Sick Egypt

22% of the Egyptian People are infected with Hepatitis C Virus or virus “C” as it is common between us in Egypt according to the WHO

Egypt is the 3rd country in the world to have the highest rate of cancer between Children and it will achieve a higher position soon insh Allah for the adults soon

One third of the Egyptian population is suffering from depression with its different kinds and degrees and most of them don’t know they got depression

Is it me or Egypt is in danger as its people are in a great danger of extinction

Our present and future are threatened and surrounded by deadly diseases that we didn’t suffer or know from 25 years ago, yes in the president Mubarak’s era, the greatest deadly achievement, Ibrahim Eissa had written about this in the daily “Dostor” and said that Mubarak had turned Egypt in to “Sick Egypt” and this “sick Egypt” is much worst than “occupied Egypt” and I am afraid he is right, Egyptians didn’t suffer these deadly diseases in the time of the occupation.

Do not tell me it is because of the time and these diseases are every where, I am sorry it is not an excuse

It is not an excuse because my dear friends this is the regime which imported and forced the farmers across Egypt to use fertilizers and Pesticides that cause cancer to humans for years and the result is an usual high rate for cancer especially among Children

It is the same regime which let those who imported those fertilizers and Pesticides mainly from Israel to escape from punishment ,it even rewarded them , the man behind that unforgivable crime the agriculture minister for more that two decades “Youssef Wali” escaped from the trials ,the financial scandals and became the vice head of the National Democratic party , of course it is more than an honorable position in the party as he and his family served the party for a long time ,after all I heard that he is enjoying his time between Egypt and America !!

“God damn Youssef Wali” I heard this phrase from a friend, a young man whose wife, a mother of two, didn’t reach her 35 suffered from cancer in her stomach “pardon me as I don’t know its name in English” and they had to remove parts from the small intestine , this lady was treated for three years, didn’t eat solid food for a whole six month, you can imagine the sadness and terror she and her family lived and the reason was the populated food according to the doctors

It is the same regime that imported from couple of months infected wheat that causes cancer to the humans to be used in the public bakery for making bread, the primary source of food for the working class in Egypt.

The hospital of the Children Tumors for 10 years now is being built and seems not to finish except when the last sick child in Egypt dies, I was so small when I had felt so sad in Ramadan while watching the sick children begging the viewers to donate at least one pound for hospital 57357 ,a regular Ad campaign that broke hearts and minds in Egypt , in fact it would break anyone except the president and his wife the mother of all children ,for ten years the government which owns this hospital is taking money to build it where as billions of pounds and dollars are spent here and there on useless projects and travel trips and boy they were and are so many. I have got nothing in donating for the hospital on the contrary I don’t like to boast but I donate to it every time I can despite my grand mother warnings that these money won’t go for the children not a single penny they will go for the regime and she is right.

Hepatitis C became the usual news with the government promises to the public to release the Chinese blue or yellow tablet “its medicine” in cheap prices. The problem in Egypt is not only in the price of the tablet but also the other option which is the transplant of the liver, you can imagine the price of this operation in Egypt, high like the sky so the option, the only option was available for the people was to go to China to transplant the livers of the Chinese political prisoners like Falun Gong members in their bodies in the Chinese transplant centers before these center were closed !!

To search for a cure in China is also for rich and capable but the rest of the people are searching for alternative ways .In the last couple of weeks there was a big debate about the “Herbal medicine” after its spread along with other non traditional folk kinds of medicine, the debate was about the usual question “Is it for real??”, I won’t discuss whether it is real or not and whether those who practice it are crooks or not but I will discuss important thing many didn’t talk is why people go for the “herbal medicine” , they go because they can’t afford the other regular medicine, those who attacked it didn’t bother them to know why People are going for it ,they are forgetting that many Egyptians have no other alternative to try other cheap options in order to live

I know two persons who suffer from Virus “C”, well suffer may be is not the suitable word because they are living their life after all Life is too short to be sad in, those two can be considered from the low working class, they are working as chauffeurs, and they told us that when they go to the hospital they found many people like them, they don’t complain much thought, they have faith in God and that what they are suffering from is just a test.

They are like the rest of the Egyptian people patient and believers, don’t like to complain much and that’s why the regime doesn’t care for them

Strangely I didn’t mention the other diseases spreading now in the poor working class!!

Oh I forgot to mention that one of the promises President Mubarak promised to fulfill in his presidential campaign was to provide the citizens with a medical insurance!!
