wages. The president cleverly realized that revolutionary advocates and instigators of the country used rumors of corruption and building palaces to ignite the situation since the people are already suffering from bad economic conditions. The price of the US dollar is decreasing, but nobody feels such decrease and progress. He also realized that this was the reason behind the revolution of January 25, 2011.

Nabila Makram, Egypt s Minister of Migration and Egyptian Affairs Abroad, announced to sponsor the trip of the adventurer Ali Abdu who will traveled for 25.000 kilometers across Egypt to visit all Egyptian governorates on an electric bike. His trip comes to raise awareness of environmental issues and global warming and to spread the culture of electric vehicles in Egypt to preserve the environment and reduce pollution and fuel consumption. The trip is also sponsored by the Ministries of Youth, Sports and Military Production, in addition to the United Nations Development Program. Ambassador Makram said that the Egyptian adventure will also become an ambassador for the NO PLACE LIKE EGYPT campaign, which was launched by the ministry to promote Egypt abroad. His trip will draw attention to different places in Egypt, highlighting the Egyptian history and heritage. The videos and data of the trip will be used abroad to promote tourism in Egypt. The Minister also expressed her pride in the great achievements of Ali Abdu including his new Genes records for the longest driving distance of Motocross within 24 hours. I congratulate the minister on the great idea and positive thinking that will promote tourism in a brilliant way.

If you are a follower of the achievements of Egyptians, you must have seen the achievement of Dr. Mirna Hosni, a student of pharmacy at the British University in Egypt who achieved first place over 45 teams, while she stood alone in the competition. Mirna took only quarter of the time since she started late, which proves her achievement. Yet, this shows disrespect and recklessness of some officials concerning those who represent Egypt abroad. Those responsible didn t read the conditions carefully since the didn t notice that a team should consists of 5 members and not only one. I congratulate the Egyptian I and the Egyptian women on Mirna s achievement for what she did alone abroad.

Fan Jameel (beautiful art) Foundation, which supports heritage, education and arts, announced the implementation of a one-month summer program for the revival of traditional crafts in the tourist village of Tunis, Fayoum Governorate. Over the course of four weeks, the youngsters engage in a program of workshops focusing on the unique heritage of Fayoum Governorate. These workshops include Islamic arts, copper works, printing, and ceramics, which is one of the most popular activities in Fayoum. This free program is the first major project of Fan Jamil outside Cairo. The foundation was established in 2009 and offers a two-year program of handicrafts and design arts in a joint project between Fan Jamil, the Prince Charles School of Traditional Arts Foundation and the Cultural Development Fund of Egypt. It is worth mentioning that the village of Tunis offers the finest Egyptian hand-made pottery products.

British Foreign Minister Boris Johnson won the presidency of the ruling Conservative Party in Britain, prompting the British queen to commission him to form the government. Johnson s is known as the English version of Trump with his foolish and irresponsible responses and irresponsibility. Johnson is willing to move out of the EU even without an agreement break-set without deal The European legislator refuses to negotiate a new agreement just like the European Commission. Thus, he only try to get Britain out without agreement, which is a real catastrophe for the British people. Going out without an agreement would mean a complete collapse of the British economy. Thousands or even millions of Englishmen would lose their jobs. Hundreds of major European industrial companies with factories in Britain would have to withdraw from Britain and drug companies are no exception, which might cause the death of many patients who will not find their medicine. So the British find themselves inclined to repeat the dreaded referendum, in which they voted in favor of the exit, including the Remainers now group, who regretted accepting the divorce and want to take their yes back! In fact, Johnson has a mission impossible between changing the mind of the Europeans or changing the mind of the British Parliament to accept no agreement scenario that will bring a disaster to the economy and health sectors. Another war may erupt between the Northern and Southern Irelands, which could result in another war such as the one that was interrupted by the Good Friday Agreement in 1998. In short, I hope that the English version of Trump wouldn t cause more disasters in the world.

After Recep Tayyip Erdoğan had lost in the municipal elections three of the most important cities of his country, he refused to accept such loss in the capital. Thus, he repeated the elections to lose for the second time. This time, he acknowledged his loss and has not fraud the elections. He puts thousands of his opponents and journalists in jail, but he refuses to rig the elections or cheat. This could have happened in order to save his dignity before the world with all his repressive practices against his opponents. This could have happened with many people defending their rights to vote.

Egypt in the last five years embraced the African continent after the lifting of the freeze on its membership in the African Union. This year it became the President of the Union and gave great concern to the African countries. Egypt received the African youth in Aswan Upper Egypt and launched an intuitive to treat 1 million Africans, which is an international version of the Presidential initiative to treat 100 million Egyptians. Then Egypt embraced the first African anti-corruption forum in Sharm El-Sheikh (AACF) aiming to establish a shared knowledge base between different regions of the continent on the risks of corruption and its severe negative effect on development. Yet, there was nothing said about those with corrupted conscious who refused to call a school after the name of a Coptic martyr called Abanoub, which is the third case in few months.

How painful it is to write about the martyrs at the time we supposed to rejoice. It is so sad to see innocent young people die for no good reason even though they died for their homelands. They were supposed to celebrate the feast and may have visited the graves according to the Egyptian customs to remember the dear ones who died, but they may have never expected to join them on that day! The recent terrorist attack in Sinai brought new brave soldiers into the grave whose families knew they are serving the country and willing to sacrifice their souls for it.

The Zambian President Edgar Shjou Lungu and Bishop Paul of Africa opened the Coptic Hospital, which was built by the Egyptian Orthodox Church in the Zambian capital of Lokasa, one of the largest hospitals in Zambia. Pope Paul, the president and his accompanying delegation of ministers and officials, took a tour of the hospital corridors. Longo praised the modern equipment they contained and carried one of the newborn babies to the hospital.

We have to thank the Egyptian Foreign Ministry for its successes, cooperation and openness to countries such as China, India and Russia, as well as the African countries. This leads us to think more about the potential wars in the Arab region, especially in the Gulf region, which will drain its resources and affect its people and prosperity badly. The escalation by America and its successor Israel supported by some Gulf states against Iran has become a real danger and threat for all countries in the region. Therefore, I propose to the President al-Sisi to take an initiative by sending a deputy for him and let Major General Mahmoud Hijazi or Major General Mohammed Irfan to start the negotiations with Iran and to play the role of mediation with Iran, which bears great appreciation to Egypt giving its history, civilization and culture. We need to realize the threat before us that some Western countries want to start.

Hamada Yassin is a university student at the Faculty of Arts, Beni Suef University. He was born blind and since he was very young, he started working to provide for his family. He had a computer at his home, but he couldn t afford its maintenance. Thus, he learned simple programming and understand the basics of Windows, and learned how to install windows and fix computers. Hamada worked in a small shop for the maintenance of electronic devices in his small village, but he was not treated well by the owner and had to leave the work. At the university, he took several course in the field of electric devices maintenance, and soon the university of Beni Suef hired him to operate the blind students lab. He was honored by Dr. Mansour Hassan, president of Beni Suef university. Greetings to Hamada and to all those who helped him and honored him.

Regimes fall by revolutions or military coups, but a successful revolutions only insist on overthrowing the regime until its roots, choosing its replacements till they achieve the rotation of power. I don t envy the Sudanese brothers who overthrew a regime till its tail. They hardly accept the third man giving his good history. I do not know why the Arab leaders always leave behind their men who often belong to the military to rule. This new regime usually is more powerful and harder to break since it learned the lesson from the previous regime. It even takes revenge of those who over threw the previous regime.

One of the researchers specializing in genetics at the Center for Genomics in Zewail University won the L Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science Award and received it at the closing ceremony in Paris. Minnat Allah Alsirifi is known for being a promising researcher. This year, her research presented new functions of proteins in the treatment of DNA damage, which is a cause of many diseases of the immune, neurological and cancer.

Sarah Mansour is an Egyptian Oil Engineer who was graduated from the Pioneer School in 2006 before she achieved her dream of being an oil engineer. In the newspapers, she read about a grant by the Egyptian Ministry of Petroleum and the Malaysian company Petronas to study oil engineering in Malaysia for five years. She was accepted to the scholarship after 7 years of hard working and receiving a number of prestigious awards including the next generation Lady of the Year Award for Women in Energy. Her company supported her to get the scholarship.

Dr. Hisham Abdul Jalil Sayed is an Egyptian doctor who worked in the Saudi Kingdom at a village called Al-Shunana in Al-Qassim. He used to work hard for 12 hours a day at the Medical Family Center. The people of the village respected him and even loved him for his great loyalty and dedication. When he died, more than 3,000 people attended his funeral and many of them visited his family in Egypt to offer their sincere condolences and to offer money for them. Sayed used to visit the patients in their homes, and therefore, the family of the village refused to transfer him to another place in the Saudi Kingdom. May God repose his soul and bless his family by the inheritance he left to his children of love of the people. He was a great man from Alexandria whom I was honored to write this article about.

His devotion to acting developed in the theaters of the churches after he was accepted to join the ministry couple of years ago. He wanted to serve God with his talents and to spread happiness among the people. People love his acting and encourage him to continue. Such words of support renew his passion and gives him hope and encouragement.

French newspapers talked about the visit of French President Emmanuel Macaron to Egypt, which shows how Makron responded to the demands of his people. The French journalist said that President Macaron has drawn the attention of Egyptian translators more than once to the fact that he speaks about human rights, and yet they do not translate the words accurately to President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi. This shows that those surrounding the president don t translate the situation accurately to him and not only the words of the the French guest. The situation also showed that president Macron determined to talk about the issue of human rights no matter what happens. This also happened after he was criticized for not mentioning it last year upon the visit of al-Sisi to France, and therefore, decided to mention it clearly this year. He declared it several times even before he visited Egypt saying that Egypt violated human rights and freedoms. Yet, no body responded in Egypt.
