#Monazarat : The Day after the Presidential Debate
2012-05-11 22:08:00 These are my comments and thoughts about Egypt?s presidential candidates TV debate on air that was aired yesterday in joint broadcast on ONTV and DreamTV for 90 minutes. Just like the debate I divided them on to two parts. Now here is the complete debate itself for those interested in watching the whole thing again. Here is my live coverage for the debate in English.It is full of grammatical and spelling mistakes. Here are also the transcript of the debate?s rounds 1 and 2 in English by follow blogger Mostafa Hussein. The Real winner is the People There is something different in the air without doubt , there is something different indeed because from two years ago nobody has ever imagined that millions of Egyptians would stay up late to watch for 90 minutes a long presidential elections debate between two popular presidential candidates Abdel Moneim Abu El Fotoh and Amr Moussa for the first time in their Republic political history. Today the first question you ask your fr...

It is called "Strong Egypt" Ahmed Shafik has just issued his presidential platform only on Thursday "10/5" and his campaign has not posted it yet on the campaign's official website The only thing I know about it that it is called " The New Era , Better home for great nation" Here is Moussa's pla...
Breaking : Administrative court suspends Presidential elections !!!!
2012-05-10 11:46:00 Al Ahram newspaper has just reported on its official website that the administrative court in Qalubiya has issued a court ruling to suspend the Supreme presidential elections committee decision to hold the presidential elections next May 23rd and 24th !! According from what I understand the administrative court saw that we can?t have presidential elections. Updated #1 : According to MENA this court ruling was taken because the one that should call the voters for elections is SCAF instead the Supreme presidential elections committee ?SPEC?. The government has the right to appeal the court rule tomorrow. Lawyer Wael Bahget is the man who stands behind this surprising court ruling and from hearing him now on TV I know that he got Islamophobia. I saved the country from civil war !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bahget said hinting out the warnings of Muslim brotherhood of going back to the street if there is electoral fraud as well the rage of Abu Ismail?s supporters. People are extreme...

#EgyElections : Presidential campaigns ads "Updated
2012-05-08 20:32:00 Since the start of the presidential campaign officially since last week and we began to be showed with Presidential candidates TV ads in Egyptian TV channels. In this post I will share with you the Egyptian presidential candidates by Alphabetic order and it will be updated as soon as there are new ads. The ads are after the break Abdel Moneim Abu El Fotoh : Abdel Moneim Abu El Fotoh and his campaign aired thad ad that expressed about Abu El Fotoh program and promises to restore security in the first 100 days of his election and to make Egypt one of the strongest 20 countries in the world in the upcoming world. He spoke about justice , about values , in nutshell he spoke about his program in few seconds in very strong voice and command. Unlike other ads he spoke throughout it from the beginning to the end. I like the music used in the background. There was another TV ad the campaign launched and it was so popular online , it was based upon the famous and popular op...
And France has got a new president called #Hollande
2012-05-07 00:37:00 Dear Egyptian chronicles readers meet France?s new president Françoise Hollande , the second socialist president to rule France after Francoise Mitterrand President Hollande of France The 24th President of France is a socialist and he won in the runoff of the French presidential elections by 51.9% of the votes. Of course I will not deny that I am happy that Sarkozy has lost the elections , the dear friend of Mubarak. What I care is now the Egyptian French Relations post revolution in time of new presidents , not only a new president as insh Allah hopefully we will have a new president in 3 months. We are speaking about economic relations , political relations as well military relations aside from cultural relations. We used to have good relations with Mitterrand so I wonder how it will be the relations not only with Hollande but with Mr. X who will become Egypt?s fifth president insh Allah. Now this is a fact that the Egyptian national TV announced that Hollande won before h...
Is not this conflict of Interest ?
2012-05-06 18:59:00 Dr. Mohamed Morsy , the official presidential candidate of Muslim brotherhood in the presidential race and the leader of the Freedom and Justice Party has got two children that were born in California , United States. According to all sources his children got the American citizenship. Now Morsy is not the only one to have children or grandchildren with American citizenship because I think that Amr Moussa?s grandson is also a British citizen as his father Ahmed Ashraf Marwan got the British citizenship and his daughter lived in UK during their marriage. ?They divorced later and Hania Moussa lives in Egypt? There is nothing in the current presidential elections law that speaks about the presidential candidates? offspring nationality but one must wonder about their loyalty and the conflict of interest here especially when it comes to Morsy?s children and grandchildren as we are dealing with the American Egyptian very critical and complicated relationships here. It is not about racis...
Ideas after the Abassiya II defeat
2012-05-06 17:02:00 We are the product of reactive social culture , we never take proactive steps except so rarely ; this is a fact we can not deny.For a year the activists , revolutionary youth and their supporters on twitter and Facebook have kept warning us from the Romanian scenario and how after the execution of CeauSesCu the military rule sabotaged the Romanian revolution in its own way and how SCAF is following the steps of their Romanian countrpart yet strangely all the time the activists and Opinion leaders in Egypt did not tell us for real how to avoid this scenario in the real world. In fact proudly activists and opinion leaders are participating in making this scenario a reality with their revolutionary romanticism and arrogance and by failing in every trap made for them. The political game between SCAF and MB as well the rise of the Salafist power and the release of Islamist Jihadi icons made many people fear from Algerian scenario. We even got people now who believe that army soldiers are...

regarding The Egyptian Delegation To the Kingdom
2012-05-06 02:05:00 At the same time we were watching on TV the clashes between the military police and the protesters at MOD sit in , many Egyptians were shocked from what they were seeing on Al Arabiya TV channel on air from the Saudi Royal palace in Riyadh from humiliation to their Egyptian dignity. A public diplomacy headed by the Speaker of the People Saad El Katatanini and MPs from different parties including Freedom and Justice Party and Al Nour Party as well the leaders of Al Wafd Party ?Sayed Badawy? and Ghad El Thawar Party ?Ayman Nour?. There were representatives from religious institutions in Egypt like Al Azhar and the Orthodox church of Alexandria along with Salafist Sheikh like Sheikh Mohamed Hassan. There were also actors in the delegation that was received warmly by Saudi. The delegation went to apologize for the insults the Kingdom and the King endured during El Gizawy?s case and for the insulting graffiti written on the walls of the embassy from couple of weeks ago as w...

The ?Final? Friday : The end of What exactly !??
2012-05-04 20:55:00 I do not know who really chooses the names of ?Friday Protests? , it is another mystery of the mysteries of the Arab Spring but one thing of sure whoever chose the name of this Friday?s protest in Egypt is really stupid. Today?s Friday protest is called ? The Final Friday? and Please do not ask me what end and whose end we are speaking about here because it is so painful. Today there are two many events , a million man protest in Tahrir square and a revolutionary march heading to Abassiya square and MOD square. I do not know what the aims and goals of these protests for real to be honest aside from rejecting and condemning the brutal attack on the protester and their cold blood murder. The marches to MOD are considered more important today than the protest in Tahrir square. They are organized by April 6th Youth Movement ?two fronts? , The second day of rage Facebook Page ?Which is somehow radical to me? and other 13 movements. The goals of those marches are : Ending the military rul...
And Hussein Salem speaks at last
2012-05-04 01:00:00 And for the first time since very many years Hussein Salem speaks to the Egyptian media on TV , the man who is labeled the Best best friend of Hosni Mubarak , in fact he is the only friend we knew from Mubarak?s close Friend. Salem decided to have his first and last TV interview to none other than Amr Adeeb. The interview was recorded I think from two weeks ago in Spain. Already Adeeb was the only TV host who spoke with Salem before his great escape from Egypt or even after his great escape from Egypt. I believe choosing Adeeb was a good choice because honestly no other TV host in Egypt could tolerate the wickedness of Salem. It was like a memories conversation between a streetwise guy and an old merchant in a local café for God sake !! Amr Adeeb interviews Hussein Salem In nutshell here is what he said : He is innocent from all charges he is accused of whether in Egypt or Spain. He is ready to give the great people of Egypt financial aid. ?in other words he is ready for recon...
#MOD : Because we do not learn from our mistakes !!
2012-05-03 12:29:00 And the protesters are insisting to complete to have useless sit in which we do not know really what their demands for real were up till now in a very hostile area. There were several marches that headed this after noon led by prominent figures including presidential candidates like Abdel Moneim Abu El Fotoh , Hamdeen Sabbahi and Khaled Ali to show their support to the protesters after the brutal clashes in early morning. Thousands joined these marches in solidarity with the protesters and yet on one convinced these protesters to end that sit in which everybody knows that it will end in bloody disaster. We do not know learn from our mistakes , we are being dragged to useless confrontation because of vague empty slogans that have become so ridiculous. Already one of the disasters that they can not deny is how Mohamed El Zawahiri, the brother of Ayman Al Zawahiri was received by his followers mainly from Salafist Jihadi trend as well the Abu Ismail Supporters on the first anni...

2012-04-30 16:41:00 Do you remember that video from last Sunday?s early morning clashes between protesters and thugs as well locals in Abassiya area near the #MOD sit in where attackers face were crystal clear and we had the opportunity to hear and see the moment the video shooter getting hit by another young man carrying a handmade gun !!!? Here is the video to refresh you mind. Later ?Kolena Khaled Said Group? FB page showed a screen capture for that young man in order to be arrested by the authorities. The Screen Capture Now amazingly before we hear anything from the authorities our youth were able to find all the details concerning his address and his name plus his Facebook Profile.

2012-04-25 23:06:00 Today we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the withdrawal of Israeli occupation from Sinai , just days after the decision of EGAS to cut off the gas supply to EMG and thus to Israel. Some say that this was the unique celebration for the day. It is unique anniversary despite it was some how quiet today and I am not speaking about quiet streets of Cairo but rather in Sinai still the Youth of North Sinai movement had a stand across in front of the North Sinai Governorate where tens of locals carried banners against the marginalization of Sinai and the neglect of the government to the peninsula.

The man who does not speak much yet wants presidency
2012-04-04 22:57:00 Who is Khairat El Shater ? A question that many Egyptians from outside Muslim brotherhood are asking themselves now especially that he is going to run for presidency representing Egypt's most organized power. Of course the loyal MB members will not believe that someone in Nubia or in Sinia or in New Valley does not know their savior , Egypt's 21st century Joseph !!! Unlike other leading members of the brotherhood and those members authorized to speak to the media , El Shater is considered very media shy in a way that reminds me Ironically with Omar Soliman. El Shater made about three interviews if I am not mistaken. ?El Shater?s interview with Mahmoud Saad in Egyptian TV, Ahmed Mansour in Al Jazeera, Mona El Shazly in Dream TV ? When the Muslim brotherhood announced that it chose him as a candidate , El Shater did not show up in the press conference held at the MB HQ. Mohamed Badie , the supreme guide of MB and the Mohamed Morsi , the leader of Freedom and Justice were the ...

They Kill Cats in Gezira Club 2
2012-04-03 22:52:00 After publishing the first post ?They kill cats in the Gezira Club ?GSC? and what it caused from noise , I believe I should not close this file. First of all more photos showing dead cats in the club began to surface online along with testimonies in the past few weeks following my post. Here is a photo taken by club?s member Ahmed Khalifa. Poor cat killed in GSC Of course now it seems that there is a development in the way of killing these poor cats , instead of poisoning them they were hit by sticks. Here are more photos taken from GSC by Pam Labib on Facebook from about a week ago. This is a psychopath action to be honest. Now I know that earlier this week a group of GSC members are planning to have a protest against the club?s administration and its decision to kill all stray cats in the club. This is not an Upper Class issue or protest , the one who will protest for a cat will protest for a human. I do not underestimate these small movements anymore. If you see...

An Insult to the Egyptian Revolution that Can?t be ignored !!
2012-04-02 22:57:00 This can?t be ignored simply because it is very insulting on many levels , insulting to Egypt , to the 25 January revolution and its martyrs ; it is even more insulting to dear Lebanon and its martyrs of the civil war. MP Mohamed Abu Hamed participated in some conference organized by the Lebanese forces Party in Lebanon where he celebrated the inspiring Christian Muslim leader Samir Gaegae !!!!!!!!!! In a small speech in front of hundreds of Lebanese Abu Hamed said that Gaegae inspired the Egyptian revolution !! MP Mohamed Abu Hamed praises Gaegae !! The man says to Gaegae ?Thank you our sir for inspiring us !!!? The bastard mentioned the names of our martyrs in his speech , who gave him that right !? Inspired who that war criminal !?

The citizenship of the Sheikh?s mom : Was she American or not ?
2012-04-02 11:57:00 My late mother had only a US Green Card while my sister has got a US passport because she lives in the United States. Sheikh Hazem Abu Ismail said so in an official statement published in his official campaign FB page on Sunday?s evening. Strangely this comes after one week of a complete denial that his late mom ?Mrs. Nawal Abdel Aziz? got any foreign passport. There have been rumors and reports that the mother of the powerful Islamist presidential had got an American citizenship and thus he will not be qualified for presidency. That strong rumor is enforced by several press reports claiming that the late lady entered the country in on 16 August 2009 coming from Germany with American passport and that the number of that passport is ?500611598?. This is a security way of leaking , why now , why they had to wait all that time , we are all wondering.

2012-04-02 08:46:00 Can Khairat El Shater run for presidency of Egypt from health point of view ? A question that pumped in my mind through out the day after hear I remember very good that the family of Khairat El Shater plead through the time of Mubarak that the man?s health was deteriorating especially that he had huge heart and diabetic problems as well blood pressure problems. I remember Amnesty International and international human right organizations even addressed this matter. In 2007 he got that terrible infection in his leg and his family feared that it would be amputated. In 2008 he suffered from defected coronary artery and obstructed artery but received treatment after terrible agony. In fact the man was released from jail on health ground in 2011 so did he recover in one year and is ready to rule Egypt in a very critical time as simply as that !!? God knows how many times Essam Sharaf , our former PM had to transfer to hospital because of exhaustion in the past year so I hate to imagine...

2012-03-31 15:28:00 To whom shall the Egyptian Christians grant their votes in the presidential elections in 2012 ?? Late Pope Shenouda with Gamal Mubarak in 2009 In the past the Egyptian Orthodox Coptic Church used to support the Mubarak regime and used to tell the Coptic Christians to vote for Mubarak and even to vote for Gamal Mubarak for fear of Islamist take over. The Church does not only have to choose a presidential candidate to endorse or even to recommend but it also has to elect a new Pope in order to lead the Church in this upcoming new era and to deal with upcoming new president and new constitution. There was already leak from the orthodox church following the death of Pope Shenouda claiming the Church will be elected after the presidential elections. This means that the Church will choose its Pope based on the new president of Egypt as in the end the new Pope will deal with the new president so it will depend on the character of the new president. The Church managed to create this re...
