Nuclear Egypt

BBC article

So it is a real thing , not broken promises in political conventions as I thought at first , Egypt is going to enter the Nuclear age again ,after many years of closing its nuclear projects from how long I don't know , already every President comes in Egypt since Nasser says that he will add Egypt to the Nuclear club then nothing happens or he says we are a peaceful nation and Israel can not hit us because the Nuclear dust will reach to it in half hour !!

Seriously I didn't think that the government would respond so quickly to GM's vision , it is so impressive , very impressive , because they ignored all the issues and problems they are facing from stagnant economy to train accidents to political reforms to unemployment to teachers' salaries .......to and they focused on joining the nuke club ,they put in their priority in a stupid way.

The wonderful thing is the immediate respond of the cabinet to GM's call , as if they were carrying on his orders , as if he were the president "heavens forbid!!"

In newspapers ,official ones of course ,justifications are made by ministers for the re-opening of the nuclear reactors in Egypt and ironically they are so silly unbelievable justifications , for example

We are doing in the search for substitute energy instead of depending on electricity as our population is increasing rapidly and we consume electricity so much that we will need another kind of energy in the future!!

Silly claims I am sorry for different reasons

1. The high dam in Aswan provides Egypt with more than needed electricity that we export electricity to both Jordan and Syria !!
2. If we will have a power supply shortage problem in the future , then why we are exporting electricity to both Jordan and Syria , we can cut it off !!
3. If we are going to search for a substitute energy , why we go for the nuclear energy with its expensive expenses and dangerous Hazards and forget that we have a gold mine called Solar energy
4. Solar Energy is much more better , safe for the environment and already we have sun 365 day per year , we don't have to import materials end with "ium" with big sum of money
5. We got much more important issues and problems need the money that will be spent on this project !!

People are hungry , we have something now called "The Egyptian food bank " delivering free food for the poor advertising in the TV like the "Salvation army" and those are speaking about Nuclear power !!

Now for your own knowledge this is so-called "Nuclear project" is not a new thing at all , in fact it is very old project based upon American proposal and do you know both late Nasser and Sadaat "May God bless their souls and prayers of Traaweeh beside" rejected it .

Oh yes , listen to this and my source is

El-Masryoon e-newspaper

The Americans in 1960s ,exactly in 1967 made a silly plan for Peace , the plan was the following establishing three nuclear reactors ,one in Israel , one in Egypt in Sinai over the Akkaba and one in Jordan , the purpose of these reactor is to sweeten the sea water and thus use this water in establishing common manufacturing and agriculture communities and projects between Egypt"Sinai" and Israel and thus Peace would happen , of course Jordan and Israel agreed "they didn't say in the report but I think they did so from reading the history , you could predict so" and for sure Egypt refused and it had to refuse ,check the date 1967 ,they did n't eve wait for another year after the defeat , they thought Egypt would agree easily

Then in 1974 in the famous historical visit of President Nikson , the same proposal was presented to President Sadaat , and the man refused because such a project would be a threat to the national security.

Yet in 1976 it was said in the report that Egypt signed an initial agreement despite Camp David wasn't signed yet !! but nothing happened then at all no reactors or agreements or anything what so ever , and president Sadaat was killed in 1981!!

Anyway GM accepted the deal after taking the permission from both United States and Israel according to French "Liberation" , ironically "El-Masryoon" is speaking about that GM is speaking about Nukes against the American well !! causing more problems but the two sides !!

I am sorry but GM and US are playing both very intelligent game

Do you know when you hit two birds with a stone, it is something like this

GM wanted to be popular among the people and more important among the military , don't forget GM is a civilian and his supporters day and night are speaking about him as the first civilian president and the importance of ending this military state blah blah blah to the end of this talk , people of course in Egypt are romantic , having a Nuclear project like Iran against Israel and the States "that what they know and understand is a pride from them

The United States want to create a new opposite to Iran , Israel is the opposite in Iran in Nuclear activity ,yet Israel is the enemy in the Arab area , also Iran got a very big popularity with its stubborn head president Nijad , People in Egypt love him so much , so the idea is to create an opposite to Iran from the region and it won't be better than Egypt , a big ally and the regime depends on the US , the greatest Arabic Sunni country against the famous Persian Shiite country

That what I think

What I believe is we got much important stuff than to have a new nuclear reactor ,of course I am 100% to have an Egyptian Nuclear program and we got a wonderful base of human resources from professors that give us an advantage over Iran which import Russian and Chinese Nuclear energy scientists , but People need to eat , need to have freedom , plus it is not in the end for the sake of Egypt , because the sake of Egypt is determined by its own people and not for other countries' sake or personal agendas

By the way if Egypt is going to the Nuclear age why the cabinet decided to close the Dabah Nuclear project !!??

Updates : Both The United States "according to its Ambassdor in Cairo" and France are welcoming the Egyptian decision :)

p.s many don't know that the Americans were the one who build the Iranis nuclear reactors as a gift for the Shah to scare the Arabs and Nasser , but then the Islamic revolution came and turned the table upside down so who knows !!?? ;)
