Here are also the transcript of the debate?s rounds 1 and 2 in English by follow blogger Mostafa Hussein.

Today the first question you ask your fr...

2012-05-11 21:50:00 Stephanie McMahon issues the following via her mother, Linda McMahon's CT senate campaign: Dear Friend, My mom is a lot of things to a lot of people. But to me, she'll always be the tooth fairy, the arbitrator of who crossed the imaginary line in the back seat during a long car ride, and my very best friend. She taught me how to tie my shoes, made me eat my vegetables, and held my hand the first time I had my heart broken. She taught my brother and me to stand up for what we believe in, to stand with those who can't stand up for themselves and above all, to always stand together. Now that I'm a mom, I get it. Like so many young girls, I used to laugh at the thought of turning into my mother. Now, I pray my girls see in me what I see in my mom. This Mother's Day, I hope you'll take a moment to share with all of us on Facebook, Twitter or email the greatest memories, prettiest pictures and biggest lessons you have of your mom. But more importantly, I hope you share the...

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.

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...

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...
