What a coincidence
This coincidence shows you how the Egypt , Syria and Lebanon are too close to each whether on the Governmental level or the public level.
Last Week Mubarak announced a 30% raise in Egypt
Last week Bashar announced a 25% raise in Syria
Then this week the Egyptian Government raised the prices of fuel products along with other products
Also this week the Syrian Government raised the prices of fuel products along with other products
To Lebanon
The Pro-American Cabinet that no one wants it more because of its economic and political decisions raised the prices of fuel products along with other products and now people are really angry not because of sectarian reasons or Hezbollah or Iran but because of the prices. read more »
Too late
Egypt and Saudi Arabia announced that they are going to have an urgent meeting in the Arab League for the Arab foreign ministers after two days from today , oh yes after two days ; on Monday !!??
Either that Egypt and Saudi Arabia are waiting to see which side will win and so they will form a position despite their support to the 14th of March or that they are waiting form some external miracle to come and save the 14th of March from a bitter defeat !!
I do not know what could happen in the next 48 hours , it seems to me that Nasrallah was not kidding when he hinted that he could control Beirut in short time , well he read more »

Egypt: Nothing Moves People As Much As Religion
The late Naguib Mahfouz once said: “If you want to move people, you look for a point of sensitivity, and in Egypt nothing moves people as much as religion.” It continues to move the social and political mechanics of the people, the future of Egyptian politics and the consciousness of our nation's bloggers alike. These are the current issues of Egypt illustrated through their words. read more »

In Memory Of The 6th Of October War (Yom Kippur War)
It has been 34 years since the 6th Of October War (Yom Kippur War).
If anyone searches the Internet for info about the war or asks a foreigner what they know about that war, the result is one thing... The Israelis won!
As for us Arabs\Muslims, we believe we won (at least us Egyptians won on our side).
Why Foreigners think we lost the war?

Coming Soon: The Ayatollahs (Sheikhs) Ruling Egypt!
Just had a look at the sneaked version of the Moslem Brotherhood's political program!! MB realized that their policy of brandishing the banner of "Islam is the solution" would not do the trick anymore after the new constitutional amendments banning the use of religious slogans in politics, so they had to come up with some sort of a political program, and they did!! The program is as poor as it
Dictatorship…but among who?
Dictatorship, something which most human beings in our world suffered from in a time or another when talking about regimes. All people know or feel how does it look like to fall under the burden of a dictator of some sort or another. But here, I am not talking about it while dealing with regimes usually supported by the west. Here I’m talking about people. The reflections of cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression, on the people, and what does it lead to. About the results. As a universal law, every action has a reaction, equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. This eternal physical law can be applied on people while still being politically correct.

The Regime and Mario
I guess that we are in the same place with that person who plays Mario here in this video. In democratic administrations, the game is so hard, but things develop in the right way. But in Egypt, the regime cheats to make the game impossible :)
يحدث في سيناء الآن
بعد ثلاث أيام بالظبط يوم 1 يوليو 2007 يبدأ ألاف من أهل سيناء ممثلين لكل قبائل بدو سيناء من الشمال و الجنوب و الوسط اعتصام مفتوح بالقرب من الحدود المصرية الفلسطينية.

Egypt - Is it Still a Regional Leader?
We were taught in schools that Egypt is the leader of the Arabs and their big brother with its bzillion years history and wise role. But, is this still true now!? In fact I think the Egyptian leadership has shrank due to many reasons.
Some may claim that Mubarak's regime is focused on some minor internal affairs such as preparing his son Gamal to succeed him. And this is the main reason that Egypt has lost its regional place. read more »
بيان من قبائل بدو سيناء
بيان من قبائل بدو سيناء
على لسان المفوض/ محمد أبو راس
اننا أبناء قبائل سيناء لا نقبل أن يزايد أحد على وطنيتنا مهما كان موقعه أو مركزه، فنحن مصريون وطنيون و سجلات المخابرات الحربية تشهد بذلك. و لكن للأسف نقولها بمرارة أننا أبناء سيناء و نعامل من قبل الأجهزة الأمنية معاملة لا إنسانية و الحكمة تقول (اذا زاد الشيئ عن حده انقلب الي ضده) و هذا ما حدث بالفعل. read more »
