The Development of Agriculture in Africa
2008-10-09 07:46:00 Updated October 8:Hang out long enough on White nationalist fora, and after a while you will be amazed at how many White racists actually believe that Black Africans were stone age people who had no metalworking, no agriculture and no civilization of any sort by the time the Europeans contacted them. It's true that Africa is not known for its incredible cultural achievements. But it wasn't exactly a complete backwater either. The White nationalist line that Africans were a Paleolithic people with only stone implements and no agriculture is surprisingly widespread. Too bad that it is horribly wrong.First of all, agriculture comes to the Sahel as early as 9000 BC. It comes to West Africa around the same time. Later it goes to Southern and Eastern Africa. The "niggers* are too stupid to grow food" line, appalling in its stupidity, continues to retain a lot of currency. Screw that. Africans have been growing food for 1000's of years, Jesus Christ.The latest permutation has to do with...

World environment day
2008-06-10 22:30:00 we forgot about this important day in Egypt , originally it is on the 5th of June according to the UN but of course you may know that from this blog that many Egyptians associate this day with our worst military defeat in the modern history. Nevertheless it is not too late to celebrate especially that for the first time in Egypt we feel that people the real people began to have great awareness about environment. Thanks to Agrium , seriously those greedy businessmen Canadians opened the Egyptian people?s eyes especially in the Governates on the hazards of industrial and chemical factories.Now Agrium is stuck in Damietta and can?t go anywhere and has nothing to do except in my humble opinion to close the factory and move back home. Already all the Governates are refusing to host this factory. There are another two Agrium alike cases, may be there are not under the spot light like Damitta?s Agrium for now but they will sooner or later. The first is a factory owned by an Indian Company ...
Follow Up : The Al-Burullus City
2008-06-10 19:48:00 Here is quick info about Al-Burullus City ,You know that there were violent clashes between the citizens and the police , still the city deserves more attention. As almost every City and place in Egypt , it has got real long history ,I will try to summarize it in the few minutes Al-Burullus is a coastal city,well it is actually a peninsula , the Mediterranean sea is in its north and the lake of Al-Burullus is in its south. The city of Al-Burullus itself is historical ,It is named after the Al Burullus lake and the fortress of Salah El-Din known as ?the tower or Al Borg? , officially it is ?Borg Al-Burullus? still it is known as ?Al-Burullus? The city has got one of the original light houses that Khedive Ismail had built in 1869. There is also a from the time of Ahmed Orabi and his battle against the British invasion in the 19th century. It has its own battle in 1956 against the French invaders on the 4th of November which is its national day , the famous Battle of Jules Jamal and...
Follow Up : Al Burullus revolution.
2008-06-09 22:04:00 First of all I want to clarify something , yes Kafr El-Sheikh has a great MB presence but they do not have any relation from near or far with the uprising , with the mini revolution of the Al Burullus people. Already Al Burullus people acted alone with no pre-organizing movement and this is why it is dangerous from the security of point of view . If it were the MB or the leftists then it would be easily to control but this sudden emotional rebel moves make the regime scared to death. This is stupid regime which does not learn from its mistakes , it forgot that simple fishermen can be very angry and their anger of those outcasted forgotten people can harm all Egypt ,especially rich Egypt that goes to the north Coast and already they saw it last July in the Water protests. Now here is a theory the regime acted so ugly and violently with the people of Al Burullus ?they did not arrest them last year? because they wanted to teach them a lesson , it is not a game to cut or block the ...
Follow Up : The Al-Burullus uprising "With videos and photos"
2008-06-09 20:49:00 Al-Burullus made the headlines around the globe in the last 48 hours as the city which saw the hunger revolution , real hunger revolution. All Egyptian commenters and activists consider Al-Burullus to be the second Mahalla whether from the public anger or how the security dealt with it. Nevertheless Al-Burullus people proved to be real respectable people with hot temper , if we were all with hot temper like them our rights would not have been taken one by one like this. If you remember last summer we were shocked to know that in the land of the Nile there were Egyptians who could not find not clean water for months , the Nile Delta saw huge protests starting from Al-Burullus , when the people from that city brought their cause to the attention of the world when they cut and blocked the international highway for 6 or 7 hours after 11 days without water. Ironically its anniversary is next month The people of Burullus knew the trick ,the government won?t listen or look down humb...
Follow Up: Momtaz you are fu*ked up
2008-06-08 21:58:00 Lol Mr.Momtaz El-Kot is paying for his kisses to the regime ass as I expected. The Egyptian Presidency was shocked at what he wrote last Saturday ,well not at what he had written but how the people received it in and outside Egypt. The man made from Mubarak an universal joke with package of dates , exactly two kilos of dates, oh yes Mubarak paid the customs for two kilos of dates. Now the Presidency had to act fast and thus they issued indirect press release from their unofficial spokesperson General Mustafa Bakery in his nationalist newspaper to deny the incident , it did not take place. He wrote this in his column and Al Dostor re-published it ?It is a strange act? According to Bakery, Mubarak was angry from El-Kot that in Italy he asked him on the air force 1 , our air force 1 ?From where did you get that story of the dates ??? El-Kot smiled and did not know what to say . Still Bakery got a point It turned out that those presumed two kilos were present from the Pr...

8,000 protesters are not few protesters
2008-06-08 10:47:00 Last night the city of Al-Burullus witnessed huge clashes between the citizens and police forces. About 8000 citizen gathered and protested against the governer's decision to distribute Wheat on bakeries instead of the people.The clashes and its size and severity reminded the people with the clashes of the Mahalla on last 6th of April 2008 .I think that this is the first big sized protests to be for wheat and bread , Mahalla was originally for workers' right and rise in prices , but this is for Wheat and bread.People are getting more and more angry for wheat , this reminds me with the French Revolution , strangely no one reads history or learns anything from it , Moshe Dyan was right !!The Governer of the Kafr El-Sheikh , which Al-Burullus city follows of course denied that there were clashes and said that the protestors were few on TV last night !!??I do not think that 8000 citizens can be described as few protesters ,even if they protested in Cairo !!??I am trying to put my hand...

2008-06-05 22:11:00 More info about the terrible the Matrya hospital scandal. First I contacted Mr.Akroot who uploaded those daring videos that shocked the public and reached to the media and this is what I knew Dr. Akroot is actually a doctor in the Matrya educational hospital. He did not film these shocking videos , but they were filmed by his co-doctors . He is the one who collected these clips in order to publish it and expose the corruption in media and in public. Now here is the news updates : The minister of health presented an urgent request to the General prosecutor to open an immediate investigation about the incident. There is a lot of trouble in the administration of the hospital. The doctors are being admired for their courage in the situation. It turned out that in this black night not only 4 babies were killed but also 2 adults because of the outage. The families of the victims are so angry. Here I want to say something Dr. Akroot is a citizen Journalist ...
A brand new powers in a brand new middle East "1-2"
2008-06-05 21:25:00 This is a brand new Middle East for sure that suits a brand new world , another step towards the new middle East where the Usually leading countries are substituted with other countries in the leading place,it is not about dictatorship regimes and minorities . In the last 20Th century Egypt and Saudi Arabia were the leading the countries in the Middle East, Egypt was the first then Saudi Arabia was the second , then in the last 27 blessed years the roles were switched especially in the last two years , Saudi Arabia became the leader and we are the follower , of course both were following the American Orders blindly. Saudi Arabia was always the faithful ally for the United States ,so it is not a surprise , Egypt has its own ups and downs with America since the revolution or the coup of 1952 "it was actually the first one to be backed by the American administration then in the region" Any how it seems that the United States got bored from these two dictatorship corrupte...
Al Matrya Hospital shocking videos
2008-06-04 22:33:00 I do not know if I should post this or not . Last week Al Matrya educational hospital had seen a tragedy on the 22nd of May 2008 when a power outage took place , yes Power outage took place for two hours leading to the dramatic death of 4 babies in the neonatal intensive care.You must know before this outage on the 22nd of May , the hospital witnessed an another outage from three weeks before for 5 minutes and you must know that the back up electric generators did not work !!More important you must know that the administration of that hospital in Cairo that follows the ministry of health knew that. You must know that the administration of that hospital faked the time of death of those infants three hours before the outage so it would escape the legal accountability !!Now when the outage happened ,the doctors who were in duty during that time did what they could do to save those babies , they used their mobile phones to light the Neonatal I.C , one of them filmed these critical mo...

Is he the president of another country ??
2008-06-03 23:07:00 President Mubarak is in Rome at the food security summit today and said to the Journalists and reporters from around the globe that Egypt did not suffer currently from food Crisis !!?? Excuse !!?? What about the daily queues in front of bakeries to get some loaves of bread after waiting for hours !!?? What about his decision to save the day and order the army to share its wheat with the people ?? What about the decisions to import Wheat from faraway countries like Russia ?? What about the Rice Crisis ?? Rashid order to stop the export of Egyptian Rise and this caused a trouble abroad and the price of Rice went up because of it ?? Does he think that those reporters will believe him like the chief in editors he takes with him in his Air Force One !!?? This shows that this man is no longer contacted to the present and he lost his ability to interact with the outside world as he should !!?? He lives in his world of lies and hypocrisy made by his entourage. The sad thing he doe...
Two hits
2008-06-03 19:46:00 Two hits in the heads hurt An Egyptian common proverb I remember it when I read about another book that can cause trouble for Bush and his administration , already the man is still suffering from the consequences of McCallen?s book and does not know where it is going to take him so he would find out that there is another book exposing his failure in the Iraqi war. This time the author is not a Civilian old buddy press secretary , he is retired U.S LT.General Ricardo S. Sanchez ,the former commander of the coalition forces in Iraq. The book is Wiser in Battle : A Soldier?s story ,you can order it from Amazon here. Amazon.com: Wiser in BattleISBN: 0061562424ISBN-13: 9780061562426 It seems some people want to clear themselves earlier in front of the American people , in front of the people of the world and more important in front of the history. From administration point of view the Bush administration was suffering from a groupthink . This is what I got from the two bo...
The sequence of events
2008-06-01 19:01:00 Please look with me at the sequence of the events in the Levant in the past two weeks: The Lebanese parties reached to an agreement in Doha ; no more strikes , more Parliament sessions and a new president with a national cabinet. Turkey announces that it is the mediator between Syria and Israel. Syria and Israel admit that there are Peace negotiations between them. There are news that Israel and Hezbollah are going to exchange POWs in a very big deal that will even include Samir Kantar himself !!?? Fouad El-Saniora is back again as the Prime minister !!?? Israel released Lebanese Prisoner on the 1st of June for exchange of their soldiers remains . Now this is what I think Egypt is completely excluded from all that considering that the fact that the Egyptian regime considered itself as a the sole mediator between the Arabs and Israel, I mean were not the words of Mubarak and his FM during the Israeli invasion to Lebanon in 2006 that we kept our embassy ...

They are fighting and they are alone no one in the world care for them , here I am trying to do my role to make the people know about the on going struggle taking place in Damietta. You remember that I posted the news that President Mubarak ordered the transfer of the Agrium factory to some where else other than Damietta and I think I told you that the great people of Damietta demanded to see a written official form from this verbal promise , well the people of Damietta are now known to be very clever and cunning , well thank Goodness for that. Till now the factory is not closed and it is not transferred despite the verbal orders of President Mubarak , the President of Egyp...

2008-05-31 21:53:00 It started to make headlines in international newspapers as the four Christians massacre in Egypt . With my all respect all those campaigns in the radical Christian blogs do not help at all because for the first time the Egyptian police takes seriously and does what it should do : Serious investigation. For the first time the police conducts a serious investigation and rolled out the possibility someone lunatic killed those people , I will not speak about the possibility of a terrorist act because it is not , it is a straight crime. More details are published in the newspapers today especially Al Dostor . The details more and more prove that it was some kind of mafia , or a crime organization style murder. You want the truth , can you handle the truth ?? as I hinted it is more about the Gold shop owner , the jeweller , late Mr.Makram , May God bless his soul ; it turned that he has another side we do not know just like person in this earth , it turned out that he was usurer fa...
A drop of life you are wasting
2008-05-31 12:32:00 In our holy Quran "Allah" SWT says "We create from Water everything life."All the experts are saying that we are heading towards a Water Crisis in the future , all the experts are saying that all the wars in the future especially in our regions will be not for oil or land or even Peace but for Water. It is something you can understand easily , water is the most important thing in life ,it is the essence of life .But of course we do not listen to all these warnings , they are just newspapers talk . Here I am not talking about environmental issues but I am speaking about a national security issue in Egypt.Last summer most Egyptians were shocked to know that there are other Egyptians in the valley who do not have access to Clean water , despite all the years of repetitive "In the time of President "X" all Egyptians have access to clean water and electricity !!" Those Egyptians do not have access to clean water where as a minority of Egyptians in the north Coast use water for their swi...

Amnesty International 2008 Report Critical of Iran & Egypt
2008-05-30 18:28:00 Amnesty International has just released its 2008 report regarding the state of the world's human rights.Concerning the repression of religious minorities, most prominent were the struggles of the Baha'is of Egypt and Iran.Regarding Egypt, the report states the following in reference to the identity documents matter:The legal requirement to specify religion on identity papers, and only religions recognized by the state, continued to have serious implications for some minorities. Baha’is, whose faith is not recognized by the state, cannot obtain identity papers without posing as a Muslim, Christian or Jew. Without the papers, they cannot enroll children in school, drive a car, or open a bank account. The lack of identity papers also leaves them vulnerable during police checks. Converts, especially from Islam to Christianity, also faced difficulties changing their papers.As to Iran, it reported a brief account of the current escalation of oppressive practices against the Baha'i po...

2008-05-30 10:22:00 Ok I can't take no more from this madness ,I was planning to post something either about Palestine or about Egypt regional political position but I think it is my role to stop this madness.Last Wednesday at 12 AM Cairo local time, Zeitoun neighbourhood in Cairo was a witness to a strange crime I think Cairo and Egypt did not see like it for a long time , it could be the first from its circumstance , I heard about it from my grand ma who watched it in the 6 News on National TV , I was amazed when I found that our ETV sent a reporter to the accident scene , but then my grand ma told me that it was a terrible unique one ; two persons killed four person in a Jeweller shop ; the owner and his aides and ran away. At the middle of the day , in front of all those people in a working day "Wednesday". Immediately I considered it as an arm robbery in the middle of the day due to the bad economic situations in Egypt , already there are not so many arm robberies in Cairo but I expect them to...

As you can see the reporter won't be from Fox if she did not ask Mubarak JR about Iran, this is the first question , already I do not know why he is speaking about Iran , it is an external issue and he is not official member in the cabinet .

If You know the reason
2008-05-28 17:29:00 Q : why had the Egyptian government renewed the activation of the Emergency laws for another two years ?? A: Because the future terrorism law does not include any protection to the regime for the strikes, it does not recognize strikes as an act from terrorism banned by law where as under emergency laws it can be banned by the orders of the President "Despite the fact it will be illegal " Q : what is the significance of the two years period ?? A: After two years ,we will be in 2010 , the end of president's Mubarak presidential period ,where it is expected than he will not renew and will abdicate and his son Gamal will take over It seems that the strikes are now the new threat facing the Mubarak regime scaring them after the success of the 6th April strike "this is a success, this fear". Now on a daily basis in Egypt there are strikes across the nation mainly in the factories and there are protests some where in front of something. The culture of Strikes ...

Follow Up : The Jewish delegation
2008-05-26 22:13:00 This is a follow up to my post " Then Compensate everyone including the Egyptians" as I have found more information relevant to the the topic. It turned out this delegation is formed from a group of Egyptian Jews who are living in Canada "it makes it Canadian", this delegation was going to stay in Alexandria ,already the association of the Jewish community is there. They were invited by the Israeli Embassy. They were not planning to demand a compensation for their nationalized properties but they were going to demand the Jewish antiquities from old Torahs which is in the custody of the high supreme council of antiquities, the thing which also Egyptian state refuses and I am with that refusal.These stuff were found in Egypt and they are Egyptian and should stay in Egypt . For God Sake in the same way Egypt is entitled to restore its statues from Syria , you know the ancient Egyptians invaded old Syria and there are many ancient Egyptian antiquities the...

One more year
2008-05-25 19:36:00 The emergency law is expected to be renewed for another one year by the orders of Mubarak and approval of the Parliament !! It seems that it will never expire !!?? Already I heard a very fearful future scenario from an activist friend that Mubarak wants the two laws : The future terrorism law and the current emergency law to work in parallel at the same time so there would be no gaps !!?? Look I do not know how correct is that theory but I can't deny that Mubarak and his regime will not refuse such ultimate control. For your information the Terrorism law was supposed to substitute the emergency law after the later was active for the last 27 years since the assassination of President Sadat . The government was supposedly to finish the terrorism law this month but it did not . Thank God there is pseudo terrorism act here and there to justify the renewal ,it is better to be clear ,it is good they stop to fool around with the people , because people are not longer f...
Then Compensate everyone including the Egyptians
2008-05-25 18:49:00 I read that there are a group of Jews who used to live in Egypt pre-1960 are demanding the Egyptian government to pay a huge sum of money "millions of US$" as a compensation for the nationalisation of their properties in Egypt. It is not the first time I read this , in fact from time to time I find in the media there is a certain Jewish association which is going to sue to the Egypt for a compensation but this time it is making a lot of noise with the expected meeting that is going to take place in Alexandria "I read that it was cancelled and the delegation from Canada was not coming for compensation !!" Look whether this is true or not I just want to say something ;the Jews of Egypt were not the ONLY people who were nationalized. It was everyone from the A rich class of Pre-1952 era whether Egyptians or Foreigners ; of course Foreigners were nationalized in 1956 including the Jewish Foreigners especially French. When the laws of land ownership limitation ...

Ayman Nour and Samir Kuntar
2008-05-24 11:53:00 Samir Kuntar is the most famous Arab political prison in the Israeli jails, he has a life sentence to serve in Israel that crosses 100 years, already the Lebanese Druze did military operations in which the Israelis considered terrorist acts “To be honest I read his case from the Israeli and Arab perspective and to be honest I do not know whom I shall believe”. Samir is considered the oldest Lebanese prisoner in the Israeli Prisons and he is on the top of the Hezbollah Lebanese prisoners list to be free in exchange with the Israeli captured two Soldiers “Do you remember them??”. The Israelis refuse to let him free in the POWs exchange operations except for information about Aron Arad .
