Here is what proves that the NDP includes all the scum in the country,this video below was filmed through a mobile phone camera in the parliament during the feud between MP Ahmed Shobeir and a MP from the Muslim brotherhood that reached to the level of smears and assault attempt from Shobeir's side of course.
The MB MP was accusing Shobeir of playing a suspicious role in Tanta flex strike crisis for the favor of the Saudi investor , he only told him that his role was suspicious and suddenly he found himself in front of a mad man calling him all kind of names jumping over the table in order to attack him physically. MP Hamden Sabhi saved the day by standing between them.

Egyptian Chronicles - Sat, 2010-02-20 19:55 By
In the weekend the taxation authority chief Ashraf Al-Arabi has resigned from his post. He did not resign because he felt how unpopular he was and is in this country , nor did he resign because he objected on the strange unfair taxation policies of the minister of finance. He resigned or rather forced to resign thanks to the uproar caused by the disclosure of his monthly salary in the parliament.
It turned out that the head of taxation authority in Egypt’s salary per month is LE 1 Million !!!! Yes LE 1 million per month and do not ask or even wonder if he pays his taxes !!

The Arabs and the West

لَسْتُ أَدرِي » English - Wed, 2010-02-17 02:39 By Lasto adri (online)

One of the confusing things I noticed between my Arab friends, is how divided they are – when it comes to their opinion about the west. They either think of it as the source of conspiracies theories, fake liberties and double standards or “the model” the Arab world should blindly follow.
I seldom met someone who is half way between both opinions..

So here comes my two questions to you (whether you are a western or an Arab):
1. Changing tables, are your western acquaintances divided in the same way towards Arabs? or is it different? does that have anything to do with cultural background?
2. Also I’m interested to know the definition for “the west” in your context?

The High Dam : A Bless Or A Curse

Egyptian Chronicles - Wed, 2010-02-17 00:33 By

Hopefully insh Allah this will not be the last post about the high dam jubilee

Last January 15th 2010 Egypt has celebrated the jubilee of launching the high dam aka Aswan Dam construction in 1960. Unfortunately we did not celebrate it as it should because of the heavy rains that hit Aswan. We were supposed to have more celebrations especially that three countries are participating in the event : Egypt , Russia "for its huge support" and Syria 'as we were one country then'. It is great anniversary for sure and it is sad that younger generations do not know or understand its importance or its controversy.  read more »

Not Green Data - Fri, 2009-12-18 01:27 By Tarek
I consider myself one of those people who prefer watching novels on the silver screen than reading them as a book. But I think I've read many books this year, they may be even more than those books that I've read during my entire life. I'll try to list them in a non chronicle order, along with my comments on them.

It's not a Football match for God's Sake

Not Green Data - Sun, 2009-11-22 08:57 By Tarek
During the early days of the internet, the Egyptians were surprised to know that people living in Europe and the US believe that we live in tents and travel by camels. I am sure that the internet has helped western people now to be more reasonable and they only need few strokes on their keyboards to know that we started using cars more then one hundred years ago, and that we have multi-thousands years old buildings.

Video after the jump.

This is why democracy sucks: Sometimes you get results you don’t like. Today’s story, variations of which appeared in a number of independent papers, deals with the case of Essam al-Erian, probably the best-known Brotherhood leader in the West, because he always seems to be quoted in stories about the movement.  read more »
