The national memory needs to be refreshed : The Evacuation day and the Danshoway 100th anniversiary

is it me or is it the national memory of this country began to forget important days in her history ?

beside ignoring the Egyptian P.O.W of 1967 ,we are forgetting very important days in the modern history . Last 18th of June was the Evacuation day where the last British solider left Egypt in 1954 . The official media didn't give attention at all the day . In fact we heard fireworks but turned out that it didn't belong to the Evacuation day but to Queen Elizabeth II 80th Birthday , the British Ambassador made a huge party celebrating her majesty's birthday !! I don't mind doing what ever the Sir wants , it is not his mistake but it is ours

The other occasion , the 100th anniversary of the Danshoway massacre

Do you remember it ? the one we took in history where British occupation authority with its allies in the corrupted regime in 1906 made a massacre in Monfiya's small village in Danshoway and Mustafa Basha Kamal exposed that war crime to the whole world even in UK itself and ended with transferring the High British Envoy from Cairo

Do you remember it ? Do you remember the poor farmers who were hanged and whipped in front of their homes and Families in Danshoway ? I bet if you are Egyptian ,you will remember , well I am afraid our government didn't remember

I wonder why we didn't remember as people , this is much more dangerous , we shouldn't forget , no nation forget its past , until Now the prime Minister of Japan pays visits to a temple dedicated for the Japanese army in WWII , he is insisting on visiting this temple despite all the opposition from neighbour countries like South Korea and China which suffered a lot from the Japanese army in WWII , he didn't even apologise yet now we care much about our friends whether the Israeli or the British

You know why Japanese made it , because they didn't forget their past , they learnt for its past and also respected their ancestors

Please read the Fataha if you are Muslim or say any prayer you know dedicated to the souls of those poor farmers who did nothing from 100 years
